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.

Trump told Fox & Friends that he felt Harris was “awfully familiar” with the questions as he debated her.

It’s called preparation you bellend.

[–] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 year ago

I'm sure the staffers multiple times have shown trump the list of questions from ABC during their "policy" meetings

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Let me guess, it went something like "The corrupt and lying ABC guys made a question, and Kamabla knew the answer! That's not how it's done, that’s not how Trump does it, everybody says so! I just say whatever comes into my beautiful mind, the best mind, people tell me with tears in their eyes, even famous asylum seeker Hannibal Lector!"

Anyone running for President should be able to rationally predict which questions they'll be asked in a debate.

  1. Inflation.
  2. The economy.
  3. Israel/Gaza.
  4. Russia/Ukraine.
  5. Abortion/Roe.
  6. Jobs.
  7. Energy.
  8. Education/Student Loans.
  9. Court reform.
  10. Climate Change.
  11. Crime.
  12. Immigration.

And they should be prepped and ready to discuss any and all of those topics.

The last time a candidate got an out of pocket question was when Clinton got the "Boxers or Briefs?" question.

Anyone ~~running for President~~ should be able to rationally ~~predict which questions they'll be asked in a debate.~~ answer any of these questions

[–] paf0@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

What a sore loser. It was such a huge loss that, rather than trying to force a debate to happen on Fox, he's just going to give up and stop debating all together. He's such a joke.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 40 points 1 year ago

Let's say he's right... let's say "the fix was in" and let's say the hosts were out to get him.

No one made him talk about eating pets. No one made him talk about Harris giving illegal immigrants gender reassignment surgery in prison. No one made him say that Harris needs to sign a bill right now that congress didn't have to pass. No one made him say Biden doesn't know whether or not he's alive. Etc.

He lost the debate because he ranted and raved like a complete nutball.

Oh damn!

They slammed it?? Fuuuuuuck. 🤯

[–] Eggyhead@fedia.io 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do we have a community/magazine for instances of slamming yet?

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please let me know so I can block it. God I hate the way that word is used in headlines. Save "slam" for when you need to tell the doctor why your hand is a bloody pulp shaped like the latch of a car door.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Slamming should only be done by Onyx, and/or be followed by welcoming to the jam (more particularly the space jam.)

Headline from 2032: "ABC hawk tuahs trumps latest conspiracy about debate loss"

[–] MrNesser@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Bold of you to think he will be around in 2032

[–] HWK_290@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Sad that we have already had to endure him for a longer period of time than separates us now from 2032

[–] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wouldn't mind trump gumming up the GOP the next 8 years, as long as he loses with greater margins each election.

[–] MrNesser@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Realistically this is his last chance his core voters are aging out.

[–] Deello@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I thought it was Fox that hawk tuahs Trump's rants

[–] CliveRosfield@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd settle for admonish. I'm tired of slammed

Or just plain "criticizes".

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trump needs to be taken out behind the woodshed every day until the election.

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

That seems excessive to keep taking a corpse behind the woodshed and shooting it again every day. Once should be enough.

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

LOL. It's like any tertiary level test. You don't know the questions but you do know the content. Learn the content and tailor it to the questions.

[–] Balthazar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

"Slammed". Everyone take a shot.
