Absolutely horrific. My girlfriend is from the Philippines. They continue to put the wrong people in office. The people have been so disenfranchised that they don't vote in their best interest. They can't imagine another way of life. They're resigned. Messed up.
Always worth remembering that Duterte, who created a brutal drug war that will have a lasting impact on the families targeted or caught in the crossfire, which has trained law enforcement with an ethos of unaccounted, extrajudicial violence, has himself been a fentanyl addict since about 2014.
Bets Trump will spring him? Great guy to stop the fentanyl. Too bad if more innocents get killed. The chances are 50:50 they were Dems anyway!
There is a silver lining to this USA rabies pandemic - we of the West will try to help nurse you Yanks back to health after the fever breaks ;-)
Thats a 3 of 10 on the troll scale, laddie. You got 5 for getting a response, I grant you that.
But you INSTANTLY lose two by doing the whole "nyahaHA! I got you to respond, as was my master gambit" thing.
What will the feverishly anti-ICC White House say about this?
We legitimately don't know if Trump will side with the rule of law, accountability, and victims or with the guy who's facing charges of crimes against humanity over the extra-judicial killings of thousands of people in the Philippines.
There is a reason why Trump/GOP have terminated any judicial or administrative review of our Government & taken control of our Justice System. AND a reason why they terminated all ties to any international court that monitor egregious crimes. Trump knows he is guilty! He doesn't answer to anyone!

How long before the spray tan pantload extorts his release and has him shacked up with the rapists Tate in Miami?

Apply yourself.
