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.

That's absolutely how Trump works.
As I have said to others, please show evidence that Trump won in 2016 because people heard his name more than Clinton's a few days before the election.
You just made up a straw man. Did someone say Trump won because of this? All they said was any publicity seems to be good publicity for this shit bag.
I'm not sure what else "the more headlines he gets, the more votes he gets" is supposed to mean other than Trump will win again because of this.
That's concerning. It means you are so biased against the conversation you can't see a simple difference of opinion as anything but a total counterpoint to your position.
More votes. That's it. Maybe one more, maybe a few thousand. Not winning, not running away with anything. Just a few more votes.
Or, you know, I did not know what else that meant.
Why do people always think that I'm lying about what I say when I say it?
It's basic comprehension and reasoning. No one's said anything about lying either. Maybe just kind of take a little break, come back and reread. I misread shit all the time.
Okay? That's exactly why I said I didn't know what else it meant.
So yeah, you are suggesting I'm lying when you say that this is some sort of not being able to see a difference of opinion as anything but a total counterpoint to my position since, according to you, my position was incorrect, so we weren't even discussing the same thing.
Much like my posts aren't lies, they also are not universal truths.
Probably because of the weird, combative, absolutist way you frame so many of your comments?
So block me, don't accuse me of lying.
I'm just giving a possible answer to your question.
In that case, I think you would find if you looked in my comment history, that I try hard not to be absolutist.
That's certainly not working well in this thread.
I am not seeing any absolutist statements I have made in the thread apart from an obviously sarcastic "that's not how anything works." Please quote me.
