Ah yeah, this guy. I had a great laugh during the pandemic, when he said, he would get the vaccine in public and later said it can’t be public, because for some reason it was really important to him to get that needle into his ass. Best was the doctor, who said something like ‘you must not inject anything in the central area of the buttocks!’.
I should probably decrease your laugh, you should know that the antivax in Philippines were at least partially manufactured by USA propaganda campaign.
Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to incite fear of China vaccines

The covert effort began under Trump and continued into Biden’s presidency, Reuters found. Health experts say it endangered lives for possible geopolitical gain.

He also called obama a son of a whore and said if he had to he would kill his own children, real rockstar
Whoa … FUCKING GOOD. Put this queef in the fucking ground and let Trump take note.

The ICC has been investigating mass killings in crackdowns overseen by Duterte when he served as mayor of the southern Philippine city of Davao and later as president. Estimates of the death toll of the crackdown during Duterte’s presidential term vary, from the more than 6,000 that the national police have reported up to 30,000 claimed by human rights groups.

I remember hearing about the situation with Duterte a long time ago. It must have been hell to put up with a government which seemed determined to destroy some of its weakest. I hope things are better in the Phillipines now, and continue to get better!

Duterte's arrest caps an investigation into one of Asia’s most unorthodox leaders

Philippine ex-President Rodrigo Duterte, who left a savage legacy over his deadly anti-drugs crackdown, was arrested on an international warrant as he returned to Manila. He flew home from Hong Kong after speculation that he was seeking exile in China, Duterte told thousands of cheering Filipino expatriates at a Hong Kong gathering that he was aware the International Criminal Court had issued a warrant for his arrest over his campaign against illegal drugs that left thousands or people dead. He again tried to justify the crackdowns and the crowd cheered him on. Police took him into custody as he got off a plane.

I got a few others that need to be on that plane.
All drugs should be legal
Hey, some good news! huzzah!
Don’t worry, the US has already installed a new puppet, son of the old puppet. As usual, the previous one can be thrown under the bus after he served his use.
Fuck, yes! The world is healing.
