News
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.

Trump did not do that, America did. I only say this as no one seems to be doing anything tangible to stop this miscreant.
When you manipulate the market and increase tariffs to every country… it didn’t take a country to do that. It took a fool and his moron Admin and Republican Congress to fuck shit up.

While yes, he won the popular and electoral vote, he is still the one carrying out these idiotic and dangerous policies. No one wants a bloody revolution in the streets, the majority of people are just trying to survive.
Congress could easily deal with this dictator, but the GOP are fully complicit and have zero desire to do anything to stop him. We've all seen the numerous townhalls of GOP reps getting torn apart over this insanity, and yet they truly do not care.
I think many Americans are still kind of shell shocked by everything. Hell, I'm still in disbelief that he even won to begin with. My disgust towards those who voted yet again for this criminal makes me not even want to fight for them.
We should be recalling the broken Congress critters at this point. It's fucking absurd.
And what exactly do you propose we do?
This.
I'm not sure what you mean by "we" in this new age of strident nationalism and creeping isolationism. I don't even know generally what should be done, let alone exactly. It has to do with money, power, greed, human nature...all that shit and more I assume. I guess I will do one thing today that I have control over. I'm Canadian and I will vote today.
Victim blaming is always a totally defensible and cool thing to do
