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. 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.

It seems selling Tariffs to his constituency as something that only affects other countries was his biggest grift after all.
Ah, who am I kidding. It's all grift. A gigantic hairball of grift.
I wish I knew enough about Canadian politics to have a deeper opinion, but afaics: Good
Oh and as a Eu citizen I feel very good about Canada maybe hopefully joining some sort of alliance with us. I didn't have it on my radar before 2025.
Good shit. Go Canada!
This is what the Orange Turd deserves. Act like a shit get treated like shit.
Tit4Tat will result in the USA always getting hurt worse than everyone else
Good luck -- E. Jean Carroll just kept getting excuses to re-sue him, which was hilarious, since he just could. not. resist. defaming her when legally ordered not to. :). The man seems absolutely compelled to double-down on his disrespect if he is pressured to act like a decent person. He just can't resist trying to "assert dominance" or something.
Carney should formally demand Krasnov "say Thank You" for our water, oil, wood, steel, potash and aluminum, before we drop tariffs. Heh.
EDIT: Vance, too. He should have to say Thank You, on the air, on Fox 'News', before we drop tariffs.
That’s the point. This will hopefully eventually pressure Congress to do their job.
