"Nolgo issnae." The gist of it is, "Stop lying!" or even the equivalent of our sarcastic "Yeah, Right!" or "Whatever!"

"Ige mwoya byeongsin-a." The literaly translation is "What's this," but in practice, it means, "What the hell is this, you fucking moron?"

"Ssi buri da." "What the fuck are you talking about?"


All are quite rude.

It's rechargeable and has a gloved stick attached to a motor that constantly pats him on the back.
I bet he would pay me bigly for it.

I coined that phrase a quarter century ago to describe Newt Gingrich. The guy for which other Republicans coined the phrase "Tell Newt to shut up".

It still applies to Newt, but that was like once a day. Sometimes twice.

With Trump it's several times an hour.

His lies always go to his weakest points. It's like he is compelled to address them (always wrapped in bullshit), therefore creating in his mind another reality where the original criticism is no longer valid and he is now the hero not getting the credit he deserves. I have never seen a person SOOOOOOO aggrieved in my life!

South Korea to provide coronavirus testing materials to the U.S.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS MARCH 25, 2020 4:31 AM EDT

(SEOUL, South Korea) — South Korea says it plans to provide coronavirus testing materials to the United States in response to President Donald Trump’s request for help.

Jeong Eun-kyeong, director of South Korea’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the country is willing to send chemical reagents used to extract genetic material during COVID-19 tests, but at a level that doesn’t affect its own testing capacity.

She didn’t provide a detailed estimate on the size of supplies that could be shipped to the United States.

The office of South Korean President Moon Jae-in earlier said Trump during a telephone conversation between the leaders asked whether South Korea could send medical equipment and supplies to help the United States cope with its outbreaks.

The truth is Donald is calling South Korea and begging for help because HE f***ed up.
