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.

I’m not saying the system was good (far, far from it) but this asshole walked into office and started dismantling 100 years of economic diplomacy and peace through trade. There’s no way you can tell me he isn’t a useful idiot for Russia.
Are we still doing the Cold War? An ever increasing number of drumps policies mostly benefit China
...You are aware of BRICS right?
And all it took was letting someone capture him doing the most vilest and evilist shit to children.
All it took was for virtually no one to do anything to stop him from doing whatever he wants
He's a useful fool every supermaster above him, especially those we don't know.
In a pub, in 2004, an ex-colleague of Trump's told us about what a joke of a narcissist he is, being played by his psychopathic handlers, priming him for a puppet presidency.
And his entire campaign was based on convincing willful idiots that his presidency would do the exact opposite.
Now the US is dead last in education, science, GDP and trade. Lmao
Good luck blaming all that on Biden and Obama as if it's possible to pretend that any facet of society wasn't objectively better. There is no war in Ba Sing Se!
Every day I get more and more depressed that he got a second term. We knew so much about him as a person before the election, and it has only gotten worse as time passes. The raping of children, his business practices, his racism, how he was raised, how he treats his family, his ties to the Russian mob... The fact that he's president is some kind of cosmic-level joke. The fact that the entire system let him become (and continue to be) president makes me lose faith in humanity. The Saul Goodman of slumloards was the best that the rich could pull off...and it WORKED? Like, are we always doomed to come back here? The powerful will always choose themselves over any common good. Even when the system resets, the accumulation of power is inevitable. Like... they chose him to dance and clown and do exactly what they want. I don't know whose hand is up his ass, but the fact that this is the guy, THE guy, and we watch him in real time dismantle 100 years of stabilizing economic policy, line his pockets, and more or less hand global hegemony to Russia and China.
All because he was an open secret of a rapist and Obama made fun of him once. I'm just dumbfounded. I truly thought better of humanity.
