Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

He‘s convinced he‘s the dictator of the world, isn‘t he?

[–] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 111 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The world hasn't really shown him the opposite, sadly.

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 29 points 4 months ago (2 children)

One person at least put a bug in his ear

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That poozer should have told him straight to his face

The US is the dictator of the world, and has been for some time.

"You can't just say the airspace above Venezuela is closed"

"I didn't say it, I declared it"

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 57 points 4 months ago

ahh. so invasion it is.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 51 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Trump, in a Truth Social post said: “To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY.”

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 73 points 4 months ago (2 children)

He said "consider". How thoughtful of him to start a WAR on social media AND without congressional approval.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's exactly how you'd expect him to do so.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It's getting hard to predict the stupidity lately.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Always go low. No matter how bad it is, there is always stupider.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 months ago

Yea, genius has a limit but stupidity is unlimited.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

We're leading a ground invasion of the north pole!

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

I thought penguins were the problem. They're at the SOUTH pole.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 11 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Unfortunately the US has allowed president's to effectively start wars since the 1973 War Powers Resolution Act. It allows any US president to engage in a conflict for up to 60 days without congressional approval.

60 days is a long fucking time, once the military is involved congress knows it can't just pull out of a country. So we always stay

[–] cymbal_king@lemmy.world 37 points 4 months ago

Nothing like a good ole fashion invasion of an oil producing country to lift holiday spirits /s

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 36 points 4 months ago (2 children)

they’re trying to build a prison

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 21 points 4 months ago (3 children)

FOR YOU AND ME TO LIVE IN!

Fuuuuuuckkkk I miss SOAD, I miss those bands that really had a message back then, the songs that would rile you up, make you think, make you realize... RATM!

What would be a modern version of this?

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Protest music is still ongoing, if not stronger than ever. Hell, even Morello is politically active, look at his merch line

Grandson - Brainrot

Grandson - Self Immolation (honestly this whole album is bomb)

Green Day - F Off (2025)

Pussy Riot - Putin's Ashes (2023)

Garbage - No Horses (2017)

DJ Shadow + RTJ - Nobody Speak (2016) (bit older but just as relevant)

Pussy Riot - Make America Great Again (2016)

Art is and will forever be a form of protest

Man, if only the music itself could appeal to me. Their lyrics are ok.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I get that. It's not on the same level as RATM, the lyrics hit, but it's more of just talking shit than a full message. RATM brought you into a world. RTJ just kinda takes pot shots. It simply doesn't have quite the impact.

[–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

instead of a war on poverty

we've got a war on drugs

so the police can bother me

[–] TheJesusaurus@sh.itjust.works 34 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Does he think that's up to him?

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 36 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Who is gonna stop him?

Congress and SCOTUS will pat his head and tell him he is a good boy.

No other country or combination of countries can stop the US military if it backs him. Honestly I don't see anything stopping him except the US military at this point and that would be extremely improbable.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 months ago

We have time on our side. I fully expect him to die before the term is up to some health complication. He's rather old

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Airlines should just ignore Trump. The only way he can enforce this is by shooting down civilian airliners.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

The entire airspace in the Caribbean in front of and above Caracas has been saturated with ratio interference radiation for days now. The few planes still flying are having trouble with comms, GPS and radio referenced navigation. There are other ways to enforce this crap without shooting rockets. It's a shit show.

[–] TheJesusaurus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Exactly. Even trump isn't stupid enough to start downing national carriers full of civilians

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

Narrator: He was.

[–] dustyData@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Daddy vova did it.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago

You don't have jurisdiction over what another country does, Pedo. How are people not complaining more about what this rapist is doing here??? Attacking another country--- this is Russian shit. He thinks because his master can try to shit on its neighbors that he can too!

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 15 points 4 months ago

By surrounding, does he mean the entire planet?

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

So that's why he pusses Ukraine to give up land..

[–] A_A@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

The usual "Trump says" garbage.

[–] jaxxed@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Incoming class action lawsuit by airlines?
