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, 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.

You assume going to a school means fucking anything when you have money.
Are you really trying to claim that Vance is a stupid rich guy?
Whether you or I like it, he went to Yale on a full scholarship for the first year. Meaning he was neither so rich that his parents could just let him get into Yale (he was from a middle-class family) and he wasn't stupid.
I don't like Vance. You don't like Vance. That doesn't mean we have to pretend he is an idiot.
He also fucks couches though. Tbf that doesn't seem very smart. He might catch rug burn.
Don't kink shame.
Did I say that? No, I said a degree didn't imply competence or intelligence.
Neat, totally irrelevant to my point but neat I guess.
I don't have to pretend he's an idiot, he is. He's just an idiot that can pass tests.
Underestimate your opponents at your own peril.
He's not my enemy, he's a pundit and a real fuckin goofy one at that. Similarly being an idiot doesn't mean I'm not taking them seriously, many many idiots have effected history in negative ways they are and were still in fact idiots though.
Someone trying to bring a genocidal fascist dictator into power should be your enemy. I'm not sure why he isn't.
The movement sure, this weird couch fucker is an issue that needs to be stopped, he's not my enemy. He's an opponent, fascists phase shit as their opponent being an enemy of the state.
Couching things as enemy v friend isn't really helpful and only serves to push away the middle. He's a shit heel for sure, he's not someone I think needs to be drug out and hung as an enemy of the state as you imply.
Again, a genocide fascist enabler should be your enemy. Because they want a fascist genocidal government.
And again, I have no idea why you wouldn't consider an enabler of genocide to be an enemy.
Also, no one needs to be hanged as an enemy of the state because capital punishment is barbaric.
Would Nazis be your enemy if this was the 1940s?
Also, when did I call for violence? Please quote me.
I said Nazis, not Hitler. I also said nothing about Vance in that context, he wasn't alive in the 1940s.
And Nazis would only be your enemy if war was declared? The whole 'oppressing Jews and others since 1933' wouldn't be a factor?
By the way, I'm waiting for you to quote me calling for violence. Was that a lie? Should I flag you for trolling?
Nope, I'm implying Trump is going to be another Hitler if elected and Vance wants that to happen, making him evil. You do not think evil people are your enemy. I find that a morally abhorrent position.
And you won't quote me calling for violence despite accusing me of it. It was a lie and you are obviously a troll. I will just flag you accordingly and move on.
Sure he's a fascist, he needs to be stopped so he's my opponent. He isn't my enemy, enemies are moved against in certain ways, opponents entirely separate ways.
