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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

When the UK had a Prime Minister stupid enough to tank the economy like this, she was gone before you could eat a lettuce. But she only hurt her own country's economy, while Trump is doing worldwide damage. The USA needs to step up and get rid of this hopeless leader.
The U.K.'s democracy is, unfortunately, several times more competently constructed than the U.S. democracy. Lizz Truss could be removed because there were avenues put in place to legally remove her from her position, there are no such avenues in the U.S. Here, the only way a sitting president can retire is via gunshot.
Sounds like America needs forced to have some democracy
A fresh steaming cup or liber-tea!
Yeah, our “checks and balances” were designed poorly. The religious reverence placed on the constitution stopped it from evolving to be better. It needs a revamp on a major scale.
Our vote of no confidence is impeachment. Same problem in regards to the party selecting the party leader in the UK. You actually have to have MPs/senators that actually agree.
Until I see an impeachment actually result in the removal of a president, I don't seriously believe it is a viable method. Trump has been impeached twice so far with no consequences, so forgive me for having zero confidence in the third time being the charm.
He "learned his lesson" so he was allowed to stay in office. He learned his lesson alright. He learned he can do whatever he wants because the federal government is overrun with traitors.
At this point the only way it'd be possible is if one party controlled both chambers of congress. The current MAGA bunch would impeach and convict the next dem president for putting ketchup on their hotdog before mustard.
Also Fox News was a direct response to Nixon so it would never happen again to a GOP president. They won.
Yeah the problem isn't in our government structure, in this case, but in the republican cult of personality.
It sucks but the Republicans won a very narrow victory in the house senate and president. No matter what system you have, if it's at all democratic that party makes all the decisions. The problem is there making the decision to standby and watch as a demented oaf flushes the country down the toilet
And what exactly are the consequences of impeachment?
It removes a sitting president without a gunshot?
there are other more unconventional methods. a sharp metal sword, a rope,,,etc.
Trump was already impeached twice. He was not removed from office. Try again.
