Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

The country that defunded the UNRWA and routinely starves thousands of kids will surely give a shit.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 4 points 2 hours ago

An explosive shit

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 11 points 3 hours ago

The most that's going to come out of this is that absolute banger of a headline.

We're t-mius 2 weeks out from the gop platform shifting to "um, well, actually pedophilia is good and natural for men" and qanon will be quietly swept under the rug and memory holed.

Matt Walsh already primed the base for this with his "ideal child rearing age" christofascist shit

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 5 points 3 hours ago

Fuck, at this point, the GOP could institute Prima Nochta for Trump and get away with it.

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 4 points 3 hours ago

Fuck, you're gonna make me wish Nothing Ever Happens.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 9 points 3 hours ago

It’s great that we’ve litigated pedophilia out in the open so that when nothing comes we’ve normalized diddling kids

Explosive epstein dump lol

[–] LeninWalksTheEarth@hexbear.net 11 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

we totally got him this time.

jk, 30-40% of the country won't believe the evidence and another 30-40% won't give a shit either way.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Yeah unless anyone is actually going to do anything about it why should I give a shit. Dems are gonna wag their fingers then try to impeach him over some other dumb bullshit

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 52 points 6 hours ago (4 children)

there really has to be some rule or some AP style guidance where you can't have the adjective "explosive" for the noun "dump" in a headline.

i mean, come on.

Explosive Dump: The George Brett Story

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 29 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (4 children)

About the legal expert...

Ryan Goodman, a law professor and co-editor-in-chief of Just Security, discussed the documents on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront."

"These are explosive," Goodman said.

Goodman is a social media law brain. Such liberal "experts" have been giving their takes that the Laws will take Trump down since halfway through Trump 1.0. "Explosive" is a new term. I'll add it to my list.

Trump is going to face consequences for his actions around the same time that China's entire economy collapses

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 9 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

I was already tired of "legal expert" in headlines around 2018 because I was on Reddit all the time then and such posts were a r/politics staple. The articles were effectively clickbait because they were only the opinion of one person. But the headlines were copy-and-paste acceptable for that sub's rules. The clickbait might get 10+K upvotes while a far more sober but accurate and factual article about the situation might get 300 upvotes.

I think I went to r/politics once this year for a couple minutes. I just made another visit. A similarly titled article is at ~3K.

Donald Trump "may not outlast" Epstein files scandal: Legal analyst (newsweek.com)

It's the fifth most popular article. Of the top five - four have "Epstein" in the title. In fact - when I scrolled down I saw it was crazy. The entire homepage is Epstein city. Libs are going to be so sad and frustrated when all of this comes to naught.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 10 points 4 hours ago

I don't think libs will care. They'll tut about it, do nothing, whine about it over brunch, and then get back to ignoring their material reality

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 7 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

This is true, he won't outlast it because he is already on deaths door.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 6 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (1 children)

My favorite comment from Trump 1.0 happened when I was arguing with a lib for the nth time. I realized I should have simply stopped talking 2 if not 3 comments before. I wasn't going to convince them of my POV and vice versa.

So - I'm being an idiot. Again. Somebody is wrong on the net. So what! I'll end the convo on a form of detente and a positive note. I said that maybe Trump will have a massive heart attack and die and we'll be rid of him. Their reply really surprised me. They said they absolutely did not want that! They wanted Trump to go on trial and be held accountable!

I just had to laugh.

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 4 points 3 hours ago

Unfortunately, 99.9% of war criminals won't face accountability on this earth. I don't believe in hell but...it's nice to think about these ghouls in excruciating pain for eternity

Even some Republicans are releasing these things. Not looking great for Trump. Unfortunately this country made it illegal for anything bad to happen to the President ever, which was a pretty stupid thing to do.

[–] Hyper_red@hexbear.net 36 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

He's gonna invade Venezuela in a week to distract from this. 50% chance

[–] Azarova@hexbear.net 22 points 6 hours ago

I fucking hate how plausible this is, we truly live in hell doomer
