What's Duturtle eating in prison? Bland Dutch food? Lechon? Humba?
Shit. He's eating shit. Just like his moronic followers.

In this part of the century the superpower that all villains have, whether dirt cheap trolls, corrupt politicians or titan tech bros, is IMPUNITY. THey simply can't be held to account. Untouchable.

BREAKING: DUTERTE NATAGPUAN SA KULUNGAN, WALANG KONSIYENSYA. Ayon sa examining physician, "sus, tagal na niyan"

A bottle of Gatorade cost P39 just two or three months ago. Now it's P45. Must be the economic growth they're talking about.

Duterte orcs and trolls running in circles, gnashing their teeth and shrieking: "Why? Why stoopid justice system work?"

In 2024 Americans didn't go to the polling booth to vote a president, they went to the outhouse and excreted Donald Trump.

What's happened to all the nepo baboys, este, babies, flaunting their plumage, taunting Filipinos with their business class travels? They still posting their non-earned riches and possessions? Have they flown away vanished? Scuttled down the rat holes?

After pretending for months not to know what "forthwith" means, Senate moves to dismiss the case at faster than the speed of lies.

If Duterte dies abroad, his remains should be brought home for burial in a huge tomb - a Pogo Pyramid - along with his favorite pets, animals, trolls and servants like Derma Dementa, Krazy Krizette, Narc Lopez, Duwag na Bato and First Lady Bong Go.

BREAKING FAKE NEWS BREAKING FAKE NEWS Narco Lolo is just skin and bones now. "He's down to PHP 1 billion a day na lang instead of PHP 2 billion" said his cash register.

To that pompous of course white American who many years ago loftily called the Philippines a "damaged culture"...
I look at the US now and ask: oh really?

During Duterte's regime @raissawriter and I were attacked by trolls and politicians who mocked journalism, freedom of expression and human rights. I predicted then that when their turn comes these chimpangoons would beg for their human rights and freedoms. Well guess what?

The substandard PHL educational system largely produces semliterates, subliterates and illiterates, graduates who don't know how to read or write and have little comprehension in any language. Fit only to become bolero trolls, drug criminals, entertainers and politicians.

If you're an immigrant/green card holder non-white wannabe white who fanatically supported and voted for Trump - may you be thrown into a deep hole you will never crawl out of. Rot in the dark you sucker.

It feels a little like that day after the stinkbag douchetator Deadinand Formalin Marcos fled w his family, or that time Gloria Mini me Makapal Arroyo was blocked at NAIA from fleeing, or when all those perfumed porky super corrupt senators were arrested.
