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.

The people spoke and elected Trump.
Are you going to subvert democracy because you don't agree with the outcome?
Lincoln did it. He suspended habeas during the War.
Trump should be ineligible per the 14th amendment.
But also the Republican party is going to send everything down the shitter
So it's okay for one side to just sit down and watch, while the other side literally does in fact subvert democracy?

The time to deal with this was in November at the polls.
No, the time to deal with this was any one of the multiple times Trump was impeached but our Congress and Judiciary are apparently filled with spineless corrupt pond scum pretending to be humans.
Americans voted him back in again so really didn't matter much what Congress did.
If they had impeached his ass he wouldn't have been eligible to run.
Trump was impeached but they didn't convict him.
It takes another separate vote for disqualification.
No the time to deal with this was in January right after the incited riot.
You know who was democratically elected in Weimar all fair and square and it was the greatest time Europe ever saw?
Friedrich Ebert?
If we always listened to "The People" we would still have a king.
Aaaaaaaaand here we fucking are.
I clearly ain't doing shit either. Don't get me wrong.
I'm just saying let's start by not being proud of being, at best, disorganized and powerless, and weak cowards at worst.
Let's grieve properly. If we can get past denial, maybe we can then tap into some righteous fury in the people that support our cause(s).
