Actual criminal in New York: image

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 29 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

When will his tailor face charges?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 21 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

for making him look like a centaur. its well known trump orders baggy suits to hide his obesity, and his girlde, and diaper he wears. plus his shoe lifts makes him look like a centaur.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

there's a billion things wrong with him, but I can't see what's wrong with his suit. help?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I suppose I should have said his dry cleaner. That pant leg looks like he slept in it.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

...

you really went to "his trousers aren't ironed"? Out of the EVERYTHING?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 weeks ago

Sorry, it was just bothering me in that pic.

I had a tan suit moment. Forgive me. (Though considering he’s so critical about suits when it comes to others…)

I have no doubt that Maduro is actually a criminal.

He just had no buisness being or New York, or being tried in any American court

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't know or care if he's a criminal. If he violated international law he should have been brought in to an international court at the ICC's request by an international coalition of forces, and if he violated Venezuelan law he should be arrested, tried, and sentenced in Venezuela by Venezuelans. Unless he violated USAmerican law, in USAmerica without immunity, and was arrested in the US he shouldn't be in US courts.

We are not the sovereigns of the whole planet. Other countries are other countries and we need to act like it.

Wouldn't that require consent from Maduro? AFAIK the ICC doesn't really catch people from countries that refuse them.

and if he violated Venezuelan law he should be arrested, tried, and sentenced in Venezuela by Venezuelans

Kinda need a coup d'etat for that first if he runs the country

Unless he violated USAmerican law, in USAmerica without immunity, and was arrested in the US he shouldn’t be in US courts.

Wholly agreed.

But seriously, you pretty much can't actually charge a dictator while they're still in power. Kidnapping them like Trump did is pretty much the only way, but that doesn't mean it's a legitimate way.

I have no doubt that Maduro is actually a criminal.

Guy was illegally operating a Latin American democracy in defiance of decades of US coup attempts. He should be arrested, convicted, shot, buried, exhumed, convicted a second time, and launched into the sun. How fucking dare he.

I’m all fuck the US and the US’s imperialism in Venezuela (and in general) but let’s not whitewash Maduro either.

Calling the system under Maduro a “democracy” is a massive stretch.

"S/He was no angel" is the same language conservative media uses to smear victims of police shootings, ICE arrests of migrant people, and targets of US/Israeli assassination.

Getting tired of hearing the nightmarish actions of a fascist state justified by rattling off reasons you think the victims of this violence deserved it.

Calling the system under Maduro a “democracy” is a massive stretch.

How many foreign backed coup attempts does the Venezuelan government need to thwart before we question the foreign-sponsored narrative that the current government is popular and the people failing to replace them through armed insurrection are not?

Two things can be bad at the same time.

The number of times I have said this on Threadiverse… Some people here seem to always believe theres a good guy and a bad guy. The world isn’t usually like that. Very few good guys in power.

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

And dipshits can just say shit and fall back on this line when the clear self serving interest behind the completely baseless allegation is examined

It's just a way for you to lie and act like being called out is being unreasonable

Imagine watching the J6 riot and proceeding into a long rant about how Congress is bad.

[–] FundMECFS@anarchist.nexus 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

That’s not at all equivalent to what I did.

good thing you didn't elaborate an iota otherwise someone could accuse you of being racist

best to just leave the purely vibes based reasoning unsaid

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They didn't mention anyone's race.

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

it's not racist unless the racist says upfront they're being racist
