I don't know why the papers have to sensationalize that as him planting evidence when what he actually said is just as terrible. Duterte a few days ago: "I only killed them because they put up a fight" Duterte today: "Let's give the suspects guns so that they put up a fight"

The financial intelligence structure in the country is like one of the only things that puts teeth on the ability of foreign banks to see stuff like card fraud and ID theft get prosecuted, and they're one of the big onramps for fighting child abuse rings in places like Cebu. Your president is a criminal who is committing crimes and making it easier to commit crimes, while putting a tough-on-crime face on for the public. Here's to hoping y'all figure out where his supporters are and solve that problem.

Does anyone know if Duterte has a family history of dementia? This is a pretty impressive level of unhinged, undirected ranting. I went to look into his family history, saw that his daughter apparently succeeded him as mayor of Davao City, and then found this bit: "On 18 April 2016, in connection with the rape remark made by her father Rodrigo on one of his presidential candidacy campaigns, Sara Duterte took to her Instagram account to admit that she was once a rape victim. However, Rodrigo Duterte dismissed his daughter's admission and referred to her as a "drama queen"." There's really no bottom with this guy is there?

There was a twitter thread/essay I read shortly after Steve Bannon was appointed to the White House about how quickly anti-Semitism moves and that America would have only about six months before full fascism sets in. In seven days, Rodrigo Duterte will have been in office for six months exactly.

Oh come on how unhinged do you think the leader of a nation ca-quote:In early September 2015, an infamous incident was reported of a tourist being forced to swallow his own cigarette butt in a local bar in Davao City after the tourist refused to comply with the public anti-smoking ordinance of the city. Duterte was personally contacted by the bar owner and went into the bar and forced the tourist to swallow his cigarette butt.

On Christmas day, police in Minglanilia, Cebu rounded up 80 people at a cockfight. They took their money and made them all sign affidavits that they were drug surrenderers. The officers in question later each received a bonus as part of 1.6m given as "cash rewards to policemen performing well in anti-drug operations" Just another day of abuse of power in the Philippines, except the bad news for the cops was one of the people rounded up was the son of the Caraga Mines and Geosciences Bureau Regional Director. He protested to the Deputy Regional Director for Operations. A meeting was held, and the affidavits were ripped up. The complainants agreed not to press charges, for as long as the police erase their names from a file of surrenderers’ names. The head cop in question will now face an internal investigation. http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/local-news/2016/12/30/central-visayas-police-director-relieves-minglanilla-chief-517534 http://www.sunstar.com.ph/cebu/local-news/2016/12/29/132-cops-rewarded-p16m-517328

I don't know, what do you mean it's an opioid just like heroin!? Yes, but it isn't heroin and my doctor gave it to me so how can it be evil like heroin?

I really expected more Philippines politicians and people in authority to have been more vocal against him by now. Is it just because he has a super-majority he actually has very little opposition, or is it just the case of politicians keeping their heads down till public opinion definitely turns? Every time he does something more damaging I think "oh well, that must be the tipping point", but no-one actually does anything. - Giving all his donors positions and contracts in the government. - Admitting he took money from Marcoses for political favors - the burial - money that's been undeclared. - Constant, obvious lying to the public and flip-flopping (e.g. I took Fentanyl, it was abuse. I never abused Fentanyl. Kill all druggies! I took so much Fentanyl I touched heaven. It was a joke! etc..) - The unwarranted destruction of the good U.S partnership and disregard of the importance of BPOs. - The complete loss of the SCS, when at the beginning of his term it was such a strong position with international support. - The tanking economy - He took over a strong, growing economy and the last time I checked the stock exchange was down 17% from August, which equates to over 22% loss coz the peso also dropped in value. - The lovely budget changes - halving the disaster relief fund while increasing the President's office budget by 10 times. - Untold damage to the tourism industry. - Borrowing big for rushed infrastructure projects already heavily tainted with corruption. - "Go and kill drug addicts/people who are "drug coddlers" for not supporting me, I'll protect you. Even if its not the truth, I will support you." Rant over I guess, 2017 here we come.

There are very few voicing dissent or calling for investigations into glaring irregularities. Either they agree with what is going on, are covering their political careers by doing nothing, are too cowardly to do anything, or are waiting for public opinion to change.
