Duterte to US: Do not treat PHL like a doormat


Maybe he's reading this thread guys :shobon:

'You do not go around reprimanding a head of state', says man repeatedly and aggressively reprimanding a head of (a much larger, more powerful) state.

Truly, his aura of Protection from Weather, 150 Mile Radius is the real reason to elect him President.

The death penalty is such a loving terrible idea in the Philippines because there's no jury and judges are also so loving corrupt and get bribed all the loving time.

I do not believe he considers this a negative.

It's weird how both Duterte and Trump do this thing where they'll invent specific dialogue when describing the things their opponents say/think about them. Like, instead of Duterte saying "They say I'm a bad person", he'll say "They say to me 'Duterte, you're a bad person.'" It's a strange habit.

It's an oratory thing. You never say things like 'I'm a bad person' because people may remember it, even subconciously, or quote you out of context (though with Trump and Duterte, quoting them normally works just fine). You instead say, 'you're a bad person', even when talking about yourself, to avoid it.

You never want it to cross the listener's mind that hey, maybe he is a bad person. So you make someone the listeners already don't like or trust 'say' it.

Try Canada

We're terrified Trump will bomb our economy with his protectionist policies. (So is Mexico; the peso went down 13% last night, though I believe it's back 'up' to only a 9% decrease.)

Also, the Immigration Canada website crashed repeatedly last night from too much traffic so it might take a while.

Does this mean he's a drug abuser and should, by his own metrics, shoot himself now?
