This made me laugh out loud, and I have to do a quick post. I heard successive guests and hosts on MSNBC desperately try to give puppet President Joe Biden credit for today’s cease fire and negotiated release of the Hamas hostages, including the Americans. They denied that Donald Trump had anything to do with it. Trump, you may recall, promised that “all Hell would break loose” if the hostages were not released by the time he became President. Inaugeration Day is January 20. The cease-fire deal goes into effect on January 19.
That’s just a coincidence, you see. Sure it is. “Elephant? What elephant?”
Would it really be so difficult for even the worst Trump-phobics to give him credit for what to any non-deranged observer is so clearly the result of his thinly-veiled threat and the belief abroad that, unlike some “red line”- drawing Presidents of the recent past, it is risky to call this one’s bluff?
Apparently it is too difficult. They would rather lie when the lie is obvious and indefensible than show the integrity to admit that the man they hate so much did something that worked. How unprofessional. How petty. How self-indicting. How stupid.
But funny!

They’ll break it first chance they think they can get away with it anyway. But you’re right, of course, that the Democrats are spinning this as a Biden foreign policy victory when it really isn’t.
when the left write thier history of this presidency, it will be of the Triumphalism since their defeaat in November. To paraphrase the Scripture. “The last shall be best and the first shall be ignored”
Nice try.
I think the jury’s still out on this. I wonder whether Biden’s last departing shot was to force Bibi to take this which has been on offer since May, evidently. Are all the hostages to be released immediately? Or are there two phases? I just have very low expectations anything good will come of this “ceasefire.” Isreali is supposed to pull all it’s troops out of “urban Gaza?” Yeah, right. Sure. The Israelis will be fine with that.
Biden couldn’t force Bibi to do anything—if he could, he would have done it before the election. It was not a great deal, but it only happened because of Trump’s deadline. The weak terms? That’s all on Biden’s watch.
