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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

Here's the thing. There's absolutely no way his cronies, nor the American population itself (which they should feel ashamed about), will ever EVER put any consequences on this orange child rapist. Ever.
I think he could literally rape a child on the Whitehouse lawn and nothing would be done about it. Nothing. Shameful.
On the other hand death is inevitable. So in these two imperfect scenarios I'm wishing for death.
My perfect list goes like this:
1 Arrested. Convicted. Jailed for his crimes. (The same fate to his cronies, and family, will soon follow)
2 Painful untreatable disease that debilitates him completely so all he can do is sit in shit and watch as his cronies and family are arrested then jailed. The tRUMP name becomes synonymous with corruption, and the whole empire is taken to pieces while he watches.
3 Slow very painful death. Cronies and family get fucked over as above etc etc.
4 Slow very painful death.
5 Slow painful death.
6 and onwards are the death option with various amounts of pain
...
998 Quickish death with pain
999 Slow death no pain but the terror of him realising he's dying.
1000 Death.
As you can see death is my last option, but it's the only option that will actually happen.
The only saving grace about all this is that history will treat him and his name accordingly. The recent Epstein debacle proves this. Yes he may be able to hide all this whilst he is alive, may be. But not when he's dead.
I don't think he could rape a child on the Whitehouse lawn. I know you're being over the top for the sake of the example, but the reason that wouldn't work out for him is that:
Lose any of those criteria and he'd get away with it, but all three? I think that's too much. His supporters are low information narcissists who happily drink spin with every meal. But if you force them to confront something that actually affects them, or that they can actually feel, then the spell starts to break. Half the problem with everything he does is that it's missing one of the above, or it takes too long for the negative effects to be felt.
haha ok. Well, Chavez once said "I am more dangerous dead than alive," and he was right. He died of cancer and Venezuela never recovered - he practically became an adored saint. Untouchable. Venezuela's chavism played Cuba's book. Now the U.S. is too with trumpism.
