It's basically the Hard Rock Café of catastrophic policy decisions (This might solve the puzzle)

"It's basically the Hard Rock Café of catastrophic policy decisions." –Jon Stewart on the Bush Presidential Library

"I guess that's better than its original title, Disasterpiece Theater." –Jon Stewart on the "Decision Points Theater" exhibit at the Bush Presidential Library

"Lebanon. Our president, President Bush, has rejected calls for an immediate cease-fire on the grounds that he'd prefer a 'sustainable cease-fire.' It makes sense. He doesn't want the killing to stop until he's sure it will stop. So, there will be more killing until the president's convinced that there will be no more killing. Or everyone else runs out of people." --Jon Stewart

it’s never a good sign when your shoes have a muffin top (30,000 times in the Nice Guy files)

President Trump continued to flail without a strategy on Monday, after he again took to Truth Social to write: “We’re offering a very fair and reasonable DEAL, and I hope they take it because, if they don’t, the United States is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR NICE GUY!” Yes, it’s important that he said that, because up until now, Trump’s been known as Mr Nice Guy. In fact, he’s mentioned over 30,000 times in the Nice Guy files. —Stephen Colbert

We’re in week eight of the Iran war, and as of tonight it is unclear if US-Iran peace talks will happen one day before Trump’s ultimatum expires. The talks were supposed to begin on Tuesday in Islamabad, Pakistan, but based on what we know now, it doesn’t look Islama-good, because on Tuesday afternoon US negotiators delayed their trip, and Trump announced that he was indefinitely extending the ceasefire. The president claimed he was not worried about the deal, posting on his Truth Social platform: “I read the Fake News saying that I am under ‘pressure’ to make a Deal. THIS IS NOT TRUE! I am under no pressure whatsoever, although it will all happen, relatively quickly! Time is not my adversary.” Oh yeah? Have you taken a gander at your ankles lately? Because it’s never a good sign when your shoes have a muffin top. —Stephen Colbert

We’d be better off with Alvin, Simon and Theodore (special son-in-law)

On Wednesday, Donald Trump named JD Vance as lead negotiator in ceasefire talks along with special envoy Steve Witkoff and “special son-in-law” Jared Kushner. What a trio. We’d be better off with Alvin, Simon and Theodore. —Jimmy Kimmel

“How is this negotiation even going to work? This is a government of religious fanatics who don’t believe in democracy, and they use domestic security forces to terrorize their own citizens: and now we expect Iran to negotiate with them?” —Jimmy Kimmel

it was considered a good day if Joe could locate the hole for the straw in his juice box (basic grammar)

In mere weeks President Trump's done more than Joe Biden did in his lifetime. Granted, it was considered a good day if Joe could locate the hole for the straw in his juice box. —Greg Gutfeld

Donald Trump has never been so popular and that's because he's a man of action not a man of traction. Which is why the media is constantly playing catch up. They literally can't keep up with him. When he's working on ceasefires in Ukraine they're still pining over deported criminals. So, as a Democrat media complex sinks they look to the Signal story as a life preserver, and they're going to beat it to death like Jasmine Crockett does to basic grammar. —Greg Gutfeld

The hardest part was convincing both sides that he was still the president (Tropic Thunder)

President Biden said that the Israel-Hamas ceasefire talks were one of the toughest negotiations he had ever experienced. The hardest part was convincing both sides that he was still the president. —Colin Jost

Robert F Kennedy, Jr. Trump's nominee to lead the nation's health agencies will have his Senate confirmation hearing next week. RFK has been preparing for the hearings by setting his tanning bed to Tropic Thunder. —Colin Jost

What you're really getting (extra toppings)

Chicago became the largest U.S. city to call for a ceasefire in Gaza, and in return, Gaza called for a ceasefire in Chicago. —Michael Che

Black History Month started on Thursday. Twenty minutes late. —Michael Che

A Pizza Hut in Canada has gone viral after employees posted a sign on the door explaining that the location was closed due to ‘Unforeseen Circumcisions.’ It was obviously a misprint because Pizza Hut loves extra toppings. —Michael Che
