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.

Technically agree that it's one of the nastiest. Definitely in the top 200!
This just in: Sauron says hobbits are nasty
"Sauron steals our bit complaining about nasty, nasty Hobbitses, Precious!"
This just in: The worse person you know thinks nation famous for being extremely friendly is "nasty"
Simple words from a simple man(child).
If Im not mistaken Trump says specifically, "if a country has tariffs on us we put tariffs on them, if they remove tariffs on us we remove tariffs on them".
If project 2025 is to be believed his goal is to get Canada to remove their tariffs, including protectionist policies for things like banks, dairy, and telecoms.
Through that guise is he a free trade purist, and our existing free trade system is an oxymoron?
I think this is how Trump phrases it. In reality almost all countries have tariffs of some kind to protect key industries. Trump's demands/bullying/tarrif-mania normally amounts to him wanting specific tarrifs removed to benefit the US.
Key industries like dairy, so Canadian citizens get the privilege of paying 24$ for a tiny block of quality cheese.
I doubt the poors health would suffer from eating cheese instead of highly processed junkfood, we may even be able to lower the obesity rate and our healthcare costs.
I'm not very knowledgable on Canadian politics, but agriculture is a sizable part of their GDP[1], seems like a fair enough view to value the jobs and industry it provides over having lower priced dairy?
More importantly, it seems like a choice that's down to the voters of Canada, and if the USA doesn't like it, they should negotiate to find something that worksfor both countries, rather than trying to use their economic heft into bullying the world.

Or the US can tariff us instead, destroying our economy to get us to stop with the hubris that we are a self made country and not fully reliant on the US for our standard of living.
If something is really cool, Trump hates it.
If something is garbage, Trump thinks it's wonderful.
If something mocks Trump, Trump's brittle ego can't handle it. He has no emotional capacity to handle criticism. He is stuck with the emotional maturity of a generic 5-year old; maybe 7-year old.
If we're so nasty, why does he want us so badly?
Well just look at E. Jean Carrol. "Nasty" to him often means that he wants to literally rape you.
The moment when Donald's heart was broken
That one? Or this one?
It's horrible that I can immediately recognise Scomo by his ever-balding head.
Ivanka is his one true love so he might have been irritated by Melania's thirsting but the betrayal of Ivanka really hurt.
shes stuck with Kushner though.
"Melania's looking at Trudeau like she wants him to turn that dress into a Canadian flag."
- stolen from the other site
Well stole my friend, that is a golden comment.
I kinda like being called nasty. The ‘nice guy’ vibe is getting tired.
Awe, you're even being nice to Trump, bless. Canadians are so wholesome.
I always go back to that picture of melania staring lustily at Trudeau. I think that was the trigger/catalyst for all of this. Trump is that petty.
He's single now, I hope she hits that just because it would make Trump sad
Coming from trump, it's a compliment. It's means they're nothing like him and nothing could be better
" We don’t need their cars. We don’t need their lumber … We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything.” Fascist colonialist int full display: we don't need anything you have (false, otherwise you would leave us the fuck alone) so you shouldn't exist.
I know what is even nastier the Orange Turds adult diaper.
I'll take that as a compliment
I don't know who is stupider...Trump or the voters who elected him?
I hope the US just rots and falls apart in 4 years.
Visit the red run welfare states, they fell apart long ago.
the voters, trump knows republicans are so easy to manipulate thats why he switched parties to republicans.
The voters for sure. I've engaged with so many obnoxious, irrational, hyper-aggressive people lately who are so high on their own farts and delusion that they're beyond getting through to. One guy even offered to "fly me out today" to fight him over the subject. Right-wing propoganda has them angry at their own shadow.
I know advocating for violence is frowned upon, but maybe fucking these people up is the only way to get through to them. Seems to be the only language they speak by the end of any argument.
Keep repeating to yourself: they have an "external locus of identity". This is why they are angry, because an attack on Trump is an attack at their personal identities.
Lmao. Should have asked him to send you the money to book. I'm sure he can afford it with all of the money he's saving because of tariffs and DOGE cuts.
No you don't.
If the government of the USA falls apart there is still a giant military infrastructure in place.
If you think that they'll just shut down all those aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines you are terribly mistaken.
People seem to keep missing that. The only country that has ever used nuclear weapons in war is falling apart. You aren't safe if you're in another country. You aren't safe if you're on this planet.
Exactly. Politics is messy and there aren't ever going to be perfect options.
Figuring out the least terrible choice is how we progress.
Why not in 6 months? The level of under-education of americans is a threat to the survival of the specie.
We are.
