It’s not the only thing, but yes.
**Will** need, and we already know that. Start planning it. Bring Your Own Popcorn.
I can see it already. Trump says the Supreme Court told him he can do anything he wants. Judges tell him international law says otherwise. Trump says he’s going to pull the US out of international law.
I can’t see the US ever prosecuting themselves for war crimes. And I can’t see anyone else in the world strong enough to force such a prosecution. Nuremburg only happened because Germany lost the war.
We’ve seen this dance before.
Best case scenario is Trump is removed, his cabinet is arrested, but they get light sentences because a few select people followed their oath and removed him. Thus we are urged to “come together as a nation and forgive and forget about our fellow American nearly leading us to our downfall.”
Not may, will.
Add the ones passing illegal orders to the Nuremberg windchime.
Nuremberg didn’t go far enough
No. They need people to stand up NOW and stop the fucking war crimes from continuing.
You don’t get a fucking pass for sitting back and watching just because it’s not election season. America is going to go down in history as a terrorist state on par with the worst in history, and that is on the American people.
Hers the thing. He gets removed and Vance will pardon him within 24 hours. Then what?
He’a a danger to himself and others, why can’t we just do a 72 hour psych hold??
The time for mutiny is now.
It’s time for the Secret Service to lock the president in a room and refuse to let him out until he abdicates the presidency.
Millions of lives are at stake.
I’m more interested in what the generals who have not retired think about commiting war crimes.
We would have to replace all of our law enforcement and a lot of our appointed justices before we can be in a place morally and ethically where we can accurately condemn the atrocities of this administration and the movement behind it. The problem this time around, unlike back then, is the core of our nation is now poisoned by cynics, despots, and just plain evil.
We definitely need Nuremberg trials, but we need to also have the offenders face proper justice for their crimes.
I want the unforgiveable thrown in forgettable jail cells without being able to be pardoned or crimes commuted. I don’t want to forgive and forget. All of those people don’t deserve it.
It’s really a shame that if our country gets through this that Donny will have passed away and he will never have to pay for this.
Never in a million years would I have guessed that I’d find myself rooting for Iran.
Nuremberg style trials is the only hope the U.S ever has of recovery. Anything short will be a complete failure and submission to terrorists and rapists.
There is no “may” there is only a “we need ‘Nuremberg’ like trials.”
There MUST be consquences for these actions so it does not happen again.
The reason it keeps going as far as it is because NO ONE IS BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
Yeah, bout that…
Germany didn’t conduct the Nuremberg trials.
The countries that violently crushed them into submission conducted said trials.
There are simply too many Nazi sympathizers and MAGA idiots to imagine a world in which Republicans would accept such a thing.
You can’t have that kind of justice from within unless you crush that opposition somehow. Just like fucking up the end of the Civil War.
There won’t be justice like this until every single Republican is removed from office. Like, we would have to outlaw the party as the Nazi party was in Germany….except that, too, was adjudicated by the conquerors.
General knows what he’s talkin about. Trump’s Iran orders are illegal. Try him.
How I wish our justice system was more concerned with preventative measures rather than punitive measures
Send him to the ICC.
Really important distinction: Nuremberg happened because the Allies came from outside of the regime and held the Nazis accountable. Where are the Allies going to come from today? We did this to ourselves. And no, not just in 2016 and 2024. We’ve been on this road irrevocably since Reagan. How do you hold 50 years of misinformation and hatred accountable?
It will not happen. Trump has complete immunity thanks to his Supreme Court judges. Hegseth may have to resign but be protected after that. Trump will pardon everyone whom he doesn’t dump the blame on.
No one will dare to prosecute, and be labelled as unpatriotic and not supportive of the military.
It is insulting that it has had to come to this.
But Trump SHOULD NOT BE THE ONLY ONE ON TRIAL. There are many enablers and they should be there as well. They are in Congress, in the Senate and within SCOTUS.
Every last one.
Literally the reason USA isn’t signatory to the Rome Treaty and doesn’t recognize the ICC is because they want the rest of the world accountable to these laws, but not themselves. They did this in order to leave the door open for them to do these things. There is no mechanism to hold the USA accountable for war crimes.
every headline feels like it’s written to sound as intense as possible now 😭 like i read this and i’m just sitting there wondering what actually happened vs what’s being amplified for clicks… it’s hard to even process anything when everything sounds like a historical moment every single day 💀
Nuremberg left the overwhelming majority of war criminals unprosecuted.
We need something that will make Nuremberg look like a junior high mock trial.
There needs to be trials and sweeping legislature that safeguards against this kind of thing happening again.
If only a single non retired general or politician were able to say this.
Might? ***MIGHT?!?!?!***
“May”??
We’re going to definitely need trials. We need to start workshopping some names now.
MAGA Trials
Trump Trials
Executive Trials
Maralago Trials
None have the ring of “Nuremberg” but we’ll keep working
