Do you people understand how the house works? Jesus tap dancing Christ.

For the idiots trying to defend this piece of shit and claiming this is done by biden's "opposition" or whatever, he obviously does agree with the move.
Biden denounces ICC for ‘outrageous’ implication of equivalence between Israel and Hamas
The Biden administration on Monday forcefully denounced efforts by the International Criminal Court to seek arrest warrants for top Israeli officials and Hamas leaders, saying the court’s efforts put the terrorist organization and a top US ally on equivalent footing.
The picture shows Biden but the text says House which is controlled by Republicans.
Very disingenuous. Not even the same branch of the government.
Don't worry, he completely agrees with the move as you'd expect.

And why would it matter if it's a rep or dem doing something specifically? They're the two parties of capital and instruments of the capitalist class; one cannot exist without the other. It doesn't matter which one specifically has been doing the most recent fascist shit.
One was trying to pass a law to sanction ICC the other said it was outrageous to equate Israel with Hamas.
Double standard when it comes to their interest.
A bit disingenuous to put a picture of the head of the executive branch under a comment about a legislative body’s passed bill.
He agrees with it like you'd expect so no need to worry.

Regardless, he is the face of the US empire right now. Makes sense to have his pic when the US is doing something again
Definitely. Yet on brand for .ml
Vote harder and maybe Genocide Joe will get to keep building his legacy for another 4 years.
You do realize Biden has announced his support for denouncing the ICC for this very action by the House right? He absolutely should be held to account for it.
EDIT: Ok pedants, Sanction and 'denounce' are not the same - I get it. One has actual limitations preventing us from interacting with the people who don't even want to come here anyway.
They all behave like sovcit level nuttiness?
Well, I read that as Biden saying “Are you insane?”
You know Biden is not part of the House and the House is run by Republicans, right?

Shitlibs being pedantic and trying to defend fascists is always hilarious, even if expected
Way to completely miss the point. He's obviously there cuz he's the current US president.
If they wanted to dunk on biden specifically of course, they could've just pointed out how he's has been bypassing congress to send weapons to israel faster, or how he walked back the few sanctions on israeli settlers that were only for optics anyway since it was to pretend as if the state itself wasn't behind it, but this is just the most recent shit the US is doing.
Edit: Looks like Biden does agree with the move against the ICC too, so there's no need to bring up all the other shit he's done specifically.
Under the caption about something the House did...
If you're gonna be such a pedantic shitlib, should I edit the caption to be something from this article Linkerbaan mentioned? Since it's about this incident specifically.

Why go out of your way so much to try defending a fascist? Why do you have an image saved on your device to defend this piece of shit online?
I'd be Ok with changing that caption, don't blame Biden for the stupid shit the House is doing.
Being pedantic and defending fascists is also very hot right now among shitlibs apparently
Replace the caption with any of the other shit biden specifically has done that they mentioned if you're this much of a redditor
I'm all for blaming Biden for things he did.
Sanctioning the ICC is not one of them and was done by his opposition.
Dems and reps are equally part of the ruling capitalist class and are the parties of capital. There is no real "opposition" between the two aside from optics.
And as you'd expect, Biden does of course agree with this move like another user mentioned.
There absolutely is opposition between the sides.
The right wants to take away womens rights.
The left wants to take away gun rights.
Just as a quick example.
? Of course there is opposition between the left and the right. What does that have to do with two right wing genocidal capitalist parties?
They are not both right wing.
Examples:
Left:
Student loan forgiveness.
Right:
Blocking student loan forgiveness.
Alternately:
Right:
Capital Punishment
Left:
Blocking Capital Punishment
Is it also "left wing" to bypass congress to send weapons to a genocidal state faster? Or denounce the ICC for actions against that state like in the post you're commenting on?
Studen loan
Education Dept. announces highest federal student loan interest rate in more than a decade
And the student loan interest rate has fuck all to do with the plans on the left to forgive student loans, plans which are continually blocked on the right.
You can't take a single issue and go "BoTh sIdEs aRe tHe sAmE" when they clearly are not.
The right wants to invade Mexico for gods sake!

OK, so replace his photo with any congressperson if you insist on being so pedantic.
The point is the absurdity of american government, which Biden as the president, is a symbol of.
When advantageous, most republicans would also claim that the US respects international law, then turn around and pass a vote like this.
EDIT: about a third of house dems supported the bill
Well Mike Johnson would be most fitting as he is the speaker and decides which bills are up for a vote.
They probably don’t, but obfuscation gets more clicks when trolling for engagement.
the united states has never bowed to international authority. ever.
Don't they have plans to break out any US soldier about to stand trial in the ICC/Hauge?
Yes, part of George Bush Jr's administration put that in place
