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.

Since it was a Conservative Republican who shot at him. Would they be retaliating against other republicans?

Or (more likely) would they be like the drunk idiots at the bar who just start swinging at anything that moves in their stupidity and anger?

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 41 points 2 years ago

The latter of course. This is the excuse the ammosexuals needed to Do Bad Things.

It's only fair if Biden gets shot in the ear too - Both Siders

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 20 points 2 years ago

Since a conservative shot Trump, it is our duty as liberals to nick Biden so that it's fair.

Maybe some of the craziest, who believed in the most craziest stuff, and thus will feel the most wrong-doed/betrayed, starts to understand it was just lies?

This entire election has been nothing but drunk idiots swinging at anything that moves

Can we say conclusively the shooter was a conservative Republican? I know they were registered to the party but they also donated to Democratic campaigns. I think ascribing any kind of political affiliation or motivation to him is premature

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The donation was from a different person, and his classmates have said he's a conservative, and his parents had Trump signs in their yard

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Do you have a source for the donation? I just read a Forbes article and they’re still reporting he made the donation

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

His high school classmates said that he was staunchly conservative.

Hadn’t seen that, thanks
