Pretty sure Trump could be added to the arrest list. If they're gonna be threatened, what's stopping them from adding him?

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 1 points 6 hours ago

They can easily add him and Hegseth, for the crime of indiscriminately attacking boats.

[-] NihilsineNefas@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 hours ago

Isn't that also a crime? (Not that he's known for following laws)

[-] MrNesser@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

whiney little bitch boy

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

This is fascism. The United States is now a fascist country. If you didn't vote, or made some third party protest vote, you voted for fascism. Now there's no going back.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Always was.

We have literal days out till the next voting cycle, please let's just do everything in our power to ensure everyone is properly registered, especially people in states without grace period registration like Mississippi and Alabama. Thank you for taking the time in understanding that most red states are actually just rigged purple states who make it as hard to vote as possible in order to suppress voter turnout. We can beat fascism, we just have to have more group coordination, less splitting over certain issues, and remember that if we all vote midterms all the time eventually more citizens will start taking every election seriously.

I live in a red state, and Id like to share what is done here to make sure there are plenty of R votes.

They put a lot of polling places in nursing homes. This means Ida and Jim can roll into the elevator and head down to the lobby to vote, while the people with jobs have to wait in line outside. They don't have to find a ride, there are probably more people in the nursing home than there is waiting in line outside, and guess which news network is on the TV in the lounge/cafeteria all the time?

I really hate the red states. I did five years in Idaho, would not recommend. I say it like I went to prison on purpose, living in a Mormon community where their men beat their wives and abused their children.

And it may be a matter of time we hear about a 'Trump arrest warrant' for bombing Iran illegally and speaking flippantly with threats against the ICC.

[-] kingkong@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago

the esptein class flock together.

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago

What's ge gonna do? Rename it?

[-] No1@aussie.zone 13 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

"And that's why today I've put a 5000% tariff on the ICC. Nasty people. And they are banned from my press conferences too."

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 4 points 21 hours ago

I hope he kicks the UN out of the headquarters in New York and they say "you can't fire us, we quit"

Or he threatens to rename the UN unless they give into his demands and they say "that's funny, go away, grown-ups are talking"

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 4 points 20 hours ago

Trump probably thinks the "United" of theUN is named after the USA...

[-] hexdream@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago

Flappity flap, always talks crap.

[-] KeithD 12 points 19 hours ago

He's already sanctioning a number of ICC judges, apparently. US companies are legally barred from providing them any services, which has more impact than you might initially expect.

[-] mHtt@lemmy.ca 64 points 1 day ago

So here in 2026, The US and Israel MUST be allowed to rape children and commit war crimes.

A lot of the far right really hate Netanyahu, including some MAGA, so it will be interesting to see how this goes with them.

[-] tirateimas@lemmy.pt 102 points 1 day ago

Is he afraid he could become the next target of an investigation/warrant of the ICC?

Anyhow the world is changing very quickly and nowadays not doing business with the united states or not using the dollar, is less and less of a problem.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

I genuinely believe that conservatives hate the ICC because they know that the US would have to answer for all its crimes if the ICC had power over the US.

[-] Carl@anarchist.nexus 7 points 1 day ago

While I agree on the surface, these sanctions also include any American companies. You can’t use most email providers, because most are based in the US. You can’t use any debit or credit cards, because MasterCard and Visa are both American companies that will block your access. You can’t use any cloud storage providers, because they’re all American. You can’t have a Google account for your phone. You can’t even use a Microsoft account to log into your Windows PC.

And sure, lemmings will say that all of those are good things. We’re happy in our little “self-host everything, delete all the cloud accounts, avoid being tracked by any means possible, etc” bubble. But the average person barely even knows how to open a web browser, and panics when their password needs to be reset.

It basically forces you to live as a Luddite, because the vast majority of the internet, modern banking, etc will (at least tangentially) touch American commerce in some way. And the average person isn’t even close to being well-enough prepared for that kind of upheaval.

Israel and Russia really have him by the balls don't they?

[-] Jhex@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

honestly, he is so dumb they may have just buttered him up a bit

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

Epstein was working for Mossad, and Trump ran the exact same sort of child sex trafficking org, with Russian aid.

So yes, they have a lot of dirt on him, but he's also a narcissist. A very stupid and evil narcissist.

[-] Arcanepotato@crazypeople.online 16 points 1 day ago

The approach towards the Netanyahu warrant is no change to US policy and law which explicitly lists Israeli government officials as an "covered allied person" who the US can use "all means necessary" to free from detainment or imprisonment by the ICC. It prohibits "support" of the ICC which includes provision of services.

So that predated Trump by quite a bit.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

Personally, I'd like to see them try. Let the entire world see their corruption. Make it clear the USians are not allies of ours, not anymore.

Why isn't the existence of this law enough? It's been around since 2002. It's not like the other countries don't know about it, it came from failed negotiations with the US to join the Rome Treaty. They made their stance clear at that time.

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

That warrant was created 2+ years ago. This seems a bit delayed.

[-] hexdream@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

Probably got lost in the spam filter waiting for approval at the evil league of evil.

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It only just registered in the imbecile paedophiles, ahem, 'brain'.

Criminals sanctioning justice

Why are these people afraid of the International Criminal Court? Are they international criminals? 🤔

[-] Tarambor@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Sweeping sanctions could prohibit the court from carrying out transactions in dollars, cutting it off from the global financial system and drastically undermining its work

If only there was some other currency it could use such as the Euro or British Sterling which are also widely used worldwide.

Any entity-wide sanctions imposed by the U.S. Treasury would prohibit U.S. citizens and companies from providing funds, goods, or services to the court

I'm not seeing that as a problem as any government or organisation outside of the USA is already looking to reduce or eliminate entirely reliance on US tech,funding, goods and services.

[-] im_fine_sandy@nord.pub 12 points 1 day ago

Hello Americans! It's totally normal for innocent people to avoid their day in court. No red flags at all.

[-] Chrglstr143@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Oh noooo, anyways

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago

Pedophiles protect one another

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

Wow. An international criminal protecting his international criminal ~~blackmailer~~ friend. Who woulda thunk?
