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.

Some pigs are more equal than others
Four legs good.
Two legs better.
One foot in the grave.
If Americans were allowed books, they'd be really angry about this.
🎶 O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave 🎶 O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
It’s all about the pledge to the fascists.
trump. lawsuits distract me from being president so I can't pay them. also trump. its fine that I sue the government I run for monies because it totally does not distract me.
and run all these businesses
Smith told the 2nd Circuit that Trump “will suffer irreparable harm” if he must pay Carroll now because she has said publicly that she plans to give the award away, meaning the president would not be able to recover the money if the high court reverses the verdict.
Smith said there was a “reasonable probability” that the Supreme Court will take up an appeal in part based on Trump’s insistence that he has absolute immunity from a lawsuit stemming from statements he made while he was president.
Just a bonkers legal system we have.
They can say that but of course he might die. So if he doesn't pay before he dies then she might not be able to collect. So I don't think they have much of a case here.
Wouldn't his estate have to pay?
He is planning on giving it all away to charity
Well he can claim that certainly, but that's not how Estates work. Bequeaths come after debts.
He still hasn't paid that? WTF? There is no enforcement for anything anymore? Hey everyone...grab your looting bags...it's on!!
Oh he won't ever pay what he owes. Cops like him and he's going to fight anything tooth and nail claiming he's being politically persecuted
Well, Chewbacca was a wookie from Endor, but there are no wookies on Endor, so obviously the judgment must be thrown out
Oh fuck. It’s Johnnie Cochran! I agree, this does not. Make. Sense!
Not the Chewbacca Defense!!!
She should have the sheriff show up at Mar-A-Lago and put locks on the door. That's what they do for non-billionaires. No one is above the law forever.
... Hoping for an eventual Supreme Court victory ...
Trump's version of praying?
