I look forward to watching MAGA trying to figure out whether or not the ICC are a legitimate body now.

MODERATORS
If only. We have seen for years now that MAGA can hold multiple contradictory opinions at once with fevor.
It's fucking horrifying how many people just glaze over him circumventing congress to "sell" arms to Israel when there was publicly available evidence that US arms were being used in a genocide.
He openly and flagrantly violated US and international laws, and all it did was make it harder to convince people trump wasn't as dangerous as he is.
Lowering our standards doesn't get more Dem voters, but it costs enough for someone as ahitty as trump to get elected twice.
Trump is worse, though. They're not even upholding the supposed ceasefire and are pushing the Palestinians out with tanks, now.
Not saying Biden didn't shit the bed, but nobody with any functioning brains cells should have allowed Trump to win if they actually gave a single solitary fuck about Palestine.
Trump can go too
There is an overton window which is normally shifted right by the Republicans. Democrats took such a massive leap to the right under Biden by supporting a genocide that it has become fully normalized.
Trump would have taken such massive flak for it. But Biden used his election season to hush opposition and force them to accept genocide or concede the election.
Trump literally already supported the single state genocide solution in his previous term, and Biden never once supported single state.
Ya'll are just bad actors trying to dissuade people from voting for progress.
Illegally giving arms to genociders doesn’t feel like progress.
But I should know that the US will always support a genocide if they can make a buck.
Fuck this country.
Talking about dishonesty while making the most dishonest arguments.
Most of the World Agrees Israel’s Occupation of Palestine Must End. The U.S. Is Fine With It.
Trump is worse, though.
Do you think Trump could get this many Americans on board for paying for a genocide when we don't even have healthcare?
Republican voters were for it, but not the "moderates". Nothing trump could have done would have gotten more than Republican support.
Biden normalized it and when high ranking Dems do shit like that because 5% of Dem voters and 100% of Republican voters want it...
No one stops them.
All Biden did was make Trump's current handling more acceptable to the general public because for four years they've been saying what Biden has been doing isn't that bad.
Despite violating multiple US and International laws.
You yourself, right now, are defending it and downplaying how bad genocide is, even if you're not trying to.
You're choosing to spend your free time downplaying the genocide of millions of fucking people.
Because at least it wasn't a Republican doing it.
Congrats, you now understand exactly how MAGA can support trump despite trump hurting them. You might not realize that tho.
There are little to none Moderate Republicans. 50 of them confirmed Hegseth, who literally unapologetically thinks killing off every Palestinian is the solution, and all of them consistently vote against socialized healthcare.
Biden earned that golden pager. trump just received it for some reason. Trump is continuing where he left off and it fucking gross. Both are evil when it comes to Gaza
US Presidents being War Criminals is a long and celebrated tradition. Biden is not the first or the last US president to follow that tradition.
Throw em all in prison then. Justice plays no favorites.
Go ahead, try to throw one in prison. Justice is a lie.
You really haven't been paying attention to the news lately.
I hardly think what has been occurring in the news counts as justice.
The fact that Donald Trump a) was allowed to run for president despite being disqualified by the 14th amendment and b) is not in prison shows that justice does in fact play favorites.
No, it shows that justice does not exist in the United States.
But this is just semantics, we agree that something rotten has happened.
Yep.
Obama is the closest thing to a "good" president in my lifetime...
Still a fucking war criminal.
They’re legit unless they’re investigating Trump. If they’re investing Trump then they are communists.
Do it
I got a whole list of war crimes supported by US presidents and cabinet members if the ICC wants it.
At first I read "Ukraine", and I thought 'yeah, whatever'. Then I read ,"Gaza" and I thought, 'yeah'.
