Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. 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.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

Kennedy said Trump had the most "unhinged" diet of the administration officials.

"The interesting thing about the president is that he eats really bad food, which is McDonald's, and, you know, candy and Diet Coke. He drinks Diet Coke at all times," Kennedy said. "He has the constitution of a deity. I don't know how he's alive, but he is."

fuckin die, both of you. Wish his dad was assassinated before he was born.

[–] moss_icon@hexbear.net 6 points 1 hour ago

Because these fucking old pricks just refuse to die

Same reason Kissinger made it to 100 and why Cheney lived so long after all his heart issues.

Shit I don't know RFK is alive. He got the diet of a mealworm hahaha

The health secretary was also open about his dietary supplement routine — but he warned that he shouldn’t be seen as a pinnacle for what others should take. In response to Miller's question, Kennedy said he takes Vitamin D, quercetin, zinc, magnesium, Vitamin C and “a bunch of other stuff.” How does he choose which supplements to take? In a relatable way — and one that’s not necessarily medically advised. “My method is I read an article about something, you know, and I get convinced that, oh, I gotta have this stuff,” he said. “And then I get it and then six months later I’m still taking it. I don’t remember what the article said. So, I end up with a big crate of vitamins that I’m taking, and I don’t even know why.”

This is the guy in charge of our entire health system

Isn't it awesome? He's got the medical background of social media obsessed parents

Imagine taking vitamin C instead of just eating a raw orange or something.

[–] Azarova@hexbear.net 15 points 3 hours ago

absolutely incredible stuff

[–] MarxusMaximus@hexbear.net 16 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine being a secret service agent and you get assigned to the team that goes to McDonald's every day to watch trump's food get made and ensure it's not tampered with. Even the secret service is doing Uber eats in this economy.

[–] Self_Sealing_Stem_Bolt@hexbear.net 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

When was the last time he even had warm fries? You know hes not going with them to get it, its always delivered. That stuff isn't even mid and he always gets luke warm limp fries lmao

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Surprised he didn't try to get a maccas installed in the whitehouse at some point.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 8 points 2 hours ago

Fucking golden arches logo over the front entrance of the whitehouse

You know it's bad when you disgust even Lord Nurgle.

That's what happens when you have access to the best healthcare on the planet.

RFK Jr: IDK how Trump is alive with the diet he has.

Also RFK Jr: Anyway, here is this food pyramid with red meat as its basis.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 18 points 4 hours ago

If it works for the president it will work for your loony ass, now eat the fucking meat loaf!

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 25 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Bro your followers literally think a milkshake of beef tallow and ivermectin will cure cancer.

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 15 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Well, that didn't work out for the dilbert guy

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 7 points 2 hours ago

TALLOW N THE HORSE PASTE KEEP THE DOCTOR AWAY. BUT IT IS NOT FOR CHILDREN. MAX CONSUMPTION NEEDED 24/7. HE WAS NOT WORTHY.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 7 points 3 hours ago

Telling you he just didn't take enough, 5 or 6 more hero doses of 2,000ccs beef tallow and ivermectin would have saved him.

[–] seas_surround@hexbear.net 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

but it worked out for the rest of us curious-marx

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That's bc we didn't learn hypnosis like the dilbert guy.

[–] seas_surround@hexbear.net 8 points 4 hours ago

he hypnotized the cells in his prostate something fierce

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 25 points 4 hours ago (4 children)

Trump will live to be 100 and the preservatives will ensure his body never rots.

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 17 points 4 hours ago

They'll be studying his body in a thousand years like the Egyptian mummies.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 6 points 3 hours ago

He will become our reality's first living ghoul

[–] spudnik@hexbear.net 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

They can skip the embalming and just chuck him under some glass after he croaks

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

He'll be kept under a heat lamp with a side of fries.

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

They'll have to change the fries out periodically like the guard at the tomb of the unknown soldier

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 8 points 3 hours ago

I’m half his age and I have no doubt he’ll outlast me
