other than, you know, the whole supporting Israel and its genocidal acts thing
You can disapprove of the actions but supporting an allied nation with money or weapon sales is squarely a presidential act, nobody thinks presidents should personally be held criminally liable for their presidential duties.
Yeah, The Hague can try him if they’d like, but the United States has no evidence of a crime
That might be a crime against humanity, but it isn't a crime in the US criminal code.
convenient, aint it?
Charge Congress with that crime.
You know Trump is the one who moved the embassy to Jerusalem which is ultimately the match that lit the keg.
Right? These Russian or right-wing grifters would be fawning over support for Israel and Bibi's genocide if it was tRump in there right now. Fuck, the dude would probably have sent US troops to aid in ground offensives alongside the IDF.
It's tiresome, and I just want this collective nightmare for most, and wet dreams for others, to be over. The constant goal-post dodgeball game is beyond overplayed at this point. Anyone who still conflates what Biden is doing with regards to Israel and what tRump would do in the same position, are beyond help at this point, IMO. tRump supporters have, for nearly a decade now, refused to accept reality as it exists, and instead are perfectly content with tRump so long as he is hurting the right people. They simply cannot distance their ideology from their politics so they double-down.
This is why MAGA constantly thinks all those voting for Biden and the Democratic party are doing so because they are loyal to Biden and the party. Most of us voting for Biden are not loyal at all to the Democrats or Biden. We vote for whomever will move the needle toward the kind of world we want to live in. tRump absolutely will do the up opposite, we already know that from the first circus of an administration.
Whatever keeps that traitor out of positions of power is a good thing for this country, it's people, and the world. tRump is a weak-man's version of a strong-man. He deserves no less than jail time.
