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.

It is frustrating that we as a nation keep rooting around in a dead guy's files while ignoring what multiple living women are saying under oath.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

I'm amazed they are still alive. No "accidents", yet.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 hours ago

Virginia Giuffre isn't.

[–] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 2 points 3 hours ago

Agreed. Going public about something like this is very stressful. I am surprised more of them haven't been unable to go on to the point that they shoot themselves twice in the back of the head before jumping out of a building in the exact moment the triple redundant security system happened to be rebooting.

Real tragedy when that sort of thing happens...

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 30 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Well, women have the ability to lie...... Unlike the president, who many people are saying is biggly honest, and the most honest man in history.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 hours ago

Honester than old Honest Abe, who hasn’t been nearly as honest since his death.

[–] Murse@slrpnk.net 52 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

If only we had criminal justice system...

 

Oh wait, -we- do have a system that'll hold us accountable for crimes. If only rich people weren't allowed to do things like rape children or lead an insurrection.

[–] Skv@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago

Well, sadly, they made the system. Only difference now from before is that thanks to internet that people blatantly get to see it happening.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 30 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

I smell boots on the ground in Iran after this newest Epstein files release.

[–] Stormy@thelemmy.club 2 points 2 hours ago

Wait was there another release recently?

At least that we know of as a country, we do not have people deployed in the country proper as of yet. They're all set up in a dozen little airbases ready to fly and die, but we do not have soldiers actively in Iran.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 hours ago

I mean we've probably got special forces and intelligence sources on the ground. We do in basically every corner of the world. But those aren't overt invasion.

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 hours ago

Thank you for the clarification.

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 44 points 10 hours ago (8 children)

Pedonald was publicly bragging about being a pedophile way before he ran in 2016. Anyone who's says they're still waiting for evidences would call it a hoax if that turd would come to their house and rape kids in front of them.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Since everything with him is projection and his lies mean its truth, Im pretty sure Donald Trump murdered someone on 5th Avenue too. Probably someone he raped.

That line was him bragging.

Obviously every piece of evidence against is valuable given the unjust world we live in, but I have to think for a moment about how crazy it would be for anyone not currently convinced of his crimes to see this and then suddenly change their mind

[–] NessaSola@eviltoast.org 2 points 3 hours ago

The good thing is that upstanding people can now have more license to morally condemn with full confidence. (You know, like MAGA does constantly without any basis)

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 67 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

And to think, we don't even know what could have been covered up or erased during Trump's first term when him and Barr were fully in control of the DOJ/DOC.

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 36 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Right? We are dealing with the crumbs that are left over after two terms of trump that have come out despite total control of all three branches of the government plus the local jurisdictions in which this stuff occurred plus whatever other state actors were involved in the whole operation. It is a miracle anything made it out of that.

I don't need any more evidence.

There is already enough circumstantial evidence against him. If I was on the jury I know how I would vote.

[–] Rusticus@lemmy.world 45 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

This. And a jury has already voted him guilty. Multiple times.

[–] comrade_twisty@feddit.org 22 points 13 hours ago (21 children)

And the American public has decided a rapist is better than a woman, multiple times.

Let's see old Donny try to wriggle himself out of this jam

[–] ptu@sopuli.xyz 9 points 10 hours ago
[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

I hope, one day, this overwhelming mountain of evidence actually manages to cause some real-world consequences for the criminals involved. (And leads to some small amount of closure for the victims.)
