Subject: Re: Columbians to allow deportation flights
Jesus H. Fuck, we’ve being governed by ill-tempered imbeciles and illiterates.
the thing is, Donny created this problem — where none had previously existed — just by being a dick. the Biden Administration had been sending deportation flights to Colombia for years, without incident.
Colombia accepted 475 deportation flights from the U.S. from 2020 to 2024, fifth behind Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and El Salvador, according to Witness at the Border, an advocacy group that tracks flight data. It accepted 124 deportation flights in 2024.
the Biden people, of course, treated their deportees with respect. but showing kindness and dignity to fellow human beings is a bridge way too fucking far for Team Donny — because cruelty, as always, is the point.
the White House, of course, is misreading the situation and taking an unearned victory lap — and the worthless scribblers of the corporate-controlled media are only too happy to play along.
--“Today’s events make clear to the world that America is respected again,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on Sunday announcing that the Colombian government had agreed to accept flights of deported migrants from the U.S. after President Donald Trump threatened steep tariffs.--
you’re not respected, you insolent fucking bullies. you’re loathed — and not just by Colombia.
welcome to the opposite of diplomacy. say hello to governance by hissy-fit and tantrum.
since taking office, Donny has given the finger to our staunchest allies, and created chaos up and down the western hemisphere — just because he can. because he gets off on creating chaos, and being the biggest asshole in the room. the last seven days have been an absolute foreign policy nightmare.
