  1. The usual MAGA false equivalence tactics! When did Democrats send a mob to the Capitol, in an attempt to overturn a legitimate election? πŸ˜†
  2. That's what is understood as Mediterranean diet, and it's not Italian. How To Eat the Healthiest Diet in the World (Mediterranean Diet Meal Plan) https://www.mediterraneanliving.com/how-to-eat-like-youre-from-crete/
  3. Trump sent a Truth message about it. Nothing's buried.
  4. Trump's aides have already started to backpedal about it. US officials now say Trump only wants to displace Palestinians from Gaza temporarily https://apnews.com/article/rubio-immigration-guatemala-trump-border-deportation-f928f64eec96b46a880069cbd5580d34
  5. Not really in Italy. When I visit Italy, I am always surprised by the low number of fast food restaurants such as Mc Donalds.
  6. My point is that U.S. GDP is 72 times higher than Colombia. BTW, Trump obtained basically peanuts from Canada and Mexico.
  7. Exactly. He's now a nice target for Suni extremists such as Al Qaida, ISIS or the Taliban, who hate both Trump and Shia Muslims.
  8. Which is basically peanuts and could have been achieved by plain diplomatic contacts. On top of it, knowing that Canada is not a significant channel for Fentanyl trafficking and illegal immigration, t cannot have much impact.
  9. Wow! The superpower Colombia caved! 🀣
  10. Lol! Trump caved. They are doing what they already agreed to do before Trump decided to announce new tariffs. πŸ™‚
  11. About which the 2024 election results are irrelevant.
  12. We can agree that those tariffs threats were unnecessary B.S.
  13. It's actually relatively easy to deal with Trump's threats. One just needs to find the right m.o.! πŸ˜†
  14. This is what the EU imports from the U.S. and may be subject to tariffs if there is a trade war.

  15. It's not the reason for the decision made by Saudi Arabia. You are confusing with Trump's recent attempt to get OPEC countries to increase their production in order to squeeze Russia. Saudi Arabia wants to recover its market share (it's also a way to reply to some OPEC members freeriding by not respecting quotas).
  16. Complete B.S.!πŸ˜† To start with, the Mediterranean diet touted by nutritionists is not the Italian diet, it's the Greek diet from the Islands. Then the chart. It compares hidden cost per country without taking into account the population. Of course, the total cost is lower in Latvia, with a small population, than in Germany! t's completely useless, it must be calculated per capita!
  17. Also what a shame for Republicans and Right-Wing media who have been hiding for years that Trump was a megalomaniac who is unable to cope with reality! πŸ˜†
  18. The election is over. Now the hot topic is President Trump talking B.S. πŸ˜‚
  19. So $158 million between 2016 and 2022, to 61 countries. And Trump said that $50 million went to Gaza only! He made himself ridiculous again. Thank you for confirming that Trump was lying again! πŸ˜†
  20. You made yourself ridiculous again, you're wrong by 17 million votes! πŸ˜† BTW, the election is over.
  21. That's what Trudeau and Sheinbaum understood quite well! πŸ˜†
  22. Trump caved!
  23. His cult still believes he won the 2020 election! That says it all! πŸ˜†
