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.

Was this dude not just a twitch streamer or something?

I definitely remember he's not exactly qualified

This entire administration is unqualified. The list is as long as the list of Trump's lies. We've got multiple TV show hosts in high-ranking positions, a worm running a human suit, Kash is a kiss-up writing numerous children's books about him and Trump fighting Hillary Clinton or finding the "mules" responsible for "fake" votes, people that think shooting their animals for being untrained is worthy of praise as a tough decision, lawyers who are so bad at their job that judges have issued fines for wasting the court's time. I could go on, but those are just some of the ones off the top of my head.

Less than simply unqualified. Every position is filled by the exact wrong person.

My thoughts exactly, been telling people we are in a kakistocracy since he started naming his nominees.

I am still waiting for El Chapo to be appointed head of DEA.

He was apparently a jaded attorney.

He clearly knows fuck all about running anything past a podcast, and it’s looking more and more like he deserved to be admonished by that judge.

Not sure if I just haven't seen his normal resting face or if he just has resting caught in a lie face.

Caesar with his loyal flunkies and hangers on attend* the gladiator fights.

I see Elon took his son with him... Weird.

Yeah, I'm guessing a UFC video released on dvd would have an age classification
