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 hate the orange fucker but it sounds like he has PTSD. I have combat PTSD and see dangers where there aren’t any. Sometimes your brain just wants you to leave the area.

[–] jagermo@feddit.org 169 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, he should retire and have that looked at. Poor guy, he needs some rest. At his age....

[–] RagnarokOnline@programming.dev 114 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Don’t you think he looks a bit tired?

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 72 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't you think he looks a bit weird?

This is perfect, because it sounds like the toddler that he is.

How does Mrs Crawley know Dr Who? Did Dr Who visit Downton Abbey during one of his adventures?

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What do you mean? That's just Mrs. Crawley with Mr. Crowley, the strange man who is friends with the bookshop owner. Weird seeing him without his sunglasses though.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

He was Mr. Crawley until he changed his name.

[–] citrusface@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

i wasnt prepared for this.

[–] jagermo@feddit.org 5 points 2 years ago

You know, he just might.

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 123 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I have PTSD from his presidency

Post Trump Stress Disorder.

[–] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 64 points 2 years ago

Trump's policies resulted in thousands of veterans with PTSD being denied treatment by the VA on account of lack of funding. If anyone deserves to suffer from it, he does.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 41 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hate the orange shitbag and have no sympathy if he is suffering. I genuinely want good things for all people. But he wants bad things for many people and so my wishes for good things don’t extend to him, his ilk, etc.

Good. Don't be blinded by the tolerance of intolerance.

Oppose at all points.

The moral high road is filled with corpses.

[–] steventhedev@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Do you think someone suffering from PTSD will be able to fulfill their duties as President?

[–] teft@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Active PTSD without treatment? Absolutely not. Maybe with some really good therapy but can you imagine that turnip taking advice from a therapist? Hah!

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

From 2017 to 2021 the duties seemed to consist of golfing and watching TV. Spending a lot of time on the toilet and needing to give it dozens of flushes.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

It's starting to sound more and more like he does. It would be completely understandable given what happened.

Also I'm sorry for what you went through, and I hope it gets better. My wife is infantry and I hope to God she never has to see combat.

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah, but in this case, there was an apparent evolving credible threat on his life and his security detail probably told him to keep the interview brief and then move.

I imagine his (new) secret service detail is a little jumpy after that whole incident in Pennsylvania.

Watch the video in the other link. He was just talking and trying to get out of the conversation.
