In case you're wondering, this is the human rights lawyer Amal Clooney's husband. Not sure why his opinion was sought though.

He had many thoughts on Biden’s mental state and fitness for office. Maybe they wanted to see if he could scrape together the same venom for an even more senile but far more malevolent tub of shit?

“George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin this year. Amal is a human rights lawyer who worked on the Enron case, an adviser to Kofi Annan on Syria, and was appointed to a three-person commission investigating rules of war violations in the Gaza strip. So tonight her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award.” - Tina Fey hosting 2015 Golden Globes

Cause he’s a celebrity, and no one has heard of his wife. In this day and age, it seems people care more about celebrity, influencer, and right leaning comedians political views when it comes to politics compared to other more qualified people who speak on the subject, and use their ideas to heavily influence their vote, which has led us into this shitstorm we are currently experiencing.

It’s really easy to not be tried for war crimes. Billions of people are doing it every day: Step 1: Don’t commit war crimes. That’s actually all there is to it. Seems crazy, I know!

> “Some say Donald Trump is fine. But if anyone says he wants to end a civilization, that’s a war crime,” Clooney said on Wednesday in Cuneo, Italy, according to Italian news agency ANSA. The actor was speaking in front of 3,000 high school students at a special event organized by the Clooney Foundation for Justice. > “You can still support the conservative point of view, but there must be a line of decency, and we must not cross it,” he added. > “I’m worried about NATO,” Clooney said. “It has ensured that Europe, but also the rest of the world, has been safe. Dismantling an institution like this worries me. Aside from many mistakes, I believe the U.S. [with NATO] has also done many extraordinary things that have stood the test of time.”

It’s only a war crime if that “person” has the means to carry out his threat. Trump has the means. TACO may someday put himself in a situation without any off-ramps where he couldn’t chicken out. He’s not competent to hold the office

Every time George Clooney dares to open his mouth after helping get Trump elected and then bailing to Europe I want to punch something. The audacity of this piece of shit shocks me. He didn't even stay here in the United States to try and help make up for what he did and fight the good fight. I f****** despise that man.

? Biden currently has stage 4 cancer. Why on Earth was he a consideration? 82 years old during the election. The DNC knew exactly what it was doing by keeping him propped up. It is absolutely shameful. An open primary and acknowledgement of Biden health and future should have occured. It did not and Trump swept the nation.

Dont know if clooney’s mocking really shifted anyone’s opinion. Biden’s mental decline was presented literally on stage during debate for everyone to see. IMO the overall majority of the blame goes to the DNC for f****** over yet another election in the name of status quo.

The process of removing him from office could begin this minute, but the Republican party refuses to admit what a demonstrably failed President Donald Trump is because they have far too much to gain by remaining in power. This has nothing to do with patriotism, or loyalty to the country. The leader of our country credibly threatened the world with a type of Armageddon it has never before seen - with the chance of nuclear weapons being dropped oddly lurking as a distinct possibility - and yet this *STILL* isn't enough. We're fucked.

If civilians uttering a threat at another civilian is a crime, then why not hold a public figure to the same standard at the minimum? After all, if someone publicly said that about the USA, you know the US would be bouncing about asking for extradition of that person to face terrorism charges in the US.

“We’re gonna be fine. We’ll all get through it. And you know, we do eventually find our better angels.” - this guy that packed up and moved to Europe so he doesn’t have to deal with everything going on. Pissed when I heard this interview last year, it’s so privileged to say oh we’ll get through it. Tell that to all the folks suffering in immigration detention centers right now - the pregnant children in detention camps because they’ve been assaulted while in custody. Maybe his human rights lawyer wife can explain the dead schoolchildren in Iran.
