Last week, Donald Trump heaped a ton of praise on the murderous and authoritarian Philippine strongman, Rodrigo Duterte, on his handling drug issues. People there are being murdered, tortured, arrested of being suspect of drug use.
According to a Huffington Post article, Duterte declared Martial Law on the island of Mindanao. He stated that his Military has permission to rape women and young girls while dealing with ISIS. How is this humane?
It is said that we are judged by the company we keep. If Donald Trump wants to associate with MONSTERS like Duterte of thr Philippines, Putin of Russia, and Erdorogan of Turkey, then that makes him a MONSTER as well. What say you?

(34,376 posts)exploiting workers, cheating partners, bullying those in less advantageous positions than him, lying, cheating, stealing. In his twisted brain, he equates being a strongman with being a strong leader, so we must neutralize him or he will destroy the United States. It's an uphill battle because it's become increasingly clear that the Republican party is complicit, and that they prefer Soviet-style authoritarianism and autocracy to what the United States is being due to demographics--a multiracial democracy, and they are willing to go as far as committing treason to hold onto power.
I don't know what the answer is. The Republicans have complete control over 2 branches of government and, after Gorsuch starts hearing cases, they will control all three at least until 2018. I don't know if we can survive that long, honestly, but I'll go do down fighting.

(2,809 posts)Exacerbated by feeble minded senility, Donald Trump's pre-wealth-warped sense of American life has become this ultimate self-serving creature whose entire sense of reality is forgotten and re-created daily. I believe most every orange hair on that smelly scalp extends inwards as a neurofibrillary tangle.

80% of Evangelical Christians voting for Orange Hitler cleared that right up for me.
