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.

In a good and proper world, JD Vance would get a bullet between the eyes.
I would rather him die of old age alone in a prison cell in The Hague.
Public hanging for being a traitor next to his orange messiah.
Their entire cabal should suffer the same way that We The People suffer under their rule.
Incarcerate them as common federal criminals.
Strip them of their material assets and mark them as sex offenders and ex cons. Then release them into our world: Where they have to use "marketplace" insurance that charges an arm and a leg but covers a pinky toe.
They can try to apply for loans with abysmal credit and a shitton of debt that keeps compounding because they can't pay off that debt.
Regardless of political following, the entire country knows or would find out quickly what terrible workers they would be at any real job, so they would need to apply and get ghosted endlessly to even begin to mount the steps to approach the class ladder they and their ilk constructed.
If they do get that job somehow. They get to enjoy clocking in and out every day, exhausted and abused, knowing the only influence they'll ever again exert is suggesting the taco value deal over the burger meal, or the brown purse over the black one. That every single day of this isn't getting them any closer to a brighter future or a way out of the cycle.
They'll go to their public libraries they fervently cried to defund, and they'll ask for help, but be kicked out by security after screaming about immigrants and bathrooms.
They'll be forced to use our crumbling, car-worshipping infrastructure after jumping through tons of hoops to validate their identification and get a driver's license and maybe even a "Real for really reals tho" ID if they ever want to board a plane. (But with today's airfare haha that's unlikely!)
See how far those bootstraps get them.
If a traffic accident, the healthcare system, garbage food, or gun violence doesn't do them in, they'll live out and die as they falsely professed themselves to be:
...Actual Americans like you and me.
I think we're more civilized nowadays. I'd be content with reintroducing the pillory. Especially the 'In addition to being jeered and mocked, the criminal might be pelted with rotten food, mud, offal, dead animals, and animal excrement' part.
Seriously though, hanging seems too quick/easy and I'm pretty sure public humiliation is a worse punishment for self important narcissistic fucks.
Thats fair. I want them to be displayed to the people. To say that we as a nation will not suffer treason and traitors.
I'd love to have a video of him bleeding out like I do Charlie Kirk.
