In a clip posted Wednesday by clip guy Aaron Rupar too short to rip and paste in here, Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton on Wednesday told Fox News that the International Criminal Court is “a kangaroo court, but ultimately, it’s not about Prime Minster Netanyahu and Israel” – referring to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s aborted threat to order “Bibi” cuffed in September – “it’s about arresting Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio in the future if they ever travel abroad.”

So yeah, if you had any doubts that the ICC is becoming less and less an abstraction to bitch about because Netanyahu and his scumbag friends facing justice and more and more of a potentially serious future threat to the MAGA Regime then well here’s Tom Cotton sure making it sound like a potentially serious threat to his Orange Overlord’s retinue. What was missing there however was a citation of the ICC’s “kangaroo” status, like a single example of when it had actually rigged a trial or withheld evidence or whatever. If anything delegitimizing it is actually harder than the MAGA propaganda complex might perceive because of some inconvenient historical precedent: Even though the US is not a party to the Rome Statute and has laws specifically proscribing handing over American defendants to the court given that the apprehensions of Subsaharan psychopaths Bosco Ntaganda and Dominic Ongwen were aided by State Department officials in 2013 and special forces infantry in 2015, respectively. Meaning that the ICC’s legitimacy was recognized by the US for at least those two and undermining it is effectively demanding they be released.

Presiding over a not-very-modest ribbon-cutting ceremony in the town of Braunau am Inn on Wednesday, Austrian Interior Minister Gerhard Karner on Wednesday hailed the opening of a new federal police station in an old building, one chosen specifically because of its sentimental value to and a draw for MAGAmerican and other extremists since, as mentioned in the headline, it was where Adolf Hitler was born in 1889. “The Republic of Austria, the state, the county is facing up to this heritage, the terrible heritage of this time, and commits itself to deal with it,” Karner said, per the AP.

“This entails this house and this address,” Karner added as he dedicated the new precinct – in front of which now sits a memorial stone inscribed with “For freedom, democracy and liberty. Never again fascism. Millions of dead remind us” – at the end of a nearly decade-long planning and conversion that cost $22.8 million following the building’s 2017 appropriation from a private owner who had refused to sell for reasons not made clear. They had previously rented it to the government to sub-let to various non-profits so it might have just been asking price rather than any “sentimental” value.

Still, the fact that they spent $22 million and about five years renovating a 19th century residential building instead of just demolishing it and building a new police station for a fraction of the time and cost is just weird and inexplicable. Then again keeping it intact but giving it to, say, an LGBTQ or Jewish organization to operate some kind of community center would probably be painting a target on those people’s backs so maybe the police is station is actually kind of the least bad of all options that were available. Plus it just makes it easier to catch the “tourists,” like the four Germans who were arrested in 2024 for laying white roses in front of the house and then posing for Nazi salutes.

“From this point forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Wednesday, upping the ante he was evidently unwilling to up previously for reasons known only to him and possibly his handlers.

Trump posted it while en route to Dover AFB for the dignified transfer of the four soldiers killed by Iranian action in the region last weekend, as just prior he wrote “Heading to Dover Air Force Base to HONOR OUR HEROES!” with obvious excitement over what he sees as a patriotic-themed photo op.

Modeling scout Daniel Siad, who was under criminal investigation by French prosecutors in connection to his prolific recruitment of victims for convicted felon President Trump’s former best friend Jeffrey Epstein, was found Epsteined in his home near Paris on Wednesday, France24 reports.

“An investigation to determine the cause of death was opened on Monday evening following the discovery,” said the Nanterre prosecutor’s office in the announcement. Siad, 69, had yet to be questioned by investigators, but had publicly stated he was looking forward to clearing his name after it appeared thousands of times in the US Justice Department’s shitshow of a records dump.

“In This busyness I feel like fisherman some time I cache quick, some time no fish,” Siad wrote to Dirty Jeff in 2014 and yes the “fishing” was a metaphor. He was talking about girls and women.

Outgoing World Bank chief economist Indermit Gill tells Reuters the current full-blown restart of convicted felon President Trump’s feckless war against Iran could increase inflation and with it interest rates, knocking global growth back to as low as 1.3 percent, down from 2.9 percent in 2025.

Posting a video announcing that a review determined that the City of New York does not have legal authority to execute an International Criminal Court arrest warrant, Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday brought it around to the obvious conclusion of said review and thus the NYPD will not be arresting Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu during the UN General Assembly in September.

The first time Zo said it, sure. He’s a war criminal and a fugitive from justice. If the NYPD can and regularly does execute arrest warrants on suspects who have not committed a crime in the Five Boroughs but are wanted in other state and/or federal jurisdictions then it would stand to reason that “Bibi” could be cuffed and hauled off to the Hague for his genocidal campaign against Gaza.

The second, third, and however many other times the mayor said it? He proooooobably should have already done his homework by that point. Now that it turns out that only federal law enforcement can effect an international warrant then he just looks like kind of an asshole for getting people’s hopes up for what would have been that most cathartic of sights for untold millions worldwide.

All that being said, Mamdani is nevertheless moving the ball down the field. Benjamin Netanyahu will in all likelihood never set foot in the United States – his childhood home – again after 2029. More importantly, it also begins to set up a framework where Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are swiftly handed over to Dutch authorities for the collateral damage of their illegal war on Iran. Maybe Jack Smith can head back to the ICC and lead the prosecution just as an extra fuck you… And if you think that’s a pipe dream, maybe it is. Just maybe not that pipey given Marco Rubio’s Wall Street Journal op-ed literally headlined “Why We’re Dismantling the International Criminal Court” from last week.

“Afghanistan War: 20 years, 2,000 DEAD. Iraq War: 9 years, 4,600 DEAD. Vietnam War: 19 years and 5 months, 58,220 DEAD. Korean War: 3 years and 1 month, 36,574 DEAD. Venezuela War: 1 day, 0 DEAD. Iran Military Conflict: 4 months, 18 DEAD,” the President of the United States posted on Tuesday, expressing his deep sorrow over the brave soldiers who fell in his war military conflict, and consoling their families by reminding them so many were sacrificed on other battlefields.

Except Venezuela.

Sources in the Justice Department tell MS Now that notorious piece of shit Florida MAGA Congressman Cory Mills is under federal criminal investigation for something about Mills’s finances and misconduct. It’s vague and the actual supposed crimes are less interesting than the fact that there’s (supposedly) any investigation happening at all given that he’s a Republican.

Last year Mills, quite infamously, narrowly escaped arrest for domestic assault after roughing up one of his girlfriends at his DC apartment – which he was later evicted from for failing to pay something like $85,000 in back rent – a reprieve that only came because then-acting DC US Attorney “Eagle Ed” Martin refused to sign the arrest warrant because, as mentioned, Mills is a Republican.

Maybe it’s simply that bad, worse than hitting a woman, that Todd Blanche and Judge Box-o-Wine decided they couldn’t just hear no evil see no evil and told Trump that Mills has to be cut loose.

“Last week I learned that a serious software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System led to the registration of roughly 6,600 people who indicated that they were not US citizens between June 2023 and June 2024, almost three years prior to my taking office. These individuals answered ‘no’ when asked on a keypad whether they were a US citizen when applying for drivers’ licenses and identification cards, but through no fault of their own, the system registered them anyway.”

“This happened under the previous administration and, upon learning this information, I immediately ordered my chief counsel to launch an investigation to get to the bottom of what occurred. I also ordered the removal of any residents from our voter rolls who were erroneously added between June 2023 and June 2024. The new MVC Administrator that I appointed has begun the process of replacing the vendor responsible for administering the system,” says New Jersey Gov Mikie Sherill in a Tuesday press release, getting in front of it because it’s coming no matter what.

“Our preliminary analysis shows fewer than 400 individuals who were newly registered for the first time because of the error voted. hey were registered as Democrats, Republicans and Unaffiliated voters and were scattered across the state,” Sherrill continued and welp that’s it. “Trump won New Jersey in 2024, Jack Ciattarelli is the legitimate governor, Sherrill just admitted it” on the headlines of every dogshit right wing propaganda site, all day, every day for the next four months – at least.

Convicted felon President Trump will continue flying on his Qatar Force One luxury 747 domestically while still being too chickenshit to take it anywhere overseas, CNN reports.

“At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Bertha was located near latitude 28.8 North, longitude 86.2 West. Bertha is moving toward the northwest near 5 mph. A slow northwestward to west-northwestward motion is expected today followed by a turn toward the west by the middle part of this week. On the forecast track, Bertha will move near or along the northern Gulf Coast during the next several days. Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph with higher gusts. Some slight strengthening is possible later today, followed by gradual weakening through the middle of this week. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles from the center.”

“The estimated minimum central pressure based on NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft data is 997 mb. Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning area along the northern Gulf coast by late today into Wednesday,” says the National Hurricane Center in an update on Bertha.

“Bertha” seems, um, antiquated. And for a specific type of person. Sleeveless, yelling don’t slam the screen door of the trailer, floorboards of said trailer sagging under the spot where she typically sites whilst watching QVC or religious programming. Not really like, say, Sydney Sweeney.

Huh… Look if there’s a “Bertha” who’s a top Instagram model or whatever then let’s see it.

“Rich people and Companies are pouring out of Dumocrat run Blue States at levels never seen before! If this trend continues, these States will become the ‘Ghettos’ of the Future — No people, no money, no hope,” posted convicted felon President Trump, who still owns hundreds of millions worth of property in New York and New Jersey and does not seem poised to sell them off anytime soon.

Sources, probably ones in Israeli intel who want convicted felon President Trump to continue bombing Iran so they don’t have to spend their own money, tell the Wall Street Journal that last fall they determined that the Iranians moved their nuclear centrifuges to caves under a promontory known as “Pickaxe Mountain.” It’s not clear why a mountain in Iran sounds like a ride in the “Frontierland” section of Disney World where you ride a mine cart and see animatronics with names like “Prospectin’ Pete” find a nugget of gold but then them gol’durn Bandit Burton and his Black Bandana Boys dun stole Pete’s shiny gold nugget so y’all gotta chase ’em down the minin’ tracks!

In conclusion, Disney parks may be full of new, hi-tech digital-based experiences every year, but it’s the generational classics of mechanical that are a must-ride for every visitor, kids and adults alike.

Update: the rule also applies if I have to ask you to turn your loud, niche music down. https://t.co/zEg40uPwcm
