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.

Sure glad we didn't elect Kamala.

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, not voting really helped keep the baddies out of the White House!

The important thing in this election is that we owned the libs and taught those Democrats a lesson they won't forget!

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Yep. And I'm going to keep saying it and just ignore the people that do their nonsense WELLAXETUALLYYYY.... stuff, because if they think for one second that them sticking with their bullshit after the election is going to do sweetfuckall I'm going to tell them just where to stick it when they are lecturing about what the Democrats should have done, or what they should do (in the future elections we probably won't have), or how pointing out how damaging their actions were is "unhelpful", etc...

They haven't learned a fucking thing yet.

"THIS IS NOT WAR. THIS IS PEST CONTROL!" -- ~~Dalek Supreme~~ Donald J. Trump

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That seems like a super un-Dalek-like thing to say

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Might have misattributed the quote, but this was definitely something that the Cult of Skaro said to Cybermen during either the 9th or 10th Doctor runs.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Anyone who actually bought into the notion that donvict is "antiwar" is deeply stupid.

People were telling me that in his first term while he was drone bombing people.

Many, many Americans are deeply stupid.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it really war when you can just steamroll right over the people and kill them all?

[–] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

More like genocide.

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 year ago

Trump was never anti-war and anyone who thought so is fucking dumb. Done mincing words.

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All that for just 40km of coastline access, so couple of filthy old dudes can get even richer.

[–] JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

This is just the start, and will likely involve the West bank next. After that, it's likely that Israel will attempt expanding into its neighbors.

And it's not just to get some old dudes even richer - it's also to further crush the ability of the middle east to rebel or obtain meaningful autonomy.

[–] NOT_RICK_SANCHEZ@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where is that independent clown Claudia championing her compassion for the poor treatment of Palestinians when we need her.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Gone for 4 years like Jill Stein.

Who could have predicted this?!

[–] Demognomicon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Trump wants Canada to be the "51st" state, the Panama Canal, and Greenland. That so called day 1 end the Russian/Ukraine war? He will extend military aid if Ukraine supplies rare metals. Plus his actions are quickly leading to the next American civil war. How is this "antiwar"?

[–] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It’s all bullshit like the tariffs with Mexico and Canada. He’ll talk about America annexing Gaza while everyone gets outraged, then “do a deal” with Netanyahu where Israel takes over, maybe with a side deal with another country to assist. Saudi Arabia, probably. Less forced relocation than before, etc.

The thing they planned on doing anyway will look better than Trump’s idiotic, headline-grabbing fake idea. And the press, Dems, and general public will continue to fall for this trick every single time for the next 4 years.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Agreed. I would not be surprised if this is to create cover for what fElon and his douchebro minions are doing when it comes to gutting our government.

Saw a LOT of coverage of this unhinged statement about Gaza; not as much about the protests or what fElon is doing.

[–] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe. Where I originally thought you were going is the firehose of falsehoods used to cover up Elon’s coup.

[–] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that’s certainly a part of it too. It’s a giant, bullshit circus spinning around Trump.

There’s also a possibility that it’s a shock and awe campaign to get people scared enough to accept new “stability” laws that restore “law and order.”

[–] TylerDurdenJunior@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When you state wild shit. Less wild shit seems less wild.

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If you fling enough shit at the wall some of it will stick. Guy is proper unhinged.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

Ethnic cleansing is a lesser war crime than genocide. We already know he supports the ongoing genocide.
