Another Epstein diversion.
The really sad thing about this is I think you're right
President Donald Trump announced on Christmas that the U.S. has bombed “ISIS Terrorist Scum” in Nigeria.
Well merry Christmas to you too, I guess?
This is normal now. Christmas is about bombing scum, thanks giving is about retards or something.
I want my normal world back
How old ARE the kids he fucks? 4? 5?
Put a blindfold on this mother fucker and tie him to a pole atop the Capitol Steps.
Draw and quarter
Why? To ruin Christmas
It should be mentioned that the Nigerian government says they requested the strike
"It's Okay, we had permission to do this war crime."
Did they? All I see is this:
In a since-deleted tweet, U.S. Africa Command First said the strike was conducted at Nigeria’s request and killed multiple ISIS fighters in what it called an effort to eliminate terrorist threats.

It's not clear to me of that tweet was accurate or not, or if they were just saying they requested it
The Nigerian government also confirmed the US attack on Friday. The Foreign Ministry stated that such operations were part of ongoing security cooperation with the US, which had led to "precision strikes on terrorist targets" in the northwest of the country
I'm just so grateful that all the previous presidents refused to do this and setup safeguards to ensure that Trump will be punished. \s \s \s
Previous presidents are only part of the equation.
The other part is having a society that isn't stupid enough to elect a felon rapist pedophile insurrectionist.
The situation we find ourselves in is as much American's fault as it is our politicians. Actually moreso, since those politicians are only there because of American's decisions.
Morbid Elon fixed the election as he basically said he did.
Ehh... Wouldn't put it past him having told some engineer to rig it and boast about rigging the election, all while the engineer did fuck all, because they were just a janitor fixing the thermostat in the office of some rich douchebag high on ketamine.
it is one of the favorite he likes to say often on his reality show behind the scenes, except the -IA part.
Trump is a terrorist
Terrorists spreading terrorism
Attacked Venezuela. Largest oil reserves in the world.
Bombed Nigeria. Largest oil reserves in Africa.
Expressed an interest in invading Greenland. Guess what?
Killing Africans (Or anyone, except yourself) will not get you the nobel peace prize
Trump killing himself would be the ultimate catalyst for peace
I'm so sick of the US and its bullshit. And I say this as an American myself.
Apparently they hit an empty field with a dozen tomahawks, no casualties
What worries me is that these Boko Haram arses have kidnapped lots of children and young women over the years - I fear some could be killed in these strikes.

Every day I see a new headline and think, it's almost like this guy is trying to instigate WWIII by any means necessary because he wants to kill us all.
You know how these fascists are obsessed with patriarchy and authoritarianism? Sometimes narcissists commit familicide before they off themselves.
Yardley, Wilson, and Lynes divide familicides into four groups: anomic, disappointed, self-righteous, and paranoid.
In this typology, the "anomic" killer sees his family purely as a status symbol; when his economic status collapses, he sees them as surplus to requirements. The "disappointed" killer seeks to punish the family for not living up to his ideals of family life. The "self-righteous" killer destroys the family to exact revenge upon the mother, in an act that he blames on her. Finally, the "paranoid" killer kills their family in what they imagine to be an attempt to protect them from something even worse.
I have Trump pegged as the anomic type. Possibly disappointed.
And just like that, the name "Epstein" is forgotten by "The News."
How long are we going to tolerate Boomers existing and sacrificing the lives of children? Every war that has been initiated since Millennials started being born were started by Boomers: 1) Gulf 1 (Regan and Boomers); 2) War in Afghanistan, Iraq 1 and 2, Syria. Now, Venezuela and Nigeria?
On top of all that, climate change.
The world will be soooo much BETTER OFF once we finally start putting them in boxes
Was Charlie Kirk a boomer? What about the TP USA fans? There are a lot of young people in this group. You are aiming at the wrong target with boomers. Many of them were members and initiated the hippies and peace and love movement during the 60s.
Article talks about kids who were kidnapped from schools by gunmen. If you want to do something good, stop dropping indiscriminate bombs and go rescue those kids.
There's two things people in position of power are good at: talking about child safety, and not giving a single crap about actual kids.

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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.
