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.

“I’m not sure the public would stand for it,” he said. “I think it would be tough for the public to take. You know, at a certain point, there’s a breaking point.”

This mf really trying to do it again.

House arrest is not a penalty that would help him rehabilitate.

He needs an actual jail to learn anything.

At very least he should be doing community service. Maybe picking trash on a highway.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 62 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't think he's capable of learning any lessons from any sentence the court can provide.

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

Someone get Susan Collins in here

Sociopaths cannot be rehabilitated

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

There have been studies that make some progress with some of them, but not ones as old as Trump.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Maybe picking trash on a highway.

He has already spent years picking up trash all over the country.

Hey settle down. Stormy Daniels is my hero.

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure they meant the “repeat it, don’t think about it” maga crowd.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

House arrest without internet, telephone, television, constant visitors: that would work.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Better yet. House arrest with no internet, but with Rudy giuliani. Both of them in a location neither of them owns limited to each other's company and the tv. Put cameras all around the place. And let the American public watch it. That would be the best way to make them pay for all they've done.

Add in Rodger Stone and a few other trump felons and we could advertise it as a new season of the real world. Find out what happens when felons stop acting nice and start acting real!

Bunch of nutjobs squabbling over limited honey bun resources, I'm in.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

One year per count and no electronic communications allowed? A violation adds one more year to the sentence automatically.

That yellow is gonna White really shiny real quick.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How many years left do you think he has? A year per violation is already more years than he has left. So, a year per violation just means more years he'd never serve.

Instead, a violation should mean something like a week in jail with no delays--straight to jail. That would actually have a meaningful impact on him.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago

Ok but could this then apply to me? I want to have millions, billions if possible and then go to jail for a year at a golf club facility. Oops I dropped the soap! You only need to worry about golf clubs or balls going in there you know what I mean? And a week if I'm bad. Like if I loose it at the 19th hole, I could just go to the one finger clapping a holes and break their fingers. For a week.

[–] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

let's be honest, he is beyond rehabilitation.

[–] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Let's be honest, he could die in jail.

[–] A_Very_Big_Fan@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

At very least he should be doing community service. Maybe picking trash on a highway.

I would do unspeakable things to see this happen

As much as I yearn for an embolism to bless the present day: no.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It won't work though. Remember how he asked for mass gatherings at his trial and it didn't happen?

January 6th required a huge number of Trump rallygoers from all over the country to mass in one place, for them to get fired up to commit violence by multiple speakers, for Trump himself to say that he personally was going to go with them to the Capitol, and for Trump to do virtually nothing about the insurrection for hours.

There might be lone wolf attacks here and there, but there won't be some great MAGA uprising.

[–] Bernie_Sandals@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

There might be lone wolf attacks here and there, but there won't be some great MAGA uprising.

Even that could turn scary though. One lone wolf attack could inspire more and those inspire even more, eventually leading us to an American Years of Lead

The Trump base has shown us how insane they are before, I don't want to underestimate what they'll do next.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Maybe, but don't underestimate good old American laziness.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Stand for it?! He’s delusional. Most of “the public” wouldn’t only stand for it, they’d wait in line to buy tickets to see him escorted to prison. They’d but t-shirts.
