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.

Republicans think saying "We need to stop Trump" is inciting political violence, but think this guy saying shit like this is A-Ok.

Reminder to all the MAGA morons out there: Trump's coup only got as far as it did in 2021 because he was in charge and did nothing to stop it. If Biden is the one in control of handing over the reins, you can bet your ass he'll curbstomp insurrectionists. You'd be better off staying home for this "civil war" wet dream.

The most amazing thing about J6 is that they were all allowed to just go home.

I still think the NG and DC Police should have surrounded the building and said "you have 5 minutes to come out and lay down, then we're going to come in and take you out."

And then no one leaves until they are ID'd. None of this "4 years of trying to find these fucks."

It would be the 2nd time in U.S. history where the other side lost and the ones still standing just...went home...🙄

[–] Bertuccio@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, where were those guys on J6 anyway?

It's like most of them didn't even show up to work for some reason.

[–] jorp@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

you're letting the pigs off the hook, do you think Biden or Trump would have had to say anything if the protestors were BLM protestors storming the capitol?

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah they would have.

Trump only allowed it to happen because of who was protesting/rioting.

Any other president or any other protesting group would have had their asses handed to them.

If maga tries this shit again, it’s going to get real lively. Btw I have my popcorn ready

[–] jorp@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

My point is the police would have taken care of it without any input if the protestors were not far right.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Indeed, they still think of the J6 rioters as "Political prisoners" fools all of them

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Doesn't matter if you fly a Trump flag or a BLM flag, if you storm the capitol to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power, you're an insurrectionist.

It's not complicated.
