News
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, blogs, 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 actually visited that cancerous site, because I do like to keep up with what both sides are saying.
It was hard, but I did go and read the drivel and also watch the video.
I've got to say, folks, and who would've guessed it, but what they put on the page and what was in the video did not add up at all. AOC was asking the guy what specific charge they were bringing with them for the impeachment, and his first response was some smart ass thing. Okay, par for the course with these idiots, but I'll keep watching.
She asks again, and he says RICO.

Which was not a SPECIFIC charge, it is a CATEGORY, which AOC even reminded him and the rest of the participants.
My tax dollars are paying for monkeys to wear suits, just to sling shit at each other. Good to know.
Even better.
They'll get elected and then pass a law they know will arouse controversy, like abolishing Martin Luther King Day. They will use taxpayer dollars to defend the law while the Left has to spend donations that could have gone to other causes. They create a money drain for the Left, and the taxpayers foot the bill.
So then I would suggest that the left enact a law that specifically allows for the complete ignoring or bad faith bullshit Republican laws. If they can't get their shit together to actually participate in DEMOCRACY then they should be ignored like we ignore the idiot yelling on a street corner.
Seriously, one need only read a single paragraph of that page.
So they need to name two crimes in that category. In the world of legalese, this is honestly so easy to understand.
Pretty sure the thought process goes something like this:
Since Trump is being charged under RICO, we'll point at Biden and say "Him too!".
