Rules (2024-08-30)

This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
on Hungary: Euronews

Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

And get Vance instead? If that’s not an insurance then I don’t know what is haha.

Vance doesn't have the cult of personality, no one has it. If Vance takes over, it suddenly becomes OK to criticize his actions, and everything/everyone attached to him.

MAGA should be frothing at the mouth over Musk, but he's Trump's golden boy. Take Trump away, out come the pitchforks.

We just need Trump, Vance, and Musk to all get in a fatal airplane crash together. Nothing of value would be lost.

Don't need a plane, just have them carpool in cybertruck long enough and the law of averages will handle the rest.

Mike Johnson is next in line don't forget. They got the royal flush of fuckwads and as he told Zalinsky we ain't holding any cards. At least in that sense.

I would say an airplane can have quite some value. Maybe they can just fall out the door of it during flight? Without a parachute of course.

That's just rude, at least give them some dignity. Give em a parachute that you know doesn't work.

How can he be worse? Trumps health is so bad he's just doing whatever people tell him. He is not functionally in charge right now anyway.

Trump has whims but Vance has plans which is way worse. Trump being incredibly incompetent is a saving grace in all of this mess. Imagine that US elected a professional autocrat like Orban - they’d be stuck in this for decades.
