Sadly, “The Hague” is an unrealistic expectation for any US citizen, ESPECIALLY US military:
1. US is not a member of the ICC and does not recognize its jurisdiction over US nationals
2. The Hague Invasion Act (see below)
Let’s focus on what we ACTUALLY can & must do to hold them accountable!

You voted against SOCIALISM?! Letting Rs frame the narrative.
Great way to turn off the FEW remaining Dems who support you. SMH
I’d ask you to explain, but really… it’s pointless. You can’t unsqueeze the toothpaste AGAIN.

This piece is a good reminder of what the *responsible adults* did to protect our nation from a panicking Nixon’s meltdown
Sadly:
“…Pete Hegseth is no Jim Schlesinger, Marco Rubio is no Henry Kissinger, Susie Wiles is no Al Haig, and JD Vance is no Gerald Ford” 😳

MAGA’s #1 joy is hating on Brown immigrants. Their #2 joy is hating on Democrats
They’re NOT giving up their joys just bc of “a little” coverup & sex abuse of underage girls
After “grab ‘em by the pussy,” tax fraud, charity fraud, nat’l secret stealing, porn star paying, cop-beater pardoning &👇?

TBF, w/such repetition he successfully brainwashed ~1/3 of Americans that most Brown undocumented are rapists, murderers & pedophiles—despite data showing otherwise
That “grab ‘em by the pussy” was just locker room talk—despite being found guilty of doing just that UNANIMOUSLY
That all👇is NBD…

Grateful for our veterans, willing to suffer the horrors of war to protect innocents & freedom around the world.
I’m sorry this country has gone astray. But hopefully, not for long.

He knows he can depend on Brett & Clarence, bc “Hey a guy’s just joking around!”
And Alito, bc “Biblically, women are temptresses!”
And Amy, bc “She should’ve been supervised by a husband!”
But Roberts & Gorsuch?
Sadly, I’m afraid he already got assurances, otherwise he wouldn’t be pursuing it

While such fantasies feel good, IMHO they’re a distraction from what we badly need to focus on: What we CAN and MUST do, especially in the here and now

So why can’t he pay air traffic controllers so Americans can fly home around the holidays?
This is 4,000-5,000 flights cancelled PER DAY. Even those who eventually get where they’re going will face delays, cancellations, long lines, overbooked flights & airport chaos

“Breed baby breed!”…
But too bad if you or your child need healthcare!
(Or food assistance. And BTW, no need to vaccinate, so you take your chances on whether they make it to adulthood… because uneducated MAGA know better than decades of science!)

That benefit is ever-diminishing as utility companies try to maintain their profit margins
We just installed solar+battery in California, and the cost of any electricity we buy is ~6X what we’re paid for it—plus there are restrictions
The real benefit is not having to buy ever more expensive power

What bullshit.
You’re saying Kristol backed Trump since 2005…
First, Trump was a DEMOCRAT 2001-2009, donating to HARRIS for AG 2011 & 2013
Second, even if Kristol DID support Trump once, Trump’s since gone off the deep end in a way MANY if not MOST conservatives who DON’T need MAGA votes deplore

Great book. Really loving it.
I’m not done yet, so don’t know if you’ve addressed this issue but—is there any hope of smiting? I feel like smiting is MERITED.

The cult will accept ANYTHING from him
Even when he talks utter nonsense, is determined to start new wars
…denies food assistance to 42 million poor American—to use their HUNGER as shutdown LEVERAGE
While he throws a lavish party at his private club👇
Why? Because he “gets” their racist hate

While 42 million poor Americans faced going hungry — because he wanted to use their hunger as shutdown leverage
But MAGA won’t care, because they’ve been told it’s about “illegals” getting healthcare
