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.
Somebody is going to have to die in order for nothing to continue happening.
"For a moment, nothing happened. Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen." -Douglas Adams
I love Douglas Adams, I literally just posted another of his quotes in this thread lol
Bold of you to assume any death would prompt action.

Did you read all the words?
I did now and I realize I’m an ass.
I love you.
I'm a bystander but I had to re-read it a few times and didn't get it either ... think my brain filled in the gaps instead of reading it properly
To paraphrase all the words "Only country where this keeps happening, changes nothing, surprised that it keeps happening"
in Italy, for mafia trials, special protections for judges where put in place. Please USA, look at these examples.
If this happens one or two hundred more times there might be maybe serious sort of consequences!
But one death threat towards Trump and you got the mercaroids kicking in your bathroom door.
I don't know why Trump is getting special treatment
I know at least a couple million, but probably not a billion reasons why
(But not really)
If it was literally anyone else, they would be in jail and only allowed outside contact through their lawyers
and only allowed outside contact through their lawyers
if at all...
Lock. Him. Up.
after Donald Trump targeted them on social media.
...while, as a former president, being protected by the Secret Service at taxpayer expense.
That just ain't right.
Someone needs to just make trump "dissappear" already
He is a threat to human rights and equality
I've often wondered why it seems only the progressive people working to make society better for all get assassinated.
Because the chances of someone who disagrees with progressives being a murderous lunatic is much higher than someone who agrees with progressives being a murderous lunatic.
It's as if saying "will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest" is a time-tested means of getting meddlesome priests murdered, and somehow it's still effectively legal for the Trumps of the world to incite that kind of violence. It's also as if America's justice system plain doesn't want to hold wealthy or powerful people accountable
This man inspires the wrong people.
It's not just him. It's the whole right of the spectrum right now. Here in Canada the head of the opposition in parliament tweeted a wanted sign on two senators. One of them in Cornwall, Ontario. This is growingly a radical element of shitheads that are ruining the world for the large majority.

This man should not be in a position to inspire anyone.
One of my favorite quotes:
"The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
Gotta cite it -- Douglas Adams. (Didn't have to even look it up, it's one of my favorites too)
If they come to his house with rifles, the judge will seriously consider checking that their safetys are on.
"alright now I'm gonna turn around and count to ten, and when I turn back around you boys better have those safeties on or I'll be really upset with all of you"
And I’ll bet he couldn’t be happier about it. That fucker needs to be launched into the sun.
I would say that something slower and more painful is in order, but he's old, and frankly, expediency benefits us all at this point.
Not really doing his Jan 6th case any favors here either.
The only surprise is that it took this long.
Lock him up.
If we were to drown Trump in a vat of his own diapers, it would make the world a better, saner place.
Barring that, I'd settle for him dying in prison.
People are very eager to throw their lives into the volcano for him. My only question is why do people want to do this for a reality TV personality and a man who looks like a chimney sweep at the nacho factory?
