Out of curiosity, has Congress ever previously invited a foreign leader who (a) is under indictment by the ICC and/or (b) presided over a military strike that killed an American?
None of these (2007-2024) seem to fit the bill. sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/IF1...

i mean, yeah, they've invited plenty of us presidents who have committed war crimes and killed americans; not sure why not being local should make a difference

I've already called my Senator each of the past 2 days --- Now I need to call them both again and tell them Schumer is a disgrace and is not fit to be the Democratic leader. What a stupid, stupid man.

Yitzhak Rabin was personally involved in the decision to continue the attack on the USS Liberty as Chief of Staff of the Israeli Air Force and addressed Congress in 1994.

No (there's not many foreign leaders who have had ICC warrants issued, and the ones that have until now were not friends with the US)

Gobsmacking levels of self-sabotage. We do not have leaders in charge. I don't know WHAT they are doing.

Under the DNC political strategy known as "triangulation," reactionary policies, likely to alienate some on the left, can be used to win elections.
