The UK warns British lawyers about possible US sanctions over advice to the ICC in its Israel case.

The UK’s foreign office has warned senior British lawyers they're at risk of sanctions by the Trump administration because of advice they provided to the International Criminal Court on Israel’s conduct in Gaza.

Several leading human rights barristers provided advice to the ICC as to whether there was sufficient evidence to charge.

In his 1st term, #Trump became the 1st president in more than half a century to modify existing #NationalMonuments when he drastically shrank the boundaries of Utah’s Bears Ears & Grand Staircase-Escalante—only for Pres Joe #Biden🦸‍♂️to reverse the cuts.

'Jurors deliberated for only 2 hours Tuesday afternoon before finding that The New York Times did not libel Sarah Palin in a 2017 editorial. The editorial linked a 2011 mass shooter who killed six and wounded U.S. Rep Gabby Giffords with Palin's political rhetoric and a map that her political action committee circulated with Democrats, including Giffords, under crosshairs.'

A subset of the population wants to be ruled by strongmen, authoritarians who can punish perceived opponents, and illiberal autocrats contemptuous of the enlightenment project. It is evident in how many look to the mafia and its cinematic iterations as heroes. Trump is the destroyer; his MAGAts are the drug fuelled berserkers setting civilization aflame.

#Legal experts have dismissed that suit as baseless & far-fetched [ya don’t say], & #BillOwens said in Feb that he would not apologize as part of any prospective settlement.
