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.

I want to criticize him for his blue suit at a funeral so bad, but then I get Obama "tan suit" vibes from myself and gotta reel it back. It just feels so intentional, like he just HAD to stick out and make sure everyone knew where he was seated. Only one in blue in a sea of black, yuck.

You're giving him too much credit. He simply doesn't know that people usually wear black at funerals.

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

No, he's definitely attention seeking.

He will literally push his way past other leaders to be in the spotlight

That’s exactly what it is. He’s an attention whore.

"I get Obama tan suit vibes from myself"

Exactly this, there is so much shit to be angry about right now. If you're Catholic, I understand why this is something you might focus on, but it's like everything he does in every moment as president is offensive.

With Obama and the tan suit, they needed to create something to make people upset. Focusing on the suit right now almost feels like a distraction from the insanity of literally every other aspect of his presidency.

Like when Melania wore the "I don't care do you?" to visit children in deportation centers. We know these people are scum, we know they are IRL edgelords seeking attention on an international stage.

There's shit they want you to get angry about and focus on, and then there's the shit they're trying so hard to keep quiet. Just make sure you don't let the things they're trying to keep quiet go unnoticed.
