Duterte tells troops to shoot female rebels in the vagina.

Duterte tells troops to shoot female rebels in the vagina. "The Philippine president regularly denigrates women and has told soldiers to use rape in conflicts."

BEIJING — Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte told soldiers last week to shoot female rebels in their genitals, the latest of several violent, misogynistic remarks.

Addressing a group of former communist rebels on Wednesday, Duterte, who served as a mayor before becoming president, appeared to encourage the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to target women in conflict.

“Tell the soldiers. ‘There’s a new order coming from the mayor. We won’t kill you. We will just shoot your vagina,’ ” he said.

“If there is no vagina, it would be useless,” Duterte continued, according to local media reports, appearing to imply that women are useless without their genitals.

The president’s communications office included the comment in the official transcript from the event but replaced the word “vagina” with a dash.

Duterte’s presidency has been defined by violence — and often violently misogynistic language.

Since he came to power on a promise to kill all the drug users and dealers in the country, thousands of Filipinos have been shot dead, prompting the International Criminal Court to open a preliminary examination.

Doesn't the right have such lovely plans for the rest of humanity?

Meet Paul Nehlen, the nazi running for Paul Ryan's seat in Wisconsin - ACCOUNT SUSPENDED!




Here's the racist, Republican clown/anti-semite trying to take Paul Ryan's seat. Yeah, he's running for Congress. These people forget how the game ended in Hitler's bunker. THAT was funny.

Some Philadelphia Eagles players boycotting White House visit over Trump

Despite Philadelphia Eagles winning the SuperBowl, several players have already indicated that they will not participate in the traditional White House visit, citing their opposition to President Donald Trump

The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl for the first time in the franchise's history on Sunday, but several players have already indicated that they will not participate in the traditional White House visit, citing their opposition to President Donald Trump.

Wide receiver Torrey Smith, who raised his fist on the field to express solidarity with the "Black Lives Matter" movement, expressed his disapproval of Trump's war against players who take a knee during the national anthem to protest racism.
Trump, who released a statement on Super Bowl Sunday urging players to "proudly stand for the anthem," congratulated the Eagles for their historic win.

"Congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles on a great Super Bowl victory!" he tweeted.

"We read the news just like everyone else," Smith said on Wednesday. "You see Donald Trump tweet something ... We have those conversations in the locker room, just like everyone else does in the workplace. We're very informed about what goes on, and we're trying to continue to educate ourselves."

"They call it the anthem protest," he added. "We're not protesting the anthem. It's a protest during the anthem. I understand why people are mad, or may be offended when someone takes a knee. My father, when he dies, is going to be buried with an American flag draped around his casket, being that he served in the Army."
