Alright, I’m not crazy; I swore there was, in fact, a warrant issued for Bibi by the ICC, which is the correct way to handle this. (Honestly, with that and the warrant for Duterte both out, this is gonna show if the ICC still has any teeth. We need to know if they can still be relied on.)

WHYYYYYYYYUUHHHHH

See, this is something that can’t happen in the USA (yet,) but is easy-peasy in the rest of the world.

Don’t give avowed authoritarians positions of power. Yes, their membership in a hate group can be used to limit their opportunities. You make a choice by joining a recognized hate group, you gotta own it.

……except in the USA, where hate groups are just fine and dandy for governmental spots. (Perhaps encouraged in some cases.)

Yet another thing the rest of the world gets right that we’re sorely behind on.

I’m so proud of LA right now.

Those of us on the opposite side of the country may or may not be ready, as well, when our time comes. (And it’s definitely a “when.”)

Note that none of these policies ever involve “giving.” It’s all taking this away, means-testing this, banning that, etc.

Hilariously true. Anyone who puts actual faith in those guys or relies on them for anything is insane. (Or just desperate as fuck, which Russia may be becoming.)

I can’t help but think back to when Musk was threatening to cut off poor, remote areas in South America from Starlink over petty shit. Yall want THAT guy to be your friend? Yikes.
