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.
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.

The lines between Hitler and Trump are becoming less and less blurred
It is almost like he told everyone that he was going to be a dictator on day one.
Technically he claimed that it would be ONLY on day one, but nobody ever actually believed that.
“Day one” was Groundhog Day.
It's not like he's invading countries and throwing minorities into camps....
I think you mean more blurred, not less.
A less blurred line would be more distinct, providing a stronger, more obvious separation between the two.
A more blurred line is fuzzier, making it more difficult to tell where one ends and the other starts.
If he's the president of Venezuela then let's open up the border to them. Let them come in they're American now.
This is actually a good argument .
The president of the USA can not be head of state of a different country. So they are either Americans or Donald trump accidentally abdicated the presidency.
We better do NOTHING AT ALL about This! Not even a SLIGHTLY Stern Letter!
-World Leaders Apparently! And Democrats!
It is often said that to truly be president of a place you must walk among the people unguarded to show that you’re in charge and not a big wuss
But he doesn’t even do that in America!
Dang that must suck to be a fake president of 2 places
Oh man, I sure do hope some random fucking country doesn't kidnap the new President of Venezuela.
Text of the Foreign Emoluments Clause, U.S. Const. art. I, § 9, cl. 8.
“No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
You say that as if Donald Trump gives any fucks what the Constitution says...
When this era of terror is over, I hope we have Nuremberg style trials for all these wastes of humans. From the white house to the lawmakers who sat idly by and let this country falter, to the ice agents "just following orders". And I hope we dismantle everything trump. No courts. No mercy. Globally. Cancel every contract they have given themselves and their friends. Corrupt judges out. End this Christian fascism. Every Trump aligned son of a bitch and bitch delta with
You are dreaming. USA did this TWICE. There is no turning back from this. The People of the USA seems to forget a lot in 4 years. So who will the next trump be, once the egg prices goes up again? USA will never be trusted again. They are in catagory with Russia and china.
He’s spiraling into a singularity of narcissistic terror over [Jeffrey] Epstein, and decompensating with performative dictatoring
Couldn't have said it better.
I'm not convinced he cares that much about Epstein. As far as not liking anything that makes him look bad, sure. But he's sending out armed thugs to murder Americans and getting away with it. Why should he care about being outed as a pedophile?
Should go for a victory parade so his new subjects can show how happy they are under his rule. Lincoln Continental convertibles get great ratings, I hear.
America was always a nazi shithole, we just didn't care because they made our elite rich and it was only brown people who were getting fucked over it.
Welcome to reality my frieds, a portion of us have been here for a long time. Kissinger should have been the only canary needed to see it, yet, here we are...
Man. All them politicians in DC must be writing some mildly worded letters. Cause they sure as fuck aren’t doing anything else.
I declare him a traitorous orange turd.
MAGA: Trump kindapping Maduro was justified because he was acting like a dictator and was a net negative to the people of Venezuela!
MAGA after another world leader Kindaps Trump for doing the same thing: 😮
It makes me feel really sad to see the USA go from 80s / 90s Era golden times into false wars, the murder of millions and now we just putting the building blocks in place to have a new form of the Nazi party.
The problem is that everyone is so Tribal now and fixed into their positions I can only see it escalating. I'm worried for my children.
That supposed golden age was a time of massive deregulation, which is still wreaking havoc on the country.
In the 80s and 90s, America was massively involved in destabilising Central America and the Middle East.
Iran-Contra / Nicaragua, Panama, first Gulf war, Afghanistan...
Trump needs to go to prison now.
He needed to go to prison on January 7th, 2021 with his trial starting the next day, and immediately barred from running for office under the 14th amendment of the US constitution regardless of the outcome of his trial or any pardons.
