If you arent familiar
we are not a member. Both Democrats and Republicans have denounced the ICC. You can read all about there here:

Assuming America is both allowed, and willing, to vote for a Democratic government in the future
.
Should we rejoin the ICC?
If so, would we be allowed to turn over Trump and company to them for crimes against humanity, or would that violate their fifth amendment due process rights?
Or should we just let our own legal system deal with that? (The track record on that is
poor)

(1,438 posts)It won't though. That'd mean extraditing US Presidents (and probably others) to The Hague for trial. That could impact the AmeriKKKan elite's expansionist ambitions and exploitation of people and resources in faraway places. That, in turn, might negatively affect the rate of increase to their investment portfolios. The elite's rate of profit could decline by ENTIRE percentage points as well, and wealth increases of HUNDREDS of AmeriKKKa's elite members.* In AmeriKKKan society.the rich MUST get WAY richer, preferably by this time tomorrow, at great taxpayer expense.
Why does AmeriKKKa fight wars abroad? To protect AmeriKKKan interests abroad.
Whose interests? The elite's corporations and investments. It's not to protect tourists.
Of the elite, by the elite, for the elite. Call them oligarchs if you wish.
Also, eat the rich.
