Europe, please, please arrest Trump for war crimes while he's over there! Please!

Fraser's avatar

Good idea, Joanne!!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

One can only wish. I see Macron is all smiles. I don't know why these G7 countries treat him with respect after he continually trashes them. Hopefully Mark Carney will put him in his place.

Anne Loader's avatar

They don't treat him with respect. They humour him to his face and laugh at him behind his back. As does the King... (I'm a Brit, by the way) Personally, I wish they were a lot ruder to him.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I wish they were ruder too. I just wish someone would call his ass out though.

Jean Conley's avatar

Short, concise, and exactly the point!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Anne.

Stuart MacDonald's avatar

They don't treat him with respect at best they tolerate him. I totally agree, I hope my Prime Minister will put him in his place.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

He's an embarrassment. I can see them tolerating him, really. You're right. It's like tolerating a crazy family member at Christmas or whatever family holiday gathering. I can see that.

Jean Conley's avatar

..........shows you (well--us and should show the republiCRAPS) how dignified, refined, mannerly and respectable THEY (Europeans) are compared to The Dictator Dimwit and his rude, obnoxious republiCRAP allies are.

Bmandiego's avatar

The others are catering to his ego... They probably burn the linens when he leaves..... Sage the rooms...

Barb O's avatar

They don't respect him. They are quietly rolling their eyes at everything he says. Good acting.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I really wish they would but it doesn't appear likely.

Lance Khrome's avatar

I'd gladly settle for a "Day of The Jackal" scenario.

Linda Harris's avatar

The US is not a part of the ICC so that won't work. I am hoping that Iran has active agents that can get into Europe and kidnap him.

Patti Campbell's avatar

It would be a dream come true if the Iranians could convince him that they are taking him for a treat at the local MacDonalds and then whisk him away to never-never land so we never have to hear his whining feminine voice again or look at his ugly, bloated face.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I hear you! "Treat at the local McDonald's" 😂 That's a good one.

Patricia Reed's avatar

My new dream scenario!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Oh that'll be nice, Linda! 👏

ramonaj's avatar

This embarassing fool is a joke. Nothing changes except the date on the calendar. Making America Gaudy AS ALL HELL

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I'm totally embarrassed to be American 😔

Jean Conley's avatar

I have been since the Dimwit took office the first time. Biden relieved it for a few years, but not enough to compensate (thanks to the republiCRAPS) for Dump's first four years and here we are again, embarrassed to no end.

ramonaj's avatar

I am with you on all that. With complete dread added knowing his pst decades before that. He always has been a scumbag.

Jean Conley's avatar

You and me (and the majority of Americans--exceptions being the dumplicrap's supporters) both.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I fucking hate him 😒 I hate hating so much 😡

CONNIE  BREMER-MURRAY's avatar

That cracked me up!!!…GAUDY👍💥

ramonaj's avatar

Glad you liked it Connie. Like I said , the stupid writes itself.

Lisa's avatar

I don't get how he's in France the day after staying up until the wee hours watching grown men chicken fight. What are those "doctors" giving him??

Mrsloverson's avatar

He fell asleep at his birthday bash up!

Patti Campbell's avatar

I wish people would just let the imbecile sleep - maybe he'd never wake up again. The media keeps commenting about how concerned they are about his failing health and how bad he looks. I am more concerned about the fact that he is still breathing.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I'm always saying that too 😂 Please go to sleep and never wake up. ⚰️

ramonaj's avatar

He fell asleep at th G 7.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I saw that 🙄😴

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Well, hopefully it'll be fatal at some point. I mean, we lost many beloved entertainers this way. It only takes one lethal dose.

ramonaj's avatar

IVs of shit to pump his system up. Laced with Crack.

Jean Conley's avatar

Bingo, Joanne!!!!!!!!

Mike Hammer's avatar

Looks like JD is going to need 2 couches. One for serious psychotherapy.

Fraser's avatar

And maybe a mirror in the house!!

Fraser's avatar

Yup, and maybe under a couch cushion 😄

Wayne's avatar

It's a hop, skip & a jump to The Hague when they arrest him. Then they could bring back Jack Smith to finish the job.

Steven M.'s avatar

The French could indict Trump as a war criminal (God knows that he deserves to be) and extradite him to The Netherlands to face his charge.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I know! Seems Macron is very friendly with him, like they are best buds. Doesn't look like it'll happen. 😤

ramonaj's avatar

What the hell is he on to be in France this morning. !

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Not sure but he looks like he's about to get a visit from the grim reaper 😃👏

Warrior4Justice's avatar

I seriously want to see a video of him dropping dead.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

You and me both! I'm waiting desperately for that day! 🤞

ramonaj's avatar

Seriously. He must be getting transfusions or something! Looks terrible but still moving. ZOMBIE DON.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Barely moving and barely speaking. He looks and talks decrepit.

Robot Bender's avatar

We aren't a member of the ICC, so I'm not sure they can arrest him.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Yeah, Linda pointed that out. Damn! That's a bummer. Maybe he'll keel over and die then? He looks like death.

ramonaj's avatar

Open more to terrorists blowing him up.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

They wouldn't be terrorists, they would be heroes!

Julie's avatar

Viva La France

Steven M.'s avatar

What about France? Does it recognize the ICC's jurisdiction?

Heather's avatar

There were rumours of a deal last night, but since we’ve heard this 39 times before, I was very skeptical. Turns out we were being gaslit, it’s only a Memorandum of Understanding. I am not surprised. One gets used to this, unfortunately.

Signe K.'s avatar

It almost has a concept of a plan.

Linda Harris's avatar

That's one of my favorites. What does it matter. If the strait was open this minute, there are who knows how many mines that would need to be decommissioned. Also, Israel will never stop b/c they want to take over Lebanon and continue their genocide of people like in Gaza. They only have concepts b/c we do not have qualified negotiators like Obama had.

Signe K.'s avatar

*sigh* remember when we had a competent President? The mention of Obama makes me recall better times.

Signe K.'s avatar

Absolutely. We're now scraping the bottom of the barrel with DJT.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

I think we are scraping the bottom of the sewage system. He’s such a POS!

Robot Bender's avatar

An idea of a concept of a plan...

Skitealwedrop's avatar

WTF? Has he “felt it in his bones” yet?

Signe K.'s avatar

A whim of a fleeting thought of a concept of a plan.

Skitealwedrop's avatar

The orange thang is such an idiot!

Marliss Desens's avatar

So, forty times and counting.

Renee Goodman's avatar

Heather, I never believed any deal was made. He wanted to use his B-day to say it happened! Never believe a word he says, because it’s always a lie!!!!!👿

DivineDiva's avatar

U are right, at this point we have to assume he's lying, until we can prove he's telling the truth. This man lies like he breathes air.

Steven M.'s avatar

Israel could well sabotage this MOU before its formal signing on Friday, the 19th. Like I've said already on another Substack blog, one should not count one's chickens before they are hatched, as the saying goes.

DivineDiva's avatar

Isn't it ironic, we got into this war because of Israel, and now we can't get out of it BECAUSE OF ISRAEL. This is why previous Presidents didn't fall for BiBi's mess...they KNEW he had an agenda from the start. When Donald entered the WH, it was like Xmas to them(BiBi, Putin, Xi Jinping)

Skitealwedrop's avatar

I think you’re correct, Steve. Many things can go wrong when you’re dealing with the orange idiot and the unpredictable Dudes in the sand pit. For instance Bibi and the Iranians et al.

ramonaj's avatar

IMO this will happen. STEVENM

Fraser's avatar

And barely any mutual understanding! The local kindergarten is working on an improved version as we speak!!

CONNIE  BREMER-MURRAY's avatar

True…. I’m getting used to a madman 🤦‍♀️

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Trump's MAGA rally on the Fourth is truly sickening. Our founding fathers are turning over in their graves. I'm going to Canada on the Fourth. No reason to celebrate our country's birthday. He destroyed our country and democracy just as he has destroyed everything else he touches. His supporters are not "patriots" they are the complete opposite; they despise our country.

Fraser's avatar

Yes, we welcome you here Joanne:)

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Thank you!!! ♥️🇨🇦♥️

Lily's avatar

Agree Joanne, why the fuck is dickhead so focus on Fourth of July when he hates America and Americans?????? I think most Americans are sitting out Our July 4th birthday celebrations this year, I am. I haven't had my flag out since Biden left. Not once. There has been no celebrations of freedom, or democracy with this anti-American coin-operated conman felon destroying our democracy and trying to rewrite our Constitution! FDT

serenity's avatar

L'etat c'est moi. He's convinced that he IS America.

Lily's avatar
Jun 16Edited

serenity...is that the translation in French? That is lovely. Donald dick is a pathological liar and we hope France does not think that because NO American thinks that. How do you say this in French? -FUCK YOU TRUMP - AMERICANS HATE YOU.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Va te faire foutre, Trump. Les Américains vous détestent.

I don't speak French but that's what Google says. Probably incorrect 🤔

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

Exactly. There is no point in celebrating. I don't want to see anybody having parties or fireworks etc. We're going to spend the entire day in Canada. It's nice we only have a 15 min drive to the Canadian border. We might just take our caravan and do some sightseeing. Maybe go to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side.

Neecers's avatar

I will watch the celebration on July 3rd, as it's always been uplifting and inspiring, reminding people what the U.S. could be. July 4th, I'll probably do my laundry. Anything to ignore the book in the White House!

Carol Erlingheuser's avatar

Ditto. He’s sickening and pathetic

Neecers's avatar

I used another word for “breast” but it changed it to book. I hope you understood what I meant!

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

That damn autocorrect 😂 I knew what you meant. He is far from being a "book." 😉

Lily's avatar

The boob can't even read...We all knew what you meant!

DivineDiva's avatar

It's kinda heartbreaking 💔, isn't it? DJT has fundamentally changed the US.People are different now....more racist, sexist, xenophobic, and just more angry in general. We can no longer stand in solidarity as Americans. My only silver lining is to know that other people are seeing/feeling the same way I am..it let's me know that I am NOT the "crazy" one😳

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

No, you are not alone. There are many of us feeling the same. You're not crazy. The haters are the crazy ones. We are here to support each other and support what is left of our democracy and our country.

Renee Goodman's avatar

Joanne, he hasn’t touched himself enough to ruin his life on EARTH, so we need to keep on praying it will happen soon TO GO DOWN UNDER!!!!

Heather's avatar

Heck, no, we don’t want him “down under”. ( You know that’s what Australia is known as, don’t you?)

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

LOL...I think she meant "six feet under." Nobody wants him in their country and I don't blame Aussies one bit.

Heather's avatar

Yes, Joanne, but I thought it needed clarifying. It was a bit of fun.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

True, Renee. I want to see him eating dirt! Soon!

ramonaj's avatar

This whole thread 👏 🤣

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

We always seem to have some good ones, huh? 😂

ramonaj's avatar

The stupid practically writes itself.

Lily's avatar

Great line, Ramona, I'll be using that!

Bob Healy's avatar

Trump is so far over his head, he can't remember which lie he last told!!!! IRAN, hold Trump and Bibi's FEET to the fire and don't let up. They started this war and they need to be accountable, the world is watching

Richard fried's avatar

I never expected that as an American, I would believe what Iran says rather than what US officials say. DISGRACEFUL

Nancy Endersby's avatar

Richard I said exactly the same thing earlier today!

Richard fried's avatar

I did not read any comments, so I missed it. Sounds like great minds think alike

Marliss Desens's avatar

I know this is likely a naive question, but doesn't holding a rally at the Lincoln Memorial on the 4th of July and using the U.S. military bands to do so violate the Emoluments Clause? Is there time for someone to bring a lawsuit in a timely manner against it?

Toni Shanti's avatar

Everything he does violates the Emollients Clause and/or is illegal.

It doesn't stop him since he figured out the wheels of justice turn far slower than his ability to commit crimes.

Marliss Desens's avatar

The wheels of justice moved at extraordinary speed to get the injunction against the slush fund, so sometimes it can be done. Much depends on the strength of the case and the people bringing it.

Toni Shanti's avatar

Yes, sometimes justice happens quickly enough, but far too few times.

L B Rose's avatar

And his MAGA SCOTUS has blessed him with immunity for any crimes he commits while in "office". He's in his Prime Crime TIme

Lily's avatar

Break now, sue later mentality!

Karen D's avatar

It would violate the Hatch Act. Not that it matters which law he's breaking since it's pretty much all of them.

ramonaj's avatar

We are wasting our time trying to deal with the regime. They lie.

I am going to enjoy every minute I can. They lose no sleep over trying to deflect from their failures.

Focus on what is important to normal people.

The clownshow is never ending . Keep the pressure on Epstein Files and returning the rule of law to America. VOTE. Speak out. Never accept abnormal.

sharon's avatar

Someone already did that about the gladiator fights! The court stated that we the people, paying taxes to fund this obscenity, had no standing! And this was an Obama appointed judge. trump violated the emoluments clause and Hatch Act by advertising companies he has financial interests in and WE don't have standing. Even the courts can't stand up to the fascist pig when it's critical.

His demise can't come fast enough. We need to totally annihilate the republican party in November and send them back to the fetid swamp they crawled out of. It's our last chance to keep the planned horrors of 2027, 2028 from coming to fruition.

Marliss Desens's avatar

That gladiator fight lawsuit was filed far too late. Also, there were issues of "standing." I think that there may be ways around it for the 4th of July by invoking the emoluments clause, but I'm not a lawyer--although I am learning a lot more about law over the last couple of years than I ever wanted to know.

Wendy B.'s avatar

Yes, please file lawsuits. In most cases, the courts are struggling to catch up, but we have plenty of time to stop this particular crime.

Marliss Desens's avatar

The Justice Department also has few competent lawyers left, as they either fired the competent ones or the competent ones resigned.

Nick Wassell.'s avatar

A Memorandum of Understanding sounds more like something Johnny Depp's character in Pirates of the Caribbean would conjure up.

Fraser's avatar

Yes, and nailed to the end of the plank! It's dangerous to even FIND IT.

Heather's avatar

“concepts of a plan”

Mia's avatar

Just one fuck up after another…..it never ends…..My heart goes out to the families who have military personnel killed in this useless and unnecessary war! And those that are still in harms way! I never thought I could hate to the depths that I am now……

Steve Rosner's avatar

I certainly hope the context of his peace plan is better than his context of his health care plan.

Lois's avatar

What an incredible bunch of losers. Lies, lies, lies. They are so far in the red over this that there is no way to spin it any other way than he lost big time and it's going to cost us. Like everything else he touches. He needs to go to prison just for this, let alone any other horror he's been perpetrating. Everything he touches he kills. The most incompetent human on the planet.

Janet Hains's avatar

Sometimes I wonder how stupid people can be. Sabotaging the Reflecting Pool with algae. What a joke! Just another stupid rant by a Maga. Anyway, Ben, thank you for the update. Keep on keeping on.

Dorothy Blass's avatar

If you don’t put in a good filtration system then the water doesn’t circulate and with hot weather in DC , they should have known that and been able to handle the algae 👍

Rachel C's avatar

It’s funny, they have plenty of scum in Florida, too 👹

Lily's avatar

musk and dickhead fired all the experts in the Parks Dept.

serenity's avatar

Maybe the swarms of mosquitoes that are hatching out of the stagnant algae field reflecting pool will drive the attendees away. Maybe dear leader will contract malaria.

Phillip's avatar

"Compare that to what Trump keeps trashing. The Obama-era JCPOA was an 18-page agreement with detailed annexes, 159 pages total, with specific, verifiable commitments on uranium enrichment limits, centrifuge counts, inspections, and enforcement mechanisms. What Trump has is concepts of a deal, with the text not yet released to the public, to Congress, or even to reporters. Trump said this morning it would be out “pretty soon.” He then walked that back in France, telling reporters it would come out “sometime after Friday,” which is the signing ceremony itself. He may not even attend. When asked, he told reporters, “JD is coming in for it. I’ll probably be gone by then.”

Honestly, it's all just too much. Why isn't the entire nation in an uproar?

JohnC-Va's avatar

“Why isn't the entire nation in an uproar?” I ponder that daily. First off, 25-30% is hard-core, off the rails, stupid as shit christian nationalist maggots. They would take a bullet to the head before they broke with this idiot, they’re that far gone. Completely irredeemable. Half of the remaining 70% is disengaged from the whole thing, or marginally aware of how bad it really is. You tell them things you learn from Substack posts and they can’t believe it’s real. The remaining 30-35% is split between folks who think yeah, it’s serious but not catastrophic, and the rest of us who live every day with this bonfire of stupidity, criminality, the destruction of government, greed and corruption on a scale beyond description for this country, the constant lying and bullshit from these assholes and the outright dismissal of our constitutional order. On top of all that, the so-called opposition party is disorganized and ineffective in its responses to all of this, tone-deaf to the madness and criminality, still perceived as weak and feckless by a significant portion of the electorate, and constantly searching for just the absolute purest, most ideal perfect candidate who checks all the liberal, ultra-liberal and centrist liberal boxes to come in on a white horse and save us all. No such animal exists, but they keep looking.

It doesn’t do much for one’s optimistic outlook, that’s for sure.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I ask myself that same question with each atrocity and crime he commits. Where's the outrage or the uproar? 🤷🏻‍♀️

S. Carolyn Darity's avatar

Truth means nothing to Trump. Alternative Facts rule his mind. It never matters what he says to anyone…he will spin it. I’ve stopped listening. Highly recommend that everyone should do the same.

Signe K.'s avatar

This Iran "deal" would be hilarious except we're paying for it: the Strategic Agreement to Dodge Humiliation (SADH). Yes, it is sad. Say it out loud: SADH. Very sad.
