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.

That's plan A.
They were already using it, California did this to get those banned and failed.
Is it really failing when you so often seem to wind up on the same team?
California Gov. Gavin Newsom doubles down on his criticism of the proposed billionaire wealth tax
Sometimes it feels like Trump was the response of a crazy abusive asshole (Thiel/Musk/broligarchs) who "tried to do things the nice way by giving you somebody like Gavin Newsome," but since people didn't want that he decided to show how crazy he can really be for a 4 years to wear you down the next time around (if you're lucky enough to even get a next time around).
Then threatening this bullshit of "if you expect me to pay taxes, you're going to regret it. I'm warning you... you're going to be so sorry once I'm gone"
It's like stop flapping your fucking gums and leave already you piece of shit, nobody wants you, and we're already in the toilet with you here. America can do bad all by herself. At least then we won't have to deal with your bullshit on top of everything else.
Anyway, long winded way of saying, I don't trust Gavin Newsome anymore than I trust Peter Thiel. Fuck them both.
Just because they're on the same side doesn't mean they aren't greedy.
More Dems in office means more bribes for them.
Like more bribes from the Dems or more Dems willing to accept bribes? Either way, that's my point. It's not really a Dems vs Republican problem when it comes to a Newsome Dem. vs. a Republican. It's a problem of a bipartisan oligarchy seeking to destroy what's left of a democracy.
You could argue it's already been destroyed, but then that just leads back to the question of why bother wasting money on all the theatrics and big threats if they really are untouchable? Why would they need to make this campaign attacking a billionaire tax? Why would the supreme court need to give California the ok before giving the red states the same blessing?
More dems = more power = more bribes.
If Republicans can pass anything why bribe anyone else?
