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.

He literally called for Israel to attack Iran first so that it would be easier for the US to support them. That was yesterday, I believe? Dude's been calling an attack on Iran for days now
That's his only good characteristic: how dumb and transparent he is.
yeah, gotta hand it to him
and yet I'm always a strange mix between dumbstruck, surprised and unsurprised
it's the Mr. Magoo of politics. It's bewildering to witness.
And yet, some people still think he's playing 4D chess
Dunno, look at the Trump-Epstein-gate cover-up.
Yeah, imagine if they were smart how much more they could have hidden.
The ones making the most money are smart enough that you don’t know about them.
Gotta claim a state of emergency somehow. How else is he gonna stop the election?
Honestly, this feels like a good thing for democracy (or at least the illusion of a democracy we have in the US), in a roundabout way.
If the US military is stuck in an Iranian quagmire, it becomes harder to use it to terrorize citizens on the domestic front. I wish they'd send the donut eaters from ICE to the front.
Not really, when we are at war the rah rah crowd that believes these pieces of shit gives them more leeway, and is less likely to buck on something like pretti's execution.
This is fair, and I apologize.
My country has been at war everywhere for so long that I'm desensitized to it. What I wrote above was meant as an objective hypothetical, but was wildly insensitive.
I do not support war. I am just powerless to stop it, so it's easier for me to speak insensitively about it, and I shouldn't.
If I had any power whatsoever to stop this, I would.
i do not think this will stop them from attacking the statesian citizenry, i think it merely opens a new front in the war on civilians
