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.

conservative podcast dipshits (conpodshits for short) have been bringing up 1984 for years and are short circuiting as their guy does the thing because they think george orwell was talking about communists
I said this elsewhere Orwell applies just as well to any type of ideology because they all ask you to accept the agenda and to walk in lockstep with everyone else in the “movement”. So when right wing podcasters use it they are as correct as when left wingers do. Failure to see this means being completely consumed by ideology.
george orwell if he met a modern republican "forget what I said, 1984 is now exclusively about these freaks" and then he does a kickflip on his skateboad
Wow, this sure is some in-depth reporting...
Although Trump appears in at least one video alongside Epstein at a party, the president has denied allegations that his name was in the files or that he had any direct connection to the disgraced financier.
"At least" one video, numerous photos, Trump describing Epstein as a 'Terrific guy who he had known for 15 years' and “He’s a lot of fun to be with, It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” Epstein saying he was “Donald’s closest friend for ten years”....
But sure, let's just characterize it as 'They both attended the same party once.'
Sorry, it’s the best article I could find on this topic on the internet. If you can find a better one - feel free to share though
It wasn't a dig at you, it was at the people who wrote the article.
Even if MAGA forgets, perhaps we shouldn't.
Well pack it in boys. The convicted criminal thats most likely implicated in a high profile child sex trafficking ring says "stop worrying about this list, there is no list and im certainly not on it"
I for one think we should believe this lying, cheating, gas lighting criminal. Biggest "trust me bro" in history
Can’t wait for Nuremberg trials #2
Guess why?
LOL that'll work. Streisand effect, motherfucker.
Sadly, it probably will. Give it a week.
Funny thing is that, apart from recognising the name, most people forgot what the streisand situation was about.
I remember. It was funny then too.
They don't believe in the Streisand Effect, on accounta sheeza dirty liberal commie.
also the fact that trump strung them along since 2019.
This Epstein client list?
I don't get it, if this is the list, what are people complaining about?
It’s some sort of an older client list but it is Epstein’s. Lots of ppl on it incl. Trump. 🤷🤷♀️🤷♂️
PEDOnald will jingle his keys in a week and all the MAGAts will have forgotten about this.
Has anyone from Biden's admin come out and refuted Trump's DoJ's statements? They need to be on every conservative outlet that will give them a second of time talking how the documents existed before.
It's funny watching rapey getting ratioed on his own echo chamber platform.
"These are not the files you are looking for..."
The Donvict is about to pop ninja smoke. Probably this time it will be a civil war.
How can he say nobody cares about the Epstein thing when literally everyone is clamouring for it? Gaslighting fail
world@world - still all US defaultism.
On the upside, it's like going to the circus every time when you open Lemmy and this circus doesn't have firebreathers, trapeze artists or lion tamers, it has clowns, only clowns.
"Clowns! Clowns as far as the eye can see!"
