The true lunacy is the world breathing a sigh of relief with this psychopath still in office.

When the hell did it become normal for our government to announce a major thing like a ceasefire on f-ing truth social???

What is the meaning of a ceasefire for which:
1) There are no terms defined
2) One of the principle parties, Israel, has no intention of ceasing a damn thing.

I shudder to think what horrors await us tomorrow with this psychopathic man occupying the White House.

Reports frame the move as france "modernizing," rather than an FU and one more symbolic end of critical alliances that have promoted security and prosperity of the U.S. in unity with liberal democracies against illiberal forces since WWII.

Justice matters.

One of the spouses whines and whines and whines the other spouse doesn't want to help commit war crimes, and threatens to steal the sovereignty of the other spouse's sister-in-law (Greenland) by force if necessary...

What's left to do with that "union" but to divorce like in "stop the constant whining like toddlers do and you better not "grab" my SIL's territory by the... or... boom boom boom?"

Feels like 1939's abject horror movie's premiering!

What the hell else would any sane person expect from a so-called "ceasefire" for which 1) there are no terms defined, and 2) one of the principle parties, Israel, has no intention of ceasing a damn thing???

It's less than seven months until the election, and a couple more months until the next congress is sworn in. I just hope and pray he can be kept from blowing up the whole world before then.

If he can be prevented from blowing up the world for few more months
