A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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 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 personally find making cocaine to be a more useful talent than fucking kids and protecting child sex traffickers.
I would very much like it if they would make cocaine and ship it here.
Fuck me, he wants the whole damned continent
He's going for the objective: North America, south America and a third continent of choice. I know, it's kind of cheating as it's one of the easier ones, but they forgot to remove the card when the game started.
Don Jr needs to be ambassador to Columbia.
Conservatives.
Good at threatening others.
Bad at governing.
They want to control, not govern. At this rate they'll be there soon enough.
AKA: bribe me to not do anything because the military won't question my illegal orders...
Maduro and Trump are friends
Maduro gets to escape his country and save face instead of being assassinated or executed.
Trump gets to manufacture a conflict so he can start martial law and become a dictator, and to distract from us learning he came inside little girls.
You're pasting your little lies with this copypasta under every post. Stop trying to manufacture hatred against Maduro and minimize what happened by linking him with Trump
You're deepthroating manufactured consent for a war
Get a grip loser
I'm a literal communist advocating for the stop of militarization of the US. Your stupid made-up copy paste is useless
Time to 25th Amendment this fucking lunatic.
His whole cabinet are with him
All of maga/gop are with him
They control both congressional houses + the Supreme Court
Half the dems are ok with half of what he does
None of which alters the fact that he's patently insane.
Though it does certainly call their mental health into question too.
This shit isn't his original idea. Without the Project 2025 gang whispering in his ear, none of this would have occurred to him.
I will compliment the article’s author for using direct quotes from Trump.
Too often, the press tend to clean up his grammar so it makes sense and doesn’t seem so offensive to the literate.
Direct quotes like “watch his ass” and “got bum-rushed right so fast that he didn't get into that” help convey not only Trump’s sentiment, but how god-awful ignorant the fuckwit is.
I live in Europe, so I often read coverage in my own language, which means Trump’s quotes are translated. Translators could easily smooth out the grammar and make him sound coherent, but they don’t. They clearly put effort into preserving not just the meaning, but also the tone and sheer incoherence. You end up with these translations that capture the rambling, the aggression, and the stupidity, just in another language.
I appreciate that your news sources don't try to sugar coat his incoherent rambling.
I wish domestic American news sources would be so honest.
I remember that being a big debate among Japanese news outlets in 2016, whether or not to directly translate, or translate the meaning, comprehensively. Unfortunately many outlets fell on the "comprehensive" side of the argument
You should see how awful the translations into Spanish are. They make him sound coherent and intelligent when he is literally rambling about nothing.
There's guiding foreign politics with an invisible hand behind closed doors and there is this... openly threatening and attacking anything that moves.
The US will have a fantastic time occupying numerous hostile countries at once, dealing with nonstop 24/7 guerilla attacks. US empire collapse speedrun.
America in all its movies: We saved the world and showed everyone that we are true heroes of freedom and democracy. USA USA USA!
America in the real world: Starts a war over oil they have no right to, kidnaps country leaders and threatens other countries in order to get what they want, and will coup enemies and allies alike just to benefit themselves.
This is just the status quo for you lunatics.
I literally said this as soon as I heard about Venezuela. He's gonna go after Columbia, and then he's going for the Panama Canal. If anyone is surprised by this, they haven't been paying attention.
Sure, but where are the unredacted Epstein files?
The US were imperialistic before the Epstein files, in case you didn't notice
Good on you, don't let bombing and invasion of sovereign countries distract you
Making cocaine? Watch out?
Why? Is Trump wanting to buy a bunch of cocaine from him to throw a coke and pedophilia party at Mara-lago or something?
~~Realpolitik~~
Surrealpolitik
Trump knows cocaine. he did so much it rotted his asshole.
he became fecally incontinent, hence the diapers. his sone, DON jr is close behind.
This is what Donny wants, to cause chaos in central and South America. In time most if not all countries south of our border will unite against him and that will be all he needs to declare war. He will then try to suspend the midterms and the 2028 election in an attempt to stay in power.
Worlds largest ~~military~~ terrorist organization.
