He’s been accused in the past while he was mayor of having death squads

There is nothing gay about a homosexual son of a bitch.

Somebody needs to do a headcount, because Obama has appointed a *lot* of homosexuals to the foreign service as ambassadors. Some countries have actually refused to credential real flamers who have been sent there, not particularly wanting the US embassy in their country turned into a gay bathhouse/round-the-clock orgy.

Were Obama to have done this discreetly, it wouldn’t have raised eyebrows. However, he has recruited hardcore, Castro Street flamboyant homosexuals who really want to wave it in the face of their host country.

Here in the Philippins, ordinary folk think it is funny....unlike the elites, he uses the vocabulary of the street.

Sometimes fighting evil requires a different kind of evil.

That said, I certainly don't endorse death squads. Where does it end, the race to the bottom?

This is all part of Obama’s genius “pivot to Asia”.

Yes Duterte is a son of a bitch, and all the drug dealers and crooked politicians are afraid of him. Ordinary folk like him because he might stop them from stealing everything in sight.

He wasn’t accused. He had death squads and the whole country has death squads now. His ministers are climbing over each other to announce what offenses they will kill you for.

We are going to cause a fight with an essential ally (take a look at a map of the South China Sea) because he made a wise ass remark about the ambassador?

I don’t think she’d like it if he clarified his remarks.

I clearly remember under the Butcher of Benghazi and her successor Kerry, promoting fagdom was stated to be the actual mission of the state dept. Fag “pride” events in embassies and the like. Fag ambassadors all over the place. No doubt staffers as well.

They have been pushing fagdom in countries around the world pedal to the metal.

I asked a good friend in the PI what people think of him. Haven’t heard back (she and family have been ultra busy) but I’ll ask her today and get back to the thread.

Yeah, I guess so. This administration seems bent on destroying the nation as fast as possible. I have never seen it this bad to where advocating/supporting/protecting/tryingtogetalloftheyoungpeopletoparticipatein homosexuality is #1 priority and everything else be damned.

"How do you 'clarify' a statement like that?"

You throw in "son of a motherless goat."

Actual words -

...’yung ambasador, ‘yung bakla. Putangina, buwisit ako diyan.

More correct translation is

...that ambassador, that homosexual. Sonofabitch, he bugs me.

Putang Ina is literally “son of a whore”, no canine reference, using “puta”, the Spanish for whore. Its an all-purpose curse word often liberally used as an interjection where “f***” or “f*****g” would be used in similar situations in this country.
Often contracted to “’tangina” or “’tang’na”. As one would do if used rapidly and frequently.
Its also, more correctly, used where sonofabitch is used as an interjection.
So he wasn’t actually calling the ambassador that. He was, in that part of his statement, speaking colorfully.

He did call him “bakla”, which is a fairly modern, formerly slang term. Its not a “nice” term like “gay”, but common and acceptable these days. The word is old and the attachment of the homosexual meaning to it is interesting. There are several other Tagalog words for homosexual.

Buwisit, or bwisit, is another interesting word that isnt actually precisely translatable.

Tagalog is an interesting language.
