Politics Dave Columbo donald trump iran war

This comedian’s savage explanation of Donald Trump’s Iranian ceasefire is today’s must-watch thing

We can’t be sure about much regarding the Israel-US war with Iran because the Trump regime narrative has had more changes than Chelsea’s starting line-up.

Current discourse surrounds the alleged ceasefire – which has been marked by claims and counterclaims about what is or isn’t part of the agreement.

BLATANT LIE CAUGHT ON CAMERA:

Karoline Leavitt: "Lebanon is NOT part of the ceasefire agreement".

FACT: Literally the PM of Pakistan, who mediated the ceasefire, tweeted out that it WAS included. He's literally the one who witnessed the deal.

a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate

oh, so a ceasefire is like when i say i’m going to stop eating cheese

“Ceasefire” going swimmingly

Trump doesn’t read. This practice extends to ceasefire agreements.

The brilliant Dave Columbo, who does a weekly round-up of what’s happened in Trumpworld, made a sketch to help the rest of us understand what’s going on with the ceasefire – sort of – and he barely tweaked reality to turn it into satire.

Trump can't bullshit his way out of this one. He bit off more than he can chew, and we can all see it.

Thank you!!
An artfully done, funny-not funny clip that I hope lands in the inbox of every member of our ineffective Congress.
