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, 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.

Isn't it illegal to incite violence against the citizens of the USA? Especially by the "potus"? In the normal run-by-the-US Constitution world, wouldn't that be considered treason?

[–] FE80@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago

Every once in a while Trump does a little treason as a treat.

I mean on the one hand, I have some good friends in San Diego, but on the other hand there are a lot of naval assets there...

[–] DrPop@lemmy.world 9 points 1 hour ago

I don't know what's worse, three fact he said it or that people cheered when he said it.

Oh sure, bastard is giving some other bastards ideas to further the "forever war".

Remember that certain Penske van.

Obvious propaganda is obvious.

This is a distraction ploy, this is what his job is. Look elsewhere to see what his cabinet and the GOP are trying to get you to look away from.

Nobody is immune to propaganda, but we can become aware of it.

You just know they talked about this with him. Like a false flag operation type deal. Just like with his assassination attempts.

He just cannot keep his mouth shut about these things hoping he will be thought of as the smart one when it turns out to actually happen!!

Wait. Did he predict his assassination attempt?

I'd like to hear what the US Navy thinks about nuking one of our nations biggest naval bases in San Diego.

[–] Tronn4@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Fuckers fired on california a year ago. Crayon eaters follow whoever pay them

[–] Hawanja@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I mean, Comic con is in San Diego. WTF.

[–] treesquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Pretty sure that if there was an Iranian strike, they wouldn't be taking target suggestions from Lord Dampnut

TRAITOR

I mean, is this how treason works historically? It's only widely accepted after the fact? Like, when you're in it and actively experiencing it most people don't acknowledge it?

That can't be it. People have been executed for treason. Why the fuck are we so bad at this?

The blue states pay more in tax revenue than the red states. They subsidize them.

Iran is not stupid, they could take out one golf course in Florida.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 1 points 55 minutes ago

The Iranians are not stupid enough to remove an idiot who is ruining the US military. That is how the Allies viewed Hitler, they knew who was fucking up Germany's war effort.

Remember the last time a guy said something about the price is freedom and how that worked out for him? I'll prepare the champagne.

this is the president sworn to defend usa soil? impeachment required and jail asking for murder and genocide of the united states citizens out in the open. holy kuf the epstein class is so delusional. besides east coast closer than west coast.

and the people that clap for the murder/genocide of millions of americans by the president in this case. what are these people. after the impeachment definitely need to investigate and jail all of these people actually not even people murders to be or already murders.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

what are these people.

Traitors. Literally.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 4 hours ago

I'm with you, but this wouldn't be genocide.

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 13 points 7 hours ago

I'm glad he's doing these things so that everyone is reminded that all of them are like this. They're radicals. It needs to be crystal clear so that all of us know what to do.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 1 points 3 hours ago

I guess they're not covered by his golden dome.

no joke...if Trump loses the midterms, he will go scorched Earth on the USA.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I dunno man he’s already sent armed goons on our streets and abducted people from their cars.

[–] green_link@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

sent? sending it hasn't stopped

[–] OldManWithACane@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 hours ago

Wow... i can't even imagine what it's going to be like when he stops showering us with the blessings of the last 20 months.

let them take out mara lago and other places trump owns. not that I would ever suggest foreign powers who wants to hurt trump to hit things he owns but it does make the most sense and would be the most effective.

In the immortal words of Dwight Schrute, “Whenever I’m about to do something, I think, ‘Would an idiot do that?’ And if they would, I do not do that thing.” I don't imagine the people in charge in Iran are not only stupid enough to attack the seats of power of their foe, let alone stupid enough to attack the locations their foe suggests.
