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.

Bored of Peace.
Pretty sure that's their slogan.
"The board of peace: bored of peace"

He's an elderly man that isn't up for the job. He should step down.
Why do we let people over retirement age be president?
Likely because people over the age of retirement do most of the voting.
But past that, its because our machinery of politics is too sclerotic to implement any kind of reforms that might inconvenience anyone in charge. Literally who would author the legislation? Who would vote for it? Who would sign it?
FFS, we've had both parties talking about Term Limits for 80 years running, with not terribly much to show for it. Only 17 states establish term limits for their state legislatures.
While the idea has some broad popular appeal, it rarely impacts anyone's partisan voting pattern. If anything, the age of a candidate tends to improve their odds of winning election. Voters reflexively don't trust people younger than them as representatives.. So campaigning as a young person promising to exclude older candidates can be a tough sell.
Careful--they'll just raise the retirement age.
Because people should know better than to vote for them but they don't.
In the third video he's definitely asleep. You can see him wake with a start when he hears the applause.
Go towards the light
He'll be bored. Then he's dismantle it and keep the $1B ransom he got from each dictator to be a member, and claim it achieved all if its goals.
Or make Vance do the meetings
I thought it was $5b - has he already pocketed the extra $4b each?
This is the least of the reasons why he should be removed from his position by the people who can do it. But it's a reason. They won't because they're benefiting (or hoping to benefit) from the shitshow.
Sleepy Don
Hard at work being anti-woke.
He's always asleep now. No idea if this is news from last week or if he was asleep again.
Sleep and don’t wake up. Just once.
