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

    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.

      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.

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

    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.
