News
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.

If you structure voting laws such that you could illegally register or vote, you want this to happen. There is really no reason you would need a fucking third agency checking the legitimacy of votes. Especially since voter fraud has been checked and checked again, so many times recently in the US, and every fucking time it turned out to be less then a nothing burger. Why in the ever-loving fucking fuck would some Immigration and Customs agency EVER (EVER!?) need voter records. It's a plain violation of the right to vote in privacy.
It's fuckin' rotten.
For Nazi shit
People keep saying "why are these heavily armed and funded fascists building a trap?!" Over and over, refusing to look at the very logical and obvious answer.
We have a chomo-in-chief and nobody seems to care, idk we're fucked.
Ah chomo, love that! Because it's like homo! And both are the bad sex men that we don't like right? Ha ha ha!
Chomo because it's short for child molester . . .
Chimo*
And crawling out of the absolute cesspool of masculinity it did, probably has no relation?
what? im sorry i really dont know what you're trying to say
That word was born in men's prisons.
Yes, it is a portmanteau of CHild MOlester, but it was born because it is almost exactly the word "homo" which is a slur that was already being thrown around full of spite and violence to mean "a man who does sex I hate".
The word chomo means "kiddy-style fa**ot".
It would be like if a bunch of white people started calling Chinese people "chiggers". No, it's not the N slur but it means "like that other race of people I hate".
I see, didn't realize you were a student of the history of prison slang.
well ive spent a lot of time around excons and i never once made that connection. We also use the term goof but goof in chief doesn't play off commander in chief as well IMHO.
