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, 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.

Gas prices are still high, diesel is at a record high, and the reserve has shrunk more than 30% in six months. While the reserve held around 415 million barrels of oil in February, it now holds less than 285 million barrels of oil — lower than it has been since the early 1980s.

These rapid drawdowns of oil threaten the salt caverns' structure, says Samantha Gross, director of the energy security and climate initiative at the Brookings Institution, a nonpartisan policy think tank. As the reserves get lower and lower, the physical facilities can get degraded, Gross says: " You can damage them by pumping too much out of them."

And the average dumb American will fall for it and Trump will be elected president again in 2028 lol (yes, he will find a way around the 2 term limit law).

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Or a Democrat will win, do nothing for 4 years, and then Trumpinator AI wins 2032

Presidential term limits aren't a law, they're a constitutional amendment. And there really isn't a way for him to get around it.

He's also signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship, which is also a constitutional amendment. Currently with the courts to see who wins.

He's spent and redirected funds without congressional approval, in violation of article 1.

He's ignored the 4th and 5th amendments by deporting people without due process.

He's in stark violation of the emoluments clause.

He's started and continued to wage war against Iran without congressional approval, in violation of article II.

He's banned news organisations from the white house, likely in violation of the 1st amendment.

What makes you think that he'll suddenly pay attention to the 22nd amendment, limiting him to two terms ?

[–] Exatron@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

And the courts struck down his executive order, sparky. He's going to try something, but SCOTUS only lets him have his way when there's ambiguity.

It's not like he pays attention to anything in the Constitution anyway ...

Natalie wipes his ass with the constitution

He doesn't get a choice in the matter, sweetie.

[–] Akuchimoya@startrek.website 3 points 2 weeks ago

And who or what exactly is going to stop him?

When no one (who is in a position to enforce) cares what is legal or constitutional, he can do anything he wants. Just look at the current state of the US and tell me anyone in any power or authority cares. Do you really think "third term" is where they'll draw the line? I'd put every dollar I have that is not actually about not carrying, but that this is the desired outcome, to enrich themselves.

I only see one way to stop him, and it's certainly not by law or votes.

Dang ill just go tell all the companies that all their deals lost over 8 months of tarrifs and complete disruption actually never happened, because the Supreme court waved their wand and undid it. And withholding funds appropriated by congress, ill just tell them those funds actually were distributed.
