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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Another illegal {insert thing here}?
Oh, wow, is it time to arrest and charge?
Or, will you do nothing just like the 7456 times the fat cunt broke your laws in the last year and you did fuck all?
An illegal executive order isn't a crime, it just doesn't count.
This seems like a job for drumroll+horns CHUCK SHUMER & HAKEEM JEFFRIES
Dynamic duo of incompetence extraordinaire!
At this point I'd prefer if people stopped ignoring the entire reason all this shit is going on- every single last Republican.
This criticism makes no sense. Articles of impeachment require a simple majority in the house and then a 2/3rds majority in the Sentate.
The dems don't have the votes. Jeffries likely couldn't even get it to the house floor for a vote. Johnson wouldn't allow it.
Like we can critize them for giving the Republicans their budget or about 1,000 other issues within their power, but this isn't something they can deliver. Unless a lot of Republicans suddenly grow a conscience
"HAKEEM! get the paper! I'll get the pen and meet me in the cafeteria for another 'strongly worded letter' writing session!"
At this point Chucks glasses were so far down his nose Hakeem knew it was about time the Baileys were about to show up in person.
Would they be as concerned as Chumer? Find out this and more in the next thrilling episode.
I'm not sure something like this would ever have resulted in an arrest? Even in other countries?
An impeachment and conviction and removal from office though should be in the cards, but obviously won't be.
