we don't need to report on every stupid thing trump says.
World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Trump is that old lady in a backed up check out line arguing with the cashier over her expired coupon. And paying with a check.
And waving around a nuclear arsenal and the most powerful military in the history of the world.
Congress specifically exempted him and only him from direct access to the various superweapons (nuclear, chemical, and viral) that the US has in stockpile, during his last term. That still applies. He has to get permission from Congress and/or the Joint Chiefs to use them
Do you have a source or something for further reading?
Or their loose change that was accumulating
The canal is on a crash course with climate change. They're going to need absolutely massive investment to operate once the lake dries up, and they're not pulling in massive profits to pay for that. If Trump wants lower fees, he best be ready to pay for them. The reality though is that he's probably just betting on failure.
You may think me mad but it is like this Trump fella doesn't have the best interests at heart for the ole U.S. of A.
So I guess the drought finally eased, and the reservoir that supplies the fresh water for the locks is doing better, but yeah, even with a new dam that should finally get started soon, the canal probably has 50 years or less as a viable commercial route, though honestly 150+ years isn't a bad run as an economic project, and one of Jimmy Carter's most humane legacies was overseeing its transfer back to the people who were dominated into letting Americans build it in the first place.
It's like when a friend gifts you a lottery ticket and you win the lottery so now the friend wants it.
Trump "demands" lots of things. Almost all of them are directly against the interests of the party he's demanding them from.
He's a bully who thinks he deserves to get his way all the time in all things. And he's a crybaby when he doesn't get what he wants.
And he's enough of an idiot to come up with a lot of ridiculous things to try and demand.
Old man shouts at clouds. German media organization reports on it and further sane washes idiot's moronic ramblings.

Its funny because I was against giving it up since we built it but I sure as heck am against taking it back. That is not how stability works. It would be equivalent to crimea and far to close to the fucked up thing we have with israel in the world.
