Since I didn't specify, I will help you comprehend: It means IN GENERAL for the timeframe I showed.

Your boy, working hard to reduce the cost of groceries:

This didn't age well and it's barely been more than an hour and Columbia tried counter threatening before Trump put his boot up their @$$e$ and they finally caved.

LOL - Trump solving problems in real time. A POTUS that actually negotiates from a position of strength, imagine that.

Wait, I could have swore somebody on here advised another that this exactly how Trump would utilize tariffs. I can't remember which parties were involved, but here you go.

MAGA reacts to migrants returning to Colombia after Trump ordered tariffs

Wow, talk about getting your money's worth. CalFire 2023-24 budget = $3b. CalFire 2024-25 budget projected to be $4.2b. Acres Prescribed burned: 23/24 = 131k Acres, 24/25 = 49k Acres (so far). $23M/Arce burned, I'd call that a bargain. Considering this is a multibillion dollar organization, they might want to invest in an improved website. This looks like something I could build and I wouldn't call the navigation intuitive.

Big Orange isn't playing around. Keep in mind a lot of this planning was occurring before he even won the election, so I assume that was happening on Trump's dime.

54 minutes ago, BBC reported this. Is it a tennis match now?

"Colombian President Gustavo Petro responded by saying he would impose retaliatory tariffs of 25% on the US.
Petro earlier on Sunday said he had denied entry to US military deportation flights. He said he would "receive our fellow citizens on civilian planes, without treating them like criminals" and migrants must be returned "with dignity and respect".

This is because of how weak Biden made America appear to the world. Now little ***** countries think they can dictate how we act. We should take over Columbia.

This isn't a tennis match, it's a game of poker and Trump is holding all the cards and all the chips, so Gustavo can bluff all he wants. Gustavo is taking his plane full of criminals back and all the posturing in the world doesn't mean shyt. If he wants to treat those criminals with "dignity and respect" have at it, but I hope Gustavo keeps in mind that we targeted criminals and *** offenders seemed to be really high on the list. If Trump delivered a plane full of *** offenders to my doorstep, dignity and respect would be the last thing they should be concerned about. I do have some sympathy for the "law abiding" illegals who got swept up in this, but that's on the heads of the idiots who decided that they didn't want to deport illegal immigrants that got caught committing crimes. I hope they clean up Aurora soon.

I haven't donated to Red Cross since I found out my money doesn't go to whatever cause they say it's going to and founding out their overhead is insane for a charity. Red Cross can f the f off.
