my favorite part of the whole video is the first 5 seconds where the announcer is mansplaining that she can't lift her opponent as she's lifting her opponent

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What level of slamming was this particular slam though? Like just a little slam and cheese snack? Or full on 2-foot slamalami sandwich on fire?
As if the oligarchs give a shit about international law enforcement...
Oh but they do ... in so far as LEOs help them protect their families and money.
The rest of us can just starve or burn to death.
The rules based order is more a vibes based order.
I'd classify it as more of a hypocrisy based order. Big "rules for thee, impunity for me" shit.
If the US Democrats are worth anything in regards to the rule of law and Democracy, now is the time to oust the people that have voted together with the fascists to attack international law.
Name them, shame them, throw them out. This is not a matter of political opinion. This is a matter of whether you are an enemy to Democracy or not.
Unfortunately you can't do that for another 2 years. (And so many things will go wrong in those 2 years no one will be able to remember which fuckheads did this bad thing now)
If laws don’t matter anymore I guess that means we can all just do whatever the hell we want.
Oh another CEO got Luigi’d? Oh well.
No, you can only do whatever you want if you have a certain tax bracket and/or you control the world’s most funded industrial military complex.
I wrote my representative in Congress for the first time in my life over this, as he is one of the Dems who voted for it. I'm not patting myself on the back, just recommending you do it too if you are a US citizen.
I don't have high hopes since his seat was purchased by AIPAC, but it felt good to vent to one of the people who have a voice in the system.
The US is a puppet state
I say that Icecrown Citadel deserves more than sanctions, maybe some kind of military intervention
That was a good raid. Good times.
So not only is USA not a member of the ICC, they want to sanction now professionals working in the ICC for doing their work.
"The U.S. is one of only a handful of states, including Israel, not party to the Rome Statute; the U.S. has long been hostile to the ICC, potentially in part due to some U.S. officials’ implication in alleged war crimes, as some commentators have pointed out."
