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.

Are we going to pretend he gives a shit? He doesn't. He got what he wanted, and he can't be elected again (barring him fucking our systems so severely that he manages to force a third term on us). He's going to wreck the justice system to avoid any consequences for his actions after his term, and he could very well kick the bucket while he's in office anyway (dude's got KFC gravy for blood).
He doesn't care. He no longer has to. He can play his country-destroying games with impunity. He has no reason to give a single fuck what the American people want.
I don't think he cares as much about the tariffs, but I am quite sure tariffs on Mexico and Canada were Elonia's idea
I mean he enacted tarrifs on Canada and Mexico in his first term so it's not like it's not something he's been thinking about.
No, he just re-did the NAFTA, and it's not better.

Oh it's deeper than that, it's money coming out of our pockets slipping through a third party and going back into the government offers. It's an extra tax on goods by proxy. He then has a fresh revenue stream without any earmarks on it.
156,302,318 voters voted out of 244,666,890 eligible. 77,266,856 people voted for tRump. That's 167,400,034 eligible voters who did not vote for tRump. So yeah...that tracks.
And nobody gives one flying fuck about anyone who can't be bothered to vote. If your to lazy to get off your ass and vote you have absolutely no right to complain about anything cause politically you don't matter and you get what your lazy ass asked for.
That's shocking
Non-voters don't matter as far as the political system we're discussing is concerned so why do we spend so much time talking about them? How many of them there are and the reasons they don't vote are both entirely irrelevant.
Nah, with the current political climate, if you didnt vote, you voted for trump. Meaning well over half our country voted for trump.
If you don't use your voice (vote), you get lost in the chorus
That's easy, create a national crisis (massive inflation + riots) and have SCOTUS suspend the 22nd amendment
