World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Trump had said he doesn't care about the mid terms. They will either be heavily rigged it canceled likely. He's a petulant child and their just waiting to be humiliated honestly.
Trump desperately cares about the midterms. Hes still hung up on a nearly decade old loss and can’t handle even a modicum of criticism
He's still hung up on comments made about him personally from nearly 40 years ago. The thing is he's not on any ballot in the midterm. He will 100% rationalize the failure of any candidates he endorses as their own personal failings and not his. All the while all the Yes Men and the LLMs he surrounds himself with will reinforce his viewpoint to him. He doesn't have the object permanence or intelligence to care any further than that.
Case in point. When it comes to his stolen election witch hunt that he's still pursuing. It's always been about him. Just him, only him. Not about Republicans. Just him. It's literally what he did in 18 and 22. They are right now gearing up to rig and steal all future elections. Even best case turnout for Democrats and other parties this midterm they will not take sufficient amount of the Congress to actually remove Trump even if they manage to impeach him again. And if someone of moderate intelligence manages to hold on to Trump's ear they will convince him not to run in 2028, to put someone else up. At which point he won't care at all. His damage will be done. If however his sycophants tell him he should run in 2028. If he loses he absolutely will lose his shit. But only because it relates directly to him. He will still suffer no real consequences for it besides possible assassination.
Maybe he doesn't care because his doctors have repeatedly told him he'll be dead by then.
Of course he does. He doesn't want to be impeached.
You can't be serious
He's already been impeached at least twice. I don't think he's that worried about it. He's completely insulated from consequences for the rest of his life at this point. Apart from assassination.
