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.

This is exactly what MAGA voted for. When Trump started talking about tariffs liberals started talking about how the last string of tariffs started a trade war that turned a depression into "The Great Depression".
When Trump started saying the word tariff, Republicans googled "what is tarrif" (spelled wrong)
Trump picked a fight with the biggest kid in the school right after insulting and backstabbing all his friends. Now he's crawling back begging his friends to come and help him.
If Trump wants the US's ex-allies to help, he better step down from the presidency. It is the only way I see anyone willing to help the US right now.
No one will stick their neck out for the US. Trump must step down and return sanity to America. This doesn't fix relations, but it may signal the begining of a return to a healing position. Over a very long time, 50 years, the US may gradually recover some of that lost trust.
Hard to earn. Easy to lose. Even harder to win back. America, you played yourself.
Trump stepping down won't do shit. This is a MAGA issue, and is exactly what they voted for.
Let it burn.
Right. The entire GOP needs to be in prison.
Except it's Trump. He will never step down. He can't admit he's wrong on anything otherwise it'll break his macho man persona of never being wrong and it's not his fault.
The least admirable quality someone can have "I'm never wrong"
He steps down, then it's Vance. If Vance steps down it's Johnson. It doesn't really get better from there.
You can’t be serious. Trump stepping down?? Wants to help the US??
I see your point but those allies your are talking about just want piece and trade and are willing to get it at any cost. Most of the EU is already on their knees and begging Mr orange to drop the tarifs and they will do what ever he wants. The tarif intimidations didn't work on china but it sure worked on most including the EU
I too oppose deals being made at my expense...
This seems like a goes-without-saying level of obvious position to take, no?
I mean yes but also...
China "will take countermeasures in a resolute and reciprocal manner" if any country sought such deals...
It's one thing to just say you don't like something. It's another to say you're going to take a specific action as a direct result of them.
