There isn’t a court outside of America that can hold the president accountable
Sure there is.
Literally any country that has had one of its citizens involved in Epstein’s sex trafficking can issue a warrant for Trump’s arrest and prosecution as an accomplice / co-conspirator.
Why the fuck not?
If we can kidnap a President of another country, and try them, for domestic crimes… so can anyone else!
That’s the precedent Trump just set.
Why respect really any international laws or norms, when it comes to the US?
Maybe I’m being a bit pessimistic here, but I somehow don’t see Cuba launching a massive air-sea operation to capture Trump in Mar-a-Lago while he’s busy jerking off to kiddie porn with his tiny little hands.
Even some liberals are starting to see the obvious here… courts of law doesn’t matter.

We don’t!

Because they have big guns and they’re not afraid to use them.
So do a lot of other people, now we’re back to a bunch of Hobbes’ Leviathans, vying for power like brutes, in the lawless ‘state of nature’.
States will now increasingly just do whatever they can get away with, and still save any face that they care to save.
Jesus, we just had to arrest all the world dictators? Well Jesus, nobody said it was so easy! Gosh we could have got Putin AGES ago!
Ah but why didn’t we?
Oh, thats right.
Because laws and norms are a formality, a kind of etiquette, a masquerade, nothing more, really.
Power does whatever the fuck it wants to, justifies it however it wants to.
If it doesn’t do something… it’s because it doesn’t want to.
