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.

I understand the point of the story.
I just think it should be at best a US local news thing, not a world or my tiny countrys TV station network main news cast story lol. Like, everyone knows trump fucked up with the whole Iran thing, no need to tell me about a minor inconvenience the orange lard ass had to suffer because of his own stupid actions.
This is about the President of the US using journalists and staffers as bait for terrorists. That's fucking news. He could have made the move to cancel his flight or fly an empty plane with military pilots as the only humans on board, but he chose to put normal people at serious risk of a terror attack while he chicken-shitted off on in a food truck.
It's world news that the leader of a powerful country chose to put civilians at risk and encourage terrorism instead of trying to avoid a known risk.
At this point it would be news if the the US did NOT harm or put civillians in harms way lol.
The world wants to see this man put in harms way.
The world would like to see him erased from existence.
The world wants to mock this man.
I understand your point and meaning, but at this point, trump's downfall is world news, and everyone is interested, because the world hates this man more than anything since Hitler rose to power.
I don’t want him erased.
I want him to live a long life behind bars, with all his remaining mental faculties focused on the world celebrating as they attempt to undo this immense pile of bullshit he and his enablers are leaving us.
I want the world to remember his name in the same way as the US remembers Benedict Arnold, applying to his name the unmistakably worst traits a human being can possess.
And when he and we are long dead I hope his name continues to inspire revulsion and a warning to future generations to not get suckered into letting Nazis into the bar.
