News
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 don't believe for a second that Trump doesn't know the situation, but how is that lie better? "Here's a picture of you endorsing a self-styled Nazi." Well, I'm out of the loop on that one. "You endorsed him." Yeah, but they just tell me what to say and do. I don't ask a lot of questions. "Would you denounce him now?" I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to say here. Let me check with Vlad and see what he wants me to do. I'll get back to you.
The only way this could possibly be an honest response (it isn’t) is that his dementia is now so bad that he can’t remember things that happened in the short-term.
He sure knew the situation when he was calling Robinson "Martin Luther King times two."
And "Martin Luther King on steroids." Which... does that mean he's Martin Luther King, Jr. with rage issues and tiny testicles?
Basically the horror Ginni Thomas sees every Saturday night.
It looks so incredibly dumb to say you aren't aware of the situation. At least say you're aware but don't have a comment yet pending further investigation...
Ah but see, saying that it depends on investigation implies he would end his support for Robinson under certain conditions, and we all know he has no problem with what Robinson said (even if he genuinely doesn't know what was said). More importantly, his supporters actively support those things. They also have no problem with him being uninformed.
Therefore, he'd rather try to stall until the next controversy (which will probably be next week's VP debate) at which point it will fall out of the news cycle and he can move on without saying something that would alienate his base of white supremacists.
Neither answer looks good. Either he's OK with endorsing a Nazi or he's too stupid to recognize one.
I don't understand why the follow-up question isn't, "why are you so uninformed...?"
Man looks like he shit his pants and was caught right in the middle of it. Would also explain why everyone is standing 10ft back.
Trump loves them Nazis so he can't step back.
Robinson's posts to porn sites were just locker room talk.
When you're a black Nazi, they let you do it.
OMG, the daily show did a bit where Desi Lydic read a post he made of fantasy sex with his sister in-law, but replaced gross stuff with "smurf".
Actually it was more like "times twooouoo"
... as he puckers his lips to look like glory hole.
