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.

Colorado Police last Thursday arrested Hunter Rivera, the 24-year-old now-former chairman of the Weld County Republican Party, for allegedly trying to arrange a sexual encounter with a child. Rivera resigned immediately following his arrest.

Does Hunter Rivera look like he has fetal alcohol syndrome? Maybe it's a bad mug shot?

Hard to tell with the mustache. Eyes look like it. Flat mid-face might just be fat mid-face.

Although funny in this specific case, FAS doesn’t automatically make a person dumb or a child molester.

That’s usually exclusive to religious people and conservatives.

Unfortunately, no.

Yeah we like to think that because it permits to say that the problem lies with others, while the whole society is touched by this problem. Most people on the Epstein list aren't religious or conservative, and in my very secular and quite progressive country, France, we still have a lot of pedophiles. Last scandal was in public schools of Paris, and it's not a haven for conservatives or religious people, quite the opposite.

To repeat it won't make it true.

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

For every 1 socialist you name who has molested a child, I’ll give you 9 conservatives who have.

You begin…

[–] zloubida@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

You'd have no problem to do that indeed, but it's because there's far more than 9 conservatives for 1 socialist in America today.

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 2 points 8 hours ago

America? You can include the whole world. Go for it. I’m… waiting…

I agree with you, FAS doesn't make anyone a child molester. His whole face just seemed off to me.

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Well yes, his whole face does seem off. Perhaps he got dropped on his face as a baby.

Not nearly hard enough.

looks like an ai render of a Minecraft character

hes able to store fat in his cheeks or his jaw is all swollen.

[–] PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 3 points 18 hours ago

Nah, that’s just what the typical ‘superior white race‘ looks like.

SHOW ME THAT UPPER LIP BOY

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago

Looks like it to me. The bridge of the nose being low like that is supposed to be a telltale sign.

[–] too_high_for_this@lemmy.world -3 points 15 hours ago

Lol, posted a link before I saw your comment. Absolutely textbook FAS face. Not trying to be ableist, but maybe people with intellectual disabilities shouldn't be in government?
