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.

Rubio accused the ICC of “waging a war against our country, not with bullets or missiles,” but with “the force of so-called international law.”

It's like I'm quoting from The Onion but unfortunately not.

I think we can all remember the adage:

"Never believe someone who wears the wrong size shoes"

Is it because he knows he and his boss and his partners in (war) crime have the slightest chance of being hung for international murder?

I have to help educate you on this. Unless you're talking about penis size, or an object, you should always use the word hanged when talking about people.

Regarding your comment, you are not wrong in your thinking.

Appreciate the quick lesson, Prof. Kmartburrito. 😉

You bet!

I'll leave you with this gem -

The horse and the chicken were strolling on the farm when the horse fell into deep quicksand. The chicken drove over in the farmer's new SUV and yanked him out. A week later, the chicken fell in. The horse said, "Just grab onto my manhood and I'll pull you up." The moral of the story? If you're hung like a horse, you don't need a Porsche to pick up chicks.

Just dumbass American politicians who think they are the rulers of the entire world. Rubio should go back to deporting his friends and family.

They love pulling the ladder up after themselves once they get their "white" card, just like Rafael "Ted" Cruz.

Back in the 1840s a great Irishman named Daniel O'Connell addressed the Irish people going to New York asking them to abandon support for slavery and see their black brothers in the slums with them as their equals.

The Irish did not listen and were handed their whiteness by the ruling WASPs to be their enforcers, the New York police force. The Irish Americans abandoned and turned on the black community to enforce the status quo.

Good on Rubio and Cruz for keeping this long-standing tradition alive!

If I was president I would send all these war criminals to the ICC to stand trial.

Well this account definitely does not belong to Barack Obama

You and your MAGAt pals have already dismantled American law so sounds about right.

Poor marco. He doesn't seem happy about it but he faithfully serves his master, like the dog he is.
