I can think of a country that the world would be better off having a different president.

It's about to alter the balance of power in Washington - less than a month away from that.

Maybe Zelensky should be the president of the United States so she can get done correctly. I take him over Trump any day if it was even remotely possible.

Me too. I have massive respect for comedians and their perspective on life, I think any one of them would do a better job than Trump, Zelensky included.

I tell everyone I meet they’d be a better president than Trump. I really mean it, I’ve never meant someone that fucking stupid in real life. He’s a real dumbass!

It's past time time for the U.S. to get a President again. The folks allowing this demented puppet to keep shitting behind the Resolute Desk need to be reigned in.

Americans complain about China and Russia interfering in their elections.

Americans also kidnap foreign leaders, calling for the overthrow of other governments.

That's crazy. What is crazy you ask? How many times the orange plague is in the trumpstein files. He is listed more times that God is written in the Bible. He is a rapist and a pedophile.

Time to start talking about the Epstein files again and that Demented Don is the most frequently mentioned person in them.

did zelensky release the original Epstein files?

every country needs a president that would release the Epstein files even though the Americans have said "we are moving on from the Epstein files"

Zemesnky is out at the second the ward end. The war doesn't look like it s going to finish soon. It certainly will be useful for the usa that a Ukrainian politics can force a ceasefire treaty

Honestly, I couldn't care less about the Ukraine war. My entire life has been war after war after war that the US supposedly just had to get involved in or WW3 would happen, or whatever.

A majority of Americans are finding that their full-time labor doesn't buy them housing or food now, and that is the war we should be focused on, the one being waged against us by fucking billionaires.

That said, Ukraine has something the US clearly needs: drone tech and anti-drone tech. The Iran War has made that obvious, but we're still blowing money on subs and battleships and it doesn't make any goddamn sense when the nature of war is changing before our very eyes and the loss of our bases, planes, troops, and materiel clearly necessitates that we adapt.

And Ukraine, clearly, has the expertise to help us do that. Even if only out of self-interest, the US should be much more helpful in the Ukrainians' war of defense.

I am mocking the lack of thought in your wordy comment, in which you declare you don't care about the Ukraine war because you're so tired of wars, and then declare actually it could be useful in the Iran war.

You know America attacked Iran, not the other way around, right?

I am mocking the fact that you either didn't read my reply or think it through.

But that's okay. It's not like any of this matters. Have a lovely Sunday.

A community for discussing events around the World

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.
