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.

I'm so glad I listened to all the posters who said voting for the Democrats was voting for GENOCIDE. Boy we sure dodged a bullet there didn't we!
I never thought I'd see the day when even childish Saturday morning cartoon villainy became this real.
This is his dementia talking, or more specifically, his frontotemporal dementia, a major symptom of which is that his brain no longer has efffective impulse control He lacks inhibition, much like you see in drunk people, and he's just acting on whatever idiotic thought pops into his head or gets mentioned to him
Rapist gonna rape
Spoken like a true rapist.
"The honor of taking Cuba" sounds like an old man talking about a young girl he's about to rape.
Well he does have experience
Grabbing countries by the pussy.
Epstein files
“I do believe I’ll be the honor of – have the honor of taking Cuba. That would be good. That’s a big honor,” said the president.
“Taking Cuba. In some form, yeah,” the president confirmed. “Taking Cuba.”
“I mean, whether I free it, or take it... I think I can do anything I want with it, to tell you the truth,” Trump said.
Wasn't he trying to make people forget about the Epstein files? Because jfc that isn't how you do it
Trump doesnt know truth even when it slaps his ignorant head
The USA is a terrorist country.
filled with a terrorist population
yeah, sure, a third of them aren't terrorists
but the other third? either openly approve or don't care enough to even vote against it lol. the bare minimum
The US has had centuries of the conservative white majority consistently trying to suppress the vote of minorities and the youth. Hundreds of thousands of voters were purged from the voter rolls shortly before the 2024 elections, with a majority of those purged being minorities. Sauce: https://sdvoice.info/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won-here-are-the-numbers/
Many conservative states put fewer polling locations in poor communities. They block measures to make voting easier like same day registration and vote by mail.
Stop demonizing people that have been systematically disempowered. The Republicans in the Senate are about to shut down all other business in an attempt to strip married women of the right to vote.
This dude has to get got.
When I was a kid I always dreamed of visiting the USA.
Now, I will only visit it once. To piss on Trump's grave when he dies.
It's funny because I've had the exact same thoughts!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
you probably won't be able to afford the ticket..... if there is one thing i know about america's capitalist pigs, is that you will 100% be charged money at the gate to go and piss on his grave, and it will cost more than fifa tickets.
although, ironically.... i only ever had to pay to use the pissers in europe lol, this will be america's first pay toilet lol! ...and that is still a better legacy than her deserves
I think there will be a large tourist line for that. Even Americans will want to partake. Haha
Put it behind a 10 dollar ticket and some good could be done with the billions of dollars.
Naval blockades are an act of war in international law (as much as that matters anymore). Cuba seems to be the first target of Trump expansionism in the Americas. It has the potential to be the annexation of Czechoslovakia of our time.
Trump seems to be speed-running the "overextend yourself militarily" part of the late stage in the collapse of empires.
The investment in Agent Krasnov is paying dividends
That a sleazy criminal crook like Trump got elected and that he gets away with doing what he does is 100% the fault of the American system, the American elites and the American people.
No amount of foreign interference would be able to even wobble this building if it wasn't already rotten from the inside down to its foundations.
Trump is a symptom, not a cause, and if it wasn't him, it would sooner or later be somebody else like him.
So please stop parroting the Neoliberal version of the "blame the foreigners" self-excusing nationalist propaganda that deflects from the 100% local people who are most to blame for what's happenning, the deserved punishment for their actions at the hands of the common citizens - this shit would never have happenned without decades of pillaging by insiders, subversion of the guardians of Democracy like Courts and the Press, widespread ridiculous amounts of Nationalism switching of people's critical thinking about their country and the purposeful stupidification of the populace.
Next to the sleazy greedy assholes and a culture normalizing and even applauding sleaze and greed in America, the impact of even the most influencial of foreign states - Israel - is tiny.
Delusional freak.
Maybe if they get spread thin enough, Greenland can launch a counter attack with their polar bears and moose. Come on Latin America, stir them up a bit more just by being there minding your own business speaking "foreign" and looking tanned. That'll do it.
Funniest thing ever, inuits covertly invading USA.
With mouse
Meese
Meese. The plural for moose is (unfortunately not) meese.
It's crazy how often he accidentally admits he's a sexual-assault enthusiast, like here.
In the fifth year of WW3, the US is going to be saying the same damn thing. Gotta finished up your Iran before you get any Cuba, little Donny.
Venezuela is getting cold
You can't have your Canada until you finish your other wars of aggression, young man!
