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. 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.

draft-dodging coward:

"You know, if you're young, and in this era, and if you have any guilt about not having gone to Vietnam. We have our own Vietnam. It's called the dating game," he said during a discussion of Trump's well-publicized germaphobia and the ongoing AIDs epidemic.

"It's pretty dangerous out there Robin. It's like Vietnam," Trump said earlier in the interview.

"It is, it is," Stern said. "The dating scene is like Vietnam."

"Dating is like being in Vietnam," Trump said. "You're the equivalent of a soldier going over to Vietnam."

Dodging the Vietnam draft is actually one thing I can't fault Trump for. The whole war was horse shit and had nothing to do with protecting the country.

But comparing it to the risk of getting AIDS is definitely the stupid bullshit I'd expect from him.

[–] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 27 points 8 months ago

i think it's more about using one's privilege to negate the consequences of being poor that everyone else had to suffer

most of the wars were/are bullshit, but yes--vietnam especially

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I still do because we all know he didn't do it for some "war is bad" mentality.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

Hell even without that mentality he was bitch about it claiming he had bone spurs. Meanwhile a similar tier of shitheel in the form of Ted Nugent had to at least shit his pants.

That's probably part of why he preferred to rape children, he thought they'd have fewer stds.

trump has been trying to embody the "i'm dominant" character for his entire life, as evidenced by pretty much every bullshit thing he says, and the fact that he actually paid people to bring him news articles that praised him.

he's a weak, cowardly, insecure fucking loser who still hasn't been able to convince himself that he's literally jesus fucking christ, even though he's brainwashed millions of poor and uneducated incel degenerates (which he explicitly can't fucking stand either) into thinking that he is.

"is that your bible?"

"ITS A BIBLE"

i've said it before and i'll keep saying it: when he finally kicks the fucking bucket, that day will be my own new personal holiday

I will be setting fireworks off with you when he dies, and on each annual after

[–] U7826391786239@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

his grave will need 24/7 security to keep people from shitting on it

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

If you read some of the victims' statements, it sounds like he was very paranoid about germs and demanded they use rubber gloves when forced to jerk him off.
