Trump says Colombia backed down and will now be treated however he decides to treat them. Edit - Maybe he is running a different strategy that I had imagined and he's trying to make Colombians associate the USA with disgust. So no matter how bad things are in Colombia, the USA is the last...

Maybe it is always darkest before the dawn? Uh....I can't remember how fast he said he would get grocery prices down. He said he would stop the Ukraine War in 1 day and a lot of people are wishing that day would dawn.

I was pretty similar to you at one point. I had seen some of Rocky 4 and 5 as a kid and had some rough understanding of how the series went. I bought 1-5 when 6 was about to come out and watched the whole series with a couple of friends, one who had some them all and one who had seen none...

So I reviewed the list of top Colombian imports and it is funnier than I thought. Fruits and Vegetables as I said. Coffee as others said. But the biggest is petroleum, both crude and refined products. So. To summarize. Colombia wants its deportees to come in a civilian flight and...

Really?

Dude froze all foreign aid for a 90 day review whether we are getting what we want for a money. It would be a good time for someone to remind him that what we used to get for aid to Central America was no caravans.

Not for 3 more days.

I'm glad it wasn't a missile strike. What do we import from Colombia? I would guess fruits and vegetables. Trump is killing two birds with one stone. This will make it harder for Colombians to make a living in Colombia and raise groceries prices in the United States. Unfortunately, we...

https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden-israel-bomb-gaza-hamas-war-023b36984c6116c128b5e47f117bba2a Do I remember right that influential Arab-American groups said to vote for Trump because Kamala was too soft on Israel?

There was a court ruling way back that people point to that says to accept a Presidential pardon you have to admit guilt. I don't know the circumstances. I'll look it up sometime. But that to me feels like a judicial overreach. To me the most sensible understanding of the pardon power is as...

Trump would not have a major disaster in the next 4 years, a Democrat would win the next election and there'd be a freak hurricane in February and they'd be like, "It was never like this when Trump was President"

The question is crooked. He could probably go more than 100 down the ranks before one agreed, but one won't do. By the time he found an ambitious major willing to become the head of Trump's Corrupted Army, who is going to be implementing the orders?

I think his base is more likely than average to enlist in the army and less likely than average to be commissioned. There might be a lot of privates and corporals that would be excited to invade Canada. Way less than the majority. Maybe a few second lieutenants. No Generals or Colonels...

That complaint could have been about any Federal agency and of COURSE FEMA could be better. But it still sounds like the M that is bothering you and not the F. Telling 3 climate change denying states that they're gonna have to raise their own taxes to pay for the hurricane destructions sounds...

I am really not sure whether he can appoint his son the head of the army. It isn't a good look, for sure. But I'm not sure he can't do it. I doubt he can, though. But the head of the army just does what the head of the army does. To take over Canada you are going to need several Generals, a...

https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/24/politics/north-carolina-trump-disaster-relief/index.html Trump is so weird on FEMA. Did he intentionally leverage North Carolina stuff to help win the election? And now he is telling North Carolina that maybe we should get rid of FEMA? And the problems in...

My mind starts to boggle when I think about this. So much is based on NATO countries staying good. The bad guys are supposed to be outside. I do think Trump would have a very difficult time with generals, even if he started firing them. In his first term that worked. They would just tell...

Speaking over here where I am totally safe from this angle of Trump, it will be interesting to see what he does. My gut has been wrong about him before, but I generally think on this he is satisfied with accusations and innuendo. In the eyes of his favorite supporters, Biden is already known...

No, water always flows down. If we open the valves, northern water, certainly all of it in Canada, IS going to come down.

The USA doesn't have a "system".
