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.

I don't understand how anyone reasonable would think it's somehow good that he "stands by his words". He's essentially confirming he's a bigot, racist, and general waste of oxygen. Hopefully the "free market" can figure out what he does for a living and make his life suffer as much as he wants others to suffer.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You should see his voters, then you'll understand.

[–] Rusticus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I guess I should have put the word "reasonable" in all caps for emphasis.

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

It is a little refreshing compared to blanket denial and insisting the "true" racists are the people who call him out. Or crocodile tears and insisting "that's not who I am".

But yea, still not good.

[–] blazera@kbin.social 46 points 2 years ago (1 children)

oh wow a racist republican

[–] speck@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They only do it for the alliteration

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

So that's why they're conservative

[–] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh I'm sure many Black folk would be interested in visiting their ancestral homelands, but they have a hard time finding them for some reason. I WONDER WHY THAT MIGHT BE.

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

The ridiculous thing is, Africa is doing way better now, I would like to visit myself one day.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 29 points 2 years ago

At least he stepped down. Most of them cling to their power. See: Clarence Thomas

I've got a better idea: Let's have all the white people move to Narnia.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Oo! I want to live in Narnia! I want a talking badger friend! I'll take that offer!

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

Talking badger my ass it's probably Milhouse

[–] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

All the Turkish Delight I can eat? Sign me up!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not a bad deal... on the other hand, all the Turkish Delish I can eat is like three pieces.

[–] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

Yes in retrospect the Turkish Delight Diet never really got off the ground for a reason.

And that reason was Type 2 Diabetes.

[–] milkjug@lemmy.wildfyre.dev 1 points 2 years ago

My conspiracy theory is that no Turks would ever knowingly consume Turkish delights, it’s simply a deep state ploy to fatten up the rest of the world for harvesting in the future.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

I would better go to Wakanda - it is the most technologically advanced nation on the planet. Narnia is just some Christian crazy world.

[–] ElleChaise@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Narnia sounds cold, does wakanda need a token by chance?

[–] Eggscellent@kbin.social 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So he's been dealing with way too many black people...in North Dakota?

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Everybody knows Larry and Shalonda…

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

These people are proud to be racist. Quit giving them the screen time.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 years ago

Dude had only been on twitter for like a year and a half. I wonder how long he had been on truth social before bringing his trash to twitter?

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.one 9 points 2 years ago

So he stands by his ignorance?

[–] iHUNTcriminals@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Lol - His soul should stand by his body and he can watch it fade into hell where it belongs.

The wolves can take what's left.

[–] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I bet he thinks he's an Alpha wolf too, without realizing no such thing exists.

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago

and he needs to get the fuck out of the Home of the Free and go live in 1930s Nazi Germany with the other cowards like him

[–] Tathas@programming.dev -1 points 2 years ago

So he's pro immigration?

[–] weeabooextract@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago

Wakanda nutz are deeze?
