Americans are so lucky not to have any murders or incompetent police officers. They should tell Brits how they did it.

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.

The US interfering with another government? Never. Sidebar I thought it was essentially a given that everyone has their fingers in someone else's pie. Like Museveni (Uganda) influences Ruto (Kenya) and Kagame (Rwanda) every election and vice versa. Saudis influence Tanzania via Zanzibar and China is heavily influencing all of east Africa's politics right now. The US is influencing everyone and you have China and Russia messing with the US and the US messing with them. If you look around nearly everyone is at least messing with their neighbors government and the bigger players have global influences going on. It's one big competition for power and control between mainly sociopaths all the while the masses across the world mostly want the same thing, a good quality of life for themselves and their loved ones.
It's usually more subtle
One thing missing in the trump administrations is any level of discretion or tact, and most definitely guile which is simultaneously refreshing and infuriating. While most will tell you they're friends and fuck you when you're not looking the trump administration will straight fuck you to your face in a public room, it's horrific and honest.
True.
That's really the only material difference between Donald and the presidents who came before him: a lack of shame and subtlety. The way he operates is not fundamentally different in any meaningful way apart from presentation and the sheer will to get his own way.
Yes the only difference. Literally no difference in him and anyone else. Goddamn what kind of head injury does it take to say that?

Ah yes the Great Democracy that has banned peaceful protest if it "causes a disturbance". The one that bans entry to any person with a political opinion the government does not like. The one that [checks news] revoked the licence of a doctor for two years in response to her participation in a peaceful protest...
JD doesn't let a good chance of promoting the great replacement theory go to waste.

Vance's opinion is that of Peter Thiel and he is told what to say. Not sure why he keeps getting a soapbox to stand on, I guess it's the media billionaires offering up a megaphone for a minion that walks and talks like them. Traditionally, his type of blather is not a function of the vice-presidency.
thiel needs to vance to run inteference and distraction from himself, and from the epstein files.
Thanks gods Starmer is on the case /s
As much as I agree that he's a useless waste of oxygen this isn't actually his fault is it? The policing policy that the conservatives are complaining about was implemented by, drum roll please, the conservatives.
They are once again whining about their own decisions. There's a reason that Badenoch didn't bring this up in PMQ's.
Yes, but I think radical reforms have been needed since he took office haven’t happened. They’ve gone backwards in some cases.
He has also broken ten of his election promises, IIRC. So I’m basically saying that when a laggard like himself complains, it has less credibility.
Oh I fully agree. Though I think the larger problem is just the fact that Labour are in comprehensively terrible at comms. For example they have raised the minimum wage, something which is needed doing for a decade or more, well they finally did it but for some reason they seem very coy about actually telling anyone. So unless you were actually working minimum wage and suddenly had your pay rise you wouldn't know. Same thing for improving workers' rights, they don't appear to have actually told anybody about any of this.
So while labour definitely do need to replace him presumably with Andy Burnham, nothing's going to get better unless they actually talk to people.
He took Netanyahu's dick out of his mouth long enough to speak on the subject. That's a lot for this spoiled head of cabbage
Released the sausage
Perhaps a less homophobic metaphor might be better at getting your point across.
No. Toughen up buttercup.
vance is the absolute last person anyone should be paying attention to on any subject
Would've been nice for him to take issue with this from the start. I wonder why he's jumping on this now...
Pretending to have a spine in the run-up to the leadership challenge?
No, that would be a cynical take, couldn't be true.
If I had a dollar for every time the US empire interfered in foreign elections, or democratic processes in general, I'd be richer than Ewwon Pusk.
Guess what, the us is doing that for decades, and basically everywhere.
STARmer if only you wernt trying to advance palantir AI agenda, you would have more leverage.
