Those people are so deeply involved with Epstein, it's impossible to sum it up in a HN comment.

Innocent until proven guilty if we have a functioning executive branch for the proving part. Epstein showed the world that we don't, which is my original point. You may not be convinced (although if you don't know who Wexner is, you're not very informed about the case). Most people do though, and they think our justice system is a fraud.

Participating in the child sex trafficking ring, although Wexner's involvement goes far deeper.
> The Trump administration explicitly aims to destroy that rule of law.

It's not just Trump. Trump and Biden both shredded the rule of law for Israel. I think both parties being captured by a genocidal foreign government has caused mass dissolution with the ability of the US to act within any framework that brings justice.

I wonder how much the complete impunity of those involved with Jeffery Epstein has destroyed the faith in the executive branch? People like Leon Black, Les Wexner and a couple of presidents not only escaped justice, but pretty much any scrutiny by any institution, media included. I think it's hard for people to look at that and not think they need to take the law into their own hands.

Sadly you can't, and this is a huge flaw in the venture capital model. They invest in people that they think other vcs will invest in. More often than not who your parents are matters more than anything (unless you've had a huge exit like the OP). They'll also throw money at you if you come from a rich family, not because they think you'll succeed, but because they want your family's money as LPs in their funds.

The entire history of the US is founded on white supremacy. From the genocide of Indigenous people, to slavery, to Hiroshima, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine...

This has already happened with media for the past 100+ years. We're shown what companies and governments want us to see. People develop parasocial relationships with people they see on tv...

Israel murdered almost 200 innocent people today. They are bombing civilians.
Israel is a modern day Nazi Germany. I wouldn't call anyone there over the age of 18 "innocent".

It was mentioned in this thread and quickly flagged, but Israel broke the ceasefire today by attacking civilians in Lebanon so Iran closed the straight. It was open prior to the ceasefire violation.

France's Macron actually just commented on this: https://x.com/EmmanuelMacron/status/2041990505760772551

Israel has murdered tens of thousands of women in the past few years alone.
There was never going to be a regime change. Continuing the war meant many Americans were going to die (in addition to bankrupting the US). I'm a US citizen and very glad Iran came out on top here.
Israel stole nuclear secrets from the US, has committed genocide against its neighbors and literally exists solely on ethnically cleansed land. They have blackmailed multiple US presidents. Thankfully Iran won this war and can keep Israel in check until it permanently disappears.
Joe Biden also committed genocide for Israel.
We are captured by Israel and working against our own interests because they are blackmailing and bribing our leaders.
There are a lot of Zionists that patrol this site and this is exactly what they want and support.
Israel/the US started the war by murdering 160 Iranian school girls and has been murdering civilians non-stop since (and before) then. How many civilians has Iran killed?

Again, the US has the largest nuclear program by a long shot. Russia isn't even in the top 5. Please go back and reread the source I posted.
Re:US forces locate and evacuate downed airman in Iran on Monday April 06, 2026 @05:23PM (#47667336)
No, I don't care about Russia one way or the other. I do think my money was stolen to fund the Ukraine though. I'm not an extremist, I'm no Zionist.
Re:US forces locate and evacuate downed airman in Iran on Monday April 06, 2026 @05:23PM (#47667328)
The "suicide bombers" are people who had their families murdered by Zionists. A fully expected and understandable response to such a thing.
That one is so good.
Except that only the US and Israel are bombing schools.
Incorrect, and just yesterday Trump admitted that these weren't "protesters", they were heavily armed (by the US) insurrectionists trying to overthrow the government. Iran was right to fight them.
Trump just yesterday admitted to arming anti-Iranian insurrectionists. So Iran did not "murder 100s of their own people", they fought off a CIA armed coup.

Yes, Shia Islam does not "embrace martyrdom" in that they do not want to live. I think they handle us murdering them en mass with the utmost grace, maybe that's where you are confused?
Re:US forces locate and evacuate downed airman in Iran on Sunday April 05, 2026 @10:39PM (#47656376)
> Iran is a regime with an ideology that embraces martyrdom.

This is awful propaganda. Iran is a beautiful nation with modern people. Israel is a barbaric, backwoods terror state that attacked it. I fully support Iran and trust them with nuclear weapons a million times more than my own country.

Re:US forces locate and evacuate downed airman in Iran on Sunday April 05, 2026 @07:24PM (#47654975)
I said the US had the largest nuclear program and I was right. I even provided a source.

You are also breaking site guidelines, badly.

Re:US forces locate and evacuate downed airman in Iran on Sunday April 05, 2026 @07:17PM (#47654934)
You're both moving the goalposts and ignoring my larger point. A nuclear armed Iran is good for the world. The US and Israel cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons unchecked.
Re:US forces locate and evacuate downed airman in Iran on Sunday April 05, 2026 @04:51PM (#47653753)
I said nuclear program and I was correct by a very wide margin:

> The United States again spent more than all of the other nuclear armed states combined: $56.8 billion. China was the second largest spender at $12.5 billion, less than a quarter of U.S. spending. The third largest amount, $10.4 billion, or 10% of the total figure, was spent by the UK.

Is there still a market for Zionist war propaganda parading as entertainment? I think when the boomer generation is gone, this won't be a viable movie to make.
