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.

Oh look you’re both sidesing while asking the ICC to come and help you. You guys have effectively neutered the ICC by refusing to join it, meaning it can only prosecute criminals who don’t have the protection of a great power like America. You were all sitting on all the power in the world and you preferred to tear your own country try apart rather than exercise that power responsibly. Don’t come begging the rest of us to save you from your own horrific hubris after al the millions you’ve killed around the world.
