The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass.
As Europe moves to address its shame, it’s highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in the U.S.

@eunews final sums it up well: “We as Americans need to be looking at ourselves in the mirror. Why are we not having that same reaction [as Europe]?” said Rufus Gifford, a former Obama-appointed ambassador to Denmark. “Without a doubt how Trump has acted has filtered down to broader society. But I think the question that we have to ask is whether or not this existed before Trump, and Trump is just a symptom of that larger problem.”

@eunews@mastodon.social This feels like a rather self-congratulatory angle to focus on.

@gerbrand@fosstodon.org @eunews@mastodon.social I mean, the guy before him did get away with murder and torture, so it's probably a tad older than Trump.

It's not hitting the rich and powerful. It's cutting down the hangers-on.

The "political" class are the trillionaires in the US, this is the difference. The US lost justice on every BRIBERY level, it's up to the people to SERVE JUSTICE!

@eunews that's because United States is most corrupt place on Earth working side by side with Israel who started the whole thing. Won't be any consequence in US. From who.... FBI? Lol

@eunews Funny how it somehow feels like it's less about getting justice for the victims and more like it's about picking out someone you don't like and seeing if you can get them down so you can get on top yourself instead.
Powerful white men caused the scandal and powerful white men are trying to use the fallout for power. Nothing is changing.

@flesh @gerbrand @eunews
They've (American Presidents of BOTH stripes) have been getting away with murder and torture since their inception. I would challenge anyone to come up with an administration that didn't do murder and torture. Count em on one hand right?And since 9-11 there has not been a single one. ☠️ 🇺🇸 ☠️

@eunews I think Politico ought to be ashamed. An article with this title - as if they aren’t *contributing* to the ongoing abuse?
“[No] evidence has suggested that [Trump] took part in Epstein’s trafficking operation.” -

@clintruin @flesh @eunews no and no president did anything to abolish institutes of oppression there predecessor had set up. Biden could have abolished ICE but chose not to. Not to mention Obama.

@gerbrand @clintruin @flesh @eunews I love how in your head presidents exist in a vacuum with no outside influences. Grow up. Look at how many lies the right has been able to fuel out of the BLM protests and immigration has long been their boogeyman man. Had Obama done as you say we'd STILL be stuck in a right wing fascist totalitarian regime because they could have whipped up 3x the fear. Citizens United made sure of that. But keep screaming 'both sides'. It's what the right wants.

Dude - My comment is about the history of America. I can't stop reality from being reality. Every regime since 9-11 (and many more) has been guilty of torture and murder. Simply a fact.If you're gonna tell me any of them are clean I'm actually kind of embarrassed for you.

@clintruin @gerbrand @flesh @eunews And a fallacy of scale is still a fallacy of scale. But good job moving those goalposts so quickly, ma'am.

Decency, accountability vs a bunch of blatant immoral thugs in rule… it cannot go on like this, I do hope this aberration will prove self destructive…

@faraiwe @glyph Yeah at this point I have to assume that if you choose to work for Oracle, you’re aware of the possible/likely personal outcomes.
-
@glyph The most interesting to me is that Oracle’s shifting to a “BYOC” model where their customers have to pay for the hardware build-out to get the capex off of Oracle’s books. How popular do you reckon that’s going to be?
