In the latest update from the ever-stable world of international diplomacy, Donald Trump has announced that the Iran ceasefire is alive, well, and currently being kept alive by a metaphorical ventilator, three extension cords, and sheer optimism.
“Massive life support” is what the President of the United States called a ceasefire he negotiated. His ceasefire. His words.
Iran submitted a counteroffer. It was called garbage before anyone finished reading it. That’s not diplomacy. That’s a man who needed a win and doesn’t know what to do now that he has to maintain one.
A ceasefire isn’t a deal. It’s a pause. And right now the pause is being held together by the same thing that got us here: the hope that nobody does the next stupid thing before somebody figures out what comes after.
Two earnt the first place for me, with the others breathing on their necks. The famous yellow ribbon (Tony Orlando ...) and Canada overrun by guns. The times where open carry means an open beer tin may be over.

The satire lands because the reality earned it.
Reminds me of the old joke about the minister visiting you in the hospital and standing on the oxygen tube.
I’m wondering what the statistics are for the Canadian shooters and the victims.
It's sad that it's happening at all. The question is, how do you make the smuggling stop?
Tough call on that. It’s like trying to stop drug smuggling. I could expound on it but it would be just so much hot air.
As usual, spot on! Thank you!

The mediator has the exact facial expression of a customer service employee realizing the call is definitely being “escalated to management.”
Meanwhile the global economy is sitting in the corner like, “Can everybody maybe stop scream-crying for five minutes so oil prices can calm down?”
