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.

And Republicans continue to say the Left is the ones responsible for fomenting political violence.

Celebrating violence. Definitely worthy of a Peace Prize.

[–] NekoKoneko@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago

Too bad I heard FIFA may be retiring their peace prize after one year.

Exhibit #354,364 that we're on the wrong timeline: Crowds used to cheer Nazis getting punched. Now they cheer Nazis punching.

[–] spacegoat@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

This has always been America. The country’s moral outrage following the holocaust was just typical American hypocrisy.

[–] minorkeys@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago

Shaping hearts and minds. Looks pretty fucked when it's happening to us. We are all being manipulated.

That's no contradiction. They say is with the expliciet intent to distort the discussion to support their violence.

Sometimes I complain about how Lemmy folks don't get jokes and argue about everything, but the reason I'm never leaving is probably related: people just get it around here.

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 26 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Being on Lemmy in the first place requires a certain sort of situational awareness. It's full of people who looked at Facebook, and Reddit, and Xitter, and said "man something's not right here" and then took actions about it.

Statistically speaking, Lemmy users are more likely to be clued in about more things than your average internet user.

[–] dkppunk@piefed.social 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I was just explaining Lemmy/PieFed to a friend the other day and they didn’t quite get it. I left all the mainstream social media sites because I could see what the algorithm is doing to people, but so many that are entrenched in those sites just don’t see it.

[–] Neverbeaten@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I explain to people that I've removed algorithms and advertisements from my life, deleted my linkedin, don't use android or iOS, don't buy anything from Amazon or Walmart, and only read paper books, and then they look at me like I have three heads.

His Deathday is going to be celebrated worldwide by people of all colours. It’s gonna be kind of unifying. It won’t really change much, but it’ll be a good day.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago (3 children)

After he glitched out today, making all those weird noises I don't think that day is too far off. Like he might not make it to 2027.

My dad started making noises like that and a few weeks later could not even talk. A month after that he was gone.

Dementia Don is not long for this world.

[–] 13igtyme@startrek.website 4 points 3 days ago

One can hope, but these ghouls have a way of clinging to life.

[–] redballooon@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But given the current replacement plan, this won't be a good day either.

Honestly my worry is the cult of personality. Vance for all his bad doesn't seem to have any charisma required to inherit or maintain it, frankly I'd say there's a chance the cultists turn on him in particular.

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They'll McConnell him. Put him in a bed with someone underneath with their hand up his arse, manipulating him like the puppet he's always been. Bet they make an intern do it. Tough job, gotta go shoulder deep.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

McConnell was their test run at keeping a brain dead man moving around and breathing like a meat puppet. They may actually do a warhammer and just keep him hooked up to machines as the immortal forever president of America

The scary thing about this is that it is not impossible. It's not even very unlikely.

[–] nightlily@leminal.space 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It’s really going to bring back the US tourism industry. You’ll have to pre-book well in advance to piss on his grave.

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I wouldn’t visit America even to piss on Trump’s grave. I should make that into a t-shirt, maybe…

[–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I should start a mail in piss business for Canadians who want the joy of pissing on his grave from the comfort of their own homes.

[–] 13igtyme@startrek.website 2 points 3 days ago

Just do like the colon cancer screening things and just shit in a box.

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

I have a theory that trump is like an evil spirit that feeds on attention.

If no one says his name for 24h, he will vanishe.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago
[–] Radical_Socialist_t00t@lemmy.ca 17 points 4 days ago

The Left obviously isn't violent enough.

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Fucking love how the "law enforcement officers" just let the magat traitor filth (who sucker punched the real American like a little bitch) go without arresting him for CLEAR AND UNDENIABLE ASSAULT.

[–] Throbbing_banjo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Why arrest one of their own?

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You're absolutely right. No laws in a fascist state, except those used to oppress freedom.

Me when Trump gets punched or worse:

"Man, I loved that!"

[–] Lor@leminal.space 11 points 4 days ago

My shocked face 😐

[–] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago (6 children)

I think their position is that it's not political violence if "they're right". That's just standing up for truth.

Political is when something is untrue like, I dunno, periods or something.

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah it’s the same mindset as; you’re a man, or you’re political, you're white or you’re political, you’re straight or you’re political etc.

Not agreeing with them is an attack on their ego and they cannot tolerate it.

Guy was always a piece of shit. Just sucks how many yall are ok with that.

[–] criscodisco@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Lemmy is famously chock full of Trump supporters.
