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.

Isn't this the Jim Jordan that was involved in the sex abuse cover-up conspiracy at Ohio State University?

[–] PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com 52 points 3 years ago

Yes that's him, the rape enabler

[–] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 33 points 3 years ago (2 children)

No no, this is the Jim Jordan that was involved in the sex abuse cover-up conspiracy at The Ohio State University.

[–] thisisawayoflife@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago

Wait, THE Jim Jordan from THE Ohio State University, where Jim Jordan, the Republican congressman who attempted to become House speaker, was involved with a sex abuse cover-up conspiracy!?

Found the bucking fuckeye 😀

(I actually like OSU so no disrespect intended…)

[–] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 27 points 3 years ago

His full name is Gymnasium Jordan, or Gym for short.

[–] neptune@dmv.social 3 points 3 years ago

The very same.

We would have a speaker if Republicans voted for Jeffries. This is all their fault contrary to what dipshit McHenry thinks.

What I do find interesting are the Republicans who are not voting for Jim 'Rapist Enabler' Jordan but instead voted for Steve 'David Duke Without the Baggage' Scalise. Trading one massive piece of shit for another.

[–] 2Xtreme21@lemmy.world 18 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (2 children)

We’d also have a speaker if the democrats voted for Gym!! It’s obviously their fault!!

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 18 points 3 years ago (1 children)

That's basically the joke. McHenry blamed Democrats for McCarthy losing the Speaker position despite a Republican being the one to call for a vote and not all Republicans voting for him.

[–] popcap200@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Don't forget too, only days after he told the Democrats he won't compromise and they get nothing. Lmao what an idiot.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago

He also pretty much dared Gaetz to actually initiate the ouster then seemed surprise that his bluff got called and he was caught holding an Uno card and a half filled customer loyalty card for a Subway that got shut down for health code violations

Why are the libruls letting us hurt ourselves???

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 37 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Are we in leopards ate my face territory when GOP house members are getting death threats from their own base for not supporting Jordan?

[–] spider@lemmy.nz 4 points 3 years ago

getting death threats from their own base

i.e., the MAGA version of a charm offensive.

Again! Again! :D

[–] eee@lemm.ee 4 points 3 years ago

This is really funny to watch. Maybe he'll get negative votes at one point.
