  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

And yet not a single person involved is being persecuted, bizarre...

persecuted

I think the word you're looking for is "prosecuted"

[–] 20cello@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Yup,thanks and sorry for the typo 😅

It's crazy to me that people still think law in the US equally applies to everyone, and are in shock every time they see that it doesn't.

We’re not in shock, we’re increasingly dejected and occasionally it builds up enough to make us scream for a minute before worse news mutes us again.

MAGAts would have to admit they were at the very least wrong (if not complicit) for that, and we all know that ain't happening.

Apparently the orange pedophile/felon's poll numbers are going up suddenly.

Not prosecuted, but it's caused royals to lose their title, for example. And it's still going.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Ah yes, the famously abundant US royals.

Everyone involved would be immediately pardoned by the Orange Wig in Chief ™, so, no point yet

Uh, didn't Epstein go to jail

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Well yeah. He was the fall guy, and it's WAY easier to suicide someone when they're inside your prison.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

You don't like his tone, but it's very important those two people went to prison. Should more people be in prison? Absolutely.

We're in a worse situation than that now. There was some rule of law when those two went to prison. They likely wouldn't go today. They weren't just some "faces"; they were the primary people responsible for the crimes.

The murderers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti aren't in jail.

Because he has blackmail on the president, not because he was a child trafficker. He got like a could weeks of community service for that one... By the guy who later became a member of PEDOnald's cabinet
