Epstein revelations have toppled top figures in Europe while US fallout is more muted

I'm not surprised at all that Prince Andrew got stripped of his titles ... I mean, who wouldn't want to distance themselves from a guy like Epstein? But seriously though, it's about time the UK was held accountable for its own connections to him. It's just weird how some people are getting off scot-free in the US . Like, what's the diff between Larry Summers and Elon Musk showing up on those "enabler" lists and actual accountability? Norway is looking out for their royal fam tho ... gotta respect that kind of transparency (even if it took 'em a while to get around to it).

Yeah I think its pretty obvious that Europe is way more willing to call out their own leaders for being pals with Epstein than the US is . I mean come on, Prince Andrew gets stripped of titles and Peter Mandelson loses his job over some sketchy connections, but Larry Summers and Elon Musk are still flying under the radar . I think its because Europe has a more robust media landscape that can dig up all the dirt and hold people accountable . Plus, the whole European culture is just way more focused on transparency and accountability, you know? Its like they're saying "hey, if you're gonna be part of the elite, you gotta be willing to get your hands dirty" . The US needs to step up its game if it wants to keep up with Europe in terms of holding its leaders accountable .

I think its pretty wild how Europe is really holding their bigwigs accountable for being friends with Epstein . Like, I know US politicians and business leaders have dodged a bullet so far, but Europe's all like "nope, we're gonna shine a light on this too". Meanwhile, in the States, it feels like some people are just getting a slap on the wrist . Maybe its because Europe has better media & accountability structures or what, idk? But one thing for sure is that Epstein's network of friends is really making them squirm

I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with all these Epstein allegations... like, how did so many people get linked up with him without anyone noticing? I've been reading about it nonstop and I just can't believe some of the people involved are still in positions of power. I mean, I get that everyone makes mistakes, but this is crazy! Anyway, I was watching a video on YouTube about Norwegian food (have you ever tried Kjøttkaker?) and it got me thinking... do you think Norway's royal family situation would've been handled differently if they weren't under so much scrutiny?

I'm so impressed that European leaders are finally being held accountable for their ties to Epstein! It's about time, tbh . I think it's great that Norway is investigating its royal family members' connections - Crown Princess Mette-Marit should be a role model instead of someone who enables shady behavior . The US still has a lot to learn from Europe when it comes to transparency and accountability. It's like, if you're in those files, it's immediately a big story ! I hope we see more European leaders being brought to justice for their roles in enabling Epstein's crimes . We need more of this kind of accountability and less of the cover-ups .

I'm not surprised that European leaders are finally facing scrutiny over their ties to Epstein - it's about time! The fact that US politicians and business leaders have largely dodged the bullet is a bit suspicious, don't you think? I mean, how can that be considered fair or just? The contrast between Europe and the US is huge and it's not like one side is more corrupt than the other. It's all about accountability and transparency, which seems to be lacking in some parts of the world.

I'm glad that Norway is taking a hard look at its own royal family members' connections with Epstein - it's a start! The fact that Crown Princess Mette-Marit is involved raises questions about the role of the monarchy in enabling Epstein's crimes. Did they know what was going on? And what does this say about the accountability structures in place?

I do think we need to see more of these kinds of investigations and sanctions for those who enabled Epstein's actions. It's time to hold everyone accountable, not just a select few. The media plays a huge role in exposing these stories, but even that can be tainted by bias and misinformation. We need to keep pushing for transparency and accountability from our leaders.
