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.

"Mr. Trump, please look at Exhibit F. Are those your signatures on those receipts?"

"I'm Eric!"

"I ask you again, Mr. Trump: Are those your signatures on those receipts?"

"I'm Eric!"

Eric Trump said: “I pour concrete."

I really, really doubt that.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

That's what he calls going to the potty.

The article stating the DA's political affiliation like it has any relevance whatsoever just dissolves any credibility they may have had.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

Actually, it is a bit relevant in NY, because the AG is an elected position in NY. So she actively campaigned and was voted in as a Democrat. It shouldn't affect how she conducts cases, of course, but I don't think the article implied that it did.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

AP is about as unbiased and professional as you can get in journalism these days. Like someone below pointed out, it's relevant because she's elected and it's relevant because Trump is making it a big deal, which makes it relevant to the story

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

it's relevant because Trump is making it a big deal

Trump does not control what is and is not the law. If Trump went on a rant about the DA's favorite snack crackers, would that make it relevant? He does not deserve to control the narrative. Don't entertain his bullshit.

I didn't write the article

Eric looks like an inbred 17th century prince

[–] 18_24_61_b_17_17_4@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

His butthole-lips freak me out.

I love how three out of the four of them (everyone forgets about Tiffany, I almost did) have to testify against him. This is going to be beautiful.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It will be wonderful for sure.

Which brand of popcorn 🍿 is everyone eating?

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

If you really want to have fun, you can turn it into a drinking game where you take a shot every time they take the fifth. For reference, they have already been deposed for this case, and in their depositions, they apparently took the fifth hundreds of times.

The one nice thing about this is that, in a civil case, the fact that a person invokes the fifth amendment can actually be used against them, unlike in a criminal case.

I think I'll skip this one as I'd rather not, you know, die.

[–] gregorum@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

If we did that, we’d all be dead.

[–] TheaoneAndOnly27@kbin.social 8 points 2 years ago

Costco's microwave popcorn is so delicious. I highly recommend it. I seriously think it might just be Orville redenbacher rebranded

[–] s3rvant@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Bought this popper a few months back and have been loving it:

1 butter patty per 1/4 cup kernels up to 3/4 cups per batch to fill the entire bowl and then salt / flavor to taste

Who will hold back the tears the longest? Don Jr or Eric?

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

Eric reminds me of PFC Downey from A Few Good Men. "I don't understand, what did we do wrong? We did nothing wrong!"

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

This is a civil case, so pleading the 5th is often seen as withholding evidence.

I’d say we should take a shot every time he says “I don’t recall,” but people might need a liver transplant after an hour.

This seems like a speedrun to alcoholism, don't do it!

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

This will be quite a showdown.

Perjury? I never touched her!

Did they become beard twins?

They learned it from their Uncle, Real Human Being Ted Cruz
