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'm nervous. What if he IS ok?

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe it will be so upsetting his ticker will finally give out. Stay hopeful.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I'm a little tired but it's never too late for all night celebrations. Fingers crossed.

[–] DiarrheaSommelier@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Dang, that would suuuuuuck.

[–] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 10 points 1 day ago

I'm just sitting here praying for the best. 🙏

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 69 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sounds like an easy way to get out of going to a dinner where he was going to get roasted.

Sounds like different kinds of shots were being fired, then...

[–] breezeblock@lemmy.ca 59 points 1 day ago (11 children)

Guy deserves to die choking on a cheeseburger. Not martyred.

[–] inari@piefed.zip 31 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I'm trying to think of a dumber way for him to croak but I think cheeseburger choking might be the best, most perfect one

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 1 points 13 hours ago

My vote would be for him to fall down airplane stairs like Biden, only down instead of up.

[–] bruhbeans@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

W Bush almost went out on a pretzel

[–] nullify3112@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I had completely forgotten about the pretzelgate

[–] Leather@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

while on the toilet

Yes, but we deserve to just have him gone.

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only if it's after at least a few years of solitary imprisonment for his many misdeeds.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I'm hoping for locked in syndrome.

Let him experience a narcissist's hell in case there isn't a real one.

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Looked it up, and it reminds me of I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream in the worst possible way.

It's not just a narcissist's hell, it's anyone's hell.

[–] DiarrheaSommelier@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

My vote goes to "straining at stool". It's more on brand.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

He deserves to die embarrassingly and painfully, whatever the cause

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

He'll be utterly forgotten other than as a slur.

They thought Kirk would be martyred. Utterly forgotten.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

He'll die on the shitter like Elvis. Befitting a king.

[–] magnue@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

On the toilet watching CP

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 8 points 1 day ago

Tripping and falling down some stairs on live TV is my hope.

Just a thought does the white house take deliveries? Maybe there could be a go fund me page for Trump's favorite burger with more cheese and bacon

[–] Zier@fedia.io 5 points 1 day ago

I was hoping he would drop dead on live tv. Is he sleeping or dead??

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

I will accept any form of him dying as beautiful and worthy of celebration, as long as some pain is involved. The more, the better.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible...

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

He was? They didn't stop in the wide open to take a photo? That's odd.

Wolf also said he saw the gunman with "a very scary looking gun"

And there were "scary terrifying gunshot sounds"

And that he saw the shooter but when asked to describe the shooter said he didn't see the shooter and couldn't describe the shooter.

950 they asked wolf again if he saw the gun. Wolf started speaking about random shit and kept cutting off the questions.

Yep.

Theater.

Wolf Blitzer couldn't accurately describe his own dick

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I'd been thinking this might happen all day after hearing about boycotts regarding the dinner.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 10 points 1 day ago

I initially read the headline as "Trump Rushed Out of Dinner Amid Reports of Sharts Fired" and thought it was The Onion.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

What's happening in this video? It sounds like gunfire at the very beginning but Trump doesn't hear it?

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

People his age are known for being mostly deaf and unaware of things happening around them.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago

The us has not been so shaken by such a horrible news story since July 13, 2024. Stay strong my fellow citizens.
