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 was literally a surprise invasion that half the EU didn't even believe was gonna happen and Russia denied was happening. How the fuck are you supposed to negotiate a peace to avoid a surprise invasion that Russia vehemently denied was gonna happen?
What the actual fuck is this bullshit?
Is it illegal to say 'the president of the united states of america deserves to die'?
RIP Trevor Moore
"9/11 would not have happened if America kept out of the Middle East" ahh energy
"if you didn't want to get raped, then why did you dress so provocatively?"
This is only kind of hyperbole, since Trump was actually convicted of raping a woman...
the same script russia uses, trump gets his orders from putin. its also " you're making me rape you"
If Ukraine didn’t want to be invaded, it shouldn’t have dressed that way! Stupid sexy Ukraine.
Right? It’s such a ridiculous statement. You’d think the president were a serial rapist, or something.
Wait... he is, isn't he?
I'm pretty sure you're joking but, just in case, here's a list last updated in 2019 from PBS. As they say, where there's smoke, there's fire; if there's this many sexual assaults that have been publicly reported, then there will always be more who won't come forward.
At a minimum he's a Quagmire level sex pest (sex/dopamine addict), but let's be honest, dude is a serial rapist. I'd argue this is where he falls since it's obvious he cares only for himself to the point that he raped his own wife (Ivana Trump) and treats women like toys to be used.
yOu CoUlD hAvE mAdE a DeAl
god damn this guy is a smoothbrain.
And america voted for him to run their country.
You spelled ruin wrong.
They had no choice! The Dems should have put up a better candidate! Genocide! Gaza! Liberals! Woke! DEI! Anything but make me address the consequences of my action and/or inaction!
I didn't vote for that garbage
More likely Elon hacked the election. Before election day Trump said multiple tines, “Stay home. We don’t need votes, we have all the votes we need…”
Watch the clip of Muskrat and his evil munchkin spilling the beans.
He's not smart enough to hack anything with a computer, certainly hacked it with money though.
Trump having a .ml Lemmy account was not on my bingo card
He got his tech guys to federate Truth Social with Lemmy
Putin’s puppet since Helsinki Summit.
Pretty sure he was already a puppet, that was just the rimming of the ring.
EDIT: Speaking of which, does anyone know if Marina Gross is still actually alive? I get not wanting media attention etc, but she seems like a ghost for someone that translates for world leaders.
Leave it to the convicted rapist to blame the victim.
"Grab'em by the resources. When you're a superpower, they let you do it."
He's a rapist... of women, children, and now countries (allegedly, since he hasn't been convicted of all three)
I though Russia was claiming they were attacking Nazis in Ukraine and that's why they went to war or something... I forget
He is perfectly and unquestioningly following his owners commands, like any good dog. He just amplifies Putins position on this rape of another country 100%.
It was all their fault.they existed. They were breathing and worst of all they didn't want their land stolen. How dare they?
"Look what you made me do it to you..."
One of you should learn to shoot straight.
Gosh, wherever could Trump be getting his Ukraine strategy from?
You know something's up when he makes reality-denying statements.
Because he can, it works and noone will take him accountable.
If you didn’t want to get robbed, why did you wear that expensive watch?
He's sucking up to his benefactor and handler Putin.
Thought exercise: Which assassination would have more efficacy in the long term, trump, Vance or Musk?
