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.

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.

He's not just protecting pedos, he is a pedo. He is part of a whole ring of disgusting perverts.

[–] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 49 points 5 days ago (3 children)

honestly. Why are people shouting "pedophile protector" instead of the much more damaging and relevant "child rapist?"

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 18 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Because there's evidence of protecting paedophiles (heavy redaction of the Epstein files) but no public evidence of him having raped a child, so statements like that are viewed as hyperbolic expressions of hatred instead of genuine criticism.

[–] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (11 children)

it's about time for some people to rub two thoughts, "convicted rapist" and "pedophile protector" together in their minds for a few moments to reach the frankly braindead obvious conclusion.

There is so much evidence of him raping at least one child, a jury found him civilly liable and those damages have been upheld on appeal

not only pedophile, but a RAPIST.

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 88 points 5 days ago (2 children)

"Flips out" This hyperbolic shit really grinds my gears. The protester didn't shut up until everyone got annoyed, the Trump made a "joke" and went on a brief tangent full of lies, as normal. This isn't a flip out. In fact this is barely worth reporting.

[–] TBi@lemmy.world 31 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Didn’t you see him get SLAMMED and DESTROYED!

/s

Fully agree with you though. This wording is getting very irritating.

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Click/engagement-bait.

Last month, a protester repeatedly shouted "pedophile" at Trump and gave him two middle fingers while he toured a Mack truck factory in Macungie, Pennsylvania.

Buy this guy a beer!

[–] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 35 points 4 days ago (5 children)

But trump isn't a pedophile protector as much as he's an actual pedophile.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

And he protects himself, checks out.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What's another name for a pedophile protector?

Pedophile.

The American people have apparently decided that he can do both.

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The poor guy has been misunderstood, he wasn't trying to insult Trump. After Slytherin was renamed to "Hogwarth MAGAs" he has been sent to shield Trump from harm with his "Protecto Pedophilus" spell.

[–] HazardousBanjo@lemmy.world 91 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He didn't really flip out, as much as he was just trying to ignore him, and when he couldn't anymore he tucked his micro-dick inside and whimpered that the guy "is a communist".

The more egregious part is the fact his dumbfuck base cheered the guy's removal and Trump calling him a communist. They know Trump rapes kids. They love it.

Not recognizing boundaries and not understanding consent are what made the USA possible.

Alas, I have but one upvote to give.

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 34 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The pedophile he is protecting? DJT

[–] HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

Maybe he was upset at the lack of brevity?

The protestor could've just clipped it to the one word.

[–] spacegoat@lemmy.world 42 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Why are we calling Republicans "pedophile protectors" instead of just pedophiles

We don't call serial woman abusers "woman abuser protectors", we just call them cops

[–] TBi@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Why both both?

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Rapepublicans

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

he's the pedophile they're all protecting

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 53 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Apparently, as far as Trump is concerned, only communists would think that protecting pedophiles is a bad thing.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (21 children)

If I had to choose between pedo's and commie rat bastards... Well. I can live with the rat bastards.

though socialism is preffered over both.

Just imagine how much he’d flip out if even a single American had the balls to start a revolt because of his corruption and tyranny, just like our sacred founding documents demand

They would call us “traitors” for doing the most patriotic thing— hurting their delicate fee-fees

[–] stopdropandprole@lemmy.world 25 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

what's frustrating and insane is there may already have been several people who've "taken a stand" or tried to revolt in earnest already... but because the entire media ecosystem is captured by elitists, those stories would never get coverage and we'd never hear about them.

the headline would just be something innocuous like:

Local man perishes in officer involved shooting, motive unknown

More in-depth journalism revealing the facts and truth! /s When did the billionaire-owned, mainstream media become the Enquirer? Titillating headlines with no real substance.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 6 points 5 days ago

... And the worst thing that the idiot can think of is that the guy yelling is a "communist" not even a "terrorist".
