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.

Start selling some dumb shit, like trump diapers, a trump doll that says "grab em by the pussy" or some other dumb ass shit his base likes. They'd snatch that shit up in a heartbeat. Take some of the proceeds for yourself, set up an account to put some into to donate to blue causes and candidates, and rinse/repeat. I guarantee that's what many of them are doing now. (Aside from the donate to blue part of course)

I mean, trump sneakers, trump bibles, trump watches, trump coins, trump assassination sneakers, you can't make this shit up.

I think the way with less overhead is to invent Trump crypto and other financial schemes. People are always looking to make money quick.

Good point! Maybe diversify your schemes for maximum profit.

Is anyone selling bullets with Trump's name engraved on them?

I'm trying to decide if the MAGAts would be throwing money at that idea, or if they would freak out.

It would be fine to engrave the cases, but not the bullets. It would change the balance and aerodynamics, making them highly inaccurate, and that is dangerous and highly unethical.

Now if you wanted to make them underpowered or duds, I suppose there's an argument for that. You'd have to reload them yourself though, and it's possible you could be held liable.
