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.

"so are you really going to bring up the school again? I already told you, we thought it was a wedding ok??
Oh, we did bomb a wedding too? Haha, ain't that funny? Oh, come on!! You guys have no sense of humor!"
US delegation should keep walking into the Hudson.
I agree in principle, but the UN building is on the East River side of Manhattan
It doesn’t have to be the closest body of water, any will do. Maybe the Gulf of Mexico would be better.
Or they could try Lake Ontario.
Aktually its Lake America now (named such as it's the lake in which we drown Americans)
Imagine how toxic that would be.
Throw them off Denali.
Considering Don loves Andrew Jackson, it’d be poetic justice for his lackeys to be forced to march on their own trail of tears.
I agree, the extended walk of shame gives everyone in the country more opportunity to throw rotten produce and other biohazards at them before they are consigned to their ultimate fate in the depths.

Just put up a (walk in) woodchipper for them. Don't make this more complicated than necessary.
A walk in, for Americans? No, make it a drive-in.
He didn't rename it to Stream America yet?
Seeing mainstream news criticizing Iran for not "being sufficiently conciliatory" as if Trump's speech wasn't filled with threats of war crimes, so ridiculous yet expected.
imo, If you didn't start the conflict you aren't required to do or say anything. Fuck the aggressors and anyone that defends them. It's a pretty simple rule.
Seeing mainstream news criticizing Iran for not “being sufficiently conciliatory”
I have not seen that. What news sources are you seeing that have said that? You're quoting one of them, can you provide a source for that quote?
"Im not going to sit here and listen to these proven facts about my country's war crimes! I cant handle the truth!" US Delegate
It would have been just effective, and mature, if the US delegates had stuck their fingers in their ears and started shouting "LA LA LA LA, NOT LISTENING!"
No erasies! You can't double stamp a triple stamp!
If you don't like people saying you bombed a school, perhaps don't bomb a school.
Dude's just mad he's being reminded he bombed only one school so far. Probably a devout subscriber to that one dead dude's philosophy of a few school shootings is an (allegedly) low price to pay for the ability to own guns. Obviously he's hoping to up his school bombing numbers.

Dear Americans; yes, you're a comic book villain.
Americans love to tell one another that Muslims are barbaric child-raping uneducated rubes.
They really don't like being reminded that they killed dozens of little girls whose very existence defied their racist caricatures of the Iranian people.
American President is a barbaric child rapist. People elect a representation of who they are.
People elect a representation of who they are.
They don't, though. They elect representations of who the parties are. Sometimes. Other times, the representation fucks up in the middle of a debate and gets dragged off stage to be euthanized. Then his second-string understudy steps up and delivers some of the most lackluster campaigning since Mondale, effectively handing the election to a man who has spent the bulk of his political career underwater on favorables.
South Park chokes itself on its libertarian farts, but one thing they got right was the "Douche and Turd" metaphor. Genuine popular politicians - from Jesse Jackson to Bernie Sanders - never seem to make it to the final lap. Popular election winners never seem to have enough Electoral College votes to become President. Election counting systems never seem to function as advertised, forcing the SCOTUS to decide elections on the voters' behalf.
This shit is rigged seven ways from Sunday. The voters are at the bottom of the list of people deserving of blame for their reps. As often as not, the candidates they produce are a reaction to even more loathem options on the primary ballot.
Justify it any way you want. People still saw and experienced Trump. Had decades of first-hand evidence. His first campaign in 2016 he openly talked about sexually assaulting women and Americans were fucking hard for it.
Don't know if you're trying to fool me, others, or yourself, but it's pretty sad.
Americans had every chance to NOT VOTE for a fucking rapist, insurrectionist, pedophile, incompetent, dementia-ridden and self-shitting con-man, and over half of voters STILL voted for this fucking human equivalent of an traffic accident involving multiple lorries goring school busses full of children and women.
There is NOT ONE excuse for any of them. They are traitors to the USA, traitors to decency, traitors to anyone who thinks the enlightenment was a good idea.
They could have just stayed home instead. They didn't - they fully accepted this walking violation of human rights as their rightful president.
The USA deserve the fall of their empire, and Americans themselves deserve to be shunned internationally.
Americans had every chance to NOT VOTE
The conservatives scream at the liberals for ruining the country and forcing them to adopt Trump. The liberals scream at the indies for refusing to back their milquetoast pos candidate, because margins are thin and a handful of people can maybe sort-of flip a state. The indies scream at the non-voters for refusing to get off the bench and support someone outside the two-party system. The non-voters ignore it all, because there's no real political engagement, just an endless cycle of hype and recrimination and betrayal every two years.
But, like, ya'll got your eight years of Obama. And then you got your four years of Biden, even. Through all of that, Donald Trump was very nakedly and notoriously doing crimes. He was taking flights on the Lolita Express all the way back to the Clinton Era. Nobody investigated him. Nobody prosecuted him. Nobody refused his campaign donations.
And let's not forget, Trump was a creature of the Clinton Campaign. He was a close personal friend of the Clintons, especially after Hillary took the NY Senate Seat. And he was the stalking horse intended to humiliate and dethrone Jeb Bush. Worked brilliantly!
What choice did lay Americans have in any of this shit? What were the alternatives? President Ted Cruz? Soviet Premier Jill Stein?
They could have just stayed home instead.
Lots of them did. Lots of them still do. Non-voter is still the largest voting denomination.
The USA deserve the fall of their empire
Absolutely agree. But Trump's just the means toward that end. The US has deserved to fall for my entire life. And for a great many lifetimes before that.
As it stands, all we're really suffering is a marginal diminishment of Superpower status. We'll "fall" to the level of Japan or Germany or Brazil. Far less than we deserve.

Its cool when other people do it, not you
When I was a kid in the wake of 9/11, I wouldn't have been able to believe I'd someday feel morally inferior to the Iranian government...
Probably true, but Iran wasn't significantly involved in 9/11 so you probably wouldn't have been considering that.
Yeah, but, you know, all those desert-dwellers are the same.
A 12-year old American in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 doesn't make that distinction.
If you asked me at 12 how many middle eastern countries I could name I would've said: India, Pakistan and Abudabi
Which isn't a number, anyway.
War criminal. The correct term for that US delegate is war criminal.
Of course they did, they still think that not knowing is not happened. But it happened and people knows, US army is a child killer army.
So we’re allowed to just leave our jobs whenever we want to now. Cool.
Just like russians did during the Czech president's speech last year. This year they weren't in the room from the start, just to be safe.
Spineless. Just like their fat ugly golden god...
its true
