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.

If the appearance of commanders correlated with military strength, the US would be finished. 😆
That man looks like he's staring into the abyss.
He stared into the abyss.
The abyss retreated.
The Abyss is staring into him.
Aren't we all.
All I can imagine is a shirtless Pete Hegasth doing karate moves in a mirror.
And doing his own sound effects.
The opening scene in Apocalypse Now?
Die Hard 2.
Similar vibes, except Sheen is notably rubbish and inebriated.
You mean Pete Keg-sith?
I get what you're saying, but the more direct comparison would be to the Chief of Staff of the Army, not the President.
I gotta say, I spent a solid minute on Google Images trying to find a picture that made him look more badass than the professional headshot photo, but a good half of the images are him in readers.
I’m rightfully scared of that chin. Like I want to make fun of it, but I know full well he could kill me with it.
John Wick 5 - fuck that guy, I heard he killed a man with his chin! HIS CHIN!
30 minutes later: John wick kills someone with his chin.
Also, wow we're getting a John Wick 5!!!
If you think he looks bad ass. Try taking a look at Thomas Rathsack. He is my fucking hero, and a danish special forces veteran.
You wrote 'Rathsack'.
I read it as 'Wrath-Sack'.
We call him Ratsack just for fun. Be the man is a true legend.
Looks like he's gotta go rescue a rural backwater's police department from John Rambo.
If only Brian Dennehy would listen to him, so many deputies' lives could be saved.
Buzz Lightyear
They need to get rid of that multicam. No need to keep wearing that nasty looking American shit.
He looks like an action figure.
