Let's ask how many genders there are

[MOBIUS]

The spineless Colombians just backed down from human decency, I see 👍

Trump is clearly enjoying himself as the C*nt in Chief. Interesting to see how much Trump is already (and predictably) using the military...

This is going to be a long 4 years! 😆

[Dinner]

Two.

Two.

Wishful thinking.

[Geronimo]

Wishful thinking.

I will be shocked if the house and maybe the house and the senate don't both flip to the dems in 2 years.

[Dauphin]

Assuming there are elections and that Presidential power is not absolute by then.

[Lorizael]

I think Oerdin was answering the thread title. (You can tell, because he's wrong.)

[Dauphin]

Yes. But I saw an opportunity to corrupt his answer.

They did? Colombian deportees are no longer being flied handcuffed in military transports.

Or you think that crashing the Colombian economy just to out-trump Trump is somehow a good outcome? What am I thinking, that would lead to people suffering on both Colombia and the US, so of course you do.

So this is fake news then?

“The government of Colombia has agreed to all of President Trump’s terms, including the unrestricted acceptance of all illegal aliens from Colombia returned from the United States, including on US military aircraft, without limitation or delay,” it said.
“Today’s events make clear to the world that America is respected again.”

The US did not say this?

Just cos you don't like it doesn't mean it's not real/happening... 🙄🤦

Well indeed. Or certainly Putin style elections...

Or voters' minds will have been hopelessly captured by Trump's media oligarchy...

As you can see with the Trump Chumps posting on here 👍

Probably both. Certainly the elections won't be free and fair, as they haven't been in the US for a very long time already. Elbridge Gerry, anyone...?

But it's what the American people voted for, so... 🤷

First signs of Tyranny...

Arguably that was more than 8 years ago with Trump.

I did read that news, and the message from Washington.

I also read the news, and the message from Colombia's foreign office:



Given the apparent difference, I err on the side that is supported by photos of the deportees traveling on Colombian planes without handcuffs:

You're free to believe everything that Trump and his staff says, though.
