No Pardons Expected for Ex-Korean Presidents Park and Lee

It looks like ex-Presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye will continue to rot in jail for at least another year:

President Moon Jae-in is unlikely to grant Christmas pardons to his predecessors Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak, a Blue House source told the JoongAng Ilbo Monday.    
   
“There will be no pardon for politicians, including former presidents,” the source, a high-ranking Blue House official, told the JoongAng Ilbo on condition of anonymity.    
   
The official cited public opinion, which is against pardons for former presidents.  
   
The source added that the idea is unpopular not only with the general public and the ruling Democratic Party, which was the opposition during the administrations of former presidents Lee and Park – both jailed for corruption – but even with the main opposition People Power Party (PPP), which worries that a pardon for either could be deadly for its chances in the March presidential election.

Political prisoner, imprisoned on false charges and held after a commie show trial.

Flyingsword and ROKDrop,

They will rot in jail for at least 6 more years, if and when Lee Jae Myung gets elected president. So don’t get your hopes up that your corrupt right-wing men will be freed to suck on America’s penis again.

President Park is a man? Who knew?

Quite frankly, aside from your irrational prose displaying your self-hatred (or at least contempt for South Korea), homoerotic insults are a sign of latent homosexual desires.

And I don’t know why you would concentrate on America having a male organ, as traditionally America is represented as either the (female) Spirit of Columbia (q.v.) or a generic bald eagle.

As we approach Christmas, most people are thinking more about “Peace on Earth” and “Good Will Toward Others”. Instead, you lash out at people you’ve never met. People who actually like the country you claim to be from.

You really need to get rid of that poison before you harm yourself.

You should seek professional psychological counseling as quickly as possible.

Shouldn’t you also be seeking professional help too? Especially for Dissociative identity disorder (DID).

“So don’t get your hopes up that your corrupt right-wing men will be freed to suck on America’s penis again.”

Wait… where do I sign up for a right-winger to suck my penìs? Getting a lefty to do it is easy… just ask. They are mostly trannies and faggots and wannabes demonstrating how tolerant and woke they are.

But the righties hide that deep in the closet. Getting one to give me a good sucking would be quite the power trip.

And these days, I can’t even finish unless the taker is crying in shame.

So give me the details and I will keep my little Uncle Sam standing at attention.

Apple and Tim Cooke make a $275 billion secret deal with the Chinese government to help develop China’s technology in return for $$.

At a time when South Korean companies are investing billions in the US. They do far more to provide more jobs per capita for Americans than the American companies. Ironic.

If I were the American right-wing, I would worry more about their own corrupt traitors who are selling out their own country to pocket private wealth, rather than focus on former South Koreans who were convicted corrupt felons.
