    Its interesting that a convicted felon in the Whitehouse is comfortable with setting the precedent that a head of state can just be kidnapped and prosecuted for crimes that some other country thinks they committed.

      It’s definitely a flex. But said convicted felon was never actually assigned a prison sentence. And the White House is one of the most unassailable points in global geopolitics. Show me the foreign-equivalent Delta Team that plans to arrest the American Caeser.

        I’d settle for a secret service agent growing a conscience.

        The guy that puts ketchup on overcooked steaks at Mar a Lago? The guy who changes his shit-filled diapers multiple times a day? Any of the power-hungry sociopaths that make up this asshole’s entire circle of acquaintances?

        Oh, you said “arrest”. My bad.

    I don’t have to support Maduro to know kidnapping people from other nations, killing 80 people in the process, so you can charge them when crimes which do not apply due no them not being committed in the US.
