Yeah Columbia got what they wanted and Trump got...nothing. The media is acting like Columbia backed down but reality is the media is basically trying to sane wash Trump in order to not lose access to him. Cause they're all cowards.

Ironbite-Trump blinked and he's going to continue to blink because he's an idiot.

Memos to Federal Employees Were Written By People With Ties to Project 2025, Metadata Shows

James Sherk and Noah Peters appear as the authors of memos sent by the Office of Personnel Management.

The memos calling for tyrannical snitching of the people who acquired their positions because of DEI initiative were written by RACISTS? I'm shocked, sir.

One of the Jan 6 rioters Trump issued a pardon for has been shot dead during a traffic stop after an altercation with an officer.

That almost makes me believe in karma as long as I don't look at who's in the White House.

That is a very messy story for a redhat to have to digest. Did the pardoned rioter misbehave with guns? Do police shoot people prematurely because they get scared? Would it be better if this guy was in prison?

You give the redhats a lot of credit suggesting that they might try to digest any of this.

Colombia didn't back down, and is in fact running an investigation into how their nationals were treated by the deportation.

At least for starters the change made is that Colombia sent two of its own planes to the USA to pick them up.

It is hard to see how Trump could see this as anything but a victory. Flying an airplane is more expensive than most people think about it being.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Colombia refused landing to american military planes. Trump might look like he won: but he didn't. Getting chewed out on the international stage for trying send people somewhere in ******* chains was not a win.

But he's still sending them. In the end, the means to the end really don't matter.

This was 110% a win for Trump.

Imagine someone tries returning product to Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart refuses the return, because the merchandise has been abused, so it's not in alignment with the return policy.
The customer says "I'll never shop here again unless you turn these." The next day Wal-Mart drives to the customers house to pick up the product and return it, but posts online about how the customer was the worst.

Did Wal-Mart win or the customer?

Everyone already knows who Trump is. Columbia posting "Trump is a mean jerk with no respect" is shouting into the void.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Colombia set the terms for the problems trump is making: and colombians don't get treated like cattle when being deported. Would it better if none of this was happening? Yup, but succeeding in making sure your people are treated like actual people is still a win.

Trump's federal funding freeze on hold — as ‘chaos, confusion and fear’ grip Chicago

A federal judge temporarily halted President Donald Trump's move to freeze all federal grants pending an analysis to root out "wokeness" in federal spending. But confusion reigned Tuesday in Chicago and beyond as leaders braced for serious potential cuts to an array of major programs.

chicago.suntimes.com

Medicaid is frozen and shut down in Illinois, they're just the first to report it, but I'm hearing it's happening across the board.

This is going to kill so many people. I hope those who voted for Trump understand these deaths are on their hands.

 

[Ungnome]

Quite a few Trump supporters USE Medicaid.... It's beyond stupid...

 

[Rhinox]

I do wonder what the end goal of this particular move is. This is exactly the kind of thing that sends people to the streets with torches and pitchforks. And there isn't really a way Trump can spin this onto someone else. This was executive order. (an illegal one, as Congress spends the money, not the president, but I digress)

What comes next? We're literally one day into week 2. FFS.

 

[M. Virion]

Beyond just human lives, the amount of jobs dependent on federal funding goes WAY beyond what one would expect.

If this holds we're potentially going to see a depression by summer.

Just had confirmation Medicaid portals are down Florida as well. This is for sure all 50 states. Just beyond evil.

I mean, not just over your side of the lake, but all over the world. Everything is interconnected. A global recession (at minimum) seems inevitable this year.
