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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
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.
That's all the rules!

My question is, how long before Trump is declared a war criminal by other countries? Why aren’t other countries trying to bring true justice to him?…. My personal answer is that there isn’t anymore true justice.
Americans voted this asshole into power, if the rest of the world had any backbone we would be isolating the US from international trade via harsh sanctions & retaliatory tariffs, so once unemployment hits great depression levels in the US the people would stand up and solve the problem themselves.
Instead, countries like mine are lining up to kiss his ass because our leaders are neo-liberal pussies who are bought by the same ownership class as the American Democrats, and thus can't fathom the idea of a slight drop in profit.
What justice was served by the Trail of Tears? Or by the MOVE bombing? Rainbow Farm?
Justice has always been one sided.
Damn good points. Justice is through their eyes not the public’s
Pretty much every President since Roosevelt can be argued to have been a war criminal, so I don't see why countries would suddenly start holding the US accountable.
Previous presidents' war crimes didn't crash the entire global economy. Want people to care? Fuck with their money.
Never was. Your favorite US president was likely a war criminal.
They're cowards and so theyll probably do it only once he's lost power.
