South Korean Parliament Defies President, Lifts Declaration of Emergency Martial Law

In a move that harkened back to the country's decades-gone authoritarian rule, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law targeting his political opponents but was rebuked when hours later lawmakers voted to end the declaration.

Only last week Biden was cozying up to this guy.

Anything Biden touches either turns to ---- or is ---- to begin with.

Chicken lickin's lickin' Chicken.

Dude wanted the Juice to "protect his Nation".

Coming Soon to a Country near you.

Trump sees opportunity where others see "Danger".

If he Nukes Palestine he will declare martial law here.

I would not be surprised by almost anything at this point.

Biden giving the guy 10 minutes of his time in an unrelated meeting in an unrelated country and agreeing to keep relations cordial is "cozying up" now?

Man, you guys are desperate.

Hey, Koreans! Top this:

Come Inauguration Day, when King Dotard II invokes the Insurrection Act and calls out the US Military from the podium for his swearing in speech, dozens of GOPers will cheer as they are lead away in chains. Of course, any former Dem presidents will be dragged to the gallows under the stage. W will be spared because of his diminished mental capacity, but Darth Cheney will be among the first 4-5 hung that day. Woke military leaders will be garroted, as will the the liberal members of SCOTUS.

It could happen here...

Republicans would support Trump doing this.

We aren't South Korea.
