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.

Is it sad that really doesn't narrow down where you live that trump would put you in danger?
I mean, it could be Ukraine. It could be Mexico. I don't even know what his thoughts on Isreal/Gaza are, but I assume his opinions on that are shit as well.
Hell, you might even live in Greenland. He tried to buy Greenland again, and rename it to trumpland.
His ego knows no bounds, and his empathy is nonexistant.
The sad part is that I bet he couldn't point to most of those countries on a map
"Why is America so small on this map? Why are we not the only country? People tell me, no it's it's true, they do, they say America is the only country on the map. Everybody knows it. Our maps are yuge. We have the best maps. You know in the 1980s, I was going to buy a map making factory. All the jobs would stay in America, instead of going to ChGina. We would print all the maps if I did that. Everybody would want a trump map. That's what they'd call it, because everybody loves me. And then I would buy Greenland, and keep the Mexicans out of the borders. We would have built a wall on the borders of Greenland and Mexico. The Mexicans would be so happy that we're providing them shade. They'd even pay for our beautiful wall. Better than the great wall of ChGina!"
I feel like my only two mistakes in this impersonation are:
It's too coherent.
It stayed on topic.
Ideally he would never fully finish a sentence, yet still somehow come off as racist. All the while drifting from topic to topic, while also saying nothing at all.
