Can we stop calling him Trump, and just refer to him as Epstein's friend.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

Epsteins enigmatic equal
Four people were arrested on "suspicion of malicious communications"
WTF? Sounds like some authoritarian thought crime BS straight from China, North Korea or Russia FFS (and more and more the US).
Thatβs the UK these days. Theyβre sliding into fascism almost as quickly as the US.
As they did in the 1930s before certain leopards ate certain faces.
Itβs odd because the βslideβ is overseen by the political alternative to the outright Trumpian fascism, voted in on a mandate of indifference to do maintenance on an economy in inescapable decline. Just wait until Farage takes power after the next general election.
In capitalist electoralism, all βsidesβ are subsumed by the needs of capital. Imperialism and neo-colonialism have stripped the last bit of fat from the corpse of the global south, and now the psychopaths turn their gaze homeward and begin to cannibalize their own. Our only hope is to drop the fake divisions of left and right and organize together as the people against the parasitic ruling class.
Labour were voted in on a mandate of "change" specifically. Literally, their one word slogan used during campaigning. Now, obviously they're the single transferable party, so nothing was actually going to change, but I do want to make sure no-one forgets that was their one promise.
But they do it with British understatement, that's why nobody around the world notices it. It's not as shrill, when people sipping tea say things like "Jolly, they invited our neighbours to the conci-tuffy-encampment. I reckon we won't having them over for tea that soon. My, my!"
Did he have to notify local authorities and residents before his visit or does the UK not have the same child predator laws as the US?
Same notification that Prince Andrew has to give; which is to say none as neither has been convicted of abusing minors, yet.
That's a really optimistic yet. Those two are too rich to be bound by laws like some disgusting prole.
I wonder how many "royals" are part *of Epstein's clientele.
When you turn 100 you get a card from the Queen/King. When you turn 14 you get a text from Prince Andrew.
yeah...Brits need to fix Randy Andy before they throw bricks at Trump.
Other than prince Andrew who is a given.
I think its easier to point out who isn't on the list.
I donβt. All.
And the police have arrested people for simply projecting an image onto the castle. Joke
I wonder if he'll come back with a fake English accent. An example would be his dissing Gavin Newsome. "You have a low I.Q., governor".
Fast tracking their return to the EU.
Please
