President Donald Trump’s administration on Thursday imposed sanctions on four judges at the International Criminal Court, an unprecedented retaliation over the war tribunal’s issuance of an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a past decision to open a case into alleged war crimes by U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

Wow so much going on today, you might not even notice that Trump imposed sanctions on ICC judges and Netanyahu seems to be downplaying on Twitter the fact that he got caught arming clans of Palestinians to allegedly fight against Hamas.

You know, just a typical Thursday

    Been looking for what they are trying to distract us from seeing. Looks like I found one of the things at least.
