So, hey, Americans, your president is openly threatening genocide. You might uh, want to do something about that. Just a thought.

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 don't think any of y'all know how well protected this asshole is
Seriously, there seems to be this delusion that we all just have magic buttons that execute our politicians on a whim. What the fuck do you expect us to do, specifically, to fix this?
oh, anything short of killing ourselves at the government will not be enough for the freaks on this website.
especially since the whoopsie that one time
Insurrection?
They just filed articles of impeachment - so that's something...
https://www.congress.gov/119/bills/hres1155/BILLS-119hres1155ih.pdf
Its been proven that the impeachment doesn't do shit. Infact the last time we impeached our president he was allowed to run and be elected again.
And it'll go just like last time, every Republican closes ranks and it wastes everyone's time
Unanimously supported or is it again an isolated democrat move? Asking because it’s kindof annoying to let USA delete a whole civilization…
but they didn't vote for the genocidal kamala.
how could this have happened???
Iran has been calling his bluff at every point. Not surprising.
Hilarious to see. Would be great if it didn't ruin everything while being hilarious though.
Republicans had a choice. They chose to make things worse. They can't complain about laughing out of frustration or dark humor. Not after decades of sabotaging America so they could finally control USA.
Republicans had a whole bunch of choices. They still have a lot of choices. They keep choosing to do the stupid and/or evil choice. I'll be laughing at them and what happens to Americans for years or decades.
I'm more concerned about the rest of the world having to deal with the consequences of moronic republican decisions.
I’m more concerned about the rest of the world having to deal with the consequences of moronic republican decisions.
This is the worst part of it. I didn't vote for that moronic child fucker. I can't even vote in that shithole because I don't live there. Yet, I'm getting fucked, and roughly, because of them.
But hey, 'don't go "all americans" because some of them didn't vote for him'. Well fuck you! You didn't vote for him, but what about us? Getting screwed by someone who's not even in our continent just because he fucked kids and don't want to go to jail for it?
Yeah I'm getting a bit tired of the "I didn't vote for him" thing from Americans. I understand that they didn't but from the outside, I can't really start singling out people, so as a result I blame America as a whole. They should have fixed their system decades ago, but they didn't care enough.
I sympathize for all the anti-trump Americans... but they are doing as much as the Republicans are doing, to remove him. Which is fuck all. Going on a parade on a Saturday once in two months doesn't count as doing something, no matter how "historically large" it was.
I wasn’t even old enough to vote against him the first time he ran. I did my best to convince all my historically conservative Republican family to not vote for him, however the propaganda they consume is too strong to get to them. My mother has been watching Fox News chronically since 1997 when it first aired. By 2016, she’d been consuming that propaganda straight for damn near 20 years!!!
Yeah that sucks and all but its still up to you and your fellow citizens to fix this shit, since your political class wont do anything, except encourage the orange cunt.
The tipping point hasn't arrived yet.
If you mean the "people are actually starving" tipping point, sure, that hasn't arrived yet.
But the 21st century tipping point flew past ages ago.
The problem is the vast majority of Americans can’t monetarily afford to protest because of the style of capitalism here. It forces us to work or be homeless/healthcareless. Only thing that will force change is either a fair election (ain’t going to happen), some sort of coup, or country-wide strike (would be one I would like to participate in).
But I was told Americans are so much richer than us Europoors!
Jokes aside... Theres options. You guys could like organize and stuff. Pool some money to have a security net in case someone gets fired. Work together with employers. Do some logistics and realize not everyone needs to be out protesting every day. One group protests on monday, another group on a tuesday, etc.
Saying "we can't afford to protest" is just giving up. Nobody said it will be easy. And nobody is suggesting that the people who have 7 children to feed or a crippling medical problems, should be the ones protesting....
Oh but don't you know Kamala Harris wasn't a good enough candidate so some Americans couldn't bring themselves to vote for her.
Fuck those guys even more than MAGA.
Absolutely. Anyone who was eligible to vote in the US that didn’t vote for Kamala Harris come the general election is part of the reason we have Trump. These are objective facts at this point.
“But Gaza!”, “both sides”, “NeoLiberals”, etc. are all flimsy excuses.
You want progressives to have a chance of winning? Make the Republican Party lose so badly that they aren’t contenders ever again. Now you can start to differentiate within the Democrat party to get some true progressives.
Nah, it's worse. Every voter that didn't vote in those elections just said: "I'm ok with both candidates". They have decided that choosing Harris or PedoHitler was the same thing. Is not that she wasn't "good enough", it's that they said she was AS GOOD AS PEDOHITLER.
Some of them are still at it. A mere mention of choosing between lesser evil and they come in calling us 'genocide supporters'.

They can't complain
Unfortunately, they can and will.
They need to clutch pearls at every chance they get to show how 'evil' the left is so they can villainize them easier.
Huh. Weird. Turns out when you show a demented willingness to cause mass genocide, people might get the impression that negotiations aren't really an option anymore.
The US had a perfectly good nuclear deal with Iran, but Trump chose to rip it up nine years ago because it had Obama's name on it.
Should come to no surprise that Iran don't want to end this crisis diplomatically with the same guy who stabbed them in the back just to spite the Democrats...
Trump sparked anger and concern around the globe on Tuesday morning with his post, which read, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”
I've not read the full wording of his Truth Social post until now, but why does it read like he's trying to cut a wrestling promo?
I mean his description of the US airman rescue operation in yesterday's press conference where he called the Iranian army a "hostile, very talented, very good, very evil military" was giving me Danhausen vibes...
If he plays his cards right, he might end up winning the WWE Peace Prize.
Did you misspel WW3? 🤭
Tbh, it sounds too coherent to be him.
The US had a perfectly good deal. Israel didn't. If the deal had stayed in place, the Iranian econony would have roughly doubled by now. That's a lot more resources that could stay in Israel's way of expanding into Lebanon for example.
The deal benefited Israel as well... what are you talking about!?
What the deal did not include was: praise for the orange pedophile and/or distraction for his crimes or Bibi's
Did an edit to add that before I saw your reply. Don't buy what Israel tells you about how they love the Iranian people. Consider Israel's material interests.
E: Also it's fairly public fact that Israel lobbied against the deal and following it lobbied for repeal.

It isn't really "talks" when the alternative is to be destroyed as a civilization. That's bullying and extortion
Who would've thought the art of the deal is just black mailing?
The Art of the Deal: Letting your fragile self be easily manipulated into getting nothing that you wanted.
Good. Call his bluff. Show the world what a fucking idiot asshole he is.
I am reasonably sure the world is well aware. But I’m happy to have extra receipts for it.
That sounds good, until he actually strikes
I would wish he would just die already but I honestly believe he is just a puppet with 80 different hands up his ass.
The Iran leadership has been acting like civilized humans while the American pedophile coalition has been trashing, yelling and sinking deeper in their war crimes and genocidal drivel like barbarians and animals. If Iran disappears we will always remember this.
This is 'Sum of all Fears' level of OH FUCK.
Yep it's not funny. Some commenters seem to find this funny. It's not. He's an incredibly dangerous man and easily capable of killing millions with zero remorse.
The "art" of this deal is called DEATH.
