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.

So they cut the part from an article yesterday where he stated he went to the protest to support Donald Trump, and leaned heavily into the part that he didn't support either party now.

Seemed pretty clear that Trump lost, he thought congress was going to do their job to get the next president situated.. and he didn't like anyone that took part in that. So he placed bombs next to both, because they were both doing what they were supposed to do.

Some may even conclude that an act of violence intended to stop the government from declaring the results of the federal election.. pretty insurrection like.

The media wavering is in full flight now.
Yesterday: He was a Trumper.
Today: It was both sides.
Tomorrow and forevermore: Trump was right; it was all B-B-Biden

Prosecutors said Cole discarded all bomb-making materials at a dump after he saw himself on the news. Components for the bombs, prosecutors wrote, included a pipe nipple, end caps, wires, a 9-volt battery and homemade black powder, among other items.

Cole said he did not tell anyone about the pipe bombs in the years since, the filing said. Agents searching his home this month found pipe nipples, iron end caps, wire and wire strippers. Agents also were said to have found a receipt for hand sanitizer and pipe nipples in Cole’s car, as well as a shopping bag containing end caps and a 9-volt battery.

Huh? He discarded all materials and seems to have been super careful about not leaving evidence, but they found materials in his home and car four years later? Was he stocking up for another bombing? Or was buying plumbing supplies and batteries not an uncommon thing for him?

Even if the contradiction comes from the prosecutors, an editor should be pointing it out so the author acknowledges they just wrote two things that don't make sense together and tried to ask for clarification.
