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.

I think that's the best description of that c*nt I've ever heard
It's an actual diagnosis.
does the DSM have a photo of trump next to the description?
An amazing insult, tbh
Charlie’s always known how to string words together in accurate but powerful ways.
“Your DEI nightmare? Well, we are your DEI nightmare, Donald. Canada will always be a country of diversity. We will always be a country of equity. We will always be a country of inclusion. And we will defend the rule of law.”
The words of a based politician, I would think.
How refreshing to see such leadership. You rock, Mr. Charles Angus.
Literally did too, I guess, because... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Angus
It is nice looking outside the US and seeing foreign politicians and heads of state using actual mean words to describe a fascist. Here in the US we see former presidents and POTUS candidates, even those who spent the whole campaign calling Trump 'Hitler' chumming around with him at public events.
Hell, it's nice seeing them use complete sentences and proper grammar.
Fair point there too.
His band is actually going to be doing more stuff now that Angus is winding down his political career and not seeking re-election. He did an interview with Rachel Gilmore a few weeks ago and mentioned it briefly.
Great band name!
The Malignant Narcissistic Slug & His Incel Gang
It fits — Charlie is a punk rocker whose band opened for the Dead Kennedys.
That is so cool!
I need to play this song.
As an aside, I really like your username and avatar.
Oh hey 2112... You're actually the first person here to notice / comment on it!
Everyone who thinks this rich fat guy who wears makeup on his neck every day is manly in any way is a cuck.
I hope this holds true for Europe as well, and much of the rest of the world.
Nothing brings people together like a common enemy, esp. one so deserving.
trumpy is also helping to unite the US, against him and his crimes.
What? Trump's approval is pretty much 50/50, starkly along party lines.
You know Trump and co. got offended when they were called weird during the presidential campaign? Why won't international politicians call him as he is-- a weirdo. He's genuinely a weirdo with all the tariffs and threatening American allies; alienating him and the country. There is really no overall rationale other than to serve Putin the advantage.
That's totally what the US voters were planning on happening when they voted for this dipshit. You're welcome, world, we united you all against us!
If he ever has to sit on that couch in the White House to be asked "have you said 'thank you'?", he can say yes and point to this.
