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.

Lol, having a decades old friend send you a misogynistic meme, going along with it because you don't actually believe in anything, and then having that friend turn around and give the whole exchange to the press because you're a shitty judge of character who's surrounded themselves with grifter assholes is, like, the most moderate Dem thing I could imagine

This man should not be making begrudging remarks on the appearances of anyone.

Has he looked at AOC or Ilhan Omar like, ever?
Nevermind that attractiveness isn't even what people should look for in this case. This ain't a beauty competition.

It sucks that this is relevant, but a lot of elections are won through media. Ever since JFK won against Nixon because of TV performance, it's been downhill. Republican representatives put in huge cosmetic work to achieve a certain appearance, because they know it makes them attractive to voters.

It's not real though. Democratic woman are hot as fuck. Their example of an ugly Democratic woman is someone no one ever talks about who's in her 80s when AOC is one of the most famous Democratic politicians. The whole Squad is beautiful. It's just the sort detached from reality brain rot that propagates on conservative social media.

And how does his wife of 4 years feel about the fact that he's publically running around with his tail out?

Edit: he said this, but from the article he somehow thinks his defence is at least partially

we shouldn't be trying to exclude more people.

Unbelievable.

Despite the insulting manner of his texts, he doubled down on the message, saying the private conversation was "a reflection of what I've been saying the whole time."

T.V. is the stomping ground for political candidates Where bears in the woods are chased by Grecian Formula'd bald eagles T.V. is mechanized politic's remote control over the masses co-sponsored by environmentally safe gases watch for the PBS special It's the perpetuation of the two party system where image takes precedence over wisdom Where sound bite politics are served to the fastfood culture Where straight teeth in your mouth are more important than the words that come out of it Race baiting is the way to get selected Willie Horton or Will he not get elected on..

Can't wait for Blue MAGA face.
