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.

A lot of people are saying he’s a weird guy 🤷♂️
Some of the best people
He’s just so goddamn weird
His hair is so fucking weird— but not as weird as his weird makeup
Let's not forget the bizarre ass fake power-move way he shakes hands
Yes and also his patented weird jerking-off two men at the same time “dance”
And almost exclusively to 🎵YMCA🎵 So weird.
This whole "Trump is weird 'attack'" is so milquetoast. Austin is weird. The Guardians of the Galaxy are weird. Weird Al Yankovic is weird. Donald Trump isn't weird. He's a dangerous criminal being manipulated by the Russians. This is not the time to be silly.
I get it. It's one of the most innocuous "attacks" you could make against someone, but it also seems like stuff that other people would find harmless is what really gets under his skin. Like, call him a fascist, a criminal, manipulated by the Russians (all of which are true) and he just makes that stupid, constipated grin and his base eats it up.
Talk about how weirdly tiny his hands are, though, and he'll make sure to run into you personally on the street, once a week, for the rest of his sad life, to show you that, actually, his hands are perfectly normal. Larger than average, even. His ego can't handle being considered strange or abnormal in any way.
So the idea is the "does she look tired to you" (credit to Doctor Who) attack. Something quiet, innocuous, maybe even whispered to someone else, that is almost guaranteed to make him rip out his hair plugs. Can't effectively parrot Russian propaganda if you're having a meltdown about people calling you weird. Maybe it'll be the thing that finally short-circuits his hateful black heart.
His ego can't handle being considered strange or abnormal in any way.
below average, or less-than normal, but he's completely fine being "the best" and "the greatest" in literally everything he talks about.
It means ‘yeah I probably should for optics, but ionwanna.’
Weird thing to report on.
This Master Debater can't even win an argument with himself
He’s no cunning linguist, either
He’s a jerkoff.
He can't even be consistent on the great electric boat execution or shark debate.
Brave Sir Donald
His head smashed in
And his heart cut out
And his liver removed
And his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped
And his bottom burnt off
And his Toad...
Sounds like he had dinner with the late, great Hannibal Lecter!
Nonsense, a refined gentleman like Hannibal Lecter would never sully his taste buds with such poor quality product!
The case for not: he’s a bitch
Felons rarely enjoy facing AGs
Donald Trump says he will 'probably' shit his diapers today, but ‘can also make a case for not’.
I want to debate because i like to call people names and be the center of attention, but i don't want to because she's an actual human and it will be obvious that I'm a giant gooey turd.
The case for not doing it: he’ll look like a fool.
Lol, too late for that.
Not for the undecided voters it isn't.
Now you could argue about the sanity, intellect or ignorance (not to mention, greed, fear, ego, etc.) of anyone who still can't choose between the two parties, but the whole thing could hinge on those people.
Don's hoping for the perfect cross-section of topics and debating techniques to come up where he's sure he will make Kamala look the bigger fool.
Keep being on the fence, indecisiveness actually makes a leader look rather weak.
Run Donny Run!

Fuckin weirdo
Coward
Does his case for not debating her have anything to do with him pissing his pants?
Nope. His diaper was still fresh.
Squirm
He looks so old, why is he even running.
Probably means no.
