Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
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.
It would never happen but most all streets/roads/etc are owned by local (city, county, state) groups. They could make their own laws dictating that federal vehicles/employees cannot travel on specific roads. Making it so federal government members can't get to said facilities as well.
Maybe stupid laws should be met with stupid laws
Who is going to enforce it? These agents are busting into houses. You think they care about these imaginary lines on the road?
Unscheduled emergency water main repairs.
I’d like to see these facilities fail their OSHA inspections, health inspections, building inspections, etc. Just shut them down with a flood of red tape.
So, correct me if I’m wrong. Normally Congress gives money to the executive with oversight provisions. Checks and balances. If the executive doesn’t follow the rules - no more money.
But the “Big beautiful bill” doesn’t have a lot oversight provisions, so Trump can do whatever the fuck he wants with no oversight from congress. The GOP Congress basically wants a dictator, so they gave all their power to the executive with no checks. No?
He's taken control of the revenue from Venezuelan oil which goes into his slush fund that has no congressional oversight
In Qatar, of all places. Same folks that gave him the plane.
Hmm. Almost sounds like an escape plan.
