Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I mean, we call it Cologne, Germany, and we renamed Tahoma -- the fuck does any of this matter? Dude is accused of fucking children, our economy and the cost of living gets worse by the day, our civil liberties are not so much being violated as much as they are completely ignored and systemically violated, we've entered yet another endless war, and he can't even establish a competent cabinet let alone govern -- but sure let's talk about his goofy executive orders that can be fixed with the stroke of a pen when he's finally out of office.

It only matters because people voted Trump in despite him being convicted of so many felonies and despite him being found civilly liable for sexual assault and despite the fact that he's just so transparently a real life villain.

So if all of that isn't convincing, what do you do? One thing is you can emphasize how embarrassing Trump is. Some people will change allegiance just to not feel like an embarrassing loser.

It's just increasingly hard for me to believe that there weren't election shenanigans -- how the fuck did this guy get elected a second time?! Not only is that an illustration how terrible our population is at electing people, but it's also an example of how terrible the Democrats are at selecting and running candidates. Fucking depressing.

Kamala or Biden still would have been 1000x better than tiny d.

I would not be surprised at all to learn that the election was rigged.
