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 also told the Times that he isn’t opposed to using nuclear force if he “needed it” to take over the Arctic island but that “it might upset NATO," since the island is a self-governing territory of NATO member country Denmark.

Where are the Epstein Files?

This is the most effective distraction yet; waging war internally and threatening externally.

I'm so tired of this stupid argument. At some point his "distractions" become worse than the Trump-Epstein files. Starting WW3 is one of those things.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Doesn't that make it even all the more worse? People dying in wars started by a deranged child molester. A country would rather have a war against their allies and go down in history as the greatest betrayers in history rather than admit their leader is a child molester and remove him from power.

I don't even think Trump cares about them. It's not like anything would happen to him if he's implicated in them.

He wasn't lying when he said he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue and no one would do a thing.

[–] optissima@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We already have evidence of him being in there via failed redactions, realistically what more is going to happen if more is released?

[–] coyootje@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nothing. The thing he said about openly shooting someone in the street without meaningful consequences is getting more and more true every day.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 1 month ago

He stole classified documents and led a violent insurrection and nothing happened. I'm not sure why people think evidence of him diddling kids would be any different.

If anything the files are the distraction.

cute how you guys think MAGA will stop supporting Trump because of the Epstein case. They just wish they could afford kiddie rape island.

They're still being used as a distraction from the heritage foundation's fascist takeover of the country.
