Posted 20 January Must say, I am not really a fan of US politicians, but this guy had the whole nation praying together within 20 minutes of his inauguration! Curious to see what else he can do to unite America! Did anybody get what Jennifer Lopez said? My Spanish is non-existent! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 20 January Didn’t hear it but there’s an old saying amongst Spanish ( the posh ones ) emigrants to Latin America and Spanish-speakers :” obedezco pero no cumplo.” ( “ Aye, aye, sir, but bollocks to you.”) I wonder if that is what she meant?😂 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And, no, that is not what she meant at all. Not funny. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
