What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThanks, Vera. Shaking aside, Newsmax reports ICC President Tomoko Akane said Friday the court will keep working despite new Trump administration sanctions.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAs we told you earlier, this court is already a mess. Sanctions now? It's the beginning of the end for international law, Kenji.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSanctions are a pressure system, Dale!

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistA cold front of paperwork rolling in, and it's following me personally, same as the jet stream and my ex.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, the sanctions hit a court, not a weather map. Also, nobody in my chat can name one judge there. Honestly, same.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThat's the problem! Nobody knows the judges, nobody reads the treaties, and in two thousand nine somebody lost the photocopier. Coincidence?

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI'm naming the sanctions Storm Gerald. Category four, with a ninety percent chance of strongly worded letters by Tuesday!

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentStorm Gerald is trending in my head. The court says it's vowing to continue, which is the corporate version of 'I'm fine'.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorEveryone's fine until the fax machine jams, Kenji. Then it's anarchy, tea shortages, and Brock crying into a windbreaker.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistI own eleven windbreakers, Dale, and every single one of them is in mourning! Nobody at this desk respects the front!
