Just imagine what would be happening right now if we had elected that horrible genocide supporting Kamala instead!

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. 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.

You don't understand, the job numbers were going up on her watch. But they were SOFT jobs numbers!
IKR. So many palestinians shouting to the mountains for their saviors who abstained for their sakes.
I wish I could live to see the day where citing the Bible in support of an argument gets you laughed out of the fucking room.
Ive waited for that day since I was a child
FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸🙏
What's left of it anyway : /
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
It's okay. At least blue maga and genocide Joe have been punished. This is worth Palestine being crushed into the dirt.
So they don't have a right to it is what you're saying.
In that case, Spain has a divine right to all parts of the US west of the Tordesillas Meridian. The pope said so.
Sectarian violence should have no place in a secular government
The theocrats have won. We don't have a secular government anymore.
Remember everyone, the "ceasefire" that Trump "negotiated" (wink wink) is in no way just a temporary distraction, he's better for Gaza than Dems could ever have been.
They haven't even stopped killing. Most of the death at this point is from injury, disease, and starvation, and I'm sure they are still not letting any food come in. And they've still been shooting people. And they did an air strike on a refugee camp in the West Bank yesterday, too, which they had been leaving alone for the most part.
Presumably, they'll keep doing that until someone shoots at the IDF, at which point it will suddenly become a big deal that "Hamas broke the ceasefire" and they'll resume unapologetically shooting people at scale. Starvation and disease, meanwhile, will be doing their gruesome work throughout, unabated.
I don't honestly know whether Netanyahu engineered the timing on purpose, to give an opportunity for craven propaganda outlets to make a big fanciful noise about what a genius Trump is because he fixed Palestine, unlike that loser Joe Biden. I could see it either way: It would cost him nothing, but on the other hand, why bother? I'm not sure he really cares what people say about Trump. Either way, he gets what he wants.
trump didn’t negotiate the ceasefire, and if he did that would be illegal since he wasn’t president yet.
(it’s illegal to negotiate on behalf of the US in a non-official capacity).
Pretty sure the dude you're replying to is being sarcastic.
i know
Yes, that was one reason for the quotes. (and the winking)

That’s a fun way to say no right at all but Israel probably disagrees
We did it, Patrick. We saved Palestine.
Kamala would've nuked it.
You know, hormones and the predisposition to genocide, or whatever.
Great work everyone.
As a bonus, we get to:
- increase drug prices (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/initial-rescissions-of-harmful-executive-orders-and-actions/
The original EO is here, and was really difficult to Google:
https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/10/19/2022-22834/lowering-prescription-drug-costs-for-americans). - Declare everyone as biologically female (because at inception, all embryos are female. It's only after 6-7 weeks that the y chromosome kicks in an makes it biologically male. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK222286/, https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/ - note the "at conception" points)).
- Cancel climate change (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/declaring-a-national-energy-emergency/).
Hurray.
Everyone do a ~~nazi~~ elon salute
Edit: bullet points
Stop believing your lying eyes
Declare everyone as biologically female (because at inception, all embryos are female. It's only after 6-7 weeks that the y chromosome kicks in an makes it biologically male.

As somebody who has done courses in gender studies it is painful how plain wrong and unscientific this is. Sure will be true for a lot of the other ones (especially climate). The sex ideology one (and contrary to their claim they of course are the ones with an ideology, because that is what you have when you ignore reality and make up your own truth based on falsehood) will do a lot of harm on the short term. There are real people out there who's whole existence just got denied. My heart goes out (without a Sieg Heil, but in an empatic way) to all the Transpeople, Intersex People, Non-Binary People and all others who just got their identity denied. Please stay safe and hold tight. There are sane cis people out here who know you exist and stand by your side. For what ever that will be worth in the time to come.

Correction on your one point - they declared that everyone is neither male nor female, since no one at conception produces reproductive cells. That starts happening later.

You know what the bible also says, Elise?
"I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.
-- 1 Timothy 2:12
Please STFU Elise Stefanik as is your biblical right, nay duty, thus sayeth your lord.
According to the white house you're a woman too. As gender is now assigned at conception ... Stupid penis taking 8 weeks to start appearing in utero.

Then don’t be surprised about Muslims following the Quran to the letter
• Surah Al-Hajj (22:39-40)
“Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory. [They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right—only because they say, ‘Our Lord is Allah.’ …”
Bible is not historically accurate. (≖_≖ )
A work of fiction isn't historically accurate?
I'm shocked, absolutely shocked, I tell you!
The bible is just a story book, and if you take it so seriously that you support what is happening over there right now then you're fucked.
Fight me.
therefore american indians have a birthright to 100% of the united states, right? right?

Trump And the Gang...as a non north American, i knew my investment on a popcorn machine wouldn't go to waste! Need so much popcorn for the next 5 years watching Trump's shenanigans and the (north) American people doing nothing irl except commenting on social media about his BS and how things could have been better. WAKE UP MOFOS! This guy's gonna destroy your country! This is no time to be a keyboard warrior!
There is not much we can do about it at this point. The citizens have made their choice. And the ones that made the choice are the ones with the most guns.
And now you know why the DNC was so rabid about guns despite there being so many other things that kill more people and don't automatically alienate half the country.
Gun violence is a problem. The DNC chose to die on that hill. I guarantee that there will be more gun violence than there would have been as the fucking shitbag Nazi's keep doing there thing. There are a surprising number of people who will never vote Democrat because "they will take my guns away".
This was an issue chosen to keep the US divided and ensure that the half that really oppose the oligarchy are not the half that is armed.
Good news liberals, leftists and all of you that are not part off the Nazi party, you can still buy guns at the store or from you neighbor.
Don't let the Nazis seize power. They are 1000% more likely to kill you and your entire family than your chances of dying from random gun violence pre 2016. We are quickly approaching the point of no return.
Protect yourself, your family, your friends, and those that can't protect themselves.
Fertiliser is cheap.
much surprise that Trump decided to side with the powerful and the rich
It's barely in the Torah, and it's sure as shit not in the bibble.
These fucking cunts either pretend to believe in fairy tales or really do believe in fairy tales, and I’m not sure which is worse.
