We haven’t had a president in Korea for two months since December 3rd, essentially. He’s just been away and detained, and we’re doing quite well. The country has not fallen apart. And no one really likes the other person that is first in line to replace him either, so we're not in a hurry.

I’m so tired of them. I’m tired of their lies. I’m tired of their disgusting amorality. I’m tired of their faces, their voices, their smirks. I’m tired of their inability to say — let alone do — even one thing remotely kind or humble or appropriate, ever. So tired.
