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.
The only morons who will give a shit about this damn reflecting pool are the MAGA dumbfucks. Use it as a urinal until the regime changes.
The best proof that the gash doesn't exist is that they haven't plastered pictures of it everywhere, and seem to have actually put black fabric over the fencing to block everyone's view of the empty pool.
Fake news - the tires of the motorcade were part of an Antifa sleeper cell.
Who cares about the pool, it's a distraction of the most obvious kind.
What I'm wondering now is whether the USA can recover from this utter disconnection of the executive from truth and reality.
There is now a undeniable precedent of just lying continuously while in office, to essentially no consequence.
This sets a new floor for what you can do while in power. How this doesn't break US American politics durably, I don't know.
There isn't much about this administration that could be less newsworthy than the shitty renovations to the fucking pool. Why the fuck is anyone interested in this
Because it shows very plainly the absolute incompetence of this government, not only for this project, but as a whole. I mean renovating the pool shouldn't really be that difficult, should it? Just get a reputable company to do the job, and that's it. But the government can't even do that.
He doesn't care about that, only that you're focussed on this, not his failures & grifting.
You can focus on a lot more than one thing. People like to point and laugh about this.
True, but given what he has done & is continuing to do, is it really ok to laugh about?! I get that it can feel like there's not anything else to do, but sometimes you've got to check yourself. Laugh at something else, not him.
They're not, it's a distraction from the Epstein files & Iran. The media is bought & paid for.
FAKE NEWS! But I have a great idea here, maybe it is the best one folks, just fill the whole pool up with beautiful, highly reflective mercury. Or, as they call it, quicksilver. You know what quicksilver is? They used to have it in thermometers before they made them woke... And and I also hear that the algae don't like being in it very much! Just like looser liberals with box cutters. But if they want to reform, and I told JD about this already, we can do patriot baptisms in there as well! It's going to be great! The only thing that would be greater is if we filled it up with liquid gold, but we can't afford that now. Not after what OBAMA did. So the silver will have to do.
Remember when we used to elect people who were fit for the office of president?
Idk, while yes trump is delusional, I can think of a lot more unfit politicians for high office than fit ones.
Is my browser just blocking it or is this yet another article that doesn't actually show any thing that they are talking about?
They have Twitter embedded links rather than just posting the photos directly. So tired of this.
Near the bottom, there's pictures from the post the article is describing. Also a lot of (blank for me) ad spaces to get you to see ads before the content you're looking for.
Nothing there. Interesting.
You’re probably (rightfully) blocking twitter. It’s basically showing this twitter post.
Thanks and yes that makes sense.
must be on your end, shows content as expected for me
I guess so it's not there for me.
What a comedy of errors. You couldn't make this shit up.
Oh come on! Stop it! This will put The Onion and all other satirical sources out of business.
Info Wars is the new source to follow
Is it finally from the Onion now? I keep hearing it is, then to hear it isn't.
Yeah they've been putting out videos on the infowars YouTube page.
In case you hadn't heard, Alex Jones popped like a balloon in his car. Seems like other news outlets are afraid to report on it...
Yeah makes sense. His fat red frustrated head has been on the brink of popping for a while now.
It's weird how Richard Linklater either makes movies that I love (like Slacker and Dazed and Confused) or movies that make me want to find him and hit him in the head with a brick. Waking Life was probably his worst movie ever (only Blue Moon is a contender) and it's just bonus points that it also happened to introduce the world to Alex Jones.
They are operating under a "realinfowars" brand across some of the major socials.
More effort has gone to an investigation into Trump being embarrassed than Trump raping children. Never forget who sits in the white house or who continues to make that possible. They use the law for self interest, not to build us a better world.
MSMS, its by design, they are all owned by epstein likely related ceos, and that last thing they want is reporting epstein files. they quickly quashed all news negative of trump(report it for a few days, then vanish). ELLison, murdoch, they learned thier lesson when reporting on luigi, Mandamni , and the ice raids , give it too much attention, everyone will be instantly aware, instead its flood the network with nonsense(trumps gaffes, this also includes iran wars of distraction)
Are the Epstein Files in the pool? No? Then I don't care about the pool.
as soon jean e carroll recieved 5 million judgement from trump, he does something drastic in the news.(such as the 20% hormuz toll he since rescinded), plus the convenient news of mitch and mcconnels and lindseys death and health.
