This is likely a physical defense reaction against the prosecution of serious criminals who are waging a war to cover up their own misdeeds. Perhaps he should seek advice from Bibi.

Yes, I'm simplistic when it comes to this: I wouldn't accept being ruled by organized crime that covers up its heinous crimes by starting a war. But hey, it's nice that you know the names of two renowned psychologists.

I have given up hope that the US population can be counted on. They have allowed too many atrocities to happen, and it is equally obvious that they will not even act for their own sake.

I simply do not accept arguments such as "there is no evidence," because only the worst can be expected from the US - the evidence is the president who leads the US.

Looking at the comments here, even here in the Fediverse, it's quite easy to understand how the US regime is possible despite its completely obvious depravity.

Of course it is tragic, heartbreaking even. But what bothers me about the term tragic in this context is that it makes it sound as if the deaths of these innocent girls were inevitable, as if they had been killed in a natural disaster for which no one is responsible.

However, that is not the case here at all: these girls were murdered by ruthless criminals.

I didn't want to start a discussion about the pros and cons of megathreads, I just wanted to ask whether this is common practice in the Fediverse. That doesn't seem to be the case - and for good reason, given the decentralized nature of the network. For the sake of simplicity, it would be welcome for some topics, but I'm sure we'll manage just fine without it.

We really need to see that it is in our own interests to eradicate US lobbying. This also means that all EU politicians who have allowed themselves to be bribed must be removed from office.

In my opinion, this includes the majority of politicians from established parties who have been in government in EU countries in the last 10 years.

It is simply necessary to hold them accountable, as voters have rightly lost confidence in them. If there are no consequences, parties such as the AfD in Germany will prevail, which has "Alternative" in its name but absurdly tries to conceal the fact that it is nothing more than MAGA with that: a neo-Nazi party that propagates fascism and is controlled by the same billionaire financiers who helped Nazi ideology succeed in the US - for the same reasons: the realization of the omnipotence trauma of fascist billionaires.

This is not tragic, but a war crime - and this war is itself a crime, simply because it is completely contrary to international law.

Yes, and it's also great that the regime is setting up a secret police force with ICE that has a budget equivalent to the military spending of a medium-sized country...

Seriously, how can any reasonably rational person accept this? Why doesn't the population paralyze the country with a general strike until this criminal regime is forced to resign? That would also be an opportunity to finally overcome the associated oligarchy and force through the reforms that have been necessary for ages. This includes a fundamental update of the constitution, which has not been updated for at least 150 years, something the US seems to be proud of for some inexplicable reason, which can only mean that this country is unaware that it is still celebrating a system of apartheid.

The same applies to the rule that constitutional judges are elected for life - for obvious reasons, there is no other democratic country in the world that would adhere to this; likewise, there is no democratic country that has an electoral college system or similar that does not even take into account the population of a particular state.

Well, that may be one of the countless reasons why the US, under reasonably sensible leadership, has not attempted to attack Iran. Now it has come to pass because a pedophile, threatened by his heinous deeds catching up with him, decided to try it anyway in order to distract from the crimes he and his degenerate crew are committing - in open violation of international law as well as US law. He and his accomplices in Israel apparently trust that the US citizens will let him get away with it unpunished. How about it, US citizens - is that the case? Is there really no justice left in your country?

What's up with the Epstein Files?
