Well, it's started

The headline on MSNBC this morning said “Trump’s Triumph.” Trump issued a statement that the Gaza deal will lead to “everlasting peace.” Uh huh.

Look for the media 24-7 fellate-a-thon, ala “Mission Accomplished” bullshit, including Trump’s demands for a Nobel prize.

1. I don't think it will hold, and I don't think he gets any Nobel Prize.

That's my opinion on that. Supposedly, the Peace Price will be announced tomorrow.

I had to shut it off. How only Trump could do it. They said over and over that Biden couldn’t do it.
How wonderful Jared Kushner was in securing the peace deal. Blah Blah Blah
It is sickening!

6. CNN's headline is something like "HOW TRUMP WILLED IT TO BE."

So I guess he can bend spoons with his mind, too.

His will was just too powerful for the opposing sides to ignore.

There's no way to avoid it...the "messaging" on this is cast in stone.

They change their collective minds with every presidency. This is more like a "presidensity", as some comic strip character of my youth call it anyway.

It was only when Shitler re-emerged as a candidate that they started getting nasty again. Your memory is short.

Repeat ad nauseam, or ad infinitum, whichever you prefer.

The only peace deal that lasted any time at all was the one Carter did. Now HE deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. Neither Shitler nor Bibi deserves it, nor will they get it. It's already been decided anyway,. So there so now, as we would say in Wisconsin.

Is a president who is currently using his nation's military against his own people eligible for a peace prize?

12. They can sign whatever they want. What happens afterwards is the reality

Call me a cynic, but my guess is the leaders of Hamas sitting in luxury in Qatar took a head count of their remaining supporters, and decided it would be more profitable to get onboard with the new Kushner/Palestinian Riviera plan than continuing milking Iran and religious hardliners.
It also allows the leadership to turn a blind eye when their malcontents cause Troubles in Israel, keeping tensions up and Bibi out of jail. "Oh, they're just a few Dead-Enders..."

13. The genocide over there has the stench of Donald Trump and the Republican Party all over it.

People in the media are fools if they can't see it. And if they would get their heads out of their asses, they could report it to the World at large.
