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.

Time Until Trump Leaves Office
3 YEARS : 11 MONTHS : 11 DAYS : 10 HOURS : 51 MINUTES : 56 SECONDS
long sigh
"Time Until Trump Leaves Office If We're Lucky"
No, if we where lucky it'd be immediately courtesy of a meteor or something that couldn't be reasonably viewed as a conspiracy to make him a martyr.
On schedule will be the result of a perpetual fight to keep him and his monkeys in check.
If a rock fell from space on that man, his followers would 100% claim the involvement of Jewish Gravity Weapons and start jailing astronomers.
What if the earth opened up near him and a red scaly claw grabbed him to drag him down with evil laughter?
They'd absolutely blame Nancy Pelosi for that!
What if the heavens split and a booming voice said "I am the father, the son and the holy spirit, and thou I said I wasn't going to do this kind of thing any more I smite you sinner Donald Trump "
And then trump spontaneously combusted.
Clearly Crooked Joe Biden's fault.
"Trump got grabbed by demons and pulled straight through a portal down to hell as Satan laughed at the prospect of his eternal torture for his sins."
"THANKS, OBAMA!"
They’d go after Sam Raimi and the Roma.
Edit: Alex Jones #Predictive Programming
Sam Raimi and the Roma sounds like an indie retro punk band.
Let's be honest- they're a cult.
No matter when that fat orange traitor dies, they're going to claim it was murder. Because why shouldn't an obese 80-year-old cheeseburger-guzzling sleep-deprived amphetamine-addicted deadbeat live to be 200?
I was gonna try and find some way to secret a tesla coil in the Oval Office and aim it for the resolute desk.
Meteors sound reasonable. Good idea. There’s plenty of NASA peeps who are suddenly available too!
Yeah, it's either going to be way before or way after. There's virtually no chance it's actually on Jan 20th.
Oh, he won't leave. At that point he has declared himself an god emperor.
He will leave, but he'll create a Trump dynasty. He'll be asking Kim for advice and I don't mean kardashian
He could also die of a heart attack before that. He really should have by now though with how he eats.
Trump will not leave office willingly. The game has changed. You can't vote out a dictator. The US just had its last free election for the foreseeable future.
The only way out of this is by taking to the streets in protest, strikes, and disobedience. Pretending everything will be okay in 4 years will just keep people complacent and doing nothing and allow him to solidify his control.
This is not normal. You are no longer in a democracy, and you're moving away from it by the day.
Fucking hell has it not even been a month yet!?
The countdown is kinda depressing (only because we have so long to go), but each second passed gives me hope. Carry on good Samaritan 👍
Are you seriously believing with the way things go now that he won't try and remove that obstacle? You guys are on the way to facist dictatorship and you point at a clock that shows a potential meaningless number.
I'll take any small victory I can at this point, shits bleak AF
He said “you won’t have to vote anymore”. So he’s definitely gonna try something. Will be interesting to see how he’ll do that…
That countdown timer just doesn't want to work for me:
I only managed to load it in Opera browser on real Android phone.
Ah yes, his wife who made the unforgivable crime of being born black.
Someone remind me about the racial makeup of Meghan Markle. Because something tells me that her father's race could possibly be relevant in Trump's assessment.
Aside from how terrible that article is, it clearly states a visa application may not be granted if the applicant has a prior drug CONVICTION. Which Harry doesn't. So what's the problem? This is just more bullshit hot air generated by the Heritage Foundation, get a life losers.
What a cunt
Yes, but it's something he and Harry's late racist grandmother would agree on. So there's that.
What cunts.
She’s not that bad
Honestly surprised Trump didn’t call her “his DEI wife”
She only became his wife because she's a woman.
He is such a drama queen
Lol.
SNL is so fucked at this point. how you gonna come up with satire when america is the worlds biggest joke at the moment? i pitty the writers.
There's no legal mechanism to do so and the UK isn't someone the USA can afford to piss off.
Neither of your points are of any concern to the current administration.
I don't think any concerns meet that criteria.
Putin's and Xi's concerns do, mostly.
I think he thinks about China as much as he thinks about last night's supper, he knows ultimately China will back down, not because it is weak but because it is sane. Putin created Trump to perform a few basic tasks and having gained power in such an unopposed manner he is now up to whatever takes his fancy in the moment and that will be as problematic for Russia as it will for everyone else.
