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.

Trump will literally just believe whoever the last person that talks to him is.

If you could surround them with the right people you could steer them anywhere.

I believe this is exactly why the gerontocracy exists. Old people are easier for lobbyists to trick.

I'm going through the reciepts of this interview rn. Its absolutely wild how like.. in love Trump is with Mamdani.

Like this is *w *i *l *d. The media trying to do all these gotchas on Mamdani and Trump the one coming to his defense.

Ya know, for how buck wild the past decade has been, it's about damn time something unfathomable but seemingly positive/hopeful happened.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Hopefully Trump had another stroke, and Mamdani isn't the kind of horrible person that Trump fawns over.

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

i think mamdani just knows this whole game a lot better than he let on, dudes playing trump and everyone else like a fiddle

Before my grandmother passed away, she had really bad Alzheimer’s and she would always have the same emotions as the last person she was with if someone was in a good mood, she was in a good mood if someone was in a negative mood, she would be in a negative mood. I can see the same thing happening with Donnie right now.

i know we've all probably said this hundreds of times now...but if this doesn't jolt MAGA to their senses nothing will.

trump raving about mamdani being some communist one second, then a good guy the next...

Exactly. The moment Mamdani left the Oval Office, PeeWee Himmler Wormtongue whispered into Trump's ear "That Muslim Commie really sucks, doesn't he?" and Trump will say "Yes, he really sucks, he's a very, very bad man." And life will go back to normal in MAGALand.
