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.
-
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.

Trumps goons are pro Russia? That surprises no one.
I bet Putin has video of Trump banging a guy ... thus explaining his pro Russia stance.
I have family that went from spreading pro-Russia propaganda from rightwing outlets after Putin started paying them all (Lew Rockwell, Tucker Carlson, Gateway Pundit, etc...) to now just disseminating crap straight from Russian Times.
American conservatism has an ideological bromance with Russia.
Seems more likely they're business partners in a criminal empire that includes child sex-trafficking, likely using DONT's "modeling" agencies to move or entrap victims
They haven’t read foundations of geopolitics
This is such a bizarre take, given that we have mountains of compromat released through the Epstein files, plus all his sex scandals dating back to the 1970s. None of them indicate that
a) He's sexually attracted to men
or
b) Revealing any amount of his habitual pedophilia of women affects how he governs
Trump isn't hard to control. Anyone and everyone with two shillings to rub together has been able to bribe him. But liberals need to believe he's a closeted homosexual for some reason.
Did you miss the weird "blowing Bubba" comments in the files?
Because I didnt.
The subtlety of context in this case was missed by anyone who believed that comment was literal.
The comment was in email by Epstein's brother, who hated tRump.
He was aware that Clinton and Epstein were acquaintances (plausible) or it was a reference to the name of Gislain's horse (more likely).
He likely knew, or it had been alluded to, of Epstein (or someone) having damning evidence of tRump improprieties of sexually explicit, and potentially embarrassing, blackmail material.
Reading that email, with the context, made it sound much less like a literal, factual statement and more an insulting joke about the proclivities of a serial liar and suspected/known sexual deviant. Learning of the horse's name, as well, afforded further credence to it being an insult about tRump and the horse, than about tRump and Bill Clinton.
I think Bubba was a horse though so not the same as a man
Bubba was Bill Clinton's nickname, and also the name of Ghislaine Maxwell's horse. You pick which would be easier to co troll him with.
"habitual pedophilia of women" isn't a thing that exists. Children aren't women.
Check this guy out. He draws the line with Trump being gay. I mean he could be a rapist, a pedophile, and guilty of countless crimes of moral turpitude but he better not be GAY
I am pretty sure his first wife admitted he was GAY. He even had a boyfriend when he was in boarding school, so GAY. Not that there is anything wrong with being GAY and the fact that Trump loves men.
I really do wonder where people get this stuff, or why they need to put "GAY" in all caps
I don't understand why people can't accept Trump is GAY.
I guess we're are in the same boat together wondering about how GAY Trump is. Speaking of that, what happens on the boat stays on the boat. Maybe we can work out your GAY issues with Trump together?
Cause there's no evidence
Rump is right there in his name. Nothing GAYer than Rumps.
Checkmate.
Average American logic process
It's horrifying to say, but while Trump boasts he could shoot someone on the street and still be popular, it only takes one passing transwoman to pull that rug out from under him. You think he's chromosome-testing every trafficked woman on his private jets?
I don't think it matters in any meaningful way. You're pointing to court gossip like it affects national policy.
Well I'm not, I'm not the person you were responding to.
But your absolute confidence that it hasn't happened is somewhat undermined as I'd bet that being provided witg dozens if not hundreds of random, suffering women and raping them without a second thought increases the chances of having had sex with a transwoman, not decreases it.
