This guy just walked into the capitol of the United States and criticized the American people for exercising their first amendment right. The audacity.

Why are we allowing this man to address Congress? And why did anyone show up?

And isn't there an arrest warrant for him? Oh right:

Netanyahu’s visit comes two months after the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, announced he was seeking an arrest warrant for Netanyahu.

The US doesn't respect the ICC's authority anyway.

If we did we'd have to start handing over politicians lol

Which is not a bad thing at all. Do the crime do the time. Am I right?

You're absolutely right. However, when it comes to American foreign politics, glaring hypocrisy is not a bug, it's a feature.

What's the downside?

Just that they have to decide to hand themselves over and that seems unlikely.

over a hundred Democrat congresspeople boycotted the speech. The republicans had their staff sit in to make the crowd look full

Yup, shoulda sat in, then up and left when he started his speech.

They had so many absentees they needed Elon Musk to fill up the benches. Which is when you know it is bad.

Half of them were fucking clapping. It's surreal.
