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.

The morons voting for him TWO TIMES are infinitely more moronic than him.
He'd probably still win that election...
What about the morons who ran a candidate with very public dementia?
America did it with Reagan's last term.
It's not a good comparison, though, as Reagan could still publicly present as a cognitively-functioning person.
Biden couldn't. The June debate wasn't the first time we'd seen his brain melt in public. It was just the worst.
It is a good comparison ... you just don't like it because it doesn't agree with your confirmation bias.
Yet Reagan's "Alzheimer's Controversy" recently resumed, CBS News noted yesterday, after Ron Reagan suggested, in a just-released book, that the former president "may have shown signs of Alzheimer's disease as early as three years into his first term."
In My Father at 100, Ron Reagan writes of a "growing sense of alarm over his father's mental condition." He recalls the presidential debate with Walter Mondale, October 1984, in which his father seemed lost and unable to articulate himself. In "Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer's while president, says son," a short piece on the fracas by the British Guardian, Ron Reagan is quoted as saying: "My heart sank as he floundered his way through his responses, fumbling with his notes, uncharacteristically lost for words. He looked tired and bewildered."
... Lesley Stahl, in another new book on Reagan, describes a visit with her family to the White House in 1986, ending her time as a White House correspondent. She writes,
- "Reagan didn't seem to know who I was. He gave me a distant look with those milky eyes and shook my hand weakly. Oh, my, he's gonzo, I thought. I have to go out on the lawn tonight and tell my countrymen that the president of the United States is a doddering space cadet."
Yeah. That's how sycophantic the Republicans are.
I wouldn't call him the dumbest, but is certainly one of the most evil and manipulative.
It is almost like the Orange Turd does not know what he is doing.
Or perhaps he does and simply isn't being transparent with his true objectives for America. He did say everything was going to plan, after all ...
His handler's goal is to dismantle the US. He doesn't know what he's doing, he just knows he gets to sniff the mushroom every time he follows orders
Putin could not possibly have any dirt on Trump that is worse than the publicly available knowledge we have of his personality and activities. If he's working with Russia it's because he wants to, not because he's being coerced.
If Trump is a Russian asset as we all believe then Putin will have irrefutable proof that would be able to put Trump in prison.
He’s also likely to have evidence of other crimes that everyone is pretty sure that he has done and is doing.
A lot of the publicly available stuff has a lack of evidence, a lack of motivation to get the evidence or a lack of will to impeach and prosecute a sitting president. It’s possible that Putin could release enough information to overcome those barriers.
Putin will have dirt that trump thinks is important, like that he has a comb over or some other trivial crap.
That the whole world knows he's a weird, small handed, incontinent, idiot doesn't register with his own opinion of himself.
Nah pretty sure that's him just not having the ability to even acknowledge its going to shit. Never admit defeat type of mentality.
por que no los dos?
He knows exactly what he’s doing. Running a protection racket.
It's always unclear whether he's deliberately destroying the West in the service of Russia, or whether he's just unwittingly destroying the West in the service of Russia. That's his great mystique.
Although by leaving Russia and only Russia out of these tariffs he may have just made himself a little less intriguing.
The biggest take away I see from this is how easy it was to remove $2.5 trillion dollars .... yet the world didn't end.

Imagine they go into building trains and tracks!
I mean, the stock market is still up 5% or so from a year ago. Which doesn't refute your point that it's disconnected from reality, but rather that the wealthy people are not exactly suffering due to a single day or even a few weeks of market losses.
It's a repost of a meme, but damn, there's so many great opportunities for this one:
So much winning!
No one wins a trade war. We all get to lose because of one loser (well, plus 70 million other losers).
You should also hold the non voters accountable.
As far as I'm concerned if you didn't vote against him then you're also to blame.
I wouldn't say all of them are in turmoil, the US markets have been hit about twice as hard. And most of my European stocks actually went up today.
Lol
I'm only invested in broad market from all over the world, everything is down on average.
As long as American products are not competitive in international markets, be it because of price, quality, or marketability, there will always be a trade deficit.
Just take cars. The US produces cars basically for the American market only. No other country produces or uses cars like that. But they all produce cars they like, that other countries like, and even Americans like.
American car companies cannot expect to sell goods to other countries that simply have no markets in those countries.
Looks like the American stock market was hit the hardest..
Lmao
