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.

Typical market manipulation move. He'll probably announce something regarding bitcoin and the federal reserve today to artificially bump that up too.

Ironically, presidents aren't even allowed to drive.

And even if they were, I wonder if Turnip even knows how to drive a golf cart, let alone an automobile..? 🤔

He knows how to drive businesses and countries into the ground.

I mean... It's a secret service rule, but we know how Trump feels about "norms and traditions".

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Daily internet challenge...

Find any video footage of Turnip driving anything...

Honorary mention for any legit evidence whatsoever that he even comprehends how wheels work, like does he even know how to ride a ~~bicycle~~ tricycle?

No cheating, no AI, is there any evidence that the orange turnip knows anything about the wheel?

I was looking for that earlier (and hoping not to find it, to back up an assertion that he didn't). Unfortunately, I found an article that claimed to link to a YouTube video of him driving his Rolls in Florida while listening to Taylor Swift, but the video had been deleted.

Other than that, all I've been able to find are pics of his driver's license and him acting like a toddler in those photo-ops with the big rig and the garbage truck.

Come on interwebsters, we're waiting...

Commenting to see the results. I was so amused by the pix of the shrub falling off a Segway.

Doesn't count, because he's not driving and only demonstrating the most rudimentary understanding of how it works, but this was the first thing that came to mind.

That's called a door, not a wheel. 😂🤣
