I’d say logic is very much subjective as well. Arguments that you may think are logical, will be illogical to others and vice versa.

“My father once told me that respect for truth comes close to being the basis for all morality. ‘Something cannot emerge from nothing,’ he said. This is profound thinking if you understand how unstable ‘the truth’ can be.”

AFD now the second biggest party in Germany. Results pretty much in line with polling.

Hey, when have the far left and far right both growing in power in Germany ever led to anything bad happening?

Also, in the 1930 election there was also another far right party that came second with about 20% of the vote…

The centrist parties have an unspoken agreement to never co-operate with the far-right, in particular. That may provide some hope that Germany doesn’t get subjected to AfD rule.
Not like they’ve tried that before

Ex-Philippines President Duterte has been arrested and will face the ICC after he was deported by the Philippine government. He’s been charged with the murders of hundreds of individuals during his crackdown on drugs in the Philippines, where the police were given open reign to shoot anyone suspected of being involved. It comes after a breakdown in relations between the Duterte clan and the Bongbong clan after years of working together. They initially indicated the ICC had no jurisdiction in the country before agreeing to get rid of him.
Amazed Marcos let it happen! Maybe a way to weaken Duterte the younger politically?
Also major clashes occuring in Syria over the past week. Still not a lot known about the situation. Government forces are claiming Assad loyalists have banded together on the Western Coast and started firing upon security forces in multiple cities. Some areas were taken, before Government troops came in. A number of media sources are suggesting it may have also been reprisals as there’s reports of entire families being killed. The main fighting occurred in Christian and Alawite heavy areas. Although the Assad family did come from an Alawite minority which ruled with the regime.
Very much looks like it. They had an alliance and then it’s all gone up in the air. The Vice-President is a Duterte and their alliance essentially meant that Marcos would become President, Sara Vice and then Sara would eventually become President with their support. I’m assuming the Bongbong family is happy with power and wants to stab the Duterte family in the back.
Basically politicians are cunts whenever you go
I have President Bongbong’s mobile number somewhere, one of his family members (niece iirc) applied for a job with us and put him down as a reference. 
No “referees available on request” and heads-up, just had him listed on the CV.

We just had a whole bunch of individuals from Gazprom apply. I’m assuming a few of them would have 100% been dodgy as they were senior lab managers trying to get out of Russia
