Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I guess the US is getting some of the treatment they've been dishing to other countries when one of their government employees or military members commits a crime there.
Like that one lady in the UK that killed a teenager in a car crash. Or that one US Embassy employee that failed to stop at a stop sign and killed a famous local musician in Romania. He was acquitted of manslaughter in the US. Or when two American pilots in Italy cut the cable of an aerial lift by flying too low and caused the deaths of 20 people. They were also found not guilty of manslaughter in the US. And many other similar stories from around the world.
Apparently now it's not cool when people commit crimes in your country and use diplomatic immunity to avoid justice.
The US is and always has been a huge dick when it comes to the behavior of Americans abroad.
Bush set up a law allowing the US to invade the Netherlands if any US military member was held there to be tried by the ICC. Let's just ignore the fact that if you're held there that you're extremely likely a real monster who committed horrendous war crimes, in the US a court will simply declare you innocent and that's that.
