Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

Not a pardon if you still claim innocence...

“You cannot grant him a pardon without an admission of guilt, an expression of remorse, and an immediate retirement from political life,” said Lapid.

Why so uncertain?

Netanyahu was indicted in 2019 in three separate corruption cases regarding allegations that he took more than $200,000 from wealthy businessmen in exchange for positive media coverage for himself and his family.

Well that doesn't make sense.

Turns out those are separate cases. He took money and favorable media coverage in exchange for favors. (allegedly)

They need to throw the book at Fuckface so that he never sees the light of day again. Get that disgusting smirk off his face. Go from Bibi to CryBibi

First Trump met with leader of the free world, then Trump met with modern day Hitler. What a timeline.

Pardon from who? Does the ICC even have a mechanism like that?

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 12 hours ago

The corruption changes are from the Israeli government not the ICC

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Trump has nothing at the ICC. We didn't sign it in the US. As a result trump has less than nothing and will probably end up there if there is any justice at all in this world.
