    OK HOLD UP

    (As a Filipino, I can tell you that Duterte crooning jazzy, overwrought ballads in the middle of the function is probably the most Filipino thing you could ever do. It’s also why I tend to avoid Filipino functions.

    ANNE. I didn’t know this about you. You aint gonna just throw that in there, lol.

    What do you sing? My go-to is Didn’t We Almost Have it All by Whitney Houston but of course I gotta lower the key like an octave for my alto voice lol. But really I sing any Whitney Houston song and, though my family will tell you otherwise, I am the best singer in my family. Well, my auntie is but that is because she is a semi-professional singer so she doesn’t really count. I remember the first time my husband came to a family thing he was like “wow you guys really like to sing and I can’t believe you have your own karaoke machine” and i was like “no bitch, we SANG and every Filipino household has a karaoke machine”. And YOU KNOW DAMN WELL that the first thing I put on my wedding registry was a fucking Magic Sing, complete with a directory of songs just in Tagalog and English.

    I’m surprised Cap’n Spray-Tang didn’t bring along Eric, Dotard jr. and Gary Busey to reinact “Surviving The Game” through the streets of Manila.

    Also, both clearly have issues with not measuring up to Barack’s poise, and class.

      Measuring up to Barack is hard enough for black men let alone a brutal “dictator,” and a jar of mayonnaise that someone put into a suit, and taught how to tweet while doing angry pouty face.

    I saw what was left of the town of Marawi, last night on the news. Just imagine a town with a population size of Tallahasse, Florida or Salt Lake City (around 190,000) getting bombed by the government for 5 months to get/kill about 1,000 ISIL/ISIS fighters.

    Man, I hope Trump doesn’t get any ideas from this Duterte dude.

    Ugly family truths: My family back home supports Duterte. Those of us who moved to the US and abroad vehemently oppose Duterte. Family who live back home so that Duterte is ending the drug crisis and that those who die are at fault. We’re like, no, he is murdering people in cold blood.

    :(

      My wife is from the Philippines. I am not. Her family supports him as well. It is difficult for me to wrap my head around how they could support him, but I think it just shows how difficult life is in the Philippines. He is making their day to day life better (except for the 5000 people executed of course).

    Say what you want, but at least Duterte makes the trains carrying the new shipments of karaoke machines run on time.

    As for Trump, I always thought he’d have found his second home in one of the pro-Russian ‘stans, like Turkmenistan (leader Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow seen here gifting Putin a birthday puppy).

    It’s like a terrible rebooting of ‘Brokeback Mountain’ (a fucking fantastic, transcendent movie). Call it....’Morally Bankrupt Mountain’, maybe.

    Why is Duterte dressed like a reject from a Taylor Swift video?

      He’s wearing a barong which is the traditional Filipino garb for males.

      Not the shirt, the jacket with the zipper and the boots.
