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.

He's also skipping Barron's graduation after whining that the judge wouldn't let him go to the graduation even though the judge never said that.

Would that not irritate the judge? How do you trust a defendant who lies about what they present as legitimate scheduling conflicts? They could just continue to make shit up and delay the trial. I'm sure there are plenty of excuses to dig up involving family he usually ignores who are suddenly in poor health, etc. Hell, he could hospitalize one of them just to point to...

I can already see it in front of me. "Your honor, I am sorry but I can come to court on May 17 because (looks at a little piece of paper) of the beautiful graduation of Barron. Looks confused to his lawyer and asking "who is Barron ?"

Was that confirmed? All I read is that the ceremony is in the morning and he's scheduled to be in Minnesota in the evening.

[–] quindraco@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

It is not. He can theoretically attend both, thanks to his private jet.

Headline should be "Criminal Traitor Hosts Money Launderers at Site of Previous Federal Crime"

Scammers gotta be scammers. Those dollars don't grow by themselves.
