Is this "rare congress" just a regularly held 5 year congress that occurs like China's ones?

EDIT: Yes. It's a 5 year congress.

Yeah so "rare congress" is typical scare phrasing used when reporting DPRK.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 34 points 1 month ago

Yep, more of the sort to be found in the article itself, "dynasty," etc. etc.

Personally, I like my congress medium rare.

Well, if they keep using the word every 5-year-plan, I think that downgrades the rarity. Pretty soon it will only be an uncommon congress.

The Legendary congress will happen any year now...

I'll wait to get excited until they rip a sleeve that has a foil congress in it.

The one where they decided to get nukes was the rare foil
