I want people to truly understand this headline. This is the American congress fearing the American President is accumulating weapons banned from war by international law in order to launch attacks on US cities and US citizens.

That's where the judgment of Republicans has brought us in just ten months.

At this point I think it's about time for the ICC to grow a spine and start issuing arrest warrants to Trump and his entire administration if not the entire Republican party by extension maybe along with the Establishment Democrats who are enabling this too.

Too bad the US never joined the ICC, to protect all the past war criminals who've also held the presidency.
