They should stop watching CNN International. The only real view of what’s going on in the US for people abroad is the media... CNN being one of the worst offenders.

How ironic, my wife and I were seriously thinking of moving to South Korea if Hillary won.

And here’s the other thing, Korea is MUCH more conservative socially and politically than the U.S. And much more pro-business and economic development. In some ways it reminds me of how the U.S. was in the Eighties under Reagan.

Unfortunately, they have a crazy cousin a few miles north of Seoul that could end everything tomorrow.

“It’s all about meeeeeeee.”

Exactly. These people strike me as being in the 90th percentile of the most self-centered, unempathic, self-righteous, and closed-minded of all people in the country. They make me sick, literally.

Unfortunately, they play CNN everywhere in Korea, including in the hotel elevators believe it or not.

Another one who wants higher taxes, more government in their lives, and wants to be raped and killed by foreigners.

Hard to believe she hasn’t moved to her paradise in North Korea.

Long Island, no longer felt the pull toward home that she had just 24 hours earlier


Wow. A whole 24 hours can do that huh? Then it probably wasn’t really “home” to begin with.

I love how often the libs use the terms “quiet’ and “quietly” in their stories and fibs. My experience with liberals is they are anything but.

The cognitive dissonance, especially when measured against the last eight years is amazing. They can’t see a single mistake that Ødungo committed but can’t believe that Trump is capable of doing anything right. As far as they’re concerned we’ve been living in nirvana for the past eight years.

“I want to have kids,” she says, “and I don’t want them to go through the school system” in Korea, where the typical education is high-pressure and brutally competitive.

Well, of course America is a better option, where we promote the ignorant and graduate the illiterate lest they and their parents feel bad.

This is an 'editor of educational materials' ducking rigorous academics?!?

Obama’s America never felt like home to me. Quite the contrary.

If all of these people would leave and stay gone, we would be infinitely better off.

Living overseas is an adventure. There are very few countries that will afford Americans the level of personal freedom, acceptance as a citizen, and scope of opportunity to which we have become accustomed as citizens. Typically, there is a romance involved. As long as marriage, health, and money holds lasts, expatriate works as an option.

You mean they don't get participation trophies? Oh, the humanity!

The all b meme ‘is this who’ve are....this is not who we are’, is getting really tiresome. Who appointed Libs the arbiter of what is or isn’t American?? They really think they are ‘all that’. Just because they have the complete support of the Pravda Media they believe all their hype. Libs have NO IDEA who real Americans are. They have hated this country for a long time. Trump has stopped their remaking America in the image of Marx. PTL!
