When People Complain About Donald Trump’s Appeals To Base Nature…

By Mitch Berg

…they really need to get some perspective.

The Philippine president-elect has encouraged the public to help him in his war against crime, urging citizens with guns to shoot and kill drug dealers who resist arrest and fight back in their neighborhoods.

In a nationally televised speech late Saturday, Rodrigo Duterte told a huge crowd in the southern city of Davao that Filipinos who help him battle crime will be rewarded.

“Please feel free to call us, the police, or do it yourself if you have the gun — you have my support,” Duterte said, warning of an extensive illegal drug trade that involves even the country’s police.

If a drug dealer resists arrest or refuses to be brought to a police station and threatens a citizen with a gun or a knife, “you can kill him,” Duterte said. “Shoot him and I’ll give you a medal.”

That’s more than a wall.

    The Guardian considers itself a serious newspaper. I know, it’s the books section, but still . . .

    The Daily Fail? I don’t see it linked much here. Maybe at “Dim” Jim Hoft’s Blog?

    If there has ever been a better time to make your horse a Senator, I’m at a loss to cite it.

    Please provide examples. More than a couple since word “often” implies it is a regular occurrence and as such you should have no problems with finding many links.

    Emery before you get all pissy about the DailyMail remember it was the National Inquirer that broke the Monica story.

  8. Emery Says:

    Kel; “before you get all pissy” the National Enquirer also broke the story linking Rafael Cruz to the Kennedy assassination. ;^)

  9. Troy Says:

    Funny: Emery thinks he doesn’t “get all pissy”.
