What really terrifies MAGA movers and shakers is the prospect of even a modicum of justice whisking away the loot they've stolen and the immunity they believe their venality and cowardice have bought them.

What cannot be washed out - ever - are the memories and effects of the massive destruction and thousands of deaths they caused and condoned to ingratiate themselves with a mad-as-a-box-of-frogs dementia patient while materially enriching themselves and incinerating their reputations. Absolute pigs.

Sure they're scared, and they should be, they saw what happened to the Nazis post WW2. The only thing that keeps the Gross Old Pedophiles even close to toeing (or is it towing) the line is the fear of repercussions. Look at what's happening with Dotard since the crooked SCOTUS immunity ruling? He thinks hes a god and that nothing can touch him, and so he is self-dealing and robbing American taxpayers blind daily. He will be shocked when things like bribes, insider trading, and war crimes are not considered official presidential acts by the new expanded SCOTUS, they are acts for which he can be prosecuted.

The US has been ignoring the ICC since they went after Kissinger and has continued to every time we're behind some atrocity in the world.
But, shameless hypocrisy is pretty much our thing.

And SC Jack Smith was a war crimes prosecutor at the ICC before returning to the US in mid-2021 to tackle Dummkopf Trumpf.
