It finally happened. After weeks of threats and rumors, the Trump administration has sanctioned the International Criminal Court—hours after Navi Pillay, a former judge in the ICC's Appeal Chamber, won the Nobel Peace Prize, as @reuters.com points out.

Their intimidation tactics have already begun near ballot drop box sites. But groups are suing to keep them away, and we will not be dissuaded from casting our votes. If anything, our determination to vote will increase. Who’s with me? Story: buff.ly/4232S1M

Trump: "Annie 'Trannie' Andrews is running against our wonderful Darline Graham for the Senate in South Carolina ... Trannie is not for South Carolina, and South Carolina must show, in the upcoming Election, that it is not for her."
Annie “Trannie” Andrews is running against our wonderful Darline Graham for the Senate in South Carolina. For years my dear friend Lindsey would say that, “Darline is the finest, most reliable, and one of the smartest people I have ever known.” He would then always add, “Also, the most loyal!” Oftentimes I would be upset with Lindsey for saying this, because I thought I had all of those qualities. In any event, Darline is a High Quality person, maybe the Highest, and Annie Trannie is not, in particular, as it pertains to representing the Values of the Great People of South Carolina — She is in favor of Transgender for Everyone, Open Borders, Defunding the Police, High Taxes, a Weak Military, and will absolutely fight to take your guns away — In other words, she is against our Great Second Amendment! Trannie is not for South Carolina, and South Carolina must show, in the upcoming Election, that it is not for her. VOTE FOR DARLINE GRAHAM — SHE HAS MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT, AND WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
