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.

So when Republican farmers say "I didn't vote for that" when they see ICE coming to pick up migrants working in fields you also agree with them because it's not something that was on the ballot itself to vote on, right? You won't tell them "That's what you voted for by voting for Trump" right? Same for Republicans who will lose their social security benefits, right? They didn't vote for that when ejecting Trump, it wasn't on the ballot!
We're talking about a candidacy, not policy.
Same difference, the people Trump chooses to manage things are all people indirectly voted in as he didn't hide the fact that they were the kind of people he would choose.
No, it is not 'the same difference.' Elon Musk is not an elected official, nor does he hold any official government position. Any authority he exercises is purely private, derived from his ownership and influence, not from a public mandate. Consequently, unlike elected officials or their appointees, he is not shielded by legal or institutional protections that apply to public officeholders. He's only shielded by the current administration, and not shielded in any legal capacity. When that ends, he will have more lawsuits than his half a trillion can handle.
Ok...
He's still what people voted for by voting for Trump.
Oh my bad, you thought Trump was going to go off of policy. Don't tell me people voted for Trump because he was going to follow the rules ..
