President Trump is pardoning a convicted Honduran drug lord who openly boasted that he would "stuff the drugs right up the noses of the gringos," and push drugs into America.
This is the most pro-crime, pro-corruption administration in our country's history.

Invoking "color revolutions" as a boogeyman like this really goes to show how much these guys have cooked their brains on Russian propaganda specifically.

It is *lunacy* for the ostensibly liberal opposition party to say we shouldn't limit any individual's wealth and power after watching a cadre of fascist billionaires systematically destroy this country. That's probably the single most important thing we *must* do!

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

People really, really need to let go of this idea. The ICC is not a Magic Court of Final Justice, and no American president, GOP or Dem, is going to hand over American officers.
I expect the mass pardons that will come, will require us to sign and ratify the Rome Treaty and join the ICC, so they can face justice that way.
