After fighting against an opulent empire, Washington was designed by the framers to be stoic and humble -- simple white buildings with Greek (democracy) and Roman (republic) design. Not only does this look suspiciously like the Kremlin, it goes against what the framers intended.

Absolute Immunity should not exist for Trump, Hegseth, and Miller with regard to these reported war crimes committed in Iran (or elsewhere) - IMO, these three in particular should be officially sent by the U.S. government to Iran where these crimes were committed to face trial or punishment.
