Ah yes the Great Democracy that has banned peaceful protest if it "causes a disturbance". The one that bans entry to any person with a political opinion the government does not like. The one that [checks news] revoked the licence of a doctor for two years in response to her participation in a peaceful protest...
Americans are so lucky not to have any murders or incompetent police officers. They should tell Brits how they did it.
Well all you had to do was not create it in the first place, ya snaggle-toothed Limey.
JD doesn't let a good chance of promoting the great replacement theory go to waste.
I'm so fucking sick of Nazis. Fuck jd vance
The US interfering with another government? Never. Sidebar I thought it was essentially a given that everyone has their fingers in someone else's pie. Like Museveni (Uganda) influences Ruto (Kenya) and Kagame (Rwanda) every election and vice versa. Saudis influence Tanzania via Zanzibar and China is heavily influencing all of east Africa's politics right now. The US is influencing everyone and you have China and Russia messing with the US and the US messing with them. If you look around nearly everyone is at least messing with their neighbors government and the bigger players have global influences going on. It's one big competition for power and control between mainly sociopaths all the while the masses across the world mostly want the same thing, a good quality of life for themselves and their loved ones.
It's usually more subtle
One thing missing in the trump administrations is any level of discretion or tact, and most definitely guile which is simultaneously refreshing and infuriating. While most will tell you they're friends and fuck you when you're not looking the trump administration will straight fuck you to your face in a public room, it's horrific and honest.
True.
That's really the only material difference between Donald and the presidents who came before him: a lack of shame and subtlety. The way he operates is not fundamentally different in any meaningful way apart from presentation and the sheer will to get his own way.
Yes the only difference. Literally no difference in him and anyone else. Goddamn what kind of head injury does it take to say that?
A head injury sustained from reading history. American presidency didn'i start with Reagan.
I have full confidence that trump has broken more laws and norms than any given 5 presidents. Already. And it shocks me how people seem to willfully ignore this in favor of US bad.
Besides asking african country to be neutrsl about Taiwsn. What tother influence china has. France is still the biggest influencial country is african political affair and followed by russia
I'm speaking of east Africa specifically, which is concerning Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and the eastern region of Congo. You are very specifically speaking of north western Africa.
China has its belt and road initiative, controls about 60% of the mines in Congo, is trying to take Mombasa or dar es salaam port, is building a port in kiliwa Tanzania, has a substantial amount of political and financial influence in eastern Africa. In short they have multiple companies leveraged in extracting natural resources in exchange for some small roads or bridges they have built. Also don't mind the Chinese influencers capitalizing on racism of Africans. It gets so so so much more violent and dark than this. Human organs, infants being raped, any degree of human torment and degradation you can imagine but we would need to go deeper into the web to even see the shadows of those demons.
Most people in the rural areas around here don't have access to the internet therefore no one cares what is happening or what will happen to them.
Starmer is not literally complaining. This is just his part to influence the masses.
Mass migration isn't the problem, the problem is lack of oversight into what kind of people are coming into civilised countries, anyone that can so simply stab someone, lie to let them die shouldn't have ever been allowed to come into the UK or any other country that has proper human rights against murder and rape, but these people aren't educated and are incapable of integrating, so they shouldn't be allowed entry.
Proper oversight is needed so people that are actually interested in a better life can be given that chance and those that seek chaos should stay home.
So you agree that we should be processing the asylum requests and then coming to a decision as soon as possible rather than simply leaving everybody in a state of limbo in some random hotel?
As always, your racist take shows that you don't actually know anything about the subject matter.
Hon, your dear Prince Andrew is in Epstein file.
Thanks gods Starmer is on the case /s
As much as I agree that he's a useless waste of oxygen this isn't actually his fault is it? The policing policy that the conservatives are complaining about was implemented by, drum roll please, the conservatives.
They are once again whining about their own decisions. There's a reason that Badenoch didn't bring this up in PMQ's.
Yes, but I think radical reforms have been needed since he took office haven’t happened. They’ve gone backwards in some cases.
He has also broken ten of his election promises, IIRC. So I’m basically saying that when a laggard like himself complains, it has less credibility.
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.
