A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

I wish they'd stop running headlines whenever Trump says a deal is "about to happen."
Make the headline when the deal happens. Everything else, EVERYTHING else, is market manipulation.
Yeah but they manipulate the market through headlines :(
Yeah, you might have misread my post lol. I'm saying that they should only post the headline when the thing happens, not whenever Trump says a thing.
But then how would they manipulate the market?
I have a suspicion that may sound shocking, but I have my doubts about this trump guy and his trustworthy-ness.
You blew my mind. How did I not spot this sooner?!
Trump is a lying piece of shit. Treat everything he says like it's opposite day. "Almost have a deal" - it's nowhere close. "I'm not even in the Epstein files, we weren't close" - I was one of his best friends and I'm in the files more than anyone else. "I am peace" - I'll start as many wars as I can to get the heat off of me. "The election was stolen from me" - I did my best to steal the election.
He's incredibly simple, unintelligent, and it's trivial to telegraph his moves.
His Board of Peace was actually Bored of Peace
Yes, but good luck convincing the red-baseball-cap-wearing masses that they made a mistake by voting for him.
Pride, hate and sunk-cost fallacy are a hell of a thing.
They're completely a lost cause, and literally not worth an ounce of effort. Convincing less than 10% of the people that didn't even vote would have caused an easy loss for him in 2024.
We had 89 million people not even vote. Craziness.
The cycle continues
Trump is being punked by a teenager in Indonesia with the email address of presidentofiran@hotmail.com. I'm sure Trump will transfer 1,000 BTC to that email address just before the "signing" of the deal.
Did the markets close for the weekend? Guess what, there's a deal and it's incredible! Did the markets open for the week? Oh no, there's no deal, we're gonna obliterate them! Ad nauseaum
I bet they'd agree if the US handed over trump and his sons, deal of the century, many people are saying it
Look, you guys, he's the only one who can fix it. The only one - he's just so, this a really great war. For a really great country - I love this country. We have so many beautiful people. Did you see that actress in that classic film? What a beautiful, and that's why we have to win this war!
Please, I beg you, tell me this one is actually fake. It's a complete 50/50 in my mind.
So far, Iran has been right about everything.
Let me see. Who should I believe? The man who lies with every breath, or absolutely anyone that makes a contradictory claim...?
Just more grift and market manipulation.
It's deja vu all over again.
Trump... Who started all this. You know what - he should distract by reinstituting global tarrifs, because that was smart \s
Donald trump playing fast and loose with the truth?!? Well I never!
Just like there was no agreement the last dozen times he said they'd reached an agreement. I'm beginning the man may not be entirely on the level.

Hey it's infrastructure week again!
This is gonna be the biggest snipsnap so far.
