Flippin' N Floppin'

Flippin' N Floppin'

'Hey, I wouldn't vote for that guy if he was my grandfather! And yes, my DNA shows he's Not! Have you heard some of the Stuff he spouts Off about!? What a foul mouth, and rude Mind he has! Geez! He hates Women, he hates Mexicans and anything hispanic, well...except for his employees of which he has thousands of, he hates queers er, I mean, 'gay' people, he hates news reporters, he's pretty sure that our America is as sorry as it can get, he tells one ...big fat lie after another about Anything that pisses him off, he spreads false stories about Anyone he doesn't like, he is the master of inuindo's and deciet, he congures up conspiracy theories that would make the devil shiver, he holds our President in such contempt that it's scarie, he's as racist and bigoted as a card carrying sheet troll, his idea of gaining respect is to belittle and demean a person, no matter who it may be, until they cave or decide to lay low, he has embarrassed the Republican party to the point of no return, not to count our country world wide. I could go on, and on, and on, and on about just how horrible this man Is and how detrimental he would be if elected as our President, but I think you get the big picture here. What a disgusting person Trump Is!

So, in light of all This let me be perfectly clear about my stand against this idiot that we have mistakenly took under our wing in hopes that he would be a good catch. Whoaaa! Boy, Were We Ever wrong! What fools we were, or Are rather. And if he thinks that I'm gonna stand behind him, support him, and vote for him, well, he's got another thought coming...oh, hold on a second, just got a text from my fellow cronies...lets see...ah..uh-hummm..hmmm...Ok, now where was I..oh yeah, I was talking about my New good friend, Mr. Future President Trump. The text was to remind me that I dare not endanger my top position in the GOP, not to count the personal millions of $$$$$ I will make while here, And I can make HRC's life miserable for the next four years if she 'happens' to win, which would only be by cheating and rigging the voting system by the way.
So, after re-consideration, and looking to my future payroll potential, and my super powers to create hell on earth for HRC, and to insure that some day I might too run for the Oval Office instead of having to groval there, and so in light of all This, let me be perfectly 'clear' about who I will Now, at the Moment anyway, endorse and vote for, at the moment anyway, and it will Not now, at the moment anyway, be HRC who's even worse than my new BFF-FWB Trump, who may the good Lord have mercy on us all, 'might', but probably Not, soon be our new President.
Shoot, gotta get out of these uncomfortable boots and slip on my favorite 'flip-flops' so's my little doggies can have some 'wiggle' room.' :/

Rep. Jason Chaffetz changes his mind again, will vote for Trump after all

William Cummings , USA TODAY 10:06 a.m. EDT October 27, 2016

It turns out Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, is willing to put his "good name and reputation" behind Donald Trump after all.
The chairman of the House Oversight Committee said that he is voting for Donald Trump in a tweet Wednesday night after vowing not to vote for the Republican nominee in the wake of the Access Hollywood recording that surfaced earlier this month.
"I will not defend or endorse @realDonaldTrump, but I am voting for him," Chaffetz tweeted. "HRC is that bad. HRC is bad for the USA."

Shortly after the tape of Trump saying he groped and kissed women dropped like a two-ton explosive into the middle of the presidential campaign, Chaffetz said he could not vote for Trump.

"My wife, Julia and I, we have a 15-year-old daughter," Chaffetz told CNN. "Do you think I can look her in the eye and tell her that I endorsed Donald Trump for president when he acts like this and his apology? That was no apology, that was an apology for getting caught."
"So I'm not going to put my good name and reputation and my family behind Donald Trump when he acts like this, I just can't do it," he continued.
Chaffetz also rejected Trump's apology for his taped comments, which the GOP nominee dismissed as "locker room talk."
"This was not just locker talk — this was offensive," he said on CNN. "I can't tell the good people of Utah that I endorsed a person who acts like this."
Chaffetz's attempt to hold out an endorsement but still be able to vote for Trump didn't seem to matter to the Trump campaign.
On Thursday Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway tweeted a thank you to Chaffetz and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who supports Trump despite denouncing him, for their support.

Chaffetz's home state of Utah has been a safe haven for Republicans since the 1960s, but Trump's unpopularity there, particularly among Mormon voters, has raised doubts about his ability to carry the state. Many in Utah say they intend to vote for independent candidate Evan McMullin, a Mormon and graduate of Brigham Young University.

Former congressman defends Obama tweet 03:15

Story highlights

Walsh has made wild threats on Twitter before
He tweeted a controversial message about Obama in the wake of the Dallas shootings

Washington (CNN)Former Rep. Joe Walsh appeared to call for armed revolution Wednesday if Donald Trump is not elected president.

Walsh, a former tea party congressman from Illinois who is now a conservative talk radio host, tweeted, "On November 8th, I'm voting for Trump. On November 9th, if Trump loses, I'm grabbing my musket. You in?"

Walsh did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment. But he did respond to CNN's Jake Tapper via Twitter when he asked: "What exactly does that mean?"

"It means protesting. Participating in acts of civil disobedience. Doing what it takes to get our country back," he responded to Tapper.

Walsh has made apparent threats on Twitter before. In the wake of the Dallas police officer shootings over the summer, he tweeted, "3 Dallas Cops killed, 7 wounded. This is now war. Watch out Obama. Watch out black lives matter punks. Real America is coming after you."

Donald Trump says he will dramatically ramp up donations in final stretch of campaign

At the time, he told CNN's Don Lemon that he stood by his words and that Twitter "shut me down."

"Twitter said the only way you'll open your account is if we get rid of that tweet," Walsh claimed in July.

At the time, Twitter would not comment on Walsh's claims, citing privacy and security reasons. But spokesman Nu Wexler noted a Twitter policy that says users "may not make threats of violence or promote violence, including threatening or promoting terrorism."

Duterte Still 'Loves' America ;) ;)

'Oh My, My, My! I'm so very much like my idol Mr. Foot In Mouth Trump that 'sometimes' I let my slippery tongued mouth say some of the darndest things! And Now lookie here! While not paying very much attention to my 'loose lips sinks ships' mouth while sucking up to my brand new BFF the glorious presidente' of China, my mouth went stark raving mad, spouting out things that would make the weak of heart shudder in their skivies. I'm pretty 'sure' that I did not Mean a single word of what I may or may not have uttered while in a death grip with my new pal. Geez! I thought he'd never let go of my hand! That guy has a 'made in china' Vice grip there! And just look at me, my little lips all pursed up ready for a man kiss, shoulders up around my neck, my hair combed foreward to cover my balding pattern forehead, my larger than life ears listening to the pounding of my excited, fickle heart, while all the while in the presence of the dictator of all dictators shaking my sweaty, smaller than His, ruthless hand. And you know what? I'm still alive to tell about it! I wanna be Just like Him! Except taller, and not Chinese. I Already Thorouhly, and without question or protest from my sniviling serfs, control my very own kingdom! I just need This guy to front me some really badassed weapons of mutual destruction so's I can mass kill a bunch more drug users, oh, and to show America that I am Not to be triffled with. Oh yeah, I'm Bad! Bad to the Bone! 'Bad' is my middlename. I'm my own Rambo, that's what I am! I'll show those son of a bitchen Americans that I'm not just Anybodies wormy little puppet, well...sorta 'not' anyway. Hmmm...where was I? Oh yeah, about those crazy guy things I said about "severing ties with US". Obviously my words were taken out of 'context'. Stupid reporters can make the Lords Prayer sound like something straight from the devil himself! So, like, ahhhh...whatEver I said, or whatever it 'sounded' like I said, probably was not Meant to 'sound' like whatEver it sounded like I said. So, lets just forget all that claptrap stuff and let me clarify the moment. I don't Really want to cut off All ties with America. Would That be Crazy or What! Hey, I get a lot of cool stuff from America. I Like 'made in America' stuff! You Know, things like Military stuff that actually works, snappy cars, and, well, you Know cool stuff. But Most of all I Really, really, really, like all that American MONEY that the US Government loads me up with. I have no idea How I'm Ever gonna spend it all but I'm happy to my secret bank account every day! And Now, my most favorite BFF-'Friends With Benifits' China, is gonna start stuffing my account with Chinese funny money that can be easily converted to a more Useful money, like US Dollars! Being a dictator is not without its particular benifits. So I say to my former friend (not really) America that I will allow you to hang around, as long as you keep sending me lots of greenbacks, while I play tootsies with some of the worlds most ruthless, and heartless dictators, and better learn their 'trade', and while I learn better how to be just like them myself. Everyone in my kingdom backs me, and love me to no end. I Never hear one single complaint...more than Once anyway. I mean, afterall, who wants to be added to my 'suspected' drug user list. My kingdom cannot think for its self, nor can it survive these modern times without me, and Now, with the noble and honoured assistance of my new BFF's, and with that Stupid whore president of America out of the picture, it will be a breeze to enslave my serfs and rule with an iron, although Small, yet deadly, fist.' :/ :/

Philippines' Duterte softens stance toward U.S. before Japan visit

By Linda Sieg and Kiyoshi Takenaka| TOKYO

TOKYO Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte softened his remarks about a "separation" from long-time ally the United States on the eve of a visit to Japan, a country worried about Manila's apparent pivot away from Washington and toward China."The alliances are alive," Duterte told Japanese media in Manila on Monday, Kyodo News reported. "There should be no worry about changes of alliances. I do not need to have alliances with other nations."
The remarks will be welcomed by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who wants to keep ties with the Philippines tight during Duterte's visit to Japan, starting on Tuesday.
Duterte jolted the region last week on a trip to China when he announced a realignment toward Beijing, the latest in a series of outbursts against the United States.
Duterte and his aides later tried to clarify that he did not mean he was cutting ties with the United States and his remarks on Monday were the most conciliatory yet.
Duterte told Japanese media he had been expressing a personal opinion, not speaking for the government when he mentioned separating from Washington, the Nikkei newspaper said. He said he only plans to have an "alliance of trade and commerce" with China, Kyodo reported.
The Yomiuri newspaper, however, said Duterte had repeated he wants to halt joint military exercises with the United States and end a military cooperation pact seen as crucial to projecting U.S. power in Asia in the face of a fast-rising China.

WORRIED JAPANAbe has sought to strengthen ties with the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries as a counter-balance to Beijing.
"It's certainly unfortunate and we are worried, but such things will not change Japan's commitment to the Philippines," said Narushige Michishita, a professor at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies and former defense official, referring to Duterte's comments.
Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, after talking to his Philippine counterpart on Sunday, is confident the two countries can "work through" a period of confusion caused by Duterte's remarks the State Department said.
Duterte has railed against U.S. expressions of concerns about the high loss of life in his campaign against drugs and Washington's calls for due process.
Japanese officials said Abe would not overtly try to mediate between Tokyo and Washington but would probably explain the importance of the U.S. role in the region.
Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida will meet Duterte on Tuesday for a low-key dinner, and Abe will hold rare one-on-one talks with Duterte at his residence in Tokyo the next evening following a larger, more formal meeting with senior officials.

"I believe ties between Japan and the Philippines are very important and that seeking to stabilize bilateral ties will lead straight to peace, stability and prosperity of the region as well as of the international community," Kishida told reporters.
He added he wanted to listen carefully to Duterte's views.
Duterte's predecessor Benigno Aquino angered China by lodging a case with an arbitration court in the Hague challenging the legitimacy of Beijing's maritime claims in the resource-rich South China Sea.
A ruling earlier this year emphatically favoured Manila but was rejected by China, which has repeatedly warned the United States and Japan to stay out of the dispute.
Duterte said the two countries had agreed not to discuss the international court's ruling on his initial visit, but would have to talk about it at some point, the Nikkei reported.

Maple leaves

Red, yellow,

Gently falling,

Seeking solace

On autumns

Cooling ground.

Tracking south

Seeking warmer

Warm autumn

Leaves,

A blanket

Scientist Discovers One Of World's Rarest Birds And Kills It For 'Research'

October 11, 2015| by Brendan Kelly

844 758

A scientist tracked down an incredibly rare bird and took the first ever photo of a male of the species before killing it shortly thereafter.
Dr. Chris Filardi, the director of Pacific Programs at the Museum of Natural History, has defended his decision to kill the bird, saying it was "collected as a specimen for additional study."
The male mustached kingfisher is found only in the Solomon Islands, specifically one island called Guadalcanal. The bird is referred to as a “ghost” because no scientist has ever captured a photo of it.
Filardi wrote about the experience of spotting the rare bird after hearing its call, which a member of the research team recorded.

“When I came upon the netted bird in the cool shadowy light of the forest I gasped aloud, ‘Oh my god, the kingfisher,’” he wrote in a Facebook post. “One of the most poorly known birds in the world was there, in front of me, like a creature of myth come to life. We now have the first photos ever taken of the bird, as well as the first definitive recordings of its unmistakable call.”

Initially, Filardi’s field journal on the Museum of Natural History’s website did not indicate that he had actually killed the bird, but it was later revealed.
Filardi’s decision to kill the bird has divided the scientific community over the morality of killing an animal for research, according to The Do Do. Ecologists have called it an “unnecessary slaying.”
Filardi disputes these claims, however, saying that the dead bird could provide scientists with important knowledge and protect the birds for years to come.
"Through a vision shared with my Solomon Island mentors, and focused keenly on sacred Uluna-Sutahuri lands, the Moustached Kingfisher I collected is a symbol of hope and a purveyor of possibility, not a record of loss,” Filardi wrote on Audubon.org.
Filardi said that this was not a “trophy hunt” and that the bird was captured “during a groundbreaking international, multi-disciplinary biodiversity survey of the uploads of Guadalcanal Island in the Solomon Archipelago that was led by Pacific Islanders.”
The moustached kingfisher is technically classified as “endangered.” However, further research may reveal the species to be more common. Filardi said that locals living in Guadalcanal view the bird as being common, though that may be due to the island’s small geographical span.
The scientist and his team hope that the rediscovery of the rare bird will contribute to conservation efforts and shift focus to socioeconomic conditions in the Solomon Islands.

Mainers Have A 'Little' Problem

Breaking 'News'! Breaking 'News'! Just in, fresh off the ticker, and brought straight to you from 'BBSN' (buddyblackssatiricalnews)!

As Anyone who reads the news and keeps up with the flow of political slop that seeps from top secret trash bins out behind official government offices, Maines Gov. Paul LePage (PL) is creating more than his share of self induced toxic sludge.
To get to the bottom of Lepage's putrifying dumpster, our ever ready 'reporter' on the go, BuddyBlack (BB) has stepped up to the dinner plate and volunteered to don his haz-mat suit and go toe to toe with his immenince, the king of potty mouth himself.
So, turn off those electronic communication devices, and store your other electronic gizmos, and lets cozy up to the big screen, and see what transpires while Buddy probes the dark recessess of lePage's even dimmer mind.

BB: Is it true that you said; “I will no longer speak to the press ever again after today,....and I’m serious. Everything will be put in writing. I am tired of being caught — the gotcha moments"?
PL: Yes, That's what I said, and that's what I mean! Filthy reporters! Liars all! No matter What you say, it gets blown all out of proportion! They just hear what they Want to hear, and write what they want to write!
BB: Well don't worry sir, my lips are sealed! Your 'secrets' are safe with me! I'm 'not' even recording this conversation. Really. You just let it all out, say what you like, feel the flow, let it all go. Just pretend I'm not here, and that you're chatting with Yourself.
PL: Why, thanks Buddy, I like you, you're certainly an exception to the 'rule'. This world needs more 'reporters' like yourself. You just go ahead and ask me anything you like.
BB: We all hear that the state of Maine seems to have a serious illegal drug problem. How do you explain all this happenning on Your 'watch'?
PL: Well, "guys by the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty […] come from CT and NY, they come up here, they sell their heroin, then they go back home.” "and Then before they leave, they impregnate a young white girl before they leave,” “We’re gonna make ’em very severe penalties.” But don't worry, we're gonna catch these fly by nighters, and Then boy are they gonna be sorry.
BB: So....Those Three guys have caused All the drug problems all over Maine? How many "white girls" have they actually impregnated? Are you saying that 'Black' girls may be safe? Just how hard can it be to capture Three bad guys??
PL: (no reply, scratches his head, keeps looking up at the dumpster lid, hand on the ladder)
BB: What severe penalities would you met out if you Ever Do catch these three desperados?
PL: “I think the death penalty should be appropriate for people who kill Mainers,” “We should give them an injection of the stuff they sell.” […]“What we ought to do is bring the guillotine back,” “We could have public executions and we could even have which hole it falls in.” I've got some other ideas that Mainers will like as well. Everyone is behind me on this. Everyone! Everyone!
BB: Hmmmm....don't they do that over in some middle eastern countries..you Know, by that crazy little terriorist group, ISIS?
PL: Well, it certainly takes care of the 'repeat' offender problems. You know what? I consider myself a smaller mouthed version of my BFF Donald Trump. We think a lot alike, I'm surprised he didn't call me and ask me to be his running mate. I'd make a great Vice Pres and I bet he'd let me hang out in the Oval Office when he's out building that wonderful wall.
BB: Well, good luck with that. Some people, even your own constituants, would say that you are a bit of a racist, a bigot, homophobic, anti-immigration, biased, Islomaphobic, ignorant, and wouldn't you know, just like your BFF Mr.trump. How would you respond to your critics?
PL: Well, it takes one to know one.
BB: You have said that, “Asylum seekers — I think the biggest problem in our state — and I’ll explain that to you,” “What happens is you get hepatitis C, tuberculosis, AIDS, HIV, the ‘ziki fly,’ all these other foreign type of diseases that find a way to our land.” Are you aware that, Megan Hannan, executive director of the Frannie Peabody Center, an HIV/AIDS treatment center in Portland, Maine, said that, “The rise in hepatitis C cases is due to an increase in intravenous drug use,” and that, "....while some refugees and other immigrants may have HIV or other diseases, such as tuberculosis, there is no evidence that they’re spreading the disease to other Mainers. She also noted that there are no known cases of the Zika virus in Maine? Do you think the 'sky is falling'? How did all this happen on your 'watch'? Were you out of town, out of sight, out of mind?
PL: SEE!? Just another case of stupid reporters saying what they want people to hear instead of reporting the 'truth'! I mean, Come On Buddy, where do you think all these things come from in the first place? White Americans were perfectly healthy before all these immigrants started flooding across our borders! And Now look! They've been turned into drug users and disease carriers! Mainers deserve better than This! Immigrants and out of state drug pushers are the problem here!
BB: So...'white' people can't just have their Own problems, they have to inherit them from immigrants? Didn't this same thing happen when Europeons, 'immigrants' by the way, first came to the Americas and 'shared' their wonderful diseases with the Native Americans thus killing off untold numbers of their populations? 'LaPage' sounds French, what diseases did Your ancesters bring with Them from France to share with the Native Americans? Have you ever had a DNA test performed on yourself Paul, you Know, to see if you have a little 'mixed' blood in there somewhere?
PL: That's right! White folks were clean, and drug free. And Then all these Foreigner came here with their drugs, and diseases, and crimes, and messed with our white women. As for my Own relatives, we've always been healthy, drug free, pure of blood, and 'sound of mind'. Everyone, especially White folks, in Maine supports me, afterall they voted me In a bunch of times. They love me here! They want me to be their leader forever! And ever! I speak for Them because I love them, and they love me right back. Look, we gotta get out of here, the truck will be here in a few minutes to empty this thing. Thanks for the chat Buddy, you come back any time now, hear.
BB: Sure thing gov., and remember, my lips are sealed.

And so ends yet another dumpster diving session with yet another self indulging, seemingly 'pure white', pure blooded, disease, drug, and alcohol free, yet phobic ridden 'mind trash' monger who not unlike his BFF Mr.Trump simply knows no boundries once he opens up in public, and loosens the tongue of his Rhetoric filled mouth.

Join us again in the un-scheduled future here at 'BBSN', when dumpster diving we shall surely go. Until then, remember, a wasted Vote is one you'll have to live with for a very long, and possibly miserable time to come. :/:/

LePage demands apology from reporter, vows to never speak to press again

Maine Gov. Paul LePage on Wednesday blamed a reporter in part for his fiery outburst to a state lawmaker last week and vowed never to speak with the press again.
LePage last Thursday left an obscenity-laced voicemail on Democratic state Rep. Drew Gattine’s phone after he was told by a reporter that Gattine had called the governor a racist. He ordered Gattine to “prove that I’m a racist” and warned “I am after you.”

Speaking to reporters later that day, LePage expressed his desire to challenge the “snot-nosed little guy from Westbrook” to a duel in which he would point a firearm “right between his eyes, because he is a snot-nosed little runt and he has not done a damn thing since he’s been in this Legislature to help move the state forward.”

LePage met with Gattine on Wednesday morning and apologized to the state legislator and Maine, but he also suggested that he isn’t the only person who has a reason to be sorry.
“After speaking with Representative Gattine, I think that the reporter who put the mic in my face owes the people of Maine an apology as well, because [Gattine] never called me racist,” LePage told reporters. “He said I made racially [charged] comments. Maybe, in my mind, it is semantics. But in his mind, after talking to him, it was clear that there was a real difference. Fine.”
LePage conceded that he may have responded the same way had Gattine’s comment been portrayed accurately “because race bothers me, because I try to help minorities.”
“And I will say this: The biggest discrimination in the United States of America is not race. It’s poverty,” he added. “And we need to educate people out of poverty and not by throwing money at them, and that’s another area that’s very, very dear to my heart.”
Maine Democrats, who control the state House, have called for LePage’s resignation. And although some Senate Republicans have said they want to see “corrective action,” the House GOP on Tuesday chose not to take any action against the governor after meeting privately for more than two hours about his inflammatory rhetoric.
“The House, I believe, is very supportive. I believe the Senate would like me to leave,” LePage said. “That’s the truth. I’m brutally honest.”
Despite telling a local radio station on Tuesday that he may or may not resign and acknowledging “maybe it’s time to move on,” his position was firm Wednesday.
“I may not supposed to be that sensitive to these things, but I am. I lose sleep over this, and it’s frustrating when you hear people talk about cheap political stunts to hurt their opponent and not do the right thing,” he said. “Being called a racist was a horrible thing for me. It was enormously hurtful. It hurt my family. I will not resign, though.”
What he said he will do, however, is stop speaking to the media.
“I will no longer speak to the press ever again after today,” LePage said, prompting laughter from reporters. “And I’m serious. Everything will be put in writing. I am tired of being caught — the gotcha moments.”
“You folks live in a seven-second fiction world,” he continued. “I live in 24-hour reality.”
LePage accepted responsibility for what he characterized as taking the reporter’s “bait.”
“Frankly, it’s been going on, and after six years I should have caught on, but that was a cheap shot, and he got my goat,” he said. “And I don’t know if he researched and knows that I am very sensitive to helping black people in some of the Caribbean islands, but it’s very, very sensitive, and he hit a wrong button. He hit the wrong nerve.”
LePage said he will seek “spiritual guidance” from his family and dismissed speculation that he’s a victim of alcohol abuse, drug addiction or mental illness.
“To whomever it was, I’m not an alcoholic and I’m not a drug addict and I don’t have mental issues,” he said. “What I have is a backbone, and I wanna move Maine forward and, you know, in this politics, it’s very hard to be a one-man show.”
LePage, who called black and Hispanic people “the enemy” last week after remarking that most drug dealers in Maine are minorities, denied making any “racially charged” comments.
“I apologized for what I did. You need to either not print any more articles about drug trafficking because every single thing I did came out of newspapers, and it’s right here,” he said. “I’m sorry, but I look at newspapers. Let’s put it this way, human beings are coming to Maine and killing Mainers, and, frankly, I call that murder because they know people will die when they sell that poison. Now let’s leave the ethnicity out of it. Some of my friends have kids who are dying.”
“Maybe my temperament for the poor and the underdog is over the top, but I live my life that way,” LePage concluded. “I’m comfortable fighting for the underdog. I’m just not a very good politician.”
In a statement released Wednesday afternoon, Maine Republican Party Chairman Richard Bennett praised LePage as the change agent voters sought in the state’s past two gubernatorial elections but noted that his controversies “have been tremendously difficult and unnecessary for the people of Maine” and he was right to apologize for his “harmful and inappropriate” language.
Bennett, however, insisted that the focus of Maine lawmakers and the state’s community should shift back to what’s important, citing jobs, the economy and its drug crisis as examples.
“In order to do so, the Governor needs to take full responsibility for his words and exercise the leadership I know he is capable of,” he said.

Duterte Has A New BFF

'America?! America???!! Hey we don't need no stinkin' America!
Who 'needs' Them anyway? Who needs democracy in the first place? I'm my Own man, and I make all the decision for All my peoples. Of course for a Lot of them the 'decision' is immediate Death, but then they Knew I was a 'snake' when they took me in. And lucky for Me, dead men tell no tales. And of course Some people, certainly not wise Philippino's, worry that Some, maybe Most, of those dead people might have been totally innocent of drug involvement. But hey, at least the dead have no worries, so it all even out in the end. Besides, I just kill them, I let Jesus sort them out. All this is America's fault in the first place! If it were not for these filthy gringos importing drugs and whores, I'd only have to kill about Half as many as I have, and you Know what, I'm not done Yet. So, thanks a million America! Oh, and speaking of 'millions', Mr. Obama, please continue to send those beautiful, filthy, easy on the eye, $American$ dollars. I still curse you all the way to my personal 'bank'.
Anyway, as I was 'saying', not one single person in my beautiful drug ridden country needs Anything from America, ahhh...with the exception of those $$'greenbacks'$$ of course. And like I 'said' I am my own man, which every single, drug free, legal citizen of my very own fiefdom would agree with. That is unless they wish to be included in my little 'drug user death list'. I make all the decisions for my kingdom, and that's just the way my serfs like it. For example, just recently one of our stupid Supreme Court judges, without 'thinking' obviously, complained about the many people I have had murdered who were only 'suspected' of involvement with drugs. Ha! I told her to chill out or I would declare martail law. Wisely she has been very quiet since then. You see, that's the way a good dictator uses his power. I have studied under the Best, and now I'm pretty sure that I Am the Best. No one can tell Me what to do or think, or who my 'friends' can be.
Speaking of 'friends', have I mentiond that my new BFF is China? Yep! And here's some News for America; you know those joint military exercises comeing up next week? Well, guess what gringo country, “I would serve notice to you now that this will be the last military exercise”. “Jointly, Philippines-US, the last one.”
"I will maintain the military alliance because there is an RP-US pact which our countries signed in the early ‘50s.” “I will establish new alliances for trade and commerce and you are scheduled to hold war games again, which China does not want.” Yeah, yeah, I Know I said I make my Own 'decisions', and that I'm my Own man, but a good puppet know who to let pull his strings. And let me tell you, it ain't gonna be no American! You see, it's sorta like This, I can 'trust' China, I mean when have you Ever heard about Them doing something behind a 'friends' back? On a trustworthy scale of 10, I give them an 8+, America, a -0. What a peaceful country China is! And that Xi Jinping, what a guy! He really knows how to work a crowd! Look how his serfs bow to him at every turn. This guy Demands respect! You don't 'see' drug dealers, and whores hawking their wares on the streets of China do you?! And Protesters? They removed That word from their dictionaries! People respect him, of course they also don't want to wind up as a 'patient' in one of his 'Organ Donation' 'hospitals' either. Hmmm...maybe I can start one of those here. It's not easy being a dictator but I'm Learning! I'm leaning towards Another peaceful, and the very 'honest' country, of Russia as a new BFF as well. I just Love the way my pal Vlad keeps his serfs under control. Have you ever seen him without a Shirt on?? My, what a viral speciman of humanity! And humane is exactly what he is! He has never, that I'm instantly aware of, told a lie. To Anyone. Never Ever. That's what he told me, and I 'believe' him all the way. Pretty soon I'll have lots of big friendly dictators on my side, and they'll teach me all they know about the art of dictatorship. My ports will be full of dictators big military ships, my airports full of their war planes, and then no one, not even filthy Americans, will be able to tell Me what to do. And stupidly, America will just keep sending lots, and lots of $$$ to me all the while. I'll be able to just go on murdering my own people, and when I run out of drug users, I'll figure something Else to kill them for. Then, my kingdom will be just as safe as Russia, or North Korea, or China, and tourists will flock back to my kingdom in droves. Our national currancy, the Peso, which all my serfs are required to use, while I myself am 'forced' to use that filthy American money, will increase in value, our stock market will rise to the clouds, our economy will outpace even Japans, and every man, woman, and child will be able to get a personal 'loan' from my bank to buy a bicycle with a motor on it. Oh what a joyful time it will be! Well, must go now, my gorgeous Limo is waiting, gotta issue some more chinese bullets to my vigilantes.' :/ :/

Duterte declares upcoming Philippines-U.S. war games 'the last one'

By Martin Petty| HANOI

HANOI Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte plunged one of the United States' most important Asian alliances deeper into uncertainty on Wednesday by declaring upcoming U.S.-Philippines military exercises "the last," and ruling out any joint navy patrols.The firebrand Duterte pledged to honor a longstanding security treaty with the United States, but said China opposed joint marine drills in the Philippines starting next week and there would be no more war games with Washington after that.
"I am serving notice now to the Americans, this will be the last military exercise," Duterte said during a visit to Vietnam. "Jointly, Philippines-U.S.: the last one."
Duterte's remarks gave one of the strongest signs yet of fissures in a historic alliance that Washington has relied upon as it tries to cement its influence in Asia to counterbalance China's rapid rise. Duterte's foreign minister later said his comments had been taken out of context.
State Department spokesman John Kirby said he was not aware of any official notification from the Philippines about ending joint exercises.
"Our focus is on the relationship today and moving it forward," Kirby told a regular news briefing. "We continue to believe that that's possible. ... (W)e have significant security commitments with the Philippines. We're committed to meeting those commitments and to furthering this relationship."
The Philippines military and U.S. Marines are to hold annual amphibious landing exercises from Oct. 4 to 12. Military leaders from the countries have also started preparing for a new set of exercises next year.
Duterte said he would establish "new alliances for trade and commerce" with Russia and China, but would maintain security agreements with Washington.
His near-daily outbursts against the United States began in earnest last month, when he spoke of alleged atrocities a century ago by the United States when it was the Philippines' colonial ruler.
He has called President Barack Obama a "son of a bitch" and said he would order the pullout of the remaining U.S. special forces stationed in the Philippines' restive south.
Duterte told a gathering of the Filipino community in Hanoi there would be no chance of naval patrols with Washington because they risked dragging the Philippines into conflict with China.
The Philippines and China have long sparred over sovereignty in the South China Sea, and Manila and Washington have shared concerns about China's military clout and pursuit of broad maritime claims.

WHAT DUTERTE "CLEARLY MEANT"Asked if Duterte was serious about ending military exercises with the United States, Foreign Secretary Perfecto Yasay said he was misunderstood and his remarks taken out of context.
The only thing Duterte had ruled out were joint patrols beyond the Philippines' 12-nautical mile territorial waters, Yasay said.
"Our agreement, that will be respected and this is what the president clearly meant," Yasay told a scrum of reporters, referring to a 1951 Mutual Defence Treaty.
Despite Yasay's words, Duterte's latest comments add to uncertainty about what his end game is and whether Manila's next moves could complicate regional diplomacy or alter the status quo in the South China Sea.
A U.S. defense official said he had not seen the Philippines make a formal request to stop sea patrols and added that the bar for a "joint patrol" with the Philippines was low.
"If the joint patrols stop, will this have any sort of major impact on the situation in the South China Sea? Most likely not," the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. He added that in a sign things were continuing as usual, the landing ship USS Germantown would be making a port call in Manila from Wednesday.
Richard Jacobson, an American security expert, said Duterte's posturing could embolden China to exploit a testy relationship between two old allies.
"The U.S.-Philippines relationship might become strained and even shaken," Jacobson said.
"The U.S. geopolitical stakes in the region are much too high to react to his hyperbole. The current attitude in Washington is mature - more of patience than feeling provoked."
The Philippines has not formally committed to joining the United States in patrols beyond its territorial waters in the South China Sea. It has carried out at least two patrols with the United States this year that remained within 12 nautical miles of the Philippine coast.
