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.

You know, this is the libertarian argument for drugs and hookers for me. This stuff is already legal in the US, but only if you're rich enough. I just want it to be legal for everyone regardless of whether they're billionaires.

Hey, can't a guy dance around the room with a fucking chainsaw without people making allegations anymore?

[–] Kirp123@lemmy.world 43 points 8 months ago (2 children)

There literally was a video of him nodding off, high out of his mind during the inauguration.

Fascists love their drugs don’t they?

Give all of them legal access to any drugs they want in copious quantities. Encourage them to take more. Let problems solve themselves.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 15 points 8 months ago

I'm all for this.

Can't solve the fentanyl crisis without knowing what it is, right?

"Allegedly"

Dude was caught grinding on camera. Nothing alleged about it.

I just got a three day ban from Reddit for saying he should up his intake by 10x.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Why are you still on Reddit?

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

Don't kink shame. A humiliation fetish is perfectly respectable.

is that news?

he's visibly high in some videos

[–] Pnut@lemm.ee 27 points 8 months ago

When people do stupid things you might ask them "are you on drugs?" Sarcastically. In this case it was a serious question. At the highest level.

Has anyone else noticed that we don't have many dystopian/apocalyptic movies but way more documentaries these days?

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

He should've gone with that angle after the sieg heils. "Sorry bros, my bad, I was just stoned off my monstrously deformed and hideously botched nuts".

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago (5 children)

I hate Elon as much as any sane person, but who gives a fuck about "allegedly"? Wake me up when there's an actual story.

Yeah, you could tell. This isn't really news, just a confirmation.

[–] GenLe@lemmy.ml 18 points 8 months ago

No surprise there. It's good is being called out.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The sad thing is, I think his sentences are a little more complete and coherent than Trumps' even in his drugged out state.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 8 months ago

That's not a high (heh) bar to beat

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

he brazenly showcases his addiction to power and money and you thought he was going to exercise control with drugs? I've got a place in heaven to sell ya

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 16 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Can you overdose and die from ketamine? Can he...? Please??

I wish Trump would take some shrooms. It might make him more human.

Least surprising headline of the year.

[–] Sorgan71@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

in other news, the sun is hot

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 13 points 8 months ago

The following people would be surprised to hear that.

END OF LIST

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I'm shocked, just shocked that and unhinged drug addict would be doing drugs. Who could have possibly known that would happen? If only there was someone who could have warned us like literally fucking everyone already did.

What? Somebody thought he would stop his habit after taking office? Also when in Rome, get high with the Romans... I don't think Trump even switches on without the right substances.
