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, 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's getting harder and harder to show empathy for these people. The Shitgibbon is delivering everything he promised to deliver. He doesn't care about anyone, his voters included. The leopards are feasting, and these idiots have no one to blame but themselves. But man...those girls? They didn't vote for anyone. And now they're dead or wish they were dead. And that ain't great.
Save the attempt at guilt for the tears of the living, not the potential of the lost. The focus should be on those accountable, not the people who bear a burden no longer.
I don't have guilt for the girls who were killed in this. Thought I made it clear in what I typed. They're dead, or suffering waiting for rescue (I lean towards dead now, given the time that's elapsed). And that's not great. Brought on by the adults in their lives who they trusted had their best intentions in mind. I believe it's clear they never did. It is all about Winning the Political Football Game, and they approach their choices and heroes with about as much introspection and forethought as they do their chosen college or even high school football team. "Me team good! Other team bad! Ungh!" And now dozens of young women, with a potentially bright life ahead of them, are dead. And all to own the libs. What a fucking waste.
Hopefully that makes it clearer what I'm saying.
Texas treats voter registration like a criminal offense and makes it as difficult as possible to do
Yeah! Those children had it coming! How dare they be born in a state you don't like!
You don't know their parents' politics. You just know you hate them.
Yeah? Those young girls at that summer camp voted for this?
GTFO. Dick.
TIL flash floods selectively target Trump voters. Or are we doing collective guilt now? Fuck them dead kids, am I right?
Well, the dismantling of the NOAA, the lack of local regulations on construction and zoning, the lack of land management policies, the lack of education and preparedness all seem to disproportionately affect Republican voting communities. This is a failure of the blueprint.
Sure, go ahead and put words in my mouth. Ad hominem is always in fashion. Those kids would be alive if their parents and communities did their job as part of a society or civilization.
An ad hominem would be if I said something like ‘nobody should listen to this guy because he’s a sociopath,’ it’s not just a retort for when anyone makes any uncharitable characterization of your argument. (It’s also not even evidence that an argument is invalid, that’s called the fallacy fallacy)
Which, if you want to accuse me of committing an ad hominem by characterizing your argument as ‘fuck them kids,’ you might not want to immediately go straight to how they deserved it for living in a red state.
