Posted on By benign0 31 Comments on Robredo camp to Filipino voters: Follow us because we are the “good guys” and we are SMARTER than you

This is the vibe one gets when observing the desperate house-to-house campaign the Yellowtard camp of Leni Robredo are now mounting under her daughter Tricia’s orders. The approach is one of condescension — as if they are on a Mission from God to evangelise the heathens. It is no different from the pretence of benevolence…

A call to action recently issued by Opposition “leader” Leni Robredo’s daughter Tricia Robredo (who is a woman) in a Facebook post has set in motion a desperate effort across the Yellowtard community to hit the road and campaign house-to-house.

Ukraine will win as surely as Bongbong Marcos will be our next president

Posted on By zaxx 56 Comments on Ukraine will win as surely as Bongbong Marcos will be our next president
