“Looks like Colombia saw reason quickly.”

If I didn't know better I would say Presidents Trump and Petro arranged to perform a dramatic skit on the world stage to make President Trump look good.

Petro looked pretty good for the first 45 minutes; then lasting ignominy.

Petro must be less developmental than Kamala or Joe Scarbrough. I sit here shaking my head.

Maybe it’s folkways, cultural differences, translation problems, or something else — but he just sounds bat-crap crazy.

Petro may have responded quickly, but he’s still a slow learner, as are many of the President’s opponents. Sooner or later they’ll get it through their thick skulls that Trump means what he says. He can’t make it any more simple than that.

He will learn that Trump can be your best friend, or your worst enemy.

Same thing for my husband. A nap after church and so much happened. He thought I was making it up when I told him.

It is constantly amazing how the most corrupt leaders take the moral high ground as if they never did anything wrong in their entire lives.

I’m not too sure what sending his own plane accomplishes other than sending the purely symbolic message that he prevented American planes from landing in his country. I hope he realizes this is just the first of many flights.

Or at least make them reimburse us for the cost of flying them there.
