Now I'm waiting for the "US embassador Nick Adams arrested in Malaysia for rape" headline.

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago

I was gonna comment child sex trafficking, but pretty much the same idea.

[-] SheeEttin@lemmy.zip 7 points 10 months ago

Diplomatic immunity. They can't arrest him, the most they can do is kick him out of the country.

“US ambassador Nick Adams missing during impromptu jungle trek in Malaysia"

[-] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 months ago

In other unrelated news, locals emerge from jungle looking quite satisfied.

Is there anything douchier than a guy who calls himself an alpha male?

[-] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 19 points 10 months ago

A guy who writes a book about it?

[-] Maven@lemmy.zip 7 points 10 months ago

He wrote MULTIPLE books about it!

[-] SGGeorwell@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

While wearing an ascot

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 22 points 10 months ago

Sweet, fucking baby Jesus. This is truly the dumbest timeline.

He's gonna abuse his Malaysian maid isn't he?

[-] Zron@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

You mean the one he has now or the one the government will be paying for?

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Don't be ridiculous. The maids here (we call them domestic helpers) are from other asean countries in the region. Plenty of local girls to go around for an expat paedo to grope. Foreigner worship and scoring an expat mate is a thing here.

/s (not really)

every news from the US in 2025 sounds like an episode of House of Cards. We're not even done with the year yet man

Epstein file doesnt have anything
missing minutes from CCTV because the camera "reset" everytime.
a new NASA director who never had any space experiences. Dont worry though, the guy starred in an MTV series.
ICE. I guess no need to explain further: unjust, racist, shit tons of money.
denaturalization is a thing now , apparently.

and a lot more. The fucked up part is we are not even done with trump, he still has 3.5 years left !

Not if we convert all 20 seats held by Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections. Then the orange man has to go away.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah, but a war is happening half a world away and my feels is hurt. I think I'll sit it out in protest. Damn the parties for not fielding credible candidates!

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Isn't he like....mostly just twitter famous??

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 10 months ago

and hes from australia too. hes graying at 39, age isnt kind to him.

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 13 points 10 months ago

Isn't that normal? I mean people can start greying in their 20s.

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

But he's wearing an ascot! Those are rich, dignified grays! You can tell he's rich and cultured.

...Cuz of the ascot.

[-] prex@aussie.zone 6 points 10 months ago

Of all the things that make this guy so unpleasant, grey hair is waaay down the list.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

considering his identiy/grift revolves around his looks its fair game, stop deflecting.

[-] prex@aussie.zone 6 points 10 months ago

This Australian can only apologise.
For shame.

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Just forge a latter from the prime minister inviting him over for a swim. We can all get over it.

[-] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

My prediction is this guy has active involvement in human trafficking and that this position enables that work.

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Your royal garment my king.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Alpha as in unstable and full of bugs? Yeah I can see that

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I dunno, Malaysia might like him.

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 11 points 10 months ago

Cannot confirm, i want him send back.

[-] RedPostItNote@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Just return to sender his forehead when he arrives and send him back on the plane

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.
