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.

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.

While I'm extremely happy, I'm exhausted and lost all faith that he will be held accountble for anything.

He will appeal on others money and then somehow all the republicans in there twisted hate of their fellow Americans will somehow get him elected and then he will wipe all punishments for him and all his other insurrectionists. Start a civil war, destroy any progress on saving the planet start ww3 or nuclear war...

I used to be optimistic now I'm depressed as the ruling class burns us all to the ground

Hey exhausted lemming! I get you. I really do. But try and look at it this way. Two years ago I would have said he would never be charged with a crime. A year ago I would have said he'd never see a court room. And yesterday, I was convinced that one MAGA in the jury would be enough to get a hung jury. But here we are. So I'll be very surprised if Trump sees a single day in jail, but I've gone from pessimistic depression to cautious optimism. I hope you get some relief, too.

The best news here is that potus can’t make this go away!

It’s doubtful he’ll go to jail ( it’s extremely rare for these kinds of charges,) but he can’t remove the felony conviction.
