Fun fact: the actor ad-libbed in “locked” instead of “encoded” originally, and it worked well enough that it became a thing right then, pretty much.

World News@lemmy.world•Deported immigrants to be sent to the Congo under US deal for third-country removalsEnglish
8·1 month agoOfficially, they’re just housing them until their official removal procedures. Unofficially, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of these people aren’t disappearing into the slave trade as soon as it’s convenient.

World News@lemmy.world•Leaders of Elite Paratrooper Unit Ordered to Middle East as Trump Weighs Iran Ground WarEnglish
2·2 months agoYeah, it would look like that Spetsnaz drop on Kyiv’s airport.

World News@lemmy.world•Trump says he’ll have the ‘honor of taking Cuba’ and can do ‘anything I want with it’English
9·2 months agoTalking awfully big for a man threatening a country with arguably one of the best infiltrations of the US intelligence network since the USSR. I’m unsure how true it is since the Cold War, but time was when you couldn’t go take a shit in the Pentagon without Castro knowing about it.

World News@lemmy.world•Bailiffs board Ryanair plane after airline refuses to pay delayed flight compensation. The company refused to compensate a woman. She sued and won. Ryanair ignored the court order.English
44·2 months agoRyanair operates in numerous countries. What’s stopping them from just moving the plane to “coincidentally” operate only in countries that won’t bother with seizing the plane?

World News@lemmy.world•Iran may be activating sleeper cells outside the country, alert saysEnglish
3·2 months agoFederal takeover, no. Now, federalizing National Guard units and having them and ICE police polling places in swing states to make sure “people vote correctly”?

World News@lemmy.world•North Korea cancels Pyongyang Marathon for 'some reasons'English
2·2 months agoWell our next target according to Dear Leader Trump is Cuba, so maybe. Why not run a war on 3 separate continents at once, multifront wars are always totally winnable.
And likely fiscally. Did anyone check if a bunch of senators bought defense stocks?

World News@lemmy.world•U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of JesusEnglish
1·2 months agoNo, MAGA doesn’t have the “embrace of death” ideology that much. I feel they’re trying to “score points” with Jesus by simply killing as many “undesirables” as they can get their hands on, and some MIGHT kill themselves when they realize He ain’t coming back.

World News@lemmy.world•BREAKING: U.S. and Israel Bomb Iran Amid Peace TalksEnglish
2371·3 months agoTrump did this last term too, we killed their intelligence chief when he landed for peace talks with Iraq.
This is a war crime, BTW. Attacking someone under a perceived state of truce or ceasefire is called “perfidy”.

World News@lemmy.world•Trump Reveals He’s Taking $10 Billion From Taxpayers for His New BoardEnglish
2·3 months agoHe might look it, but not feel it. There’s a LOT of eyes looking at the big chair and saying “wow Trump is doing a shitty job, I could easily do better if only he’d move out of the way.”

World News@lemmy.world•Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested and in custody on suspicion of misconduct in public officeEnglish

World News@lemmy.world•Father faces no charges for fatally shooting daughter after fight about Donald TrumpEnglish
1·3 months agoSo someone else also pointed out grand jury members in TX are appointed positions of “respectable” members of society.
Sadly, this just sounds like the Good Old Boy Network doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.
To cheer everyone up a bit, here’s a bit about that time a WV town got a bridge built by asking the USSR.

World News@lemmy.world•Trump creates his own UN: countries must pay US$1bn to join his "Board of Peace" – BloombergEnglish
4·4 months agoActually, at least according to this article, the charter does state that any funds will be personally controlled by Trump (or whoever he designates as his successor).
Oh it gets more fun, because if you have to go by ambulance like I did, you get a bill from the ambulance company. The one I had tried to quadruple charge me and had to be told multiple times that the bill was paid, they can’t keep making up new charges because “we forgot one thing” or “rates changed”.
Luckily it was all worker’s compensation, so I didn’t pay a cent, but it was a rather interesting 6 months.

World News@lemmy.world•Venezuela ‘turning over’ up to 50m barrels of oil to the US, Trump saysEnglish
3·4 months agoOh nah, they’re selling it at market rate, but the money goes into a PERSONAL ACCOUNT FOR TRUMP. Not into a government fund.
Dude just extorted about 2 billion bucks for himself, with more on the way if he keeps seizing tankers.

World News@lemmy.world•Stephen Miller ramps up Trump threats to take over GreenlandEnglish
1·4 months agoBy his logic, that one DOGE kid that allegedly got assaulted by a bunch of teens deserved it because he couldn’t fight back.

While this is true, you have to think on diplomatic terms too. The number of countries that will actually deal with us long-term is rapidly falling because President Sundown might wake up tomorrow and decide to tear up your trade deal or defense agreement or whatever. I can definitely see India saying “no” purely because of that.
