I have a bone to pick about:

PENDLETON made in the West since 1853*

*bullshit! They charge prices as if it were made in America. I went inside checking out inventory and much to my chagrin, the tag said CHINA..I was horrified- still holding the tag portion of garment in my hand when a sales associate approached..looked at me holding tag, looked at my face and ran for it..no words were exchanged.

A man was getting a haircut prior to a trip to Rome.
He mentioned the trip to his barber who responded...
"Rome? Why would anyone want to go there?
It's crowded and dirty and full of Italians.
You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?"
"We're taking American Airlines," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"
"American Airlines?" exclaimed the barber.
"That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly and they're always late.
So, where are you staying in Rome?"
"We'll be at the downtown International Marriott."
"That dump? That's the worst hotel in the city.
The rooms are small, the service is surly and they're overpriced.
So, whatcha doing when you get there?"
"We're going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope."
"That's rich," laughed the barber. "You and a million other people trying to see him.
He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."
A month later, the man again came in for his regular haircut.
The barber asked him about his trip to Rome.
"It was wonderful," explained the man, "not only were we on time in one of American Airlines s brand new planes, but it was overbooked and they bumped us up to first class.
The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a beautiful 28-year-old stewardess who waited on me hand and foot.
And the hotel -- it was great! They'd just finished a $25 million remodeling job, and now it's the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us the presidential suite at no extra charge!"
"Well," muttered the barber, "I know you didn't get to see the Pope."
"Actually, we were quite lucky, for as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the Pope likes to personally meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.
Sure enough, five minutes later the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand!
I knelt down as he spoke a few words to me."
"Really?" asked the barber. "What'd he say?"
He said, "Where'd you get the crappy haircut?"

He can use Trump's lawyer, if he's smart enough to keep himself out of jail after dealing with Trump, he should do. There will be plenty of rats at Donald's trial, Vlad's too. :lol:
He wont need Trumps lawyer- who probably isnt qualified for this type of charge anyway. Russia, America and China are not signatories to the ICC. India isn't either and they will soon be the worlds 3rd biggest super power. But i like Robertsons defence.

Well, if they catch Vlad outside of Russia and send him to the Hague, it won't matter much will it? I mean an unknown group of Russians could deposit him in Ukraine for disposal and he wouldn't even make it to the Hague, what Russia signed or didn't, would make little difference in court there either. It would be like Trump saying he refuses to recognize the court when they bust him, good luck with that.

It's not Robertson's defense, it's the poor defense Robertson thinks Putin will go for and will be easily dismissed by a judge because it's a fallacious argument. It's the ultimate toddler response, what's to like?

In America that has become a hall of mirrors with the investigators being investigated by congress, who they are investigating themselves for crimes! :lol:

Its probably the only defence he would have available and its interesting that the US, English and Australian leaders couldn't be charged for Iraq due to the law not existing. But i wonder if they would of been? The U.S isn't a signatory but England and Australia are.
America has trouble arresting a Prez for treason let alone sending one to gaol, for treason or war crimes.
Id love to see little Johnny Howard in gaol over Iraq.

Robertson was a great host of Hypotheticals. If you haven't seen it then i highly recommend.


Still relevant today.
Part 1 | Part 2 Although international law continues to evolve, dangerous and despotic leaders still escape the consequences of their actions. How can we make them accountable for...

Americas Bomb the Hague bill..lol. 1 to 2min in but like part one well worth a watch.
