Oh look! 25% tariff, to increase to 50%, on Colombia because they won't take our deported immigrants without a plan in place to treat them with dignity and respect. The petulant baby is having a tantrum so up go the prices on coffee. Colombia is one of our long-standing deep allies in the region.
He's an idiot.

Maybe I'm missing your point but threatening tariffs wasn't the solution, nor is bullying other countries/leaders. He's a thug.The solution was to agree that people aren't chattel and should be treated with dignity.
 
And that's what's wrong right now.
The United States has become a mockery of its former self. It takes a bully to stand up to a bully.
I'll take a bully running the country over a guy that doesn't know what year it is.

well this is at least a good attempt at trying. but this will not solve the issues of immigration and higher food prices. if anything it could contribute to the higher food prices.

for one the homeless are just that....homeless. for those who do not understand this term, these people do not have a place to call home. so where do you expect the money will come to pay to provide housing to these homeless people who pick the fruits and vegetables?

and second a majority of homeless people either suffer from mental illness or some sort of addiction being either drug or alcohol....or both. so why do you think that the homeless people would even qualify to replace these immigrant workers? so if you provide some health program to get them back in good health...whether mind or body....will also cost money.

so yeah SMH

here is google translation of your previous post:
Bogotá, January 26, 2025



The Government of Colombia confirms its participation in the Extraordinary Assembly of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), scheduled for January 30. This meeting will be an opportunity to address strategic issues for the region, such as cooperation on migration, the protection of human rights and the strengthening of relations between member countries.

In preparation for this summit, discussions have been held with *Honduras*, the country that holds the presidency of CELAC, in order to promote a regional approach to migration challenges and guarantee conditions of dignity for the citizens of the region.

At the same time, the Colombian Government, under the leadership of President Gustavo Petro, has arranged for the presidential plane to facilitate the dignified return of the compatriots who were to arrive in the country this morning from deportation flights. This measure responds to the Government's commitment to guarantee dignified conditions. In no way have Colombians, as patriots and subjects of rights, been or will be banished from Colombian territory.

Additionally, the Government has convened a *Unified Command Post (PMU)* on migration, in which representatives of the *Ombudsman's Office, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Presidency of the Republic* will participate. This space aims to establish and review protocols that ensure the dignified treatment of deported Colombians, guaranteeing that the procedures respect the human rights and integrity of each person.

The Colombian Government is also in active discussions with the United States Government, seeking agreements that ensure minimum conditions of respect and dignified treatment for compatriots during deportation processes, recognizing them as subjects of rights.

Colombia reaffirms its commitment to the protection of its citizens and will continue to lead regional and international efforts to find humane and fair solutions to migration challenges.

which basically means that Columbian has backed down from its potential tariff war with the US. it does highlight that the deported be treated with dignity and condition of respect.

you would take a piece of sh!t to run our country? you would take a guy who cheats, defrauds people and companies, who lies, who will destroy our Constitution, who pardons traitors who threatened the US Government with violence????

many here were bitching about our economy under Biden. i doubt i will hear any bitching about it under the felon's reign.....even when the economy goes to shit.

this is what i foresee in the near future. our grocery prices will not change but get worse. and when it does, you folks here and everywhere will still blame Biden....somehow. you guys will not point the finger to the fellon as it will be him who should take the blame.

so like i pointed earlier, i hope you like your oj expensive, because that is exactly what will happen as crops get left behind due to work shortages.

just remember, you guys wanted this...you are gonna get it.

Adams = wire fraud and conspiracy charges, accepting flight upgrades and other luxury travel perks valued at $100,000 along with illegal campaign contributions from a Turkish official and other foreign nationals looking to buy his influence.
 
so how does all that mean that food prices will be higher? i fail to see the point? if you want to talk about politics other than food prices, then i suggest that you post a new thread and not de-rail mine.......thanx.
 
These people need immediate psychiatric help.

“Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) is a colloquial term used to describe intense, often irrational reactions to former President Donald Trump and his actions. While not an official medical diagnosis, it reflects heightened emotional responses that can affect individuals’ well-being.

Recommendations for Managing TDS:
1. Engage in Balanced Media Consumption: Diversify your news sources to include a range of perspectives. This approach can help mitigate bias and provide a more comprehensive understanding of events.

2. Practice Mindfulness and Stress-Reduction Techniques: Incorporate practices such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or yoga to manage stress and maintain emotional balance.

3. Seek Professional Support: If feelings become overwhelming, consider consulting a mental health professional. Therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can be effective in addressing intense emotional reactions.

4. Engage in Constructive Dialogue: Participate in respectful conversations with individuals holding diverse viewpoints. This can foster understanding and reduce polarization.

5. Focus on Personal Well-Being: Prioritize activities that promote personal happiness and fulfillment, such as hobbies, physical exercise, and spending time with loved ones.

By adopting these strategies, individuals can work towards managing intense reactions and fostering a more balanced perspective.
