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.

Hillary Clinton has told Congress she had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein's or Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal activities while giving testimony as part of a congressional probe into the convicted sex offender.

"I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr Epstein," Hillary Clinton said in an opening statement she posted on social media.

She also called on politicians to question US President Donald Trump about Epstein while under oath.

"If this Committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein's trafficking crimes, it would not rely on press gaggles to get answers from our current president on his involvement; it would ask him directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files," she wrote.

You’re right, we should just let him do whatever he wants. It’s over, we don’t need to catch him lying in front of the world, under oath, on the record, live on CNN. Let’s not even try, what’s the point? He’s just gonna shoot more people on 5th Avenue. He already said he can do whatever he wants and since the stock market is up to 50,000 I guess that means we HAVE to let him, we shouldn’t try to expose his lies and guilt to people who might not be as politically autistic as Lemmy users.

What are you, Chuck Schumer’s lemmyworld account?

He lies on camera daily. What has that done? What will once more do? Oh, he had to pinky promise it's true this time. Congress are the ones that are supposed to do something about all this and they won't. Can't be bothered. I'm not personally letting him do anything. I didn't vote for him. I've never voted for him. The people I did vote for aren't doing anything. I know that the Internet's response to that is that you have to take matters into your own hands, but let's actually be serious. Say he lies under oath. Then what? He gets impeached again? Investigate Congress because that's why he can do whatever he wants. But that will never happen because they are all in the files that didn't get released.
