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.

Can someone Luigi this guy too?
Prime target to get luigied
The US is trying desperately hard to achieve scumbag singularity. PeRsEcUtEd white South Africans? Bring em on! Scumfuck manosphere influencers? Let's bring them home! Rich assholes no longer welcome in their home country? Yeah, will that be cash or check?
Though, the thought occurs that the scumbag concentration increases on a curve that's inverse of the square root of distance from the White House. Maybe all these assholes will just gel together in DC like some Sci Fi mutant scumbag blob and we can just, like, cast fire on it or cut the city adrift into the Atlantic to go become some old sailor's myth like the Flying Dutchman or Belgium.
Well fuck this all to hell. They both deserve to be underneath the jail and there is so much evidence to prove their guilt. Just disgusting.
These creeps are going to be appointed to the cabinet aren't they?
Yup
It's all to make people be angry, rage and riot so trump can justify calling either rrhe military, or his Nazi goons to attack citizens as a display of his power.
Yeah, I know. They're looking for an excuse to impose martial law.
We don't want these cunts back.
National IQ in the US is about to drop a couple of points.
I don't think our collective IQ was that high to begin with...77million idiots voted for trump a second time.
I didn't think minus values were possible on standard IQ tests.
They’ll be appointed to government positions soon.
They will be leading the new government department called RAPE (Republican Advocacy for Patriarchy Enforcement)
I remember when I thought Tony Abbott appointing himself 'Minister for Women' back in 2013 was the height of absurdity.
Now the Tate brothers will likely have some position in the US government.
We live in 'interesting' times.
Remember Mitt (Binders Fulla Women) Romney? We were still traumatized by Bush 2 and then there's this scumbag possibly the next president? It feels quaint that I thought we were as low as we could get as a country. Luckily the other less scummy scumbag won... no point in typing out the rest.
We live in ‘interesting’ times.
The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.

Named official envoy to... Romania, so that he can go back and pick right up where he left off, except now he'll have diplomatic immunity.
Remember when pedos got beat down instead of protected?
I thought Trump was supposed to be deporting criminal immigrants.
Rape isn’t a big deal according to trump supporters
Make sure you read the trump thesaurus,
criminal: brown, black, non-english-speaking
Don't forget poor
But the tates love minors, and committing sexual crimes, so it's something trump loves and wants more of.
And they hate women with a vengeance, which will make them extra popular.

The brothers are outspoken supporters of Donald Trump, and several members of the US president’s inner circle have spoken out publicly against their treatment, including Donald Trump Jr who described their detention as “absolute insanity”.
Elon Musk responded to a suggestion from Tate that he would “run for prime minister of the UK” by saying “he’s not wrong”, while one of Tate’s lawyers, Paul Ingrassia, is the White House liaison official for the US Department of Justice.
According to Ingrassia, the Tate brothers were “sacrificed on the altar of the Matrix under the banner of egregious crimes they never committed”. The US vice-president, JD Vance, has appeared on a pro-Tate podcast.
what the hell is this?! will someone please reboot this fucking universe! I am disgusted to be alive right now.
The world is rebooting at the moment. The old systems are breaking down, the new system is still being written and in the meantime all kinds of rogue elements run havoc.
Remember kids, that's why boot security is important.
:(
Well said
I’m always so optimistic—[…]
(that’s where I’ll terminate that thought for now, too early for it)
You want a reboot? Well, incedentally a lot of this shit is in America, a country that reportedly has more guns than people. Time to start using them.
I'm absolutely disgusted by this. These guys were trafficking and raping young women (kids?) and Trump thinks this is not only OK but to be encouraged? And Romania... WTF?
Trump is looking for his new Epstein. Remember, he partied with both Epstein and Maxwell, flying over half a dozen times on Epstein's private plane, "The Lolita Express."
Like with anything the GOP accuses Dems of, the sex trafficking ring was projection.
Don't forget that Trump and Epstein used to fly on Trump's private jet as well, along with the young contestants of Trump Beauty Pagents, who Trump says he liked to "surprise" by opening the door of the changing rooms at the pagents.
Yes, those girls were about 15 and Trump used to try to catch them naked in the dressing rooms. And he bragged about it.
Which pizza parlor do you suppose they do their satanic rituals in?
I'd be cool with him getting the Epstein treatment.

It'd be a real shame if the Uber they pick up at the airport spun out and hit a bridge embankment before bursting into flames with the driver miraculously escaping unharmed.
Trump probably sent them an armored limo straight to mar a lago.
"Travel" 😉 I'm sure they'll be back for the trial
I don't understand this.
Venezuelans escaping from a communist dictator: ❌ Fuck them, send back to their country where they will be tortured and imprisoned
Same for Haitians
A serial rapist that boasts and is proud to be a serial rapist: ✔️ Yes please, we like people like this
I don’t understand this.
Republicans and Trump are evil pieces of shit, which means they will do the absolute worst thing possible every time.

Idaho gonna hate Trump now for being a tater immigrater.

Can't say I'm surprised. There were credible rumous that the US pressured our gvt to release them. Word on the street is that they "traded" handing these two over in exchange for the US shutting up about the arrest of the russian puppet candidate. These both happened in the same day, so there may some truth to that. Honestly this wouldn't feel like that bad of a deal - one manchurian candidate for two instagram pimps. It's immoral, cowardly and corrupt, but these are the times we're living in.
Just remember this every time a US official blabbers stuff about other countries' election interference.
