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 isn't about him, it is about a society that has degenerated to this level to make execution a spectacle. No other civilized nation does this anymore. It makes cruelty part of society.
You act like everyone in the country voted for Trump.
You don't need 100% participation in something to make it matter.
That isn't an answer.
You didn't ask a question.
You should look up the definition of answer.
The US got what it deserved as a society
Sadly, that means that innocent people are affected by it too
Not everyone voted for him, but enough support him that it could actually conceivably happen.
About 2/3 of the country did, either directly or indirectly through abstention
No, not voting ≠ voting for Trump or fascism. It's bad and definitely the wrong choice - but it's not the same thing by any means.
Kamala was a bad candidate. I voted for her knowing full well what the CA DoJ was like under her (I worked there, it's corrupt and she did exactly fuck all about it). Being disenfranchised, being disabled, living in non-swing states - there are so many factors that go into why people didn't vote. To simply write off every person in the country because the multi billion dollar propaganda machine was successful is thoughtless.
The people have spoken. Americans want this.
Not voting still helped Trump win.
who could imagine that we would end up public executions a few years after democrats went along with a genocide live on social media and then demanded everyone vote for them
Who could imagine a .mler would make a post regarding the Trump regime about Democrats?
what can i say, we are where we are now cause of their abject failures
do you think we would have more or less public executions if the democrats didn't do a live streamed genocide?
