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.

He found out all that white powder was just snow and left.
I want my two dollars!
Gee Johnny, I don’t have a dime.
Didn’t ask for no dime. click Two dollars.
oh my god... what film was that from?
memory fucking unlocked.. i remember not getting that joke when i was a kid
Better Off Dead. One of John Hughes earlier efforts, and still very quotable.
This might date me but I love the Howie Cosell impressions.
dang, and I just rewatched One Crazy Summer
Better Off Dead. One of the most quotable movies.
“I can’t feel my face”
“I want my two dollars”
“It’s a shame when folks be throwing out a perfectly good white boy like that”
“He put he testicles all over me” “tentacles… there’s a difference”
Gee Ricky, I'm real sorry your mom exploded.
Chriiiiiismaaaaaassss
I have been watching Conan Without Borders and just coincidentally watched a 2019 episode where he goes to Greenland to arrange for its sale to the US. This was from the last time Trump was making noise about wanting Greenland during his first term.
It was pretty funny. Needless to say the people of Greenland were less than jazzed about the prospect of joining the US.
Probably even less enthused the longer this circus goes on.
And here I thought the official line was that he was there to record a podcast, and not to try and somehow buy Greenland for daddy. Or was that also fake news? Or was that fake news then but now real, because the other news that he's trying to buy Greenland is now fake?
Also, how many different ways can we record a podcast with people in other places without being there physically? Even the official story screams "publicity stunt"
He has literally done that himself many times.
Nope, the podcast thing was just a cover story, trump was tweeting the whole time that "his agents" were in greenland
It still is.
But if they tell trumpets that someone loves trump and everything else is "fake news" they'll believe trump over the actual people 10/10 times.
Wait, was this legit? Was that idiot foolish enough to travel with this purpose, and expect any other result?
An article from yesterday said he claimed he was only going there for one day for podcast content, so him returning a day later isn't surprising, the clickbait headline didn't really need to call it "fleeing." Government officials said there were no meetings planned or anything, so I doubt he was there in an official capacity. Just using his planned presence there to conveniently spout bullshit.
Should someone tell him that there's this neat new intention called "the world wide web" and that you can talk to people, and see on-demand titties, using it?
E: "cousin! want to go bowling? what about some titties?"
What's this about titties?
He probably also had great ideas how to make the glacier melt faster.
He's out there with a hair dryer trying to melt it faster...
His son is also crazy?
It's, in all likelihood, just continuing the ruse to distract the idiot media into ignoring the corrupt and unqualified cabinet picks. It's working.
Trump himself said that he's valuing loyalty and obedience over competence this time. We can only hope the incompetence is sufficiently dire that not much gets done.
Hell, check out Barron's history of animal mutilation and other psychopathic behaviors...
Shame he didn’t get frostbite while he was there.
You can tell this is a lie bc Trump doesn't even love Trump
His face is too big in this Photoshop. It's off-putting.
And too ugly
Here I fixed it.
That is somehow less revolting. Thank you, kind Internet denizen!
I need to get a better photo editing / meme making app
you know what they also love. A good old fashion shit sandwich. Its second only to their love of trump.
I didn't know there was a Donald Trump junior
How fucking unfortunate for him
Oh you sweet summer child
Huh. So maybe a small crowd (dozens!) of paid shills isn't enough to influence an entire country to support your bullshit. Who knew? Certainly not the Americans, anyway.
