Unrelated community, and downloading emulators from anywhere except where the developer intended to publish it is sketchy.

Want to be exempt from tariffs? Don't worry, Troll Physics has got your back.

Step 1: put a small sized SOC to the biggest pc case you can find

Step 2: fill the rest of the case with your preferred good to exempt from tariffs.

Step 3: declare your import/export as a computer

IRS will be mad, Trump will be jelly. Problem?

For that price you could easily get citizenship in 10 different countries AND secure estate to live in each of them.

If I was a millionaire, I'd rather go this option.

Living your life as a journalist in Sweden for all these years without any crime history at all; but getting hit via terror charges while visiting Turkey. Try trialing this at any country with proper justice and the case would be dismissed immediately.

 

Millions of people have joined together to voice their demands of justice after Imamoglu's arrest. Imamoglu is the lead candidate against Erdogan's presidency, and has been pushing for an early election before his arrest.

 

According to journalist Fatih Altaylı, Turkish Embassy in Canada has filmed protests made in front of the embassy and identified a student who attended the protest against the Erdogan regime, called them and confiscated their passport. Embassy has said "You're a protester, go take your passport from Imamoglu if you can" as their reasoning behind this action to the student.

I remember, TPP had to implement democracy to beat it. 30k people entering inputs and all it took was one player to press down and we go back again

I've been attending these protests, the police is going aggressive at certain places, still me and a lot of people are not backing down. In Imamoglu's words, "Either we all win, or none of us does"

TLDR: Imamoglu's detainment turned into an arrest request

Erdogan's presidency rival, The Union of Turkish Municipalities and Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ekrem Imamoğlu were referred to the courthouse with a request for arrest.

They do not need AKP at all to trigger an early election this way. Even parties like HDP and IYI have 30 parliament members, CHP is the leading opposition party so definetly can. Typically using this response without any reason will make the party lose votes, so it is reserved for emergencies.

However, this is an emergency situation. CHP can use this method at any time, however visualising the support before doing so could help a lot with the votes.

There exists plenty of ways to push for an early election. Easiest way I can see is resigning around 30 parliament members; which according to the law starts an early party election.

I called CHP's candidate nomination votes a dumb move back in the day, since the sole candidate to vote for was announced to be Imamoglu. Since the next president election was dating all the way to 2028, I thought there was no point in voting towards a single candidate, what would that show?

That was until Imamoglu's arrest. With that move Erdogan has managed to unify all opposing parties to rally behind Imamoglu. CHP, the lead opposition party can show the support behind Imamoglu via sheer numbers to push for an early election.

For better context in the broader timeline: Yesterday, the government pressured the university he graduated from to falsify his diploma. Law enforcement previously conducted raids and arrested various elected mayors, and is also keeping Umit Ozdag, leader of Zafer Party in jail without any reasonable justification.

Istanbul Republic Chief Prosecution Office has ordered arrest on 100 people that include politicians, journalists and businessmen, and Erdogan's biggest rival candidate for president, Ekrem Imamoglu, who is also the current mayor of Istanbul.

The fallout highlights how geopolitical tensions and financial risks can destabilize global franchises. Reports suggest consumer boycotts targeting Western brands over Israel’s actions in Gaza significantly impacted KFC’s Turkish sales . Meanwhile, İş Gıda’s debt-fueled growth strategy left it vulnerable to economic shocks, including Turkey’s inflation crisis.

BDS works. That's why it's illegal.
