The new leader of the Philippines is in a league of his own when it comes to presidential profanity. Rodrigo Duterte's favorite phrase, which translates roughly to "son of a whore," has been deployed against the likes of President Obama and Pope Francis. On Tuesday, during a speech to local business executives in his hometown of Davao City, he took aim at the European Union with irreverent gusto.
The E.U.'s parliament recently told Duterte to "put an end" to the killings of drug suspects, which human rights groups say has claimed the lives of more than 2,400 people.
"I have read the condemnation of the European Union. I'm telling them, 'F--- you,' " Duterte said in a mix of Filipino and English.
"I repeat it, 'F--- you!' " said Duterte as he assumed a deadpan look, raised his right hand and unfurled his middle finger. The audience applauded.

The local “style” of hotdog involves mustard, slaw, chili and onions. But, there are other varieties. I’ve seen pickle relish, mustard, ketchup and onion on one, many restaurants offer them that way, some with bacon also or even cheddar cheese, and I have even eaten them that way before. It’s not bad. What is this “queer” thing about ketchup on a hot dog? Never heard it before.
Yeah, let’s all listen to WaPo, a source that should be banned from FR. Duerte smacked Obama, therefore, the WaPo doesn’t like him. Better Duerte than Hussein Obama and his bitches.
“challenged Trump to a fistfight”
I doubt Duterte will put his money where his mouth is when push comes to shove-but that would be a hell of a cage match-and my money would be on Trump...
First he launches a vigilante crusade that has resulted in thousands of dead drug dealers, then he calls Obama the son of a whore, and now he's giving the middle finger to the EU?
I'm really starting to like this guy. :)
This guy is trying real hard to make me like him.
That's what *I* said! :)
I am of divided mind about this. Dueterte has launched a vigilante campaign that has gotten a lot of people killed, and these people did not receive the rights they were due under the law.
On the other hand, making it difficult for drug dealers to stay alive is very much in the interests of his nation.
I have long said that the reason our "war on drugs" isn't accomplishing anything is because we do not treat it like we would an actual war.
When we are having the bodies of dead drug dealers piling up, then we can be said to be taking it seriously.
It is a lot to expect. I found them to be extremely rare. The ones who were, were sidelined by office politics and often pushed out. There was this one group I managed, with an older fellow that seemed burned out but often gave me some advice on how to treat employees. My bosses wanted me to fire him, looking for various excuses for me to do so. I learned from others that he was a former manager who was demoted and pushed to a corner job. He was one of those straight-shooters who was honest but got in the cross-hairs of corrupt bosses for calling them out. I stood up for him, and refused to fire him and kept him until he retired. It got me in trouble with the higher-ups, and some other things I did to protect my crew eventually led to my being removed from that department to be a manager elsewhere. So as much as you might wish a boss who is respectful of humans, reality says otherwise.
The folks at the COMPOST don’t like it when they get b!tch slapped in the face by the real world.
The COMPOST staff is clutching their pearls and swooning at the thought of a little HARSH LANGUAGE. I guess the pink panty pukes think the whole world should work by the same rules as their DC cocktail parties.
kill drug dealers....
what’s wrong with that..???
the EU parliament is a soros inspired PAINFUL JOKE on europeans ...
If killing those who peddle destructive lies becomes normal,socialists might be next after drug dealers.
You nailed it right there.
Looks like there will be plenty more reality checks in their future should Mr. Trump become President Trump. About time.
