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.

A lot of people still think the mcdonalds hot covfefe lawsuit was bullshit. The first to speak wins, even if it's a lie disproven later.

No, he hasn't lost his mind. This is what MAGA wants. They want revolts. They want a civil war. We'll, they are just about to get one over this.

You mean like how what China really wanted during the Tiannamen Square massacre was revolts and civil war?

The neoconfederates are already at the federal level, toppling the US constitution from the Executive and the Supreme branches of government, and two out of three is all that's needed to subvert the last and weakest regardless of midterms, assuming they go to plan. Meanwhile people like you are thinking you are going to win by not fighting.

The Trump administration doesn't need to manufacture excuses, they make them up on the spot or wait for people to post-rationalize them - look at the Venezuelan invasion. What the administration is prodding for is the nail that sticks out so they can hammer it before it becomes a spiked club to get stricken by. The real problem isn't revolts or fighting back against an unconstitutional federal government, the real problem is when they are singular and isolated due to attitudes that suppress them, and those attitudes are coming from both sides.

The original US colonies reformed time and time again. The solidification into the indoctrination of an indivisible global power into the American psyche is an extension of the same sort of Manifest Destiny / Monroe Doctrine the US continues to extend today that serves the international corporations solidified into existence by the same Civil War.

If you want to remain a single country, don't expect the rest of the world to ever treat a nation the same again that on the flip of an administration burned all the bridges it took decades to build up through international cooperation and governance, at the very least not without the same sort of introspection Germany had to go through - something inconceivable to the American patriotic mindset. However, Nazi Germany needed to be defeated first. For Germany, was it better that there had to exist enough opposition to beat and subvert Nazi Germany, or would it have been better if the Nazi had been beaten internally by Germans themselves? The same is not going to happen for the US.

He doesn’t believe any of this shit, but he thinks his base is dumb enough to believe him; and he’s right about that.
