Words fail me. Never has the "Police Terror" label been more accurate. I can only hope none of the many Pilipino-Americans w/ whom I wage-slaved for many yrs. had (or chose) to return to the Philippines after the Fascist Insect Bank laid all of us off 21 yrs. ago this month.Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte appeared to liken himself to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler on Friday and said he would "be happy" to exterminate three million drug users and peddlers in the country.
His comments triggered shock and anger among Jewish groups in the United States, which could add to pressure on the U.S. government to take a tougher line with the Philippines leader.
Duterte recently insulted President Barack Obama and in a number of remarks he has undermined the previously close relationship between Manila and Washington.
In a rambling speech on his arrival in Davao City after a visit to Vietnam, Duterte told reporters that he had been "portrayed to be a cousin of Hitler" by critics.
Noting that Hitler had murdered millions of Jews, Duterte said, "There are three million drug addicts (in the Philippines). I'd be happy to slaughter them.
"If Germany had Hitler, the Philippines would have ...," he said, pausing and pointing to himself.
"You know my victims. I would like (them) to be all criminals to finish the problem of my country and save the next generation from perdition."
Duterte was voted to power in a May election on the back of a vow to end drugs and corruption in the country of 100 million people. He took office on June 30 and over 3,100 people have been killed since then, mostly alleged drug users and dealers, in police operations and vigilante killings.
Duterte's comments were quickly condemned by Jewish groups.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Digital Terrorism and Hate project, called them "outrageous".
"Duterte owes the victims (of the Holocaust) an apology for his disgusting rhetoric," Cooper said.
The Anti-Defamation League, an international Jewish group based in the United States, said Duterte's comments were "shocking for their tone-deafness".
"The comparison of drug users and dealers to Holocaust victims is inappropriate and deeply offensive," said Todd Gutnick, the group's director of communications. "It is baffling why any leader would want to model himself after such a monster."
United Nations spokesman Stephane Dujarric said on Friday that any use of "the Holocaust and the suffering of the Holocaust in comparison to anything else, frankly, is inappropriate and needs to be rejected."
He said Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon had made clear that the fight against illegal drugs must be done "in accordance with human rights standards, with international law, with a focus on the users and rehabilitation."
While the Obama administration has criticized Duterte over the extra-judicial killings, U.S. officials offered no immediate condemnation of his latest comments and instead stuck to a strategy of stressing long-standing ties with Manila.
"We continue to focus on our broad relationship with the Philippines and will work together in the many areas of mutual interest," a White House official said when asked about Duterte's Hitler comments.
EX-PRESIDENT'S WARNING
Two days before the Philippines election, outgoing President Benigno Aquino had warned that Duterte's rising popularity was akin to that of Hitler in the 1920s and 1930s.
"I hope we learn the lessons of history," Aquino said in widely reported remarks. "We should remember how Hitler came to power."
Duterte has been scathing about criticism of his anti-drugs campaign and has insulted the United Nations and the European Union, as well as Obama, at various times in recent weeks.
On Friday, reacting to critical comments on his war on drugs by U.S. Senators Patrick Leahy and Benjamin Cardin, Duterte said: "Do not pretend to be the moral conscience of the world. Do not be the policeman because you do not have the eligibility to do that in my country."
He also reiterated there will be no annual war games between the Philippines and the United States until the end of his six-year term, placing the longstanding alliance under a cloud of doubt. It also may make Washington's strategy of rebalancing its military focus towards Asia in the face of an increasingly assertive China much more difficult to achieve.
Still, U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter, speaking before the latest remarks from Duterte, said Washington had an "ironclad" alliance with Manila.
A senior U.S. defense official, also speaking earlier, told reporters that the United States had a long enduring relationship with the Philippines regardless of who was president.
Another U.S. defense official pointed to participation by the USS Germantown in an amphibious exercise with the Philippines military on Friday as a sign that military ties remained unaffected by Duterte’s latest comments.
Malcolm Cook, a senior fellow at Singapore's ISEAS Yusof Ishak Institute, said the U.S-Philippines alliance was not necessarily at risk, but Washington could seek to focus on ties elsewhere in the region.
"We are all in some sense becoming, by necessity, desensitized to Duterte's language," he said.
"Diplomatically, the U.S. would say they'll continue to work with him and the alliance is strong. But it's whether they'll continue to strengthen that alliance or not."

Let's outsource today's two-min. hate to an impartial observer, some limebag:
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha! And in conclusion, "Death to America!!"Team USA have only won five of the last 16 Ryder Cups. Four of those five victories have come on home soil. For the Americans to stand a chance of winning, they need their baying mob of imbeciles to caress their egos every step of the way. Like one of those brainless bastards from your childhood, the one that pulled down your shorts during the school’s Christmas assembly (fuck you, Paul Jennings), they only have the courage to keg you if they’re backed up by a giggling group of reprobates. Team Europe needs to shut those groupies up.
They need to silence the pudgy, basement-dwelling irritants, stuffed on cookie dough and pissy beer, pausing between mouthfuls of hotdog so they can scream ‘Baba booey’ until their jelly faces turn red.
They need to stun the angry, unwashed, Make America Great Again swarm, desperately gripping their concealed-carry compensators and belting out a mini-erection inducing ‘mashed potato,’* hoping to impress their cousin.
They need to smash the obnoxious dads, with their shiny teeth, Lego man hair, medicated ex-wives, and resentful children. Squeezed into their cargo shorts and boating shoes, they’ll bellow ‘get in the hole’ whilst high-fiving all the other members of the Dentists’ Big Game Hunt Society.
*We had no idea either. Know Your Meme® sez:
“Mashed Potatoes!” is a catchphrase shouted by spectators during men’s golf tournament games and popularized after videos of people yelling the phrase during Tiger Woods’ teeshot were uploaded onto YouTube. While the puzzling stunt has been observed since as early as during the 2010 PGA tournament,Still don't know that much. Here's some potato filler, like America's baying imbeciles get in their McDonald's milkshakes:
the meaning behind the catchphrase itself remains little known to this day.

Grifting Obnoxiously Party

Another not-surprise from the world of Republican greed & hypocrisyprincipled Ted Cruz conservatism:
It took Ted Cruz four months and three weeks of “careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own conscience” to declare publicly that he would vote for Donald Trump.
He made the decision to profit by selling his supporter list to Trump far faster than that.
Just six weeks after he dropped out – and more than a month before Cruz would dramatically snub the nominee at the Republican National Convention – the senator quietly began renting his vast donor email file to his former rival, pocketing at least tens of thousands of dollars, and more likely hundreds of thousands, that can be used to bankroll the Texan’s own political future.
Trump began paying to solicit some of Cruz’s supporters for campaign cash as early as June 17. “We need you to stand with Mr. Trump before it is too late,” read the initial Trump campaign missive. A second solicitation came the next day. Another came the day after that. All told, in the last three months Trump has emailed at least some segments of Cruz’s donor list more than 30 times.
Indeed, only hours before Cruz pointedly and publicly refused to endorse – “Vote your conscience,” he said in July, as he was booed off the RNC stage and his wife whisked from the crowd for her own safety – the senator had rented his email list to Trump. “We must seize this moment to build on our momentum and Make America First Again,” Eric Trump wrote in an email to Cruz’s list earlier that day.

Indeed, this next astounding bit of paranoiac agitation comes from the mists of time (May of this yr.) although it didn't catch the attention of Mediaite until almost two wks. ago.
File under: Joos (& "elites") stirring up the swarthy immigrants.In a May column for World Net Daily titled “The Radical Left’s Ethnic Cleansing Of America,” Ellis argued that real driving force behind liberal economic policy was a desire to kill off lower class whites.
“Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama want us to believe that the disappearance of American jobs in ‘the new global economy’ is as inevitable as the sun rising in the east. Nothing could be further from the truth,” he argued. “In fact, the radical left planned the liquidation of white, blue-collar working families in order to ‘fundamentally transform’ America.”
Ellis makes it clear in the column he’s talking about the literal, premeditated death of white Americans [emphasis added]:The party cadres set out to build their brave new world and eliminate their class enemies – read: white working people. It is in this context that we understand why Clinton and company push so-called “free trade” deals like NAFTA and Obamatrade, corporatist schemes that move America’s manufacturing assets – and jobs – to Mexico, China and elsewhere. If you believe, as do the leftists, that America has more than it deserves and Americans are racists, the global redistribution of our wealth and the death (literally) of white working people is a desired outcome, a feature not a bug.“Race warriors, displaying group solidarity or guilt, were pleased to see the jobs of white Americans moving to the Third World…” Ellis concluded. “And so, dear readers, that is how the death of American working-class whites was planned by the radical left and carried out with willing executioners at the highest levels of American politics, academia and business.”
The strictly Biblical view:Gee-ziz, someone needs to cut a new version of that well-known Randy Newman tune, replacing the word "short"
w/ the word "white".

Drink Dump For Trump Chump

A glimpse into the future of your shitty nation from a guy who left the house looking to be amused last Friday.
At least in the civilized parts of California the odds are on the side of goodness & decency, by about 1500 to two dozen. I'm planning to be armed & ammo'd by Election Day; shouldn't you be too?An odd thing happened when he got to Donald Trump. He asked if there were any Trump supporters in the house and maybe two dozen people (out of maybe fifteen hundred) indicated they were backing the guy. Jefferies was just sorta praising those people for their courage when a fight broke out in the audience about two rows behind where we were sitting … an actual fight even though only two or three punches were thrown.
Near as I can figure out, what happened was this: A Trump supporter had identified himself as such in response to Jefferies' question. A non-Trump supporter then poured a beverage on the Trump supporter, whereupon the Trump supporter whirled and threw a punch at the non-Trump supporter who punched back … and then it got broken up.

"Movement conservatives"? Yes, a few hundred deluded buffoons:One of the difficulties is what you might call the Trump bloc. I'm using this to refer to a silent majority that isn't a majority and is not particularly silent*: whites, generally older, generally less educated, although of course with exemptions for all of those generalizations.
[This group] is a very, very awkward size. It seems to be somewhere between 30 and 40 percent of the electorate, which is big enough that it feels like a majority but small enough that it isn't actually a majority.
That's a very uncomfortable place to be, politically, because smaller groups I think come to appreciate, not immediately but eventually, that they have to compromise and form coalitions. Larger groups can just win.
But this group doesn't seem small enough to compromise or big enough to win. That makes people very angry. I think some of that anger is reflected not just in Trump's campaign but in the sort of rhetoric you see around the rallies. And everyone has seen footage of people who are just hopping mad in a way that I suspect is alien not just to the journalists who cover them but also to movement conservatives who have claimed to speak for them in the past.
Nope, just full-on jerks who are "hopping mad" about anyone not just like they are.I think the great message of Trump is that there really are not that many movement conservatives.
There is an infrastructure of journalists, intellectuals who are vested in a conventional combination of limited government, a relatively hawkish foreign policy, and a sort of religiously inflected public morality. There are a few hundred such people, and they all know each other. But it turned out that there aren't that many voters who actually care about these things — or at least cared about them in quite that combination.

Please vote for Mr. Trump, so he may get his revenge, & finally be respected when he's "the most powerful man in the universe". Really?In a clip previewing an upcoming special from PBS Frontline, published online Thursday, Omarosa Manigault spoke about the abject humiliation Trump felt after Obama did an extended bit about the real estate mogul at the 2011 White House Correspondents Dinner.
“Every critic, every detractor, will have to bow down to president Trump,” Manigault said. “It’s everyone who’s ever doubted Donald, who ever disagreed, who ever challenged him. It is the ultimate revenge to become the most powerful man in the universe.”
These people are psychologically disturbed, to put it mildly. Sad! indeed when a 70-yr. old person has all the symptoms of a childhood mental disorder, & has shown indications of it for most of those 70 yrs.
Didn't even try to diagnose Ms. Manigault, because her problem is rather obvious: She loves money more than she likes herself. Probably won't get paid, however, which means her real problem is that she's a sucker & a moron.

Tuesday Musical 'Phone It In

(It is Tuesday, innit?)Anyway, here's what is known as a "hot take".
Courtesy Balloon Juice, who are not kulturny enough to throw in the obvious musical accompaniment.
Here, the obligatory projection, Clinton as Trump, spiced w/ paranoid delusion (even got the gender right):“Any park ranger will tell you: don’t feed wildlife. The reason behind this is that they become dependent and will not forage for themselves any longer. A disturbing trend is affecting American wildlife. Animals that formerly were self-sufficient are now showing signs of belonging to the Democratic Party. They have apparently learned to just sit and wait for the government to step in and provide for their care and sustenance.” (The Unpopular Truth, March 14, 2012)
Isn’t this what Hillary and the Democratic Party are doing — continuing to make more and more people dependent by continuing to “feed them?”
Is "those with no idea who they are" some racial deal? Does she mean "White" people denied their heritage by liberal academics, female school teachers & chemtrails or whatever?I feel like I am in a science fiction movie where the masses (Democrats and those with no idea who they are) have been hypnotized and blindly march along, having all of their needs met by a mega-monster leader . . . until he unleashes them on some horrific task.
Folks, this is the most important election of our time — we must stop the pathway the Democrats/Socialists are leading us down.
Our grandchildren don’t stand a chance! Will working for a living become obsolete? Will the rest of us who have worked hard for our whole lives find our ability to hang onto what we have impossible?
Will we lose our basic freedoms like the Second Amendment, freedom of religion and freedom of speech?
So please don’t feed the animals. America deserves better. We all deserve better!

Why Does Michael (Savage) Weiner Hate America So?

Few of us live in a more fantastic world than the planet of pants-pissing poltroons inhabited by former health & nutrition huckster Michael Savage (né Weiner) & his little dog Toto.
Yet the silly Savage has somehow ridden the tornado into a further fatuous fantasy; that Donald J(erkoff). Trump, once elected, should appoint Savage the Czar of Rooting Out The Subversives. That is, anyone to the proverbial left of Attila the Hun. Here's another big damn surprise ("Surprise" defined as "Where & for how damn long have we heard this shit before? Gee-ziz, stop it already!!"): He has, in his hand, a list, to which we can listen.How can one top that? The best this reporter can offer is another reminder to arm your wimpy liberal asses (Don't forget plenty of ammo!) now & beat the post-election rush. You'll be glad you did when you're still breathing after the mouth-breathers have come for you!
Bet he hates himself even more than America. |

This wanna-be terrorist thug is the sitting, elected Governor of the State of Kentucky, which deserves a splintered broomstick shoved up its collective ass.Gov. Bevin, you & your cowardly & deplorable kind are the very tyrants whose blood will water the tree of liberty & purify the nation. (Like this.)
And that, you frightened creeps, is a promise, not the empty threat you made. BANG!
