I’m still no closure to a format I like; we also start week 2 with me and a back that hates me!
sigh.
Anyhoo, we covered the US leaders baby tantrum with Colombia where he threatened to punish American’s cause he got his feel hurt over Colombia demanding their people be treated humanely, in the comment sections of both the noon post and the Post it Note…
Where it stands now…

*Google translate says:
Chancellery official statement The Government of Colombia reports that we have overcome the impasse with the Government of the United States. In this context, Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo and Ambassador Daniel García-Peña will travel in the next few hours to Washington, D.C., to hold high-level meetings to follow up on the agreements, the result of joint work and exchange of diplomatic notes that They occurred today between the two governments. We will continue to receive Colombians who return as deportees, guaranteeing them decent conditions, as citizens subject to rights. The Government of Colombia, under the direction of President Gustavo Petro, has the presidential plane ready to facilitate the return of Colombians who were going to arrive in the country today in the morning, on deportation flights. Colombia ratifies that diplomatic channels of dialogue will be maintained to guarantee the rights, national interest and dignity of our citizens.

As result of the social media fight between nations, of course elected leaders weighed-in.
To “punish” Colombia, Trump is about to make every American pay even more for coffee.

Remember: *WE* pay the tariffs, not Colombia.
Trump is all about making inflation WORSE for working class Americans, not better. He’s lining the pockets of himself and the billionaire class. https://t.co/gcAomtzmCb
Texas Senator John Cornyn responded with…
Is this a parody account? https://t.co/aoI8FoFUUI

AOC is not wrong. Import tariffs harm Americans; retaliatory tariffs also harm Americans.
I’m gonna move on to something entirely different…
Yesterday, right as the tariff threats were made by our dear leader, a House bill was brought to my attention.
It’s H.Res 59…
The title:
H.Res.59 – Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the sermon given by the Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde at the National Prayer Service on January 21st, 2025, at the National Cathedral was a display of political activism and condemning its distorted message.
The text:
As a reminder President Shitshow and his cult got super offended when the Right Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde had the nerve to ask the leader of the free world, to show mercy to vulnerable communities.
But, but, but, free speech!
Speaking of elected leaders…
In response to President Shitshow breaking the law by firing a number of Inspector Generals, some of whom he had appointed, Senator Lindsey Graham said on Sunday, that sure he broke the law, but hey, he has the authority to do it…
WELKER: Do you think Trump violated the law?

LINDSEY GRAHAM: Well, technically, yeah pic.twitter.com/NqN8qDspUQ
Moving on from an elected Senator shrugging off the law breaking of the current President to…
The government owning 50 percent of TikTok…
The weekend that TikTok went dark for less than 24 hours, Perplexity AI submitted a bid to ByteDance the parent company of TikTok to merge in order to keep the app available to US users.
Then President-Elect Shitshow posted on his Temu Twitter that he would like the US Government to own 50 percent of TikTok…
Yesterday, Perplexity offered a new bid that would give the US Government a 50 percent stake in TikTok.
New bid for TikTok from Perplexity AI could give US government 50% stake https://t.co/D2yUgAtMjM

But we can’t fund NPR, or PBS, cause that’s state run media!
For What It’s Worth: I want it made clear that whether or not the US can access TikTok the site will still exist everywhere. America will not be able to access the site. I feel it’s important to note this, because President Shitshow seems to think otherwise.
I’m skipping over posting the new “shitshow shitposts” that have been posted at the White House, but I did swing by Temu Twitter…
