GOP Rep. invokes Charlie Brown football analogy on Iran ceasefires
Rep. Carlos Gimenez likened Iran's latest ceasefire offers to the Peanuts gag where Lucy pulls the football away from Charlie Brown, saying "Charlie Brown, kick the football" and "Until I see it in writing I'm going to be skeptical." Gimenez said the United States should require written, enforceable terms before accepting any pause in hostilities, because verbal promises leave room for reversal. The analogy signals Republican skepticism about trusting Iran and underscores demand for concrete guarantees before lawmakers will support diplomatic pauses.
GOP Rep. Carlos Gimenez: "I think Iran has another Lucy or two in them -- 'Charlie Brown, kick the football,' and then you yank the football at the end. Until I see it in writing I'm going to be skeptical"
Helen Kennedy200I wish someone would ask him: Sir, which one is the dumbass in the Lucy-Charlie Brown football scenario?
Jacqui V31Oh really? We had it in writing with President Obama sooo….
bluebaronbbb.bsky.social16Can the adults please come back Into office now please
ttice.bsky.social14I’d be skeptical too and I think the problem is our President lying rather than Iran pulling the football
scosky.bsky.social12*psst, it's not Iran doing that
Liberal Donald J. Trump7“Skeptical” is cute. This is Lucy, Charlie Brown, and a stadium full of broken promises. Let’s not pretend the credibility vacuum came from nowhere. Taco’s market manipulation whiplash turned diplomacy into a meme. Nobody trusts the scoreboard anymore when he’s been shuffling the numbers mid-game.
Miss Kitty 🌈🌈🌈7I think politicians comparing global conflict and death to Peanuts are children wearing expensive clothes.

Jo6My guy, I’m pretty sure that the man who is trying to make a deal like he is a contestant on The Price is Right looking for audience guidance for the most popular outcome in order to one up a black man who teased him like 15 years ago is the Lucy in this scenario
Dingo Jackson4We've seen it in writing, dipshit.
Chris Merkel4So he thinks America is Charlie Brown? Yikes.
mark (and his) dope devices 🇨🇦3Put Charles Schultz in charge
Woz3And i'm sure once Trump is gone they will all say they were only there to contain him. Fuck all these morons.
Paul A.3It's neither a good nor apt analogy. Stop using it, thinking you're being profound.
Ma Joad ✌️3So why does Trump continue to be Charlie Brown?
CJ2There is no deal. They’re not even at the negotiating table. Why are we still entertaining the obvious lies of a narcissistic serial liar experiencing rapid cognitive decline??
Middlerage2Because it's all BS! bsky.app/profile/midd...
Danger Mouse2Another Trump fake peace agreement to something that isn’t a war? How can there be peace if there is no war?
asturianfarmer.bsky.social2another Lucy or two? I am no expert, but propably know as much as our uninformed congress people, and I don't think this situation will be resolved until after Trump is out of the White House.
Abster2Haha, this fool thinks there are actual negotiations taking place.
