What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

I could certainly get behind 3 consecutive prison terms.

He's not going to last another 5 years. Unless they put him on a machine.

The way it's phrased in the quotes, this seems more like a reference to their ridiculous conspiracy theory that he won in 2020 and is thus technically the president today, rather than an assertion that he'll run in 2028 even if he wins this year.

There's a lot floating where this guy lives. People are eating their Wheaties I guess.

Very optimistic to believe he'd live that long in the first place. He'd be lucky to live through the next one, even. He's pretty old.

Nevermind being actually elected, or staying out of prison.

He will live to 125, at minimum. This is our life now.

And when he finally does die, we'll get an AI chat model of him to continue rambling on Twitter.
