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.

So a poorly-planned and sloppily-executed intervention leaves us with an unsightly, expensive mess that's worse than it was before. This administration really likes to stick to a theme.
What are you talking about? It was massive success. Trump took a 1.7 million dollar project, and ballooned it into a $14 million boondoggle that made him about $10 million, and his contractor buddy about $3 million, so he'll definitely be on board for the next scheme. It achieved ALL its objectives.
Like his casino bankruptcies. Those weren't incompetence, it was a business model. Buy a casino, rape it for every penny of profit, get as much public money for grants and renovations as possible, cheat all the contractors, and eventually file for bankruptcy, and stiff all the creditors.
Then do it again, and again, until the legal system won't allow it anymore. Then figure out the next grift.
Turns out the next grift was become the legal system
That’s giving them too much credit, they certainly didn’t plan
The thing that professionals said would take years to complete took a couple of months instead...
Who could of saw this coming?
I mean I'm sure it's just embezzlement.
14 million to the pool guy who half asses it did a couple million takes a couple million himself and kicks the rest back to Trump.
"Drain the swamp" just got even funnier
