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.

dint karoline leavitt mentioned there will be something along the lines of shooting later on. then there were like 2 other incidents of assasinations, and almost no news coverage more than a few days, at least not an indepth one. and everyone trumps like to use distractions for the epstein files, this would be one of them. plus he created another mess that was suppose to be a distraction, how badly the "epstein fury" is going on with iran that they arnt even uploading satellite images of thier bases.

Kind of crazy how someone can even get so close with a weapon. Like these arent secrets agents. Soo its fake or security is way more lax then in movies and TV.

The Grim Reaper has terrible aim.

He's just teasing us now lol

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

If he's safe why haven't we seen him raise a fist and take a photo op?

Replays of the scene show the secret service having to lift him up and drag him out.

Fingers crossed.

Edit: pure theater

Lol Vance was remove from the stage before trump.

Nothing strange.

As much as I'm wishing for it, you can see him talking to the person next to him well after the shots go off. It looks like he just trips and falls on his face as he gets out of the chair.

[–] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Trump safe

That's unfortunate.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh no, I was worried I might feel hope for a moment

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’m imagining an Obama-style poster now.

[–] Hello_there@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

Oh my gosh. I'm picturing it. If it was caught on camera. And everything was the same as the Fairey poster, just with a different picture. Fox news would be so mad. Would be delicious.

Least cowardly American

Or false flag

Who knows

[–] Naich@piefed.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Can't any of you fuckers shoot straight?

[–] DiarrheaSommelier@lemmy.ca 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

You would think a country that worships firearms would have some half-decent marksmen. Fuckin' casual LARPers.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

remember that 2nd amendment? where they said to take down a tyranical government.

[–] DiarrheaSommelier@lemmy.ca 4 points 19 hours ago

Nah, that's just so that Bubba can have a hobby that makes him feel like a big strong man instead of a little boy whose dad left him because he's too weak and small.
