News
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.

His sister was murdered in the most conservative town in Colorado. Maybe conservativism doesn't work Mr. Grammer?
To them conservatism can never fail. It can only be failed, because you didn't conservative hard enough. There is no introspection, no critical thinking. Only doubling down. Because otherwise all the suffering would have been for naught.
I know you're joking, but at the same time I know you're really not.
Republicans do not believe that they do not make mistakes, they merely believe that admitting a mistake would in itself be a mistake
But they never take it to the next logical step I've noticed. They do dumb things all the time, but then what they don't seem to do is preemptively work out if the thing that they're going to do is dumb or not, and then if it is dumb not do it. It's like they don't have a strategist.
I think it's a problem with the right wing groups in general. They're so completely blinded by self-belief that reality doesn't get a look in.
Look at Trump right now, he cannot possibly think things are going well for him, but there he goes carrying on.
I'm just baffled that his defense team seems to have the strategy of directly antagonizing law enforcement. In no world does,
" go ahead, take me to jail, you're too much of a pussy, I bet you won't do it."
Ever actually play out, it's either amazing 7D chess, or the more realistic option. He legitimately thinks he is invincible and nothing he ever does will have any consequences
I have no clue of the backstory. Are those two things related at all?
