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.

May used the screen name “joebidennnn69″

Ffs

The real ugly bit though:

During a debate on transgender care for minors on the House floor in January 2024, May argued that: “We as legislators have an obligation to ensure that our children have no harm done to them.”

It's always projection with them. It happens so frequently that I'm no longer surprised by these sorts of stories, and why I'm always on-guard whenever I hear a conservative suggest policies around children.

[–] EpicMuch@sh.itjust.works 26 points 6 months ago

Rules for thee but not for me

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

I will teach my daughter to never trust strangers, but to be specially terrified of White Christian Conservatives.

This type of public hypocrisy by elected officials should double or triple punishments.

[–] Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com 6 points 6 months ago

Every single statement they have made about the topic should be admissible as evidence to be used against them in court during sentencing. Every single time they have suggested stricter punishments should be compiled into a list and tacked onto their sentence.

I feel like we're mere months away from someone being labeled "the good kind of pedophile" on Fox News.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 35 points 6 months ago

Isn't that already trump?

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 10 points 6 months ago

"I'm working hard to classify the radical leftist 'Antipedo' movement as a terrorist organization."

To me, that's a very interesting detail. It makes me speculate.

Maybe he thought he was being clever by using a "democrat" username, because it would make him invisible amongst the hordes of demonrat child abusers? Maybe he could even point at his own account at some point and say: see, they're all pedos? Or maybe it even helped him to suppress his guilt, because "a democrat did it"?

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

Or maybe he just dreams of a 69 with Joe.

Its always the ones you most suspect

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 43 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Gee, who could have predicted this?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago
[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 months ago

Its always the ones you most suspect i guess.

[–] MyDogLovesMe@lemmy.world 41 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It’s getting to be where you HAVE to be a pedo to be a republican.

A pre-requisite?

[–] ClydapusGotwald@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Always has been

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago

Let's be fair. Another pathway is to be born to Republican parents and to never question anything they tell you

[–] sepi@piefed.social 37 points 6 months ago

Not a single drag queen, yet. Not one.

[–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 25 points 6 months ago

You better watchnout what you say about him, he might become the next president

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 24 points 6 months ago
[–] Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 23 points 6 months ago

How could the left do this! /s

[–] dumbass@aussie.zone 23 points 6 months ago

If I had a nickle for everytime a conservative turned out to be a pedo, I'd be pretty fucking rich.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 21 points 6 months ago
[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 18 points 6 months ago

I'm shocked.

On a side note, how often does this have to happen before being a ultra conservative political figure becomes probable cause?

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago
[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

No WAY! This hasn't happened for at least a week. Who could believe it other than everyone.

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 14 points 6 months ago

So, this must be a prominent antifa drag queen, right MAGA? Presumably the stage name is Pea Defile.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 11 points 6 months ago

Ah so THIS is a drag queen, yes?

[–] ClydapusGotwald@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

A tale as old as time.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

Not a trans person

[–] televisionhead@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 6 months ago

Tragic but not shocking. 😐

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 months ago

Temu or Wish versions of Epsteinism.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Whats the point of this article with the redundant title?

[–] BuckWylde@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Ultra-conservative and child porn. I know, right?
