    Happy for the 20 Israeli hostages and thousands of Palestinians hostages who are released under this deal. But having your friend pulverize a dude until he's almost dead and then breaking it up before the actual death blow isn't exactly peace maker material. Maybe if he got us any closer to where Palestinians don't live in a state of perpetual occupation, I could give him some credit.

    Prior to October 7, Gaza was not occupied by Israel.

    Trump does deserve credit for brokering this deal. Israel was acting recklessly and the strike in Qatar seems to be what prompted Trump to corner Netanyahu. Trump likes Qatar (free planes!) and they're an important regional ally. Israel had to be reined in and Trump did get this done. For all of the accusations that Israel controls our Middle East policy, the image of Trump forcing Bibi to apologize to the Qataris over the phone was powerful.

    Reporting suggests that Netanyahu didn't think Hamas would agree to the deal and was shocked when they did. But, think about it from Hamas' perspective: all of their leadership who was involved in October 7 is dead. Gaza is destroyed. They're just as tired of fighting as the Israelis. This gives their current inexperienced leadership a chance to regroup. The goal of "destroying Hamas" was never going to be accomplished because that's targeting branding. What's left of the group is a shell of its pre-October 7 self.

    What comes next will be huge. I'm not confident in anyone's ability to pull it off. But, yesterday was meaningful. If you know my posting history you know my feelings on Trump. But I'll give him credit here.

    MIAMI (AP) — FIFA has announced the creation of a peace prize, which it plans to award at the draw for the World Cup on Dec. 5 in Washington.
    The award, called the FIFA Peace Prize, will “recognize exceptional actions for peace,” soccer’s governing body said Wednesday.

    A joke of a man. I hope you’re proud Trump supporters. Spending finite time of your life bouncing up and down on his shriveled nut sack. Pretending what he does makes sense.

    Some presidents are just wasting away a lot of the population's time.

    If Netflix is smart they'll do a live special where they give him an award ASAP. Paramount does it first...they get WB.

    If he’ obsessed on putting his name on everything… and all the future statues/effigies that are already being commissioned in his “honor” as we speak…. Simply have the DSM (and all other references) change any mention of narcissism to trumpism. Or just make malignant narcissism = Trumpism.

    Pretty sure the DSM people will agree to that… in honor of him.
