    My prediction is this guy has active involvement in human trafficking and that this position enables that work.

    every news from the US in 2025 sounds like an episode of House of Cards. We’re not even done with the year yet man

    • Epstein file doesnt have anything

    • missing minutes from CCTV because the camera “reset” everytime.

    • a new NASA director who never had any space experiences. Dont worry though, the guy starred in an MTV series.

    • ICE. I guess no need to explain further: unjust, racist, shit tons of money.

    • denaturalization is a thing now , apparently.

    and a lot more. The fucked up part is we are not even done with trump, he still has 3.5 years left !

      Not if we convert all 20 seats held by Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections. Then the orange man has to go away.

      Diplomatic immunity. They can’t arrest him, the most they can do is kick him out of the country.

      I was going to make a joke about how that face doesnt look straight, but no, that man is unironically and heterosexually wearing an ascot without the slightest bit of flair, style, or panache. Like good gods man its an ascot, you gotta treat it like it’s a purple suit, you either wear the hell out of it or you put it back until you can

        *Looking in the mirror after getting abandoned by another blind date who called him “shallow, bland, and aggravating” just before disappearing.*
        “I have a good personality. An ascot is personality, right?”

A community for discussing events around the World

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. 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.
