Zelenskyy is a comedian turned elder statesman. Trump is a failed businessman turned rapist clown.

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.

Absolutely wild that Trump and Vance thought they could just intimidate a guy that has been completely unshakeable through the last three years of what Zelenskyy has dealt with
Thats what happens when you surround yourself with nothing but yes men.
That's what happens when you're completely incompetent and unqualified.
What they tried is a common way of "negotiating" in russia so he's used to it.
Funny, wonder where trump got that idea.
I their defense... during rehearsal, the interns were terrified.
They are children with enough money to have a say in a war. They don't understand what war is. Not really. At some point they will say the wrong thing to the wrong person and it won't end well. Not for them, not for America, not for the rest of us. They think they are in charge but they are not. Putin will kill them both without a second thought if he thought he'd get away with it. They genuinely don't know the danger they are in, and Musk wearing his kid like a bullet proof vest won't save him either.
They need to be taken down before that happens. So either get protesting, America, or get another Luigi. The only choice now is who takes down Trump and if America goes with him.
They lack empathy, so they also lack the ability to understand what others go through. Both have been coddled their entire lives.
on behalf of most Americans, we're sorry.
We're not sorry enough yet. A lot to be done, and little time
Yeah. Nobody is sorry enough unless they change their behavior. America's apologies aren't even substantial enough to wipe one's own ass with until and unless we ACT to PUNISH THE FASCISTS. CORPORALLY. CAPITALLY. PERMANENTLY.
This was a show put on for Putin by has lap dog Trump.
It’s important for everyone to understand that this ambush was planned. The petty old shitbag still blames President Zelensky for not caving to his extortion attempt in 2019, and for his subsequent impeachment. The bloated felon should be in prison instead of the Oval Office, and he’ll never forgive Zelensky for being a genuinely beloved man of true strength and integrity.
The entire objective of this reprehensible spectacle was to suck up to Russia while humiliating President Zelensky on camera, and just like all trump’s moronic schemes, it backfired.
You just know that Trump is going to have to say and do some batshit wild stuff to distract us from this.
What next?
My money is on claiming Antarctica as US land because of ...uh... Ice prices or something.
So sorry, looks like the correct answer for this morning was "pardon Pete Rose and try to strongarm the MLB Hall of Fame into inducting him". I'm sure that will change by lunch though.
Jesus. Rose is dead and did 6 months at "Camp Fed" minimum security in 1990 for tax evasion related to horse-racing winnings, and memorabilia/autograph sales. There's somebody that needed a pardon. 😑
Meanwhile we're blowing up the entire Post-WW2 order, making the world much more dangerous, and destroying America's standing in the world in favor of powers that are (for now) much more autocratic.
Yay baseball!
Hey. Hey! . . . do not besmirch the baseball. This has nothing to do with baseball.
Because that's America's top priority right now.
What the fuck?
First time?
The tariffs are due to start on Canadian goods in a couple days. I expect Trudeau is going to face the same kind of tantrum.
Yeah you know, cover the cover - wasn’t this a cover for removing us intel programs to counter Russian election interference?
Did they try to cover that? Like - after it was on the front pages?
🤷
Rich deposits of unobtanium have been discovered there by the uh National Office of Discovery
If NOD found it, it's more likely to be tiberium.
Can’t wait to watch bags of ice shoot up to $10 in America.
And I've been hearing chuds delusionally expecting zelenskyy to be "impeached" e_e they seriously live in their own little world
The only gratitude that should be shown is from Putin for receiving the sloppiest of all blowjobs from Vance and Trump.
And Vance did it from the couch
So say we all.
