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.

Can we get back to the trumpstein files please.
Who fucking care about 15 million pool.
War, genocide, allied war crimes, cabal of billionaire pedophiles.
Piss in the pool.
The pool is news because it is a very understandable and approachable subject. Most people believe they could handle a pool, and if it turns out trump can't even manage a pool (with all the power of the government at his disposal), then some of the MAGAs finally start thinking that trump may not be Presidential material.
You think at this point that these people can think rationally?
Yeah, these people are fighting an epic battle of good and evil and logic is aligned with the evil forces.
Talking to some of them, there seems to be a belief that even if everything looks like it's going horribly wrong, then that must be a sign too that the plan is coming together differently than they thought...
It's really fatalistic and tied up in the prosperity gospel/American mythos/calvanism. This can be a real shorthand for "everything is how it's supposed to be because God controls the minutia of our lives so how about a thank you." It's how they whip the rank and file voters.
The irony is that
No, the MAGAs are saying that it was antifa who dumped algae and chemicals in the pool to make Trump look bad
