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.

Do you want to play a game?
Just trying to imitate his boss.
Two questions: Are they networked? And does Air force one sometimes gets in range?
So it is a military target now.
Our enemies benefit more from the orange skidmark remaining alive, to the extent that he still is.
Yes, obviously, he's the leader of their party and President.
Jfc can you imagine any other shitbag president installing SAMs at his country club?
Air to surface missiles should have been installed long ago...nose down.
Future history textbooks will have lots to say about “Clusterfuck’s Last Stand”
I do wonder what the history books will say in a few hundred years after it all get muddled up through horrible book keeping and the power grid being blowup by the sun.
"The king in Orange 'Donald Jonald Trunp' made his last stand at his now atlantis style sunken kindom castle of Margarittaville, where he summond dragons of fire and brimstone called MAGA's."
I too have read E.L.V
polite applause
I had not heard of it but will check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

This kind of makes me wanna playing Starcraft now
Apparently, their taking Iranian threats seriously. And they should. I'd be nervous too if I was protected by a secret service that allowed an bumbling assassin to take 7 shots at at me.
That was Biden's USSS, after he purged it of MAGA. Imagine how bad they are now.
The ABC here in Australia did a great summary of how the Secret service is being stretched by budget and staff cuts at a time when Trump is a big target of Iran.
To be fair the Iraq military has a $10 million bounty on Trump. That can get a lot of people over there very motivated and they would been seen as heroes in their country if they succeed.
If they need help, I'm sure there are Americans that will help Th for free and no desire for the bounty.
Never correct your enemy when he makes a mistake.
Their country and ours.
Please. Those had to be staged, to support his arguments for his bunker ballroom.
Possible. To be fair, the bunker was necessary as the previous one was woefully inadequate. The ugly ballroom, that is all Trump ego.
So many want to kill him... GODSPEED! blow that disgusting creature into pieces of adipose and shit!
Sea-to-lake mansion. He said he didn't want any Spanish.
One can only hope that they target hot air.
Maybe the fat fuck should stay in the White House. He can take his chances anywhere else.
Nah, he does more damage at the White house.
Smells like fear
Surface-to-air missile systems have been deployed at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort as the Secret Service warns of a “heightened threat environment”.
Two Avenger air defence systemshave been placed on a floating barge near Mr Trump’s Florida residence, according to photos published by the Palm Beach Daily News.
have been placed on a floating barge
I guess there weren't any open patches of ground to put them on.
Probably so they have a clear view of the sky without shooting through a palm tree.
At least there aren,t any eyesores like windmills.
I used to live in the area (actually right across the water from Mar-A-Lago in the El Cid neighborhood) and there really isn’t. Not in any place that might actually be workable for defense.
I guess they know what they're doing. Every golf course I've ever been on has landscaping to set up secluded holes and to put tractor sheds and pump houses out of immediate sight. I guess that's what I expected
There isn’t a golf course at Mar-a-Lago. The course is a few miles south and in West Palm (hilariously in a fairly rough part of town). But there’s way more green there than I remembered. But I’m guessing they don’t want guests to look out a window and see a missile battery on the lawn lol.
Well I'm completely missing something then. If there's no golf then what's the place for?
Also, grass parking with a half empty parking lot?
I’m assuming that the the grass on the lake/intracoastal side (left hand in the photo) is parking for events and tennis. But the place is basically a dinner club. I’ve only ever been to the older clubs (used to date a girl whose family was generationally loaded and were members at the Beach, Sailfish, and Everglades clubs—none of which wouldn’t admit Trump as a member, which is why he turned Mar-a-Lago into a club in the first place). But they’re just overwrought places where the ultra rich socialize, eat, and have fancy parties.
Didn't want the golf course grass to be hurt.
Common misconception. There’s not actually a golf course at Mar a lago. It’s literally just a big gaudy mansion, some tennis courts, some landscaping. Also notable it’s only about a mile down the road from where Jeffrey Epstein used to live.
I always think of C&C Zero Hour Avengers units when I see these. Brings back loads of memories pwnin the noobs on Twilight Flame.
Microin' on 3 fronts.
Still at least they're not surface to surface (the kind he might aim a protestors).
I wonder with all the failed assassination attempts whether anyone will think to try firing one at Marine One (the presidential chopper).
