And you thought American politics were crazy?

Check out Trump's Filipino counterpart:

"All of you who are into drugs, you sons of bitches, I will really kill you," Duterte told a huge, cheering crowd Saturday in his final campaign rally in Manila. "I have no patience, I have no middle ground, either you kill me or I will kill you idiots." Statements such as those have won him the nickname "Duterte Harry," a reference to the Clint Eastwood movie character "Dirty Harry" who had little regard for rules.

Duterte, a 71-year-old former prosecutor, has peppered his campaign speeches with boasts about his Viagra-fueled sexual prowess and jokes about rape. But he also successfully tapped into the discontent, and many voters overlooked his unashamedly crude language.

Politics attracting nut bars at an alarming rate.

Duterte is a piece of work, couple of mistresses, and his comments on the rape of an Australian hostage were unbelievable. My coworker is Philipino, and he has told me that the politics there is so corrupt (Imelda and Ferdinand Markos, etc.) that the people are damned either way who they vote for. He is best choice of a corrupt lot.

Philippine corruption is all enabled by the USA.

Those big US Military bases there generate big funding.

Duterte, making good on his campaign promise:

Over 1,900 Killed in 'Chilling' War on Drugs by Philippines' Duterte

Duterte, nicknamed "the Punisher", was voted to power promising to wipe out drugs and warning traffickers they risked death if they did not mend their ways.

Duterte has warned legislators not to interfere with his campaign, saying they could be killed if they blocked efforts aimed at improving the country.

Nearly 700,000 drug users and drug peddlers have turned themselves in to escape the crackdown, police chief dela Rosa said.

Hopefully, he kills those maggots that cut the heads off those Canadians that were in the Philippines. http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/13/asia/p...da-abu-sayyaf/

Looks like this Filipino PM does not like Illegal Drugs and is utilizing his elected mandate to initiate a purge.
