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.

"Yea well... my dad would've whopped all their asses but they didn't fight fair!"

What the literal fuck is he on about? Donald Trump is expected to stand up to foreign leaders but pussies out in front of a fucking jury?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

It’s not a crime to lie to foreign dignitaries.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Foreign leaders famously fight fair.

The jury haven't even made a ruling yet.... All they've done is listen.....

"You are going into a kangaroo court. There's nothing more. Nothing less. There'd be absolutely no reason, no justification to do that whatsoever." - Donald Trump Jr.

Not even an excuse? , if the jury only has one side of the story that is what they are going with.

If you aren't even going to put your fists up and spend all your time arguing with the referee, you can't complain when you get KO'ed

He would have testified if it wasn’t for that meddling jury of his peers.

Somebody tell this clown to shut up.

You gotta buck up, man, you cannot drag this negative energy into the tournament

Donny, you’re out of your element.

I don't give a single shit what this festering cunt cabbage has to say. He was born from shit, made of shit, and big surprise, he's still full of shit.

[–] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why would you justify this insanity? Look at the clowns that they put on there — you don't subject yourself to that nonsense," he said, evidently speaking of the jury.

Both sides had ample opportunity to vet potential jurors. Your side is just as responsible for its makeup as anybody.

[–] Delusional@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Yeah but the idiotic republican voters won't ever know that and even if they were told that, they wouldn't believe it.

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Just crybabies whining that they didn't get infinite vetoes and delays.

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Legally, the jury cannot interpret Trump's refusal to testify as evidence of wrongdoing, as that would violate his constitutional right against self incrimination.

...but I can! And you know what my hot take is? Not testifying in your own defense and then crying about it afterwards is a pussy ass bitch move and the hallmark of a guilty liar.

Don Jr. calls jurors 'clowns'

Pot/kettle, Jr.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 2 years ago

Because endearing yourself to the people who will decide your father's fate is just courtroom 101.

Brain rot from all the blow. He'll be out here looking like Artie Lange.
