This is the real tweet. It has the exact same time stamp as the screenshot, except the screen shot is eastern time zone. Warning: the tweet is racist.

I do not think you made the fake tweet. I know that you found it on reddit or something. I figured you thought the tweet was real when you posted it. I didn't say that the fake tweet is homophobic. I said it's weird that whoever created the tweet imagined a scenario where a political figure frequently touches their anus. The tweet implies that Charlie does it all the time. The tweet could have simply said that he doesn't wash his hands, but it went into more explicit detail.

I just wanted people to know that it's probably a fake tweet. It's not on his twitter page. It was made by some redditor. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that the tweet is fake. There is an abundance of things to criticize Charlie Kirk about. Likethat he does tours where he debates young college students is very embarrassing. He chooses to set up arguments with people who are inexperienced in politics so that he has an advantage in the conversation.

I didn't ask if you use twitter. I just thought some people would want to know what is real and what isn't. Republicans did criticize Zohran for eating with his hands. Laura Loomer as example.

Also creating a fake scenario where republicans secretly touch their buttholes is very Democrat coded. What is it supposed to insinuate?

I don't think it's correct to blame video games for the world being shit. The popularity of videos games is due to the world being shit, not the other way around. Video games exist as a form of escapism. If the world were less shit, people would play less video games.

KCNA is a news agency within DPRK. They labeled this article as the top news story for the day. I think it's interesting that they chose to respond to the US allegations at all. I also like their colorful language and how they criticize the US. I posted the article so people could appreciate the way that DPRK mocks the US.

Every subreddit that has "interesting" in the name is run by feds: Damnthatsinteresting, interestingasfuck, etc. They always have consent manufacturing posts.

There is a mythology that follows computers hackers. People have a tendency to view computer hackers as having real life super powers. People dream that a hacker can save them by erasing their debts or toppling a bad government.

I think Hexbears want to believe that DPRK Hackers are doing vigilante justice because it sounds cool. It's a fun idea. I don't think that users are saying it in a way that is disrespectful.

I think there's probably a mix of truth. It is very likely that the US has slandered DPRK for crimes that they did not commit. There's been dozens of news stories about alleged North Korean Hackers, some of them could be fabricated.

In this particular story, I think it could be real because the US also charged 6 Chinese nationals. When China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs was asked about the charges, the spokesperson said that China opposes the sanctions and will defend the rights of Chinese nationals. My interpretation is that China is not denying that the Chinese nationals worked with DPRK nationals and instead saying they don't respect US sanctions, which is cool.

AFP: The U.S. Justice Department said yesterday that it has taken down a network that allegedly helped North Koreans obtain remote IT work with companies to raise funds for the country’s weapons program. Six Chinese nationals and two Taiwan citizens have been indicted for their involvement. Does the Foreign Ministry have a comment on this?

Mao Ning: China opposes unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law or authorization of the UN Security Council. We will do what is necessary to defend the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of Chinese nationals.

I did not copy/paste the full article. If you click on the link, it says the US is accusing them of stealing $900k of bitcoin and software source code.

The North Koreans also allegedly stole at least $900,000 worth of cryptocurrency from one Georgia-based company with their access, along with employer data and source code, including International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) data, from a California-based defense contractor, the DOJ said.

I believe the context of this DPRK press statement is in response to the article below.

The U.S. Department of Justice and FBI on Monday announced an arrest and indictments targeting North Korea’s so-called “IT worker” program, where North Koreans obtain remote IT-related positions at more than 100 U.S. companies, and use that access to steal money and information from a host of companies around the world.

The North Korean workers used compromised identities of more than 80 U.S. citizens to obtain remote jobs at more than 100 U.S. companies and caused more than $3 million in legal fees, remediation and other costs, according to the DOJ.

The two men, along with four other unnamed U.S. “facilitators,” assisted the North Koreans by procuring and operating laptops used by the overseas workers, created financial accounts to receive money earned by the workers to be sent back to North Korea, and created shell companies to make the workers appear more authentic, according to the DOJ, earning nearly $700,000 from the scheme for themselves.

Federal prosecutors also indicted six Chinese nationals and two Taiwanese nationals for alleged roles in the operation. China would take all necessary measures to safeguard the rights and interests of its citizens, the country's foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told reporters at a regular news briefing on Tuesday.

Spokesperson for DPRK Foreign Ministry Issues Press Statement

Pyongyang, June 19 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea issued the following press statement titled "The aggressive forces who brought a new war to the Middle East will never evade the responsibility for destroying global peace" on June 19:

The illegal act of state-sponsored terrorism by Israel which launched a reckless large-scale military attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran at dawn of June 13 is sparking off strong denunciation and concern of the international community, raising the danger of a new all-out war in the Middle East region.

The daily-escalating Israel's reckless military attack on civilians in wanton violation of international law and the basic principle of the UN Charter is a hideous act of aggression wantonly violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a sovereign state and an unpardonable crime against humanity.

The DPRK expresses serious concern over the Israel's military attack and resolutely denounces it.

The present grave situation witnessed by the world clearly proves that Israel, supported and patronized by the U.S. and the West, is a cancer-like entity for the peace in the Middle East and a chief culprit of destroying global peace and security.

Israel has steadily expanded its territory through four Middle East wars and tens of military invasions in the past. In recent years alone, it has escalated military attacks on the Gaza Strip of Palestine, the West Bank of the Jordan River, Lebanon, Syria and other regional countries step by step, thus massacring tens of thousands of civilians and creating a serious humanitarian crisis.

The international community is strictly watching the U.S. and Western forces fanning up the flames of war, taking issue with the legitimate sovereign right and exercise of the right to self-defence of Iran, the victim, far from condemning Israel for getting frantic with the territorial expansion, pushing the situation in the Middle East to an uncontrollable catastrophic phase.

The Zionists who brought a new war to the Middle East and the behind-the-scene forces who zealously patronize and support them will be held totally responsible for destroying international peace and security. -0-

Liam O’Hanna, who performs under the name Mo Chara, entered Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday morning, a month after he was charged for allegedly waving a flag of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah at a concert in the United Kingdom’s capital last November.

Under British law, it is illegal to display articles promoting banned groups like Hezbollah.

Israeli troops have killed at least 70 Palestinians and wounded hundreds as they sought aid in Gaza on Tuesday, firing at them with tank shells, machine guns and drones. Those casualties are among the 89 Palestinians killed in attacks across the besieged enclave since dawn.

Israeli soldiers fired at the desperate crowds of aid seekers on Tuesday morning as they gathered along the main eastern road in the southern city of Khan Younis. It was the latest in a sustained wave of carnage since the Israel- and United States-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) launched operations to distribute food in the territory three weeks ago.

Reports indicated more than 300 people have been killed and more than 2,000 wounded while trying to collect aid from the GHF since it launched operations in Gaza on May 26.
