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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


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.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

What do you want to bet he was told and ignored it?

Literally all money I have access to.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Hell, I'd make that bet on margin

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago

My bet is he was told and forgot. Ol Dementia Don at it again.

this sort of breathless headline does not the former guy. people who like him are like, 'oh he's just off the cuff brash', but no he's like a toddler with a big box of toy guns

"does not accurately reflect"... shit. i don't know. it's like a puzzle i completed 99.9%. Found the missing piece the day after I set the whole thing on fire. Actually no it's like that analogy does not even work, but shit this is not going well.

Except the toy guns are loaded with real bullets.

At one point he has access to nukes!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

It does sort of amaze me that we didn't have a military coup happen because he ordered a nuclear strike on a hurricane or a random country that he got too upset at.

You just can't find good help these days after surrounding yourself with yes-men, repeatedly firing your staff, implicating them in your crimes, insulting and harassing them, and spending all week golfing and eating cheeseburgers instead of preparing for campaign events.
