From the WSJ: “Trump Ramps Up Bid to Dismantle International Criminal Court” My take: Because of his Golf Course in the Irish Republic, which is part of the EU. He could be arrested there and taken to The Hague for a War Crimes trial, and the Irish would do it. They hate Trump too

We thought we were better than the Germans, “it could never happen here”. But it has, and a half-wit failure of a conman has dragged our country from the mythic “Shining City on the Hill” into a pestilential village adjacent to a landfill. There is a possibility of redemption, or is there?

Some Palavi scion spoke at Clown-PAC the irony is beyond belief. Reza Palavi (his father?) ran an oppressive regime until thrown out by the Ayatollah Khomeni in 1979. The Iranis lived under the terror of the Savak, the Irani gestapo and they traded one oppressor for another they didn’t see at first
