I am the first one to put something in here this week?? Really?? After the scandals in the U.S. and South Korea this week, no one has anything to say??

Okay then, I will be the first. I hope Hillary is indicted, prosecuted, and jailed for what she did and I hope the same happens to President Park.

There, I said it. Any comments?

650,000 emails… they’ll find something… and probably all of the stuff HRC&Co erased…

The President can not pardon her(him)-self of crimes. The Constitution provides for impeachment to deal with that. Looking back at the wording in Article II, it says “high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” So the alleged crime doesn’t even have to be that serious to raise the possibility for impeachment.

Hillary can get elected. resign. Then the VP Kaine can take over, pardon her like Ford did Nixon, then the Dems can have a celebration. No Banana Republic here!

– I think it will be more like “high crimes” than misdemeanors. Remember they did find classified information on her server up to and including TOP SECRET. That in and of itself is enough to prosecute her. The only thing that is keeping her out of jail now is the political machine in Washington and the Democratic party. Comey’s comment that there was no “intent” found in her actions is total BS. She “intentionally” set up the servers, she “intentionally” stored information on them containing classified information, and she “intentionally” hid it from everyone. How much more “intent” do you need?

@Ole Tanker – Great! The democratic party can revel in the fact that they are just as corrupt as the Nixon administration. What a plus for them! Hehehehe.

– Comey has embarrassed AG Lynch with this announcement and put her on the defensive. The Justice Dept. will likely evade and delay issuing the search warrant that the FBI needs to look at Huma’s emails until after November 8th. When Comey made the initial announcement back in July, I could feel the contempt he had for Lynch in that he was probably ordered to drop the case against Hillary citing a lack of “intent” which as we all know is total BS. I see this latest announcement as a way for Comey to get back at Lynch. Just my opinion though. Hehehe.

Are “Our Guys” creeping around North Korea, messing up the Musudan missiles? Or is it just a bad design? Fatty Kim wants to know!
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/north-koreas-kim-jong-un-orders-probe-into-two-recent-missile-launch-failures-1588885

North Korea’s supreme leader Kim Jong-un has ordered a full-blown investigation into the recent missile launch failures, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency reported, citing a North Korean defectors’ group. The test firing of two intermediate-range ballistic missiles, or Musudan, ended in failure about two weeks ago.

The investigation will reportedly include all those who were involved in the making of the missiles amid suspicion of a sabotage by the US and South Korea.

Of course, if you know the answer to my semi-retorical question, don’t post the answer. You’re NOT Hillary. You WILL get into trouble.

So, all the celebs are threatening to move to Canada if Trump gets elected, because everything is better in America’s Hat?
Maybe so, maybe no:
http://m.koreatimes.co.kr/phone/news/view.jsp?req_newsidx=217318

Unfortunately I can’t read all of the article from work, but I did see part of it earlier. The cops dragged the old man down the stairs with a thump, thump, thump each step. Not sure what the couple did to end up getting the rough handling, but there was something about a strata vote?

Of course, an 80 year old Korean male probably served in the Korean war, and is about as hard of a nut to crack as there is.

Hi all,

Haven’t posted in a while. Just wanted to see how everyone is holding up with all the election tension and pretty much in general.

No matter what happens, I wish all of you and your families the best of luck and that you will be better off in every measure 4 years from today.

WTF, johnnyboy?

Are you killing yourself soon or did you find Jesus?

But since you asked, this has been the most amazing election ever.

Especially in the last few days, I have been glued to the internet… as there are hourly changes in the situation… most indicating a Hillary implosion.

She got too greedy and too sloppy.

…but she has the dirt on a lot of people.

I would not ride an airplane with Hillary and Huma right now.

I too, have been following any and all updates hoping for the final nail in the witch’s coffin.

CH, have you had the chance to read the 4chan thread with the self proclaimed FBI anon from July? Could be bullshiit, but it has turned out to be strangely prescient.

Johnnyboy, I have stayed away from the shady information… too easy to take some bait due to wishful thinking.

Hillary is dirty enough through confirmed information.

It seems the Clintons got a little too greedy and a little too sloppy. They likely have dirt on everyone so they have been getting by with it.

But now their sloppiness risks bringing everyone down.

Not many solutions available for the ruling elite that don’t reek of desperation.

I wouldn’t ride an airplane with Hillary, Huma, and Bill any time soon.

Likely they know this and will stay far away from each other.

The Chinese acting badly at Jeju-do Airport:

Holy Cow! What a mess!
Seriously, do they act like that at home?

Yes – they do act like that. Especially with trash in their cars. The sense of urgency a Chinese driver feels about getting rid of leftover trash from a fast food restaurant sitting on the seat next him is about the same as when there is a wasp buzzing around inside the car. It’s “Get it out of here NOW!!” And out the window it goes.

And no amount of explaining that it’s mostly just paper that you can easily toss in a garbage can when you get to your destination will help.

I fear for Trump if he wins. If he actually attempts to enact changes he has proposed, almost everyone in DC will have motive for his demise.

They will have a hard time simply blocking him in Congress, as he will have a huge bully pulpit and could conceivably get people voted out who oppose him. The monster vote looks like it is turning out to be true. I am betting he will be negotiating from a position of power, not as a president with his hands tied.

American Soldiers Overusing Electricity: Data
http://koreabizwire.com/american-soldiers-overusing-electricity-data/68709

More hanky-panky regarding that overdue bill, highlights include:
*Koreans once again boo-hoo’ing about a contract they agreed to.
*Data displayed in a broad vague manner to push an alternate agenda.
*Trump’s fool comments being used as fodder against the US.
*The number 28,500 making its trademark appearance in a USFK article.

Hanjin loses monopoly over oil supply to USFK
http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20160801000820

Old story that appeared to fly under the Drop’s radar (I think) but giving the recent collapse of Hanjin I wonder how much this loss of the USFK contract added to it? :hmm:

And why is this “hmm” guy smiling? -> :hmm:
Little smug if you ask me.
