Is it Yoon’s combative approach ‘galvanizing the conservative base’ or Lee Jae-myung’s corruption? Wasn’t Lee convicted last November?

I referred to you as a sock puppet because your posts are the same hateful bigotry as Amy Mek's (look it up). Not disparaging, wear it like a badge of (dis)honor. Look, even ultra-con Abbott disavowed the story. Time to move on, that dog ain't hunting.

I think we found an Amy Mek sock puppet account. Ugh.

Amy Mek has been spewing hateful lies for years anonymously until she was outed by Luke O’Brien. This latest lie already debunked. texasscorecard.com/state/abbott...

Ugh, Amy Mek has a long history spewing lies and racist rage bait posts.

Trump and his allies telegraphed all of this before he won. He promised retribution, tumult, autocracy. He isn't doing what he's doing because he thinks it's what voters want. He's doing it because he's trying to upend the government.

And the opposition has this convicted criminal as front runner for President. Korea is as politically broken as the US. koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2025-02...

The US is, at best, unreliable. Japan and South Korea should evict USFJ and USFK and ensure their own defense capabilities are adequate. Esp in South Korea, where Operational Control is still under the US military.

Doesn't seem to be any good choices going forward? So Lee wins the early election, the economy continues its struggles, and then the pendulum swings hard right back to PPP. Sounds like another country I know.
This definitely is not a repeat of 2015-2016.

Well informed respondents.

And yet, the PPP enjoys significant support. Why is that?

Daiso A and B and/or C. "Daiso, the store that has everything you didn't know you needed." They have two stores in San Antonio, now I have a craving to go.

Are they charging extra for the additional inclement weather training? (Sorry, Bad joke from when I took motorcycle lessons in pouring rain, with no extra charge for wet weather ride class…)

Hi! I’m a paid subscriber and the link they provided to me was what I posted. Not sure why the extension was the same. 🤷♂️

Try this link. The article is long and details the forced family seperations and tragic conditions. wapo.st/3DnIr9q

That’s actually not a meaningful question regarding these tragic deaths, have you read the article? I can provide a guest link if you’re not a subscriber.

I did a quick search to see if there are past cases of USFK caught w/ammo at ICN, this was completely unexpected: koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2024-09...

Might be not-too cold, but those breaks in the arctic temps usually come with bad air days. 😷 Good luck!

I really miss Songdo, the parks and walk-ability were phenomenal. The cats enjoyed it too.

Politics aside, leaving X because the experience degraded for a competitor offering a better product is the free market at work. That’s what’s happening now.
