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.

"You must be a legal resident of Iowa and the precinct you live in and bring a photo ID with you to participate," the state Republican party said on Friday in a post on the social media platform X.

The party is scheduled to hold local gatherings, known as the Iowa Caucus, on Jan. 15 in which participants will vote for their choice for the Republican candidate to run in November’s presidential election. U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to be the Democratic Party’s nominee.

The state Republican Party posted its reminder after Casey DeSantis, appearing on Fox News with her husband, the governor of Florida, called on women from across the country to join the gatherings, saying, “You do not have to be a resident of Iowa to participate."

I'm usually not one to mock someone for their appearance, but people who bed with fascists get little sympathy from me.

Holy shit that makeup looks terrible.

(Most) People don't choose their faces, but do choose their makeup. I think you're ok on this one.

The first thing I did when I saw the thumbnail was google pictures of her to see if her makeup is always that bad. Turns out, it's almost never good, but this is a particularly bad look. Whoever does her makeup (maybe her) is doing so many things that make her look like a cartoon witch, which is kind of hilarious tbh, since she sucks.

I have to admit that regardless of her ugly politics I always thought she was attractive but evil cartoon witches being mean to me is hot in my book so maybe you've squared this circle for me.

Maybe it's because my phone is on the lowest brightness setting, but it looks much better to me than I was expecting after your comment.

Looked again with regular brightness, and aside from her being a little older, her makeup looks fine. Her nose looks a little weird, like it was redone surgically. But better than the airhead tan blonde fake-lipped bimbos you usually associate with republicans.

I feel like makeup is fair game because you did it to yourself. I make fun of my brother’s shitty tattoo because he chose poorly.

I went to Google to see for myself and I found this article about her eyebrows https://slate.com/human-interest/2023/07/casey-desantis-eyebrows-sparked-important-national-debate.html

I would feel bad about her bad makeup if she wasn't so supportive of ol' pudding fingers
