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.

Geez, at least they had a sense of style and pose back then. The ding dongs we have now look like they just got out of class and are heading to the cafeteria to make fun of the foreign exchange students.
Yeah those Hugo Boss outfits were damn sexy.
They're the spoiled grand children of the adult Nazis
its been incredibly easy as a canadian to not buy american goods, which in all honesty, are of far lower quality than canadian goods. or goods from most other countries.
I wish I lived in Canada and didn't have all this us mid
Having lived in both (currently in CA), can very much confirm. Canadian goods tend to be better overall. Corn syrup is pretty rare in food to start, and somehow produce is fresher???
Tomorrow: Dumbass announces 25% tariff on EU and Mexico.
Day after that: Dementia patient announces 35% tariff on EU and Mexico.
Day after that: Pedophile says tariff talks are two weeks away from deal with EU and Mexico.
Day after that: Rapist announces 30% tariff on EU and Mexico.
Like a child throwing a tantrum. No plan, no subtlety, just pissing and shitting themselves and throwing that piss-laden shit at the wall in the hopes that they can get the toy you told them they can't have.
Honestly at this point it's like he is just sun downing and reliving his "deals," from the eighties over and over again
TACO
Ayyy, remember how Canada capitulated on the digital service tax.

Then trump threatens new tarrifs?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg819n954mo
(I'm struggling to find new sources,. cause everything is about dropping the DST to allow further trade talks. Not the timeline of DST dropping and the further US tariffs. Maybe these are coincidental, maybe there was always gonna be more Canadian tariffs. Either way, it doesn't matter. Canada got more blanket tariffs regardless of what they did. Speaks volumes to everyone else dealing with trump)
Trump is destabilising international trade. This doesn't benefit the US. At all.
No worries TACO Don will do what he always does...
Pathetic fucking loser that he is
I don't get this. Why are so many countries willing to play Trump's game? It seems a horrible long-term strategy to allow one country to hold global trade hostage this way. Shouldn't we negotiate between ourselves, i.e., between the affected countries?
The idea should be: for us, exports of X, Y, and Z are taking a hit, and for you A, B, and C. So, let's lower our tariffs in these respective areas to soften the blow to the affected industries. That way, we would partly make up for, say, lost exports to the US for cars, at the cost of additional competition on the domestic market for, say, soy beans; and vise-versa; evening out the effects as best we can.
With such agreements in place, we can return to Trump from a stronger position and say: we are willing to negotiate, but not under threat. We will do nothing until US tariffs are back to the levels before this started. But, at that point, we will be happy to discuss the issues you appear to see with trade inbalances and tariffs, so that we can find a mutual beneficial agreement going forward.
Something like this would send a message that would do far more good towards trade stability for the future.
Time for another TACO
Petulant imbecile
The "hey look over there until the pedophile accusations die down" tariffs. That kooky trump with his tariffs and kid fucking
Are we allowed to call for violence against kid fuckers? Or is that uncivil still?
I would opt for jail but that's pretty much a death sentence(if that's the way things are still). Personally, I think fascist plus kid fucker should equal a long torture period before the death.
Clutches pearls, punish the rich for crimes?!
;)
Yes please
I'm pretty sure there's already a gambling website around where you can bet how long these announcements last. Could't find one on o quick google search, but I'm quite sure there is one.
Just wait for the TACO moment.
I'm guessing... Tuesday?
Your guess at which time Trump is doing the next dice roll is as good as anybodies.
God. At least we purchased stuff on time. Economic, see you on the way down to hell.
