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.

MODERATORS
47 Senators are anti-Constitution.
Great, that will show him not to do that again to Venuzuela... They need to vote to preemptively stop him from doing it elsewhere too. Buuuuut the president also has to sign the order if it even passes for it to take effect which is probably a realistic scenario.
Good. Now do the same blocking trump from using the military against Greenland, and fast!
Also Mexico and- you know what, why not just make it a blanket resolution for everywhere, given he's not supposed to be doing it anyway?
Ok, but when he does, who's going to stop him?
Per the system we have, impeachment and removal from office for breaking the law. 16 additional senators (than what passed the resolution) would need to flip for it to matter.
And when he refuses to be removed and orders the army to defend him from the domestic terrorists trying to undermine him?
No one is stopping him if he does it anyway.
So far people have tried to say "Hey you can't do that", even wrote 'strong letters', but he clearly doesn't give a fuck. And people are like: "ah well, I tried 🤷, maybe he'll listen the next time he commits a crime and I ask him to stop".
Why just Venezuela? Make it a catch all, not useless after the fact shit. He's already threatening two other countries.
so he vetoes and starts his war in earnest
lol, as if that's gonna do anything.
So, you would have prefered the Senate doing nothing?
