And found guilty of rape
Allegedly
and also paying off a porn actress.
That won’t happen now
Please try to keep up. Trump wasn’t “allegedly” found guilty. He was actually found guilty and paid a substantial settlement.
And i’m not sure what you mean by paying off a porn star won’t happen again. Is this what you think because of Trump’s age and physical condition?

Bass,
Yes, she is nationally a foreign born nationalized Japanese, but racially and ethnically she is not.
It’s true her ancestors were not so ethnic origin is not Japanese, just as you are not ethnically American. However, “Japanese” is not a race, it’s only an ethnicity, primarily Yamato. In that regard I think you would have to agree that she is as much “Japanese” as you are “American”.
It changing slowly, but at least Japan is changing.

Sorry, but both side aren’t “as bad as each other”. Only one of the sides launched an imperialistic invasion of a sovereign nation in an attempt to steal territory! Ukraine is just defending its country m, as any of us would do if someone invaded our home!

…Russia had mined the cooling system of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant
without any regard for civilian lives, now and in the future, it looks like Russia has blown two dams already in order to slow Ukraine’s offensive.
It also seems that Putin may be thinking that when it nears the end and Russia’s total defeat he will blow the nuclear plant before he resorts to using nuclear weapons. When the plant trick doesn’t work his last resort will be going nuclear.
Ukraine needs to be given all the help the need to crush this as soon as possible and send the Russians home yo obscurity!

I’m not sure why you think it’s with “entitlement”? What I really see with this repeated talking point is the concern of the pro-Putin pro-invasion group that Ukraine is getting help and is defending itself against Purim’s unsuccessful land-grabbing invasion!
As soon Russia pulls its forces out and admits defeat all the killing will end. Putin really guessed wrong on this one and it will lead to his demise. Sooner rather than later I hope!

The law is simple:

2: You can't marry a person who is the same gender as you.
3: You can't marry a close blood relative.
The law applies equally to everybody.
As simple as is. dont need say a word more.
Simple…
but wrong, out of step, and most likely unconstitutional.

it will be Joseon, Hanguk, AND Nihon
I know you get excited about using old names used in Korean but not recognized internationally, but using the correctly would be nice. Neither Joseon nor Hanguk refers to a country that exists today.
The North Koreans sometimes refer to a unified Korea as Joseon, the South Koreans refer to a unified Korea as Hangul, of course Nihon (although often Nippon) refers to the current Japan.

Korea is no where near the smallest nor the poorest country in Asia. Not even close, it doesn’t even make the list any longer.

@Bronco
So 50 countries openly refused to condemn Russia actions, thus snubbing NATO.
I know it’s hard for the Kremlin to try to put a positive spin, or try to discount it’s importance, of this but yours was really a pathetic attempt.
Four countries joined Russia, Syria, Nicaragua, North Korea and Belarus.
The other 35 just cowardly buried their heads in the sand.
Fortunately the vast majority of the world stood up against Russia’s imperialism, and you can be sure the others that weren’t strong enough to show Russia support won’t go out of their way to help Russia from now either.
It’s very telling when your only friends in the world, even if they’re really only pretend friends, are Syria, Nicaragua, North Korea and Belarus!

Being a woman anywhere is fraught with danger, but in Japan, never be alone and avoid crowded public transport.
I agree there are dangers everywhere and more needs to be done, but your comment is also a huge exaggeration. For example, to put things into perspective, the US has an average of over 1,200 reported major sexual assaults per day. Most don’t even make the local news and certainly never the national news.

Why black and white? Prevent? Like in zero cases? Bronco, perhaps you could give us an update on what the infection, hospitalization, and death ratios would be if no one were vaccinated? Without that you can’t say the vaccines are effective, but I know that goes against your narrative so I doubt we’ll hear from you on this!

Err, no. Obviously, you have not been reading the Global Times. They totally hated Trump because he acted against CCP interest. The did not gloat about his weakness, because there was none to gloat about. And they were very friendly towards Obama, because he was pro China.
Obviously you have no idea what I read! But, just for fun, can you guess where this paragraph talking about Trump is from? If you guessed GT you win!
“Trump, who was mockingly called by Chinese netizens an "American comedian" with his Chinese nicknames "Chuan Jianguo" (meaning "Trump builds China" in Chinese) and "Dong Wang" (meaning a man self-claimed as a king who "knows everything"), was the hottest public figure on Weibo in 2020 for having the most hot topics on the trending list.”

Harris can "accuse" the CCP in some speech in Singapore, but the fact is that if you read the CCP mouthpiece "Global Times", you will see that the CCP is in fact gloating about the weakness and incompetence of the Biden administration.
