World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Cool, now start naming the Dems as well. This isn't a political issue. Everyone related to this shit needs to be held accountable.
OK, Donald J. Trump. He was a democrat at the height of his Kiddy-Diddling-with-Jeff phase.
They will genuinely attempt to explain it away with this reasoning. I'm calling it now. Once he saw the light and was blessed by the republican party it washed away this filthy democrat urge...
I hope I'm wrong, but I sadly think I'm not.
I never considered that approach, but that would sound like a convenient excuse and the religious "forgive the sins" people will eat it up, blind to how he acts the same now as he did then.
Jesus fuck stop giving them ideas. If they try this then I blame Pissmidget for everything.
Fuck... We all want to leave our mark on the world, but not like this...
Everybody always seems to forget about the Southern Strategy, where Donald Trump realized that conservatives in the South were the dumbest people in America, even dumber than Trump himself, and that if he switched to the Republican party, and then talked louder and more confidently than other people, these dumb shit conservatives would worship him and do whatever he says.
He was undercover to expose Epstein and being a Democrat was just part of his persona.
Was fucking kids part of his cover too?
"See Jeffrey? I fuck kids too. You can trust me."
Duke of York, famous republican
To be fair, he's done a lot for the UK's republican movement.
Fuck off with this. The VAST majority of people with half a brain don't give a shit if it's a D or R next to the name. I'm sure there are Democrats that are in there, however, the long list of rich/politicians that have been found guilty of sexual crimes, child rape/CSAM ARE majority Republicans.
If you rape children, you should face the consequences, full stop.
That's exactly what I said, idiot.
I can only think that you had a knee-jerk reaction assuming my initial word choice meant something that it clearly didn't. That reaction is a large part of the problem with online discourse getting nowhere and everyone arguing all the time. You're arguing with people agreeing with you for no fucking reason because you're not actually stopping to understand the comments before responding.
The way you worded your statement definitely made more than just me assume your intent, hence the down votes.
Not surprising that people here have terrible reading comprehension and just vote and post knee jerk reactions based on their biases just like everywhere else. Social media was a mistake across the board. It'll be the downfall of our society.
Clutch your pearls elsewhere weirdo
Of course, it's everyone else that's wrong.
I mean, yeah in this case that seems to be indicated by the evidence.
I get downvotes yet the responses are agreeing with what I said.
I can only assume that because I called out the Dems for bullshit politicas releasing only certain names and protecting their own, people are assuming I'm trying to make the opposite claim, yet the next 2 sentences prove otherwise.
So they're not actually reading and comprehending the comment, they're just reacting to their own assumption of what the rest of my comment must be in their head.
That certainly seems to indicate that people have terrible reading comprehension, vote, and comment without actually reading the comments fully.
So you tell me... if they're agreeing with my comments, then why the downvotes if not a lack of reading comprehension and impulse control on social media?
It could just be that you're getting down votes because your tone makes you sound like an arsehole, rather than it being specific to the content of what you're saying 🤷
You're more than welcome to remove yourself from social media.
They have. It's just overwhelmingly Republicans that want to touch kids
Yeah, we said "unredacted"!
Redacting the names of victims is entirely appropriate and right.
You do have a point.... But how do we know they're not using that to hide shit? I mean, of course they would...
Its possible, sure.
But I'd also point out those aren't the only three names in this new set of documents. Bill Gates is in there, another with Rich Kahn (Epstein accountant, who just last year along with Darren Indyke, espteins lawyer, tried to prevent themselves from being named in suits by victims), researchers like Joscha Bach, his lead attorney Reid Weingarten, etc.
This is only evidence of association, and not of crimes. There are quite a few names in these ledgers, Thiel, Musk, and Bannon are notable because its new information and well known names.
Edit: I'd add two other items - fully unredacted would just mean the victims will get targeted again, and that republicans are more than welcome to vote to release more details. They constantly keep blocking it.
Probably because of things like this:
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/8/21/2339592/-Republican-Sexual-Predators-Abusers-and-Enablers-Pt-57
Which is now up to part 57. I've yet to see a similar list of democrats, but considering the religious right, I do say its far more likely to see a lot of republicans with Epstein and committing crimes than democrats. So we'll probably see a few more democrats at some point, but I think the numbers will lean heavily republican because they are just more likely.
Are you the Karen that was yelling say Charlie Kirk's name at Starbucks?
No, I'm demanding everyone involved be held responsible regardless of the political party, as I said in my comment. But apparently people here seem to not like that idea based on the downvotes.
Nobody is against outing all the perverts, but let's start with the asshole that is clearly using the government to cover it up.
One doesn't prevent the other. Congress can do more than one fucking thing at a time, despite what they try to make us believe with this type of bullshit.
Oh no. You are the Karen. You are having an argument with yourself. Nobody wants to protect pedophiles, or arguing that only Trump should be investigated. They are upset by the clear abuse of power in the cover-up perpetrated by Jeffy's best pal.
