Donald Trump is definitely serious about tackling corruption...

Weird take.

Not really. It is literally what several Republican think tanks have proposed for years. You have to end the corrupt cultures of those organizations so clean sweeps are needed with agencies formed after that are clean. Better yet end duplication and streamline everything while restructuring funding and regulations to prevent the new reformed agencies from getting captured like the old ones.

Why? The socialist dip **** in Colombia caved in exactly 39 minutes flat. Turns out he will allow his own citizen criminals to be deported back to their own country after all. I imagine those 39 minutes were spent with his lead economic advisors explain to the socialist ******** how their entire national economy would be in depression unless he accepts taking his own criminals back. Yet another win.

That's a weird take, given that Colombians are no longer deported handcuffed in military planes.

[-Jrabbit]

Correct. Biden sent nearly 2 planeloads a week back to Columbia for several years, but you won't hear him get any credit for it. These were scheduled flights, commercial, and they were ongoing. There was negotiation to eliminate putting the rejected immigrants in irons. The only thing Trump needed to do was continue this successful and ongoing approach. But Trump changed it to an unannounced military flight. Just, apparently, for the lulz.

Do you think the Donald would welcome an unannounced military cargo plane from, say, Brazil, demanding to land in MIami? Of course not. No sovereign nation should be expected to welcome foreign military flights.

americans are really dumb (don't take it personal many people are)

they have a system where they allow billionaires and homless people and now the billionaires have them convinced it's the poor peoples' fault for all their troubles

When one is so eager to leave home I'm sure he's compromised morally. Or maybe fed up I'll give him that

but it's not like the brightest minds left for the new world as it turns out

[giblets]

Unfortunately every country is this susceptible to propaganda.

[Bereta_Eder]

and it's a real shame byecasue 80% of americans I met in my travels are the kindest souls

Makes you wonder where Dinner gets his news

[The Mad Monk]

Gee... maybe some of the people who depend on ACA for life saving medical care... You know, all the "little people" that he claims he's for, but instead cuts off their option for medical insurance. Maybe if he had a "plan" to make up for it, that would be something else. But he doesn't, and is no closer than the last time he promised it.
Just the first example of many of how he's going to screw the less fortunate while helping his rich buddies.

I could not afford my diabetes meds without the ACA. It would be over $36,000 a year, and that is just meds, not doctor's visits and insurance premiums.

Trump is just a puppet for the rich people... like himself. People will die and be worse off because of his policies that favor the rich.
If you aren't rich and white, you are just out of luck.

It seems that no one is holding back the evil this time.

In the meantime, with Trump putting a stop to essentially everything the NIH does just because, clinical trials for experimental cancer treatments overseen by the National Cancer Institute can't go forward. Which means there will almost certainly be cancer patients who are going to die because their last hope was denied to them. There are any number of reasons why a clinical trial for an experimental cancer drug might not receive funding, but "Fauci was mean to me on TV" is emphatically not one of them.

Back to mass deportation. Apparently some undocumented immigrants are too dangerous to deport back to their home country, so we're just going to detain them in Gitmo indefinitely without trial.

We're going to start killing people real soon.

They are here illegal. They commit crimes. Trump campaigned on getting rid of them. People voted. Trump won. If you think this is bad blame the puppet for letting things get to this point. Ding Ding the puppet is gone.

[Lorizael]

No, I'm going to blame the person doing it and the people who voted for that person.

[My Wife Hates CIV]

People who voted Trump were blaming the puppet. The puppet and his supporters made Trump possible. It's also the insane who appointed Harris next in line. You got a long list of issues before Trump.
