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 keep quoting this bit from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in the hopes that it will happen to Trump. It hasn't happened yet, but if we're lucky tonight...
Why are you wishing death on someone?
Yes, I am wishing that Donald Trump's intestine ends up throttling his brain like in a comedic science fiction novel.
On a same level of things that are possible, I am also wishing I held the world speed record for the 100 meter hurdles.
Oh so we can wish death on people and as along as we're not capable of making it happen it's okay?
Sorry... you're asking if it's okay to wish someone die in a way that is literally impossible? Sure, why not. Go for it.
Seeing as I can't actually make it happen and it's not going to happen because I wished for it, that means its okay with you for me to wish for your death?
Let's maybe focus instead of not wishing death on people? How about I wish Trump was in jail for his crimes and wasn't able to compete in the race.
You are welcome to wish that my large intestine becomes sentient, makes its way through my body up to my brain and then starves it of oxygen for the betterment of humanity.
Why do you think I would care about that even a little?
Careful dude. The small intestine is weak and dumb. But that large one? It's sneaky. Just been biding it's time until it strikes. You open that window and you might not be able to close it.
Why do you care more about Donald Trump than all the people who've died as a direct result of both his policies and his rhetoric?
Clutch those pearls harder, daddy.
Yes.
Stop concern trolling. The ridiculous nature of the "threat" makes it obvious they're being completely unserious.
I used to be principled like you, but this man has the potential to cause death and destruction on a scale so unfathomably larger than one person. Would I prefer he face justice? Absolutely. But at some point "not wishing death on someone" flies in the face of the greater good of humanity
Because he deserves it?
