Yeah, they will accept deportees on civilian flights but Trump decided to use military flights because he needs to show his toughness and things are going down. He did this with Mexico and Brazil too.
Trade Wars have begun. Colombia refused to let a military plane of deportees land and Trump imposed a 25 percent tariff on goods from Colombia. Colombia responded with a similar tariff.
Colombia supplies 27 percent of our coffee beans. 80 percent of the flowers sold on Valentine's Day also come from Colombia. The U.S. also buys 19 percent of Colombia's cacao.
Canada is a “country that should be a (US) state,” reiterates President Trump. “They’ll get much better treatment, much better care and much lower taxes, and they’ll be much more secure.”
Ah yes, I will show my resolute and impeccable moral character by reading about Native Americans being detained and harassed by ICE by mocking a statement from a Democrat. That is how I will show my belief in decency and dignity of all people.
Is there anything Trump can do that would get you to respond with something that is not trolling?

1. "Another detail out of FDA. The agency has removed pages which provide guidance to medical researchers on conducting medical trials with representative numbers of men and women and ethnic and/or racial minority groups. I think most people know this: but this isn’t a matter of symbolic diversity. Many medications and/or diseases or conditions present differently in men and woman and in people with different genetic backgrounds."
2. "In order to combat the scourge of “DEI,” the DOJ yesterday indefinitely suspended observance of events like Black History Month, Women’s History Month and other long observed (and one would imagine fairly innocuous) commemorations."

Well that was depressing read. There are some good ones out there like AOC, Raskin, Van Hollen, and Murphy but there is a lot of ruderlessness right now
And the trillion dollar question is what does the military do when it receives such an order because I know they might not be liberals but surely they would know that such an order is lunatic. One hopes at least.
5 current and former senior European officials briefed on the call said the conversation had gone very badly. “It was horrendous. He was very firm. It was a cold shower. Before, it was hard to take it seriously. But I do think it is serious, and potentially very dangerous”
1. He is discussing ending FEMA which is basically telling states "you are on your own." He did this in North Carolina a state that voted for him.
2. He is still going on and on about Canada, Panama and Denmark/Greendland.
3. He basically demanded Denmark, a NATO ally cede Greenland to us: https://bsky.app/profile/tomcoates.bsky.social/post/3lgiyyv4okc2v
And probably stuff I am missing,.
At this point I expect he is going to order the U.S. military to do something very stupid, very destructive, and very "are we the baddies?" that the U.S. military is not going to want to do and we are going to see how they respond.
But the too cool for school crowd will still insist that showing worry about these things is worse than them actually happening because the worst thing in their minds is not appearing calm and collected and showing a sense of dread.

Let's look at Trump today:
1. He is discussing ending FEMA which is basically telling states "you are on your own." He did this in North Carolina a state that voted for him.
2. He is still going on and on about Canada, Panama and Denmark/Greendland.
3. He basically demanded Denmark, a NATO ally cede Greenland to us: https://bsky.app/profile/tomcoates.bsky.social/post/3lgiyyv4okc2v

His overall damage. Nothing good comes from Trump. Nothing.
