World News
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.
-
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.

You are behind the times. The Dems are making lots of plans to investigate MAGAs when they take over the House and Senate. Jeffries has already set up several committees, assuming he remains Speaker (I hope he gets replaced). The House Dems just released their report on Trump's involvement in the Epstein Files, signaling that it will be a primary investigation.
After Jan 6, I argued with MANY who said there would be no justice for the Insurrectionists, and yet, step by step, they eventually imprisoned well over 1000 Traitors. Trump later pardoned them, but the fact remains that those who assumed the Dems would do nothing were entirely wrong.
And they're wrong about this as well. I just watched an interview with a Dem member of Congress who said that we absolutely cannot go back to the old ways of doing things, if we expect to regain the trust of the rest of the world. He said we have to make major systemic changes, and rebuilding after MAGA gives us the perfect opportunity to remake the government properly.
Your wish that MAGA gets away with their crimes will not come true.
Where do we start with remaking the government properly? Remove the electoral college? End the two party system? Rewrite the Constitution? None of this is going to happen, and although I hope I'm wrong, I believe after one cycle of having Democrats in power the people will say they didn't do shit and go right back to the Republicans.
It's almost as if two parties is a bad idea
"wish" lol, my only wish is democrats actually grow a spine one single time in the last 50 years
Original comment was specifically about Trump anyway, he will never face consequences because dems are afraid of him and his followers. Otherwise he'd already be in prison for the insurrection. Or at the very least not allowed to run again because him being on the ballot directly violated the 14th amendment. Trump will pardon himself and issue a blanket pardon for all his henchmen and the dems will say "aw shucks well what are you gonna do?" or issue a strongly worded letter
You are not a student of history I see. The rest of us understand the person you are replying to doesn't "want" the Democrats to punk out. "Investigate"? Do you know how many Democrat investigations we've lived through? Fuck-tons! An absurd amount of wasted air. And they never produce anything. They are the perfect distraction. "Investigations" are the balancing flap of the other wing of the one party. Oh boy, I'm sure Don Trump Jr is just terrified of the grilling Elizabeth Warren is going to give him /s
