I'm thinking out loud here, but

[kedrys]

Let’s think of the implications of a man who owes $1B to parties unknown and whose supposed empire is hotels and leisure in the middle of a pandemic. So OF COURSE he wouldn’t want to shut down the economy.

When the Southern District of New York is done with him, they need to ship him to La Hague to answer for crimes against humanity.

Just a thought.

1. I've been predicting that for over a year...

At least since he started putting children in cages. On day one, in the stack of EOs and declarations and such, there should be a resolution to join the ICC and let The Hague have him and all of his cabinet.

[AllaN01Bear]

18. and the upper levels of the republican senate .

[brush]

2. Agreed. Let The Hague add onto the years he gets for crimes against humanity...

for letting covid spread because he doesn't want his businesses negatively affected.


His so-called businesses were already negatively affect because he is running them...into the ground as he always does.

3. Spot on!

4. Pompeo withdrew us from The International criminal court a few weeks ago!

And sanctions them.

Interesting timing.

[avebury]

6. There was no official International Criminal Court when we helped

to conduct the Nuremberg Trials. When Trump goes to one of his properties overseas maybe some foreign country will arrest him for a similar trial? You never know.

12. I fervently hope so. He needs to be publicly

on trial for his crimes against humanity, from illegal refusal to let asylum seekers be heard, to American concentration camps and causing widespread deaths through deliberate disinformation in a pandemic.

5. However it shakes out

may his life be filled with lawyers.

[leftieNanner]

7. And only the kind of lawyers

That he can afford.

[Harker]

9. The ones whose ads

I drive past?

[bucolic_frolic]

8. Shutdown crashed the economy, flooded it with money, and lowered borrowing costs

Pretty advantageous to those carrying large debts

[marlakay]

10. If that Comey movie is true

There are many things he could go to prison for life for. It looked to me like he fired most of the group trying to check on him and his people. Even after it was proven what his senior adviser did with Russia he kept saying to Comey he was a good guy who did nothing wrong.

[infullview]

11. I don't believe we ever became part of the international court system

so I doubt that he will ever be brought to justice outside of the US for crimes against humanity.

[CaptainTruth]

13. I believe you are correct.

I remember GW Bush refusing to join, & it was obvious why.


I found this on the Human Rights Watch web site:

Is the US a member of the ICC?

The US is not a state party to the Rome Statute. The US participated in the negotiations that led to the creation of the court. However, in 1998 the US was one of only seven countries – along with China, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Qatar, and Yemen – that voted against the Rome Statute. US President Bill Clinton signed the Rome Statute in 2000 but did not submit the treaty to the Senate for ratification. In 2002, President George W. Bush effectively “unsigned” the treaty, sending a note to the United Nations secretary-general that the US no longer intended to ratify the treaty and that it did not have any obligations toward it.

14. We can add his climate denial that endangers countries all over the world.

From flooding on coastlines to the horrific fires in Australia, the Amazon and elsewhere.

[wnylib]

15. It's true that the US has always

refused to acknowledge the ICC as having legitimate jurisdiction over US citizens.

So, that means we don't cooperate on extraditing US citizens for trial at the Hague. However, if Trump were arrested while abroad, would we or should we fight it on his behalf?

So it's up to us here in the US to make sure he is charged and tried here for his crimes against humanity regarding the concentration camps and the pandemic deaths.

[brooklynite]

16. US Government (even Democratic Administrations) doesn't recognize ICC jurisdiction

[highnooner]

17. Add his leaning on the FED Chairman to lower interest rates

How does a man who owes millions save money? Lower interest!
