Well this seems to have taken off - if you're interested in how atrocities are covered up and forgotten, I wrote a book about the worst massacre in American history that you have never heard about: Bud Dajo 1906 (more people were killed than at Wounded Knee and My Lai combined).
-
I would think that when the president of a nuclear armed country threatens to annihilate an entire country...that threat itself is a crime against humanity.
-
Agreed. But don't stop there... jury sanctioned rapist, fraud, coward, bully, protector of pedophiles, grifter and felon... Now we are warming up...your turn
-
Bernie knows. The problem is lots of people still think America is righteous and saying "again" would confuse and distract them.
-
You are correct. Issueing such threats is indeed a war crime. It is also terrorism under the laws of many countries, including the U.S.
-
amerikkka is a war crime. All it knows how to do is commit war crimes. And now it’s beginning to commit war crimes against its own citizens.
-
I'm praying that it's 2 more minutes...🙏🙏💪❤️🐾🐾🐾❤️
-
America has a trail of blood 🩸 following her…from the beginning to the present we’ve taken every opportunity to kill innocent people who we perceived to be in our way. I suspect we’re not gonna want to stop now. The faces and races have changed but sadly not much else.
-
“Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival and no hope of future greatness or generations?” Donald Trump at the UN yesterday where he confesses to and threatens war crimes. “…no hope of future generations”…. Every man, woman, and child dead. Truly insane.
-
Trump is doing illegal things. IMPEACH and jail him.
-
I hate to tap the 'heart'...but this is an example of US history we NEED to know, along with slavery, Jim Crow, Japanese internment, immigrant dehumanization, massacres & destruction of independent Black, Latino and Indigenous communities. How else will our collective conscience kick in for change?
-
Can we also talk about how Trump's war against Iran accomplishes a couple of things - 1. puts Iran under fire, which is what Trump's puppet master Netanyahu wanted, 2. increases petroleum prices which means Russia will make more money on what oil they can sell
-
To stop Trump, he must be impeached and removed from office now, "with all deliberate speed." VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO THEN SIGN THE PETITIONS AT EITHER: impeachtrumpagain.org or citizensimpeachment.com or pathtoprogress.us/impeach or Moveon.org or Change.org
-
And this is why every republican that has not done their job, should be fired! 40 days or sooner vote Blue! We have seen without a doubt how republicans feel about a traitor, and destroyer! They have had the majority for 611 days! No guard rails! and what have they done? We have no respect or trust!
-
The fact that he didn’t get Congressional approval for his war will incriminate him further if he’s ever charged with a war crime or crime against humanity. Presumably his attempt to destroy the ICC is motivated by fear of prosecution.
-
There were no WMD either, nor was there ever any credible evidence. Right-wingers know violence riles up their Neanderthal voters ( my apologies to Neanderthals).
-
Outside of the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Native Americans of course.
-
I must admit Bernie would have won the 2016 election!!
-
Trump, Nentenyahu, and Putin have so much in common.
-
Or that California used to pay $20 per Native American scalp and one dude collected - personally - over 300 of them, including women and children. Court approved genocide in the US.
-
D
Yet he STILL remains in the WH because of ALL the CORRUPT ENABLERS he has INSTALLED to protect his DESPICABLE A$$! This IS how Democracies FALL!
-
Yes, he got my vote. The DNC skewed things in favor of Hillary if I remember right.
-
Yep, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM in ALL LEVELS of OUR Govt! There are MAGA people running for Governor & Congress in several states so THEY can HELP FURTHER Trump's FASCIST AGENDA, so they MUST ALL BE VOTED OUT!
-
fRumpty dumpty is mentally ill. He is certifiable and more than likely the definition of insane. He needs to be taken away and locked up. His narcissism and his stupidity makes him a danger to all of us.
