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.

Jfc dude I'm dead 🤣
These people are incompetent on a scale barely understandable.
And it's so frustrating that they are not in jail.
I assume for that to happen, a significant portion of the American political system would be in trouble. It's not so much that Trump is some unique phenomenon, it's more like he's not subtle about it. We're being screwed every day by the leader class, they're just quiet enough about it that most people go back to their NASCAR and high-fructose corn syrup snacks.
I think Trump's actions are not particularly unique, but he's doing actions that have been previously condemned and in the minority. I'm not so naive as to think that all corruption can be eliminated, but when it's out in the open and the people are getting away with it in the open, that's much worse than what had happened before. Trump is a unique phenomenon in that sense and the sheer number of illegal things he's doing.
We were heading towards something like Trump eventually if you track what monied interests, through the GOP, have been doing since at least when Nixon resigned. I'm sure the GOP were hoping to pick their guy instead of Trump, with Russia's help, taking advantage of what they were setting up.
I get that there have also been corrupt Dems, and there so are, like Nancy Pelosi, but they're not the primary avenue of the oligarchs to enact their agenda. Though they have captured the Dem leadership as well.
But I would welcome a more robust system to root out corruption. And for laws to be applied equally. If that takes out a significant portion of the government, then I think that's fine, as long as it's not some bullshit like what's currently going on.
If the GOP had an iota, a molecule, a QUARK of integrity, the cabinet would be impeached en masse. They are a disaster.
It's almost incomprehensible. This is historical, it will be in history books in a hundred years.
I'm shocked....but I'm also not shocked. This has gotten to the point that you think they can't one up themselves and then they go and do it.
And they do so on a weekly basis if not daily
Full texts got released! See update on the Atlantic!
I'm sure that everyone, including trump will feel the full force of the law. The FBI will immediately investigate make arrest and punish everyone involved in this blatant act of anti-patriotism and treason.
Right?
Who thinks Putin doesn't intercept these chats?
I do. Signal encryption is watertight.
Doesn't matter if you're using a compromised device. Given the number of people in the group chat, that at least some of them were using personal devices, and all of them are high value targets... I wouldn't be so confident that this chat wasn't intercepted.
Unless you're the Trump admin. Then you just unlock the door and invite them in.
Or, y'know, a random journalist you fatfingered. I wouldn't really use the word "interception" for either, though.
Who thinks he needs to intercept them?
He was probably told before any of these guys.
That's treason.
Nah, treason is now anything that acts against Trump, the sovereign.
Oh they know. We know.
They know we know.
They know that we know that they know that we know!
Everybody knows.
Hang them all
The French Revolution can't come back soon enough
Might want to read up on what happened after all that... Because... yeah.
Or even during. People think about Louis XVI getting chopped, but never the people who did the chopping getting chopped x4. And then, yes, Louis XVIII.
The real fruits of the revolution were from the seeds it planted blooming decades later in the Victorian era. Living through it just sounds like it sucked. They were a generation of martyrs for a liberal democratic future they barely got to see the beginnings of.
Well said
