It’s even more stupid than that

Looks like Biden allowed 424 deportation flights to Colombia with 124 in 2024 alone. These were all on non-military aircraft and cleared by the Colombian government.

Trump by contrast ordered two unannounced military flights in defiance of regular international protocol which were refused. And here’s the kicker, the Colombian nationals being deported were all detained by the Biden administration and scheduled for deportation before Trump even took office!

Columbia is a strategic US national security partner in South America and runs a trade deficit importing over a billion $ in corn alone from US farmers. It’s quite likely Colombia will now look to China as a more reliable trading partner.

So Trump is chest thumping over this mess which hurts national security and the US economy all to show how tough he is with an ally whose entire GDP is a tenth the size of California. To further demonstrate his petty narcissism he posts an AI photo of himself as a gangster to taunt others.

I guess at least we get to watch Dr Phil ride around with ICE in a bizzaro episode of COPS where the MAGA faithful cheer on a made for TV prime time event then blame the liberal media for the skyrocketing price of food, all because Trump told them the sky was green.

Sweet Jesus.

I stand corrected its only 20 times per week. But according to a recent study by Johns Hopkins, it happens more than 4,000 times per year, at a rate of 20 times per week.Even a rookie carpenter is taught measure twice cut once.
Surgeons are waay smarter...like you.....and you are scared of bugs? OMG what a pus.

Plumbers solve more problems than a bs artist like you....and deserve the money. Keep crying

The numbers you’re looking at refer to “wrong site surgeries” which include very small errors, actual wrong limb amputations are very rare in the US these days.

I had one of those common little yellow sac spiders land me in the hospital once. Generally I’m a friend of spiders but not these, they deserve to die.

Just last summer painting my house on a 32' extension ladder can of paint on a hook and a brush in my hand I enraged the bees and hornets under the rake boards. Smashed some of them with the paint brush the others just snagged and smashed with my free hand. I think I went eleven for twelve with zero stings that morning. OK my lumber just showed up.

That’s impressive actually. My knees aren’t great, I can’t do high ladders.

How did you enrage the bees, I’m guessing you tried to impress them with your amazing artistry?

Enraged them by painting to close to them and doing a good job of it ......same way Im enraging this group of ............um gentlemen.

Nice work

I really do wish I was there to see it. Usually when I enrage the yellow jackets I try to talk them down or perhaps appease them with a bit of overripe fruit. Honestly this never works and I end up getting stung.

As an aside, I was just thinking, you do realize that Trump’s push to make the Fed cut interest rates, start trade wars, extend tax cuts for the rich, kill solar and wind energy development, halt Biden’s infrastructure spending, unpend the agricultural labor supply, disrupt scientific research and international collaboration on infectious diseases, slash government spending for food and assistance programs for the elderly and poor, cut Medicaid…god I’m out of breath…

You do realize this is going to absolutely pound the working people you declared have “spoken” right?

Asking for a friend.

Nuance and facts don't matter Jeff. Because Dr. Phil wasn't out rounding up immigrants with Joe Rogan under Biden's term, it didn't happen....

You certainly are a mini me Trump. You don’t seem to realize most of this thread is discussion between democrats and in my case independents. It’s what Americans do after a change in any administration, especially when the new president ignores the law, fires people (democrats and his on appointed republicans) simple out of spite. Trump claims countries are emptying their prisons and sending them to the US, but you don’t see the hypocrisy as he does exactly that.

Instead of focusing on what everyone seemed to have voted on the economy, he is opening up investigations on cases and crimes already adjudicated, simply because he is the one who needs that pacifier. And then there is you, the angry MAGA nut job, not making much sense, but throwing as much venom and insults as he possibly can at anyone having a civil discussion about what’s going on. I’d tell you what that proves about you, but I will leave the insults to you, you are certainly a professional at it.

Truth, first thing authoritarians do is rewrite the history books.

It seems like that is what most of your posts have been - insults.
