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.

The news I'd like to hear is that he's buried in the earth.
Yeah, but now we have unlimited fishing of an endangered stock, so well all vote for drumpf
Trump has never been brought 'back to Earth' by any of his many, many failures.
He gets caught in a lie, in public, and just smiles and nods.
In his mind, he's perfect, and no one can tell him different.
As much as I want to wake up to the news that he's dead, I would kill for a live stream of someone just completely breaking him psychologically first.
I'm really not a psychopath, but I could make an exception for this guy.
The goal is control, not truth for a narcissist. You can’t break him. He’ll just continue to lie or throw into a rage. You can show him a video of him throwing a baby off a boat and he’ll gaslight you but you’ll never break him.
Everyone can be broken. He's not that special. Definitely not as special as he wishes everyone to think he is.
Then just waterboard him
Exactly.
George on 'Seinfeld' once advised Jerry that it isn't a lie if you believe it's true.
There's a Kurt Vonnegut story.
A woman loves to help her friends decorate their homes. She has a book of plans for her own house. One day her husband gets an inheritance and decides to make her plans reality. He whisks her away for a vacation while her freinds/family redo the house. They rid of all the old, ugly furniture and replace it with exactly what she has in her dream book. When she steps in the place everyone expects her to be surprised, but she doesn't notice. In her mind the house always looked the way she dreamed.
I think Trump is that level of delusional. No matter what you said to him, it would just prove he was right.
He can only be reigned in by powerful forces exerting serious leverage over him, and only if it's powerful enough to override his will. He could potentially lose Congress and not be able to rig enough elections to stop it, but I doubt it'll do much to hold him back. He'll probably go hard with accusations of voter fraud and use it as an excuse to meddle himself or make Congress an irrelevant political body.
Going to take the world a long time to forgive Americans for voting in this maniac. Hopefully, they have learned a lesson...but I doubt it🙄
Three times. They voted for this maniac three times. Only once they failed to get him into office, and when they did have the opportunity to do anything they utterly failed to act.
Both sides have a vast amount of work to do before they even get back to neutral.
Oh look, that's written by someone who wants to blame the voters, as if it's actually a stable democracy over there... In contrast, I believe that the majority of people around the world see corruption in their own government and understand that the Americans are victims of the same.
They don't have us for our freedom. They understand we're getting fucked, too. They sympathize... And strangely enough, there are many anti-Trump folk who nevertheless drink the American Exceptionalism Koolaid, and they cannot understand this key point.
One, you have to have once been on earth to get back to earth. Two, I guarantee he lacks the necessary self-reflection.
He self reflects in the mirror every day.
He's not going to be brought back down to earth until he is under the earth.
I think the only time reality will actually hit him (while he's still living) is when the muzzle is pushed right against his skull
He’ll be brought down to earth when his masters tell him to do so
The same way as happened with Khameni ??😆😆😆😆😆
While he is going to face a waterloo at the ballot box, he is not back down to earth. He mentally is still in cloud cuckoo land, and making stupid military decisions he is not qualified to make.
No, he's just going to try to sabotage the voting in some way. Lots of institutions are already filled with henchmen and loyalists. The people don't rise up too much and ICE can suppress the ones that do protest. And it's just the dictator thing to do.
Not really. He’s milking the petrodollar pump and dump every damn Friday. But that’s drying up so he’s pivoting to Cuba.
yet another obvious bait article
Bet
