    What would justice look like? I’m genuinely curious. There isn’t a court outside of America that can hold the president accountable, and the other option is war, which would be deadly on a massive scale. It’s insane that impeachment hasn’t happened yet, and unless the legislative branch does something to remove the cancer from the White House, then I don’t see justice being delivered.

    This whole situation is a nightmare.

      Sure there is.

      Literally any country that has had one of its citizens involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking can issue a warrant for Trump’s arrest and prosecution as an accomplice / co-conspirator.

      Why the fuck not?

      If we can kidnap a President of another country, and try them, for domestic crimes… so can anyone else!

      That’s the precedent Trump just set.

      Why respect really any international laws or norms, when it comes to the US?

      We don’t!

          Ah but why didn’t we?

          Oh, thats right.

          Because laws and norms are a formality, a kind of etiquette, a masquerade, nothing more, really.

          Power does whatever the fuck it wants to, justifies it however it wants to.

          If it doesn’t do something… it’s because it doesn’t want to.

    The global south is so ruined and in so much turmoil almost exclusively due to the damage caused by powerful countries in the north
