I wouldn’t fuck with George Clooney, Russia. His much more important wife is probably already planning to take you down in the ICC.

lolcatnip,

Not if the US takes down the ICC first!

What are they going to do, bomb The Hague?

Pretzilla,

More like ignore them. It’s been casually effective to date.

lolcatnip,

Although bombing isn’t off the table either.

does the hague have oil?

WanderingVentra,

Maybe they need some freedom.

Yeah, it really sucks that her husband is more well-known than her and I have a feeling he’d agree.

Ha! Say what you will about Obama, the man has a sense of humor.

Duamerthrax,

Suddenly the whole thing with him owning a spy satellite makes more sense.

Abo8t fuckin time!

luckystarr,

Given this reaction, he seems to be doing something which is working.

Adderbox76,

He is. He’s married to Amal.

Railcar8095,

I guess we will have to arrest renowned Russian actors like… Ehhhhhh… Eva Elfie?

Seriously, I was going to say Milla Jovovich but she’s Ukrainian.

lolcatnip,

Ivanna Sakhno? Wait, no, also Ukrainian.

BigBrainBrett2517,

Olga Kurylenko? Wait, no, Ukrainian as well.

HUMAN_TRASH,

Mila Kunis? Nope, also Ukrainian

AFC1886VCC,

Don’t bring Eva Elfie into this

I do enjoy her work

She is a master of her craft

Railcar8095,

She’s indeed a master bait.

I don’t know her ideologies, but I’m willing to separate the persona from her works.

rottingleaf,

I guess we will have to arrest renowned Russian actors like… Ehhhhhh… Eva Elfie?

I mean, it’s understandable that you want to arrest or at least detain her.

Railcar8095,

I would like her to arrest me honestly.

corus_kt,

Maybe it’s been all the terrible news lately, but every now and then nonsense news like this just brings a smile to my face

RagingSnarkasm,

Well now you have just gone too far.

FiniteBanjo,

The greatest batman of all time is gonna bring it to them.

bobs_monkey,

Nana nana nana na gratuitous nipples!

harmsy,

So, Kevin Conroy’s ghost is going to haunt Putin?

You can spread propaganda about Israel but we draw the line with George Clooney

It’s about time someone makes Clooney pay for his role in Batman and Robin.

SkaveRat,

He’ll just use his Bat-Creditcard

Hupf,

This sits right in the middle of the Bat Water Faucet and Mr Reese and I’m all for it.

Lost_My_Mind,

I’m sooooooooo confused by this story. First off, how is George Clooney authorized to arrest anyone??? Under what authority? And where would arrested convicts be held?

I guess the russia side of the story makes sense from their perspective. State run media, is spewing state run propaganda. That I get. I don’t agree with it, but I understand what is happening.

But I don’t understand how George Clooney is arresting anyone. Can Tom Hanks set up a foundation and arrest people? What would happen if Tucker Carlson moved to russia, and set up a foundation to arrest American reporters?

I do not understand the rules here at all.

nickhammes,

I assume his nonprofit is finding people with arrest warrants, and telling police where they’re located?

Hadriscus,

And where would arrested convicts be held?

Why, in the batcave, of course

Bat-cell

AngryCommieKender,

George doesn’t have any authority to do so. His wife, Amal however, is a prosecutor with the ICC.

InternetUser2012,

Pretty sure Clooney could put together a better army than Russia.

Clooney doesn’t have millions of prisoners to recruit

We hope

nondescripthandle,

Makes me chuckle to think that Russian propagandists are like ‘Well no one will believe us if we call him a bad actor’

Hupf,

It’s like during the crusades again when they accused the other side of acting in bad faith.

RizzRustbolt,

Everybody’s a critic.

Lost_My_Mind,

It stinks! It stinks! It stinks!

NounsAndWords,

This would explain the other article I saw about a US-Clooney $20 billion arms deal.

Lost_My_Mind,

No, actually. Totally unrelated if you can believe that. /j

TheFriar,

lol ok russia

gregorum,

I guess they’re over hating Alec Baldwin…

DragonTypeWyvern,

Alec Baldwin is bulletproof, unlike camera crew.

gregorum,

lol

Still, tho, I hope he gets a fair trial. It seems unfair that he should be held accountable for a mistake made by somebody else.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Even if they find him guilty (and it looks like the defense is still insisting he didn’t pull the trigger, which is both a pretty wild claim and something you’d think would have been filmed, right?) he’s apparently only looking at 18 months for involuntary manslaughter.

He’ll be fine. Something tells me his time will be served under house arrest at worst, and it’s not like he can’t afford good lawyers.

gregorum,

Even if

And I’m gonna stop right there. Your absurd, ridiculous, imaginary hypothetical has no meeting here. You are wrong, and if you cannot accept that you are wrong, I will always be here to keep telling you that you are wrong.

Your inability to deal with your own faults is a character flaw within yourself. That is not my responsibility to deal with, it is yours.

You will give up and stop commenting, or I will keep replying to you and telling you all of the way you are terribly terribly wrong.

You are doing this to yourself

DragonTypeWyvern,

Pretty bold statement to claim you know how a legal case you aren’t personally involved in will work out when the courts still don’t, lol

gregorum,

The only bold thing here is your presumption that I bare any responsibility for your mental illness.

Get your shit together

DragonTypeWyvern,

Lol, okay buddy

gregorum,

Admitting you have a problem is the first step in recovery. Congratulations.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Alec, is this you?

It will be okay buddy, you’ll make it through this.

Times are darkest before dawn, etc.

gregorum,

So, when you have no rational argument, you throw around lies and false accusations.

How does that usually work out for you?

DragonTypeWyvern,

I’m not sure if you’re reading too deeply into this comment chain or don’t know that Alec is back on trial, but, spoilers, they don’t generally do trials for rich old white people with open and shut cases of innocence.

What Alec will get is the best legal defense money can buy, and if that defense proves it wasn’t negligence on his part, good for him.

What no one but Alec can say at this point, and maybe not even him, memories and denial being what they are, is that they know for sure how the trial will go.

gregorum,

I’m not sure

And that’s where you let your delusion take hold. See… you made up a fantasy world in which you invented a situation that didn’t exists but in which I was wrong in a way you could rationally counterargue— but this was only a fantasy.

In reality, you’re just a troll.

Take your seething rage back to Reddit. They love irrational trolls there. You might even get paid by Trump!

DragonTypeWyvern,

I’m honestly wondering and worried that you’re actually Mr Baldwin at this point, with your weird level of anger over this fairly benign exchange.

Good luck with that!

gregorum,

When you come down from your drug trip, let me know what you took. Clearly you had quite an extraordinary time.
