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.

MFer is out of missiles and cant make his darling billionaires pay taxes to buy more. What is the US gonna do, throw rocks at Iran?
Nobody but Trump wants this stupid war. Dude needs impeached.
More taxes on the poor probably. Tariffs on all the things +20%!
Conservatives will never impeach the most accurate representative of conservatism they've ever had.
If conservatives wanted to stop him, they already would have. They hold both chambers of congress. They will never do that because he is doing exactly what they want. Trump is conservatism incarnate. A perfect reflection of all conservatives. He is them.
Conservatism brings only sickness, oppression and death. This has always been true throughout all human history.
getting trashed by cheap drones from iran, which were reverse engineered.
He's going to nuke them.
Which would tank the stock market so I’m gunna play the crash stock market game
What's bad for people, is usually good for the markets.
Why would it tank the stock market? The stock market is perfectly happy to ignore the long term implications of climate change. Why wouldn't it ignore the sudden increase in the risk of nuclear proliferation and war?
Because nuking Iran will turn a 90% blockade on oil tankers into a 100% blockade on anything that looks like a ship.
The blockade will be the least of anyones worries if the nuclear taboo is broken
You really haven't thought this through, have you?
He probably hasn't, but one of his advisors or admirals should tell him. If that fails, there's always the Kennedy solution.
There always has been.
Welll climate change is a theory even though science says it’s a thing once stock market, if he actually nukes some one it’s reality
It sounds like you don't know what the word "theory" means. Can you define it for us so we can laugh at you?
Try retyping this less drunk.
Fair enough, leaving it as is
That would be an entirely unprecedented response and would pretty much end any validity the international skid mark still has.
Yeah, and...?
So a normal Tuesday for Trump.
I think he's talking about nuking them. The fact he says decision coming up, makes me think they've been delaying and putting off the conversation because even the dipshits controlling this situation know that's going to start ww3 and it won't go well for them, financially at least.
No one? I think there's a lot of other people in the Epstein files who are profiting off this entire debacle that are happier than pigs in shit about it. I assume anyways
Dude needs a rest.
