Chinese agent?
Senator Ronald Dela Rosa did what?
In Brasil they had the Black Hand. They killed shoplifters and petty thieves. They were paid for by shop keepers.
Expecting strict & impeccable judicial procedure when levels of crime are high is ludicrous. It is step-wise implemented.
Just think we have so much justice n the US that Quid Bro Joe's younger brother can run over a man, be liable for a million dollar judgment, and not pay up although he is a millionaire. Would Duerte (or a leader in another country) be off base to not grant Quid Pro Joe's bAbY brother a visa?

Last month, the State Department revoked the visa of a Filipino senator, Ronald Dela Rosa, who served as Duterte’s chief of police when the government launched its brutal anti-drug crackdown.
The State Department barred Dela Rosa as part of its policy to deny entry into the United States to those implicated in human rights violations.
stupido comments here of course support murder and dictator there as wsell as here. tip: it was the State Dept, not an individual...guess who is in charge of State? Orange Baboon
Stupido. Parrots new favorite word.
Duerte is not a dictator until if or when he rigs an election to stay in power.
Funny, but Obama granted dictators visas and entry to the US if they were the right color.
Monsters Ball. Ring a Bell?
A case could be made that more world leaders than are not are dictators (Europe included). There are credible allegations that France is a dictatorship. Well more of a junta as they change the face of the big man every so often.
In Portland Oregon they arrest journalists fleeing from mobs.
Asking a parrot to think is like asking a paramecium to engage in philosophical thought.
Ah yes parrots.
A second story man, while driving through a middle class subdivision one Friday afternoon, noticed a family packing up their car, obviously going away for the weekend. He decided to come back after dark.
Around midnight he ducked in behind the house and tried to pry open the kitchen window. It opened and he stuck his head in and listened. It was all dark but he heard, "I see you and Jesus sees you."
Well he had seen the family leave so he went in the open window onto the kitchen counter and down to the floor, where he again heard "I see you and Jesus sees you."
Curious he worked his way to the doorway and flipped on the light. Again he heard "I see you and Jesus sees you." but what he saw was a parrot in a cage on its perch and a Rotwiler sitting on the floor.
Once more he heard "I see you and Jesus sees you." and then he heard "Go get'em Jesus."
Parrot sez:
try this to see if it fits
Once compared himself to Adolf Hitler, saying he would kill millions of drug addicts.
Cursed Pope Francis for traffic problems caused by the pontiff's visit to the Philippines.
For decades, he has allegedly been tied to "death squads" in Davao City.
Has declared that he will urge Congress to restore the death penalty by hanging in the Philippines.

Imagine killing those addicted to opioids in our nation..not just the dealers but addicts...how many murders would that be in Red States? but that is ok? how fucking
stupid do you get?
Did Senator Ronald Dela Rosa compare himself to Hitler?
Did Senator Ronald Dela Rosa curse the Pope?
Are you having an especially bad day at logical thinking?

Killing all the drug addicts has been done before in a country (Or at least parts of it). I do not advocate it although Obama implicitly has. That country was China. Britain and Democrat families like the Kerrys caused the addiction problem. No one said or implied by allowing Senator Ronald Dela Rosa to visit would greenlight or okay such actions in the US.
What did we lose by denying a visa to one man? Soft power. Each Officer or NCO can not only can teach technical skills but impart some of the American way of doing things. Foster goodwill. Now maybe those visiting military members will be Chinese, Russian or Indonesian. Good job parrot boy.
Of course parrot never had a homeless person living at his house or lived in a shithole country. So what would a parrot know The Phillipines. It has never been there. Probably does not know many people from there and until the NYT or WaPO print something about The Phillipines, he does not know what to think or know about The Phillipines.
Do you even know, where Davao city is? You don't, because you are a punk with all the intellectual heft of a snowflake.

What is wrong with the Death Penalty (DP).
If the DP is not wrong, then what is wrong with the DP by hanging?
I think when it comes to the DP, there is something wrong with your moral outlook.
Fix yourself 1st.
