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.

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.

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.

Dude advocated for beating children to stop them from being LGBTQ...
In a just society he would have spent most of his life behind bars
My parents had all this guys books, videos, and shit. Forgot about it until I read the title. Once I grew up I use to tell myself they grew up in a different time and compartmentalized the hateful shit they believe from how I thought about them. It didn't ever really come up in conversation unless I made the mistake of engaging in a political conversation.
When my mom defended Elons Nazi salute I realized I was wrong. Hard to cut ties with the person that raised you. Even if they are a hateful American Nazi. Dad died before I was able to lose respect for him. But likely would have too.
Rest in piss.
Shit!
I grew up in Colorado Springs. Rest in piss mother fucker. Evil piece of shit
Hey babe, the new open air latrine opened up
Drop them coords I gotta pee
Now do Trump.
Finally some good news.
Rest in shit, fucko.
vile wretched man, i have nothing nice to say
I wish hell was real. But even then, that's likely too good for this shit stain.
Hell's fires flash a little then die back down to normal
good a lot of graves to shit on but this one will be funniest, road trip!!
I don't think he's gonna make it to heaven
On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
- Matthew 7:22, 23
The world just became a slightly better place.
These fuckers are not dying fast enough to truly make the world better.
The good die young
