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.

Big shocker...ANOTHER Trump ally wanted to rape kids. Please...JUST STOP! These people will never face justice because they run the country now. Even so-called "left wing echo chambers" like Reddit will perma-ban you for saying that these monsters should face anything harsher than a slap on the wrist. I was banned for saying that there should be capital punishment AFTER legal trials because "That's violent!" No shit. The latest Epstein files are reporting not only child rape but child murder... but that's okay, because they didn't say anything bad on social media about hurting anyone! This country is sick and its dying...and I'm sick and tired of seeing these people get away with it. America died in 2016. The corpse just hasn't stopped twitching.

America contracted a terminal disease in 1971, at the business roundtable.

Wasn't there a conspiracy theory that Ghislaine was a reddit mod/admin?

Him listing out the ages of the several children he was bringing with him made my stomach do a flip

That was his wife, not him.

In one email from December 2012, Lutnick's wife Allison wrote to Epstein's assistant: "We are looking forward to visiting you. We will be coming from Caneel Bay in the morning. We are a crowd... 2 families each with 4 kids ranging in age from 7-16! 6 boys and 2 girls. I hope that's okay. We would love to join you for lunch."

By the time everything is released, I bet the list of top level officials not in the files will be shorter than the ones in the files.

It's probably a requirement to get a specific level position.

[–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

You that's how they select the higher up and control the higher up. The files secrecy weren't just about hiding Trump's actions, they were about having control over others in them. If it's public he loses control over someone, then that someone may talk....

Course we know how good that does anymore so unsure what the deal is.

To be clear I think it's a huge deal but not much has happened from the files so why should the US president really care?
