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, blogs, 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.

Mullin was squeezing a flesh-toned stress ball in his right hand as he declared that election officials could face "prison time" if they don't cooperate with the Trump administration.

When pressed on whether Mullin could guarantee that midterm elections would be "secure," he fired back that states "have to do their part."

This comes as the White House finds itself in a major panic after Trump failed to deliver 'really big news' in his primetime address.

So much fascism in so little time.

Him squeezing a flesh-colored stress ball while warning of consequences for "election interference" couldn't be more on the nose if it were glasses.

That dude is going to burst a blood vessel.

[–] pressedhams@lemmy.blahaj.zone 46 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We could only hope it’s in the brain.

[–] homes@piefed.world 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I hope it’s a critical part of his brain, and that it happens soon

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is it still critical if there's not much useful bits left?

[–] homes@piefed.world 10 points 1 week ago

I meant “critical to keeping him alive”

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

God willing.

[–] wuffah@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago

Sounds like the election interference is coming… FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE! Ahhhhhh!

I knew the answer while I was asking it

But it just replaces one problem with another

[–] Murse@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah but the latter will render you incapable of caring that it's a problem if you hit it hard enough.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Yes, but that also affects the problems that do matter. And it costs money.

[–] macaro@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I almost thought this was satire.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I did thought it was satire.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Sounds like Pedo Party is going to try to pressure states to fake their results. Fascism 101.

Go fuck yourselves. Release the trumpstein files. Then just fuck right off.
