My coffee addiction is happy, but I also really hope this is not the whole story. If world leaders let President 🤡 think he won by being the loudest bully in the school yard, we are truly doomed.

He lies about everything. I don't trust that he won't sign it as soon as he feels they've "gotten rid of the undesirables"

Ironically, was just in Cartagena and so thankful my wife convinced me to get coffee!

Why is he pausing? What’s he up to?

Countries taking in migrants is one of the biggest punches to U.S. MAGA wants migrants to be rejected so they can populate their concentration camps with slave labor.

The more people that leave the US, the weaker it becomes. Why do you think totalitarian countries prohibit citizens from leaving?

Isn’t that what our prisons are for? Firefighting and all

juanitaquien.bsky.social•35 days ago

Imagine if all the people targeted to be imprisoned would up and leave. Who would fight fires, work the fields, serve your McDonald’s?

Did you get the blueberry coffee? I hope you enjoy it.

These countries can not cave in to this BULLY!! They need to stand their ground!!

I guess the tariff threat will be his “tool” for “negotiating” with other countries. This is ridiculous.

My expectation is that they will be making more trade deals with China and India. Mexico certainly is.

They should not have been made to leave…! He’s doing this in Israel… and he’s turning up the heat over here… …

For every Colombian we send them, they should send American back.

I want other countries to stand up to our government, but I'm afraid of what our government will do with these people if they can't take them back to their countries of origin. I don't want harm to come to these people.

I agree with you. This is painful to watch and feel like I have no recourse

Colombia will look for other countries to export to. Trump will isolate us from the world. We will be like Russia, failed economy with nukes.

If they can handle nearly two million Venezuelans they can handle some from here too.

I WILL give up coffee for this! It is my adhd medication. I can use chicory that grows in my yard or buy from Native American sites.

It is a shame Colombia backed down, but the truth is Colombia needed to receive its people. Petro has also advised that the 15,560 Americans must work out their immigration in order to remain legally in Colombia. I also hope they raise their prices to the US.

They didn’t “back down.” They rescued those deportees from American concentration camps.
