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.

He does, he knows most people will have forgotten what he said two weeks prior
That's cause he forgets everything within 2 weeks, and he has a very good brain, maybe one of the best, everyone is saying so.
It is a slippery thing, this two weeks — not a measurement of time so much as a placeholder. Two weeks for Mr. Trump can mean something, or nothing at all. It is both a yes and a no. It is delaying while at the same time scheduling. It is not an objective unit of time, it is a subjective unit of time. It is completely divorced from any sense of chronology. It simply means later. But later can also mean never. Sometimes.
Nobody wants to get fired so they keep telling him just two more weeks, and he’s too senile to feel the passage of time or form memories.
"but you said three weeks, sir"
You said it yesterday.
He does, sort of. It's his base that are all proverbial goldfish.
Yes, and he plans to do something extra crazy in the next two weeks to (hopefully) make you talk about something else.
Incoming headline: “Donald Trump plans to blow up moon, says it ruins night sky”
Donald Trump thinks of time in terms of Taco Tuesdays.
I read that in an italian mafia way, "Donnie Two Weeks, everything is two weeks away with this guy!"

Total victory in two weeks in a war he said was won two months ago.
Itd be nice if congress did their damned job and followed the law around trumps ability to command the armed forces indefinitely into war without congress declaring war.
Just once they could do their jobs. Its not a lot to ask.
Look at the calibre of people that take those seats in Congress now, they hide and follow and know nothing else. The other sort of person who in the past would have led is weeded out early in their political career by a press owned by the people who own everything else.
Again?
A "builder" at heart.
I thought he had total victory 7 times or so already?
OBLITERATED.

Wonder how many days that is in human time. He would finish the Ukraine war in 24h, so something tells me it's about 700 weeks or so.
Unfortunately only 500 days.
Obama’s kenyan birth certificate was promised to everyone “in two weeks” 16 years ago, so I guess we’re probably in this for the next 16 years.
Right around this time is when I realized it was too late, some people just don't want to listen to reality.
It was so easy to prove that false and people ran with it anyway.
It should have been immediately disqualifying for any presidential candidate and then he’s vomited out a constant stream of even more disqualifying things on a daily basis since then and no one has held him accountable yet. I can’t believe so many people are so divorced from reality and intelligence that he hasn’t been tossed into the sun by this point.
Get ready!!! 
When I used to work with kids, if they wanted to know how long it would be until something, and they wouldn't take "I don't know" as an answer, I always said 15 minutes. Short enough that they'd stop asking, but long enough that they would go off, do something else, and forget about it.
2 weeks folks.
"Just two more weeks, bro."
He means it this time.
What's up with the increase use of articles from the terrorist state of Israel?
INFRASTRUCTURE WEEK, BABYBEEEEEEEE!!!
The same two weeks I've waited through both his presidencies for him to address infrastructure?
Do rapists experience time in a different way than everyone else?
Oh sweet, another 2 weeks? How many fortnights is that now?
TWO!!! MORE!! WEEKS!!
👏two👏more👏weeks👏
"just 2 more weeks, for real this time guys, you'll see."
Dumpy Donny drops more $2b/bomb on a animal shelter. "There was Intel of enriched uranium there".
oh. yeah. I remember when he said this just as it started.
No worries. After it's all done, Karoline Leavitt will just speak into her speakwrite and retroactively everything will be re-written to say that it was always two weeks after all. Don't panic, everybody.
Too Weak Trump at it again 🙄
Oh you think he means two weeks from now?
No, he always means two weeks from the date it happens.
Two weeks from when he was last asked.
Defeating Iran every other week has gotta be really embarrassing for them.
Narrator: It wasn't.
He's under an audit, you see. Those IRS audits are crazy, folks.
Give it about two more weeks.
Any minute now...
for the seventh time
