  In light of recent events, other countries should drag Trump to the ICC and thence straight to the gallows.

    Oh and guess who isn’t part of the ICC?

    I’d like to see these “other countries” drag Trump there. How? With what? This isn’t Star Trek, you can’t beam him mid-poop to the Netherlands.

      If we can’t do it legally, we’ll just have to do it illegally. What’s important is that it gets done.

        I mean, he’s set the precedent - apparently it’s now allowed for another country to just snatch the leader of a sovereign nation and run off with them

        I am a 4x year old father that voted for Kamala l, and my 11 year old son does a lot for various charities without me asking him too. He’s been choosing a charity to help children, LGBTQ, immigrants/refugees, etc for the past few years by selling lemonade during the summer with 100% of the proceeds going to the charity. I am involved with groups dedicated to opposing ICE and authoritarian groups in the USA.

        I may be White and male, but not all of us are monsters or want this.

  Iirc this is an actual (as in offical and described in legislation) lever the EU can pull, unfortunately regardless of public sentiment many of its leaders are beholden US economic interests.

    They are becoming less beholden by the day for reasons Doctorow laid out.

  Yes but they’d rather make money with the usa then do the smart thing

    They’re making way less than they could be because of lopsided “free” trade agreements.

    • goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Still more than if they had to also implement some of the stuff

  Like, all IP? That seems very dangerous.
