Truly the stupidest country on earth.

NEW: No 10 says it “respects the independence” of the ICC but is not immediately committing to arresting Netanyahu if he was to come to the UK. It seems there is some domestic legal process to happen first.

Looks like there are some brief formalities under the International Criminal Court Act 2001 (which have nothing to do with Keith, whatsoever), but effectively, once the warrant has been passed to an officer of the courts and verified as originating from the ICC, the UK courts have no alternative to issue a UK warrant for arrest.

NEW: Matt Gaetz withdraws from consideration as Trump’s Attorney General saying he’d become “a distraction.”

Recap on Trump’s nominations so far:

- Five people directly involved with Project “I don’t even know what it is” 2025
- Three people accused of sexxual assault
- Two Fox News hosts
- A WWE star
- A TV celebrity doctor
- Worm brain

I love it when the term "international community" becomes very awkward for those who always like using it.

Every single UK news outlet's main point following the ICC's charges is to tickertape the views of various Israel supporters. Little or no weight given to why those charges have been made. Just to make sure the narrative is set one way.

So he quit congress asap because the report was about to come out, thinking he'd be able to cover it up, and now he's quit the AG.

Just how bad is this report

They were investigating quite a list of little (alleged) misdemeanours, from trafficking, to drug use, to prostitution, to racketeering, to inappropriate behaviour in Congress.

I assume Trump picked him because with all that shiiit hanging over his head, he’d have been obliged to do whatever the fack Trump’s team wanted and told him to do. (It certainly wasn’t a result of a long, distinguished career as an attorney or legislator… )

There’ll be some other mug available with a similar bunch of rattling skeletons who Trump will find to replace him.

Does David Duke???

Gaetz was forced to withdraw because he hasn't quite finished transitioning from Reptilian.

This is the plan surely, throw enough 5hit at the wall some of it has to stick, flood the nominations with the worst so that Congress kinds has to approve the slightly less worst?
