World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

I am starting to consider seriously that he might be mentally challenged or showing signs of neuronal decline due to age and other conditions.
It's got to be one of:
Whatever the situation, it's increasingly dangerous to have him as president, and the damage he's dealing is going to outlast his presidency.
It’s actually all three. He was never smart, he was recruited by Russia, and what brain he had has fallen to shit.
My friend, in these trying times, why not try the sampler platter? Indulge in all three!
Are we sure he’s not just gaming the stock market at the behest of the other rich parasites around him?
Seems like a bit of everything
Plenty of STDs that add to such decline as well. I love that the christian right’s ideal president is also the most likely to be harboring the largest collection of sexually transmitted diseases of any former president (where he had competition, his competitors were likely much smarter in choice of partners, protection, and obviously discretion).
Roosevelt was fucking two of his cousins.
Why just two?
Two at the same time, married to one, cheating on her with a different cousin.
That said, its still significantly better than lusting after his own daughter. And then getting mad at Canada because his daughter has eyes for Justin Trudeau.
Interesting. I did not know that, thanks.
lol, yes, still better than trump. but, if someone is going to be a cousin fucker, they should at least be a faithful cousin fucker.
How can you tell if it's age related neuronal decline or just him being the dumbest goddam student his professor at Wharton ever had?
I'm guessing substance abuse and very little sleep has rotted his brain. Same goes to Musk.
Both have the same type of behavioral traits as long time stimulant abusers.
I think it is a mix of narcissism and related impulsivity, grifters in his circle influencing him so they and he himself can speculate on a recession and market manipulation from his policies, ideologically indoctrinated people that drank their own cool-aid about libertarianism and finally, indeed, him also declining after he was never all that bright to begin with.
