The woke left wish Trump could be dealt with like Duerte.

Philippines ex-leader Duterte is on a plane to The Hague after arrest 48 minutes ago.

A private jet carrying the former president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, has left Manila after the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant accusing him of crimes against humanity over his deadly "war on drugs".

During Duterte's time in office, thousands of small-time drug dealers, users and others were killed without trial. Trump is just as draconian in the execution of his policy on immigration. Tens of thousands are hunted down, incarcerated, and deported regardless of their personal situations.

Social order comes with a price in terms of human pain that the woke regard as cruel. The woke housed illegals in America's luxury hotels while Trump is throwing all of them out of the USA.

What? Duterte oversaw extrajudicial killings of "drug dealers" and his administration looked the other way as citizens committed vigilante killings of "drug dealers".

Trump lawfully deporting illegal immigrants in America is not an apt comparison.

@SumKindaMunster Exactly. Whatever one might think about Trump's activities, they are not illegal, he did not break the law.

Technically, you are right. But why split hairs? The principle is about doing what is right to maintain social order.

@sree251 Checking if something is against the law or not – I wouldn't call that "splitting hairs" 🤨

Duerte did not break the law either. ICC law is not universal law. The ICC is a creation of woke white EU globalists. It is operating on the same ethos as the US hegemon imposing its rules-based order on the world. If the Philippines is a superpower, it will bomb The Hague and take out the ICC the way the US had destabilized and destroyed small helpless countries that defied it.

Whose law are you talking about? If Trump did not win the last election to become President, he would be in jail like Duerte. The law is in the eyes of the beholder.
