Prince Andrew was arrested and released in the same day, wasn't he? Like... Come on, now.

He also wasn't even arrested for raping children, it was for other reasons.

When was the last time a royal family member was arrested?

The DOW fell back below 50k the same day btw

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 2 days ago (2 children)

If only that would mean they would start the investigations.

BTW: it such a fucking bad argument. The people that benefit the most from DOW being at 50,000 are the same people that are in these files.

Well that and the olds who vote who live on a fixed income tied to the performance of the stock market 🫠

They arrested him for other shit

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

And immediately released him. What a farse.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

A farce, even.

That's how being arrested works. Do you think he can't afford to post bail?

Bail should not exist for rich people. If they try they should have their knee cap privilege revoked.

And he was detained for all of 11 hours. Lot of weird misinformation going around regarding this.

Police are investigating Mandelson over claims he passed sensitive government information to Epstein a decade and a half ago. He does not face allegations of sexual misconduct.

This is what i mean when i say that different people interpret the same words differently. Take the word "freedom" as an example.

To some people, "freedom" means freedom to do what they want as long as it doesn't harm other people. that's liberalism.

To others, "freedom" means to be able to be economically successful. The consequences are that economic growth (of any form) are considered more important than not harming other people. And that's what you hear Bondi formulate in her speech: "Yes, he did abuse children, but the economy is doing great. So it's ok."

On the bright side, I can't get How is the DOW out of my head now.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago

Beat me to it.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

That's brilliant. Except for her 9 year old spoiled brat attitude being missing, it sums it up pretty well.

It’s cause evil concentrated.

Most evil, super rich people end up in the US.

China would put most of these guys to death

I didn't look too much into it but I really hope that south korean guy actually had dogshit values and supported terrible things and they actually didn't purge him for not bootlicking corporations and the giving the "life need to be harder because fuck you" type people everything they want. Because that's usually why former heads of state get purged. Just saying.

You should look into it then, his actions will make it obvious that he is getting exactly what he deserves.
