    At present, there is no ICC warrant for Netanyahu’s arrest. The ICC Chief Prosecutor in The Hague has only announced that his office intends to apply to the International Court for the arrest of Netanyahu, his Minister of Defence and specific leaders of Hamas. The application could take months to complete and make its way through the system . Also, there is no guarantee the Court will even issue a warrant. If a warrant were issued in future the only countries that would be obliged to arrest any of the named persons would be countries who have signed onto Rome Statute. Germany is a signatory as is the UK, France and Canada. The US, Israel as well as Russia, China and a number of Arab states are not party to Rome Statute. So yes, if a warrant is issued those guys would likely be arrested if they travel abroad to signatory states such as Germany.

    Perception is reality in politics, so who controls the public's perception?

    Too much salt on the eggs and the steak looked undercooked, and of course it looks like vomit, but flavor wise I would assume it's ok.

    So, if we are to believe the media, both Trump and Biden are running to stay out of jail.

    Told you he was on Gutfeld! hawking the book. BTW, the book is one he wrote during COVID. It's him cherry-picking his old monologues, updating and tweaking them.

    McCarthy: All search warrants involve the possibility of forced entry. All of them involve police seizures of property, which can subject the personnel involved to legal risks as well as safety risks. The cops or federal agents usually do a good job of identifying themselves during the process of seeking or forcing entry; yet there are tragic instances in which people inside the premises mistakenly believe violent criminals, rather than cops, are trying to get in, resulting in physical confrontations including, sometimes, exchanges of gunfire. As a result, and as a matter of common sense, the FBI always has an operational plan for carrying out a court-authorized search. That plan customarily involves reminding the search teams of the FBI’s use-of-force policies. Those policies, of course, include a refresher on the conditions under which lethal force may be used. This is to prepare law-enforcement officials for contingencies that are all too familiar, and to protect the agency and agents in the event of later legal claims. If you don’t instantly grasp why police agencies would perform these prudential steps, you must have been living under a rock for the last decade or so, which has featured no shortage of instances in which allegations of excessive police force have been made (and a thankfully small percentage of instances when excessive force was actually used), with intense scrutiny and occasional rioting in the aftermath. It would have been surprising if the Mar-a-Lago search hadn’t been conducted in accordance with an operational plan of which use-of-force policies were a component. It was important to do this search by the book — more on that momentarily. But there was never anticipation that force, much less lethal force, would be used, and there was never any threat to the former president. My understanding is that the FBI was reluctant to do the search — it was Justice Department officials who ran out of patience with Trump’s intransigence. The bureau intentionally carried out the search when it was known that Trump was not on the premises.

    Running a good restaurant is bloody hard work. I've talked about my friend who was a regional manager for Burger King. Not that BK is high end anything, but most of his food skills he learned while overseeing an O Club back in his past. I have another good friend that was literally raised in the restaurant biz. Started bussing tables, became a prep cook, then the fry guy, head of kitchen, moved to the front of the house and later managed restaurants for awhile. One is too old now, but you couldn't forcibly throw either guy back into the job of running a restaurant.

    @George-K said in Armed robbery: @Horace said in Armed robbery: It would be more inspirational if he was trans. Thank you for bringing the important things to mind. I remain humbled. But, it's pretty inspirational as shown, no? 5/10. White cis male privilege is not entirely stored in one’s arms.
