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. 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.

It would also throw the US economy into turmoil. But we all know that Trump does not care about this as long as people spend money on his golf courses and hotels.
He claims to be tough on China, but he consistently acts in their interest
Helping China is why he sanctioned Canada last term
"We're gonna have the best nuclear arms race of all time! You've never seen such a nuclear arms race. It'll be the last nuclear arms race you'll ever need."
Make America the 50's again
...the 1850s
Basically their whole pitch the entire time. Take away women’s independence and put uppity minorities in their place. Might as well add an arms race
Except without the living wages, public works infrastructure investments, emphasis on education, and tax rates!
Plus high taxes on the upper class before Reagan. Literally everything that actually made that a good time (for some, anyway).
It's shocking that people seem to be so dumb to think they just need to be allowed to be racist again to get the good stuff back. We're kind of a stupid species.
Don't forget stronger unions!
Cool, my kids can learn to duck and cover on the days they're not doing ALICE drills.
Ok but what is Putin's opinion?
"yes, but what about the golf course they are gonna let me open hmmm? You even consider that Mike?"
Trump to Mike Pence: "go away or I'll have you killed for real this time."
Calling it now, someone falls out of a window in the next 4 years as both a nod to trumps boss and as a warning to americans everywhere.
Falls out of a window nothing, we are rapidly approaching public executions livestreamed on Twitter territory.
Done the American way: in a football stadium.
Who's ready for Monday Night Rehabilitation!
With Carrie Underwood singing the theme song.
And Kid Rock as the back up dancer
The American football stadium?
Trump: sounds like plan, Mike.
Thanks for the speedrun tips
Yes but what would that mean for the economy and our rich friends? /s
