Although I think nobody should be stunned at this point by Trump's outrageous behavior. Trump obviously loves crazy dictators and wishes he was one himself."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

Duterte is the leader who's having police go out and shoot on site anybody suspected of using drugs without a trial."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Duterte's pretty cool (and also not a dictator). Progressives think anyone who is effective at preventing them from destroying their societies is a "dictator"."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

Originally posted by Tassman View PostDuterte is a murderous thug with an abysmal human rights record. There's no good reason why Trump should turn a blind eye to his behaviour by inviting him tho the White House.
Caring about "human rights" is just a pretend excuse they sometimes trot out when a country annoys the ultra-rich in the US and they order their corrupt politicians to order their military to remove the problem."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

South Korea, Japan, Australia.That's what
