or for the 1000's of top level corrupts who might risk big if Duerte keeps his promises..
which he did locally: I saw an interesting report on him;
=> cleaning up his town, with a few casualties, offending the do-goods who always prefer to count the executed thugs but forgot the murdered, raped and victims of the same thugs when they are left rampaging...
These victims should be happy that they died within a civilised society as opposed to alive in such a demoniac nightmare...Ok I am a bit provocative but...

So do people actually have to prove that the guy they shoot is a drug dealer ?
You may be a drug dealer yourself and your neighbor finds out so you shoot him and plant some drugs on the body.
Bngo, you're a hero !

Just a nightmare. Unfettered vigilante behaviour, no need for police, courts, evidence, appeals. Just a rush of blood or a creative way to get rid of someone you don't like and you get a medal from El Presidente. Truly madness.

I wonder how the tourist industry will take to having lot's of random shootups ? What happen when the first foreign tourists get shot up because they get in between dealers, or use a bit or whatever ? This guy is such a loose cannon.

God the media are stupid.
Melania Trump copied many key phrases from Michelle Obama's speech.
Media's response? "Oh ... look! How could she think she'd get away with that!" Then they play a series of videos clips switching back and forth between the two speaking the same words.
Result? Melania's image is now associated with the position of first lady. Very clever tactics by someone behind the scenes.
And everyone at home watches the news... and they watch this story very closely because they're told someone copied someone else. So the audiences' attention is primed. Attention/re-association. Job done. Now millions will start thinking "hmm, Melania as first lady... doesn't seem so unusual! I like it!"... and they won't have a clue why.

It's what you do when you want to keep attention away from the vile, racist, warmongering speeches and platform that also goes on full display during the day.
This America is like a Titanic seeing icebergs. Full steam ahead.

true, we shouldn't care what Trump's trophy wife said, well, read.
But it highlight the fact that all these politicians are just glorified news anchor reading whatever is put in front of them.
Got to wonder who's really writing the speeches and policies to be rubber stamped by our paid spoke people.
Man, at least when we watch the news or the ads, the corporation paid their actors. Here the plebs paid for everything and get nothing but nice words in return for the trouble.

What a xxxxing insanity ... Donald Trump as Presidential nominee. A surreal Republican Convention with screams for Hilary Clinton to be shot for treason or hung in a tree.
Three Months of abusive, maddening lies masquerading as debate to come. Truly if there is any karma Donald Trump will not be long with us.
Great, dark comic insight on this collective insanity by First Dog on the Moon.

It is scary.
I saw clips of Ted Cruz - a guy who hasn't met any Arab state he doesn't like to carpet bomb - and he's the only guy that sound reasonable. Then he got booeeeddd... for telling people to vote with their conscience.
What's even scarier is that Trump is either tie or winning against Clinton in critical swing states.
And what's also scary is that if Hillary wins, it's not going to be any better than it has been - will probably get worst.

Yes I have seen that Trump is getting more media time. The people in the crowd at his performances amazes me. Taking photos, giving him the thumbs up and cheering a handful of words he utters. Farrkkkk, I have never seen so many yanks in a trance like that.

Careful bas your true colours are showing.
Whatever The Donald is or isn't bas, he is symptomatic of a revulsion and swing away from your brand of politics, same with Brexit, same with the mess in our Senate.
Basically, people have had a gutful of you lot.

Is our "lot" the masses that don't want a lying, cheating, self serving buffoon of a man as the leader of the free world.
Save your Basilio bashing for the "Resisting Climate Hysteria " thread where your "lot", the flat earth brigade are doing an excellent job.

That's pretty crazy stuff even for you Wayne.
We have one of the most aggressive, dangerous megalomaniacs vying for Presidency of the most powerful country on Earth. He has poisoned political debate and peoples minds to the point that even when it's clear he is lying it doesn't seem to matter.
And yet somehow you think he needs support because he is not the Democrats ? Not Hilary Clinton ?
This is madness Wayne. No true conservative could conceive of supporting Donald Trump. The damage he would do as President would destroy Americas standing and influence for decades to come. Truly it reminds me of Hitlers rise to power as the German response to the Depression

Jon Stewart returns to look at support for Donald Trump.
Fascinating to see how Fox News trashed President Obama for being out of touch, using a Teleprompter, not being "Christian" - and then supported Trump... Priceless

So, Trump wants to do the following things;
- Boot out 'illegal Mexicans'. Well, they are in the country illegally. Come through the front door legally, no problem. I don't see how this is racist (although the left seem to think this is racist)

- Obamacare - repeal and fix it. I work with 2 Americans. They pay around $600 a month for healthcare. Crazy.
https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/healthcare-reform
- Build a proper border, like Israel/Hungary. Nope, that's racist.
https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/pay-for-the-wall
- Tax reform. Similarities between Australia and America. Loopholes galore and currently lots of tax brackets. Time to fix it.

- Look after Vets. Why not, they served their time and put their lives on the line.
