So where are the alternative "facts" he is ignoring? That, in your opinion, something is "disgusting", is an opinion and not a fact. Your moral position doesn't change, nor trump the simple facts he posted.

The top-level commenter is ignoring the fact that the Rome Statute, which set up the ICC legally, gives the Court power to prosecute crimes that happened on Rome Statute party territory. The issue here is just that the US Government is powerful enough to ignore the ICC and retaliate/abuse the Court, and probably also that the US voters don't care about democracy or justice enough (otherwise the US politicians wouldn't dare do this).
