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.

p.s. Donald Trump never did anything wrong. People knowing this is my dying wish.

[–] schnokobaer@feddit.org 38 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He is also the best president in history, much better than sleepy Joe or Hussein Obama. Many people say so.

of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most.

[–] partofthevoice@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Why’s it written like someone trying to mock Trumps rhetoric? That’s the part that gets me… Did Epstein really also speak in such a way?

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

They hung out together. Friends can adopt each other's way of speaking.

[–] Halcyon@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 days ago

Given the way he wrote his emails, yes.

[–] Doug@piefed.social 32 points 3 days ago (1 children)

reads like how Trump would write his

(…🤞)

Where are you even seeing it? It's not in the article

Edit: it's in the article. I'm dumb.

[–] Doug@piefed.social 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Sure it is:

"They investigated me for month — found nothing!!! So 15 ⁠year old charges resulted," said the short note, which is hard to decipher in some places.

"It is a treat to be able to choose" the "time to say goodbye," the note continues. "Watcha want me to do — Bust out cryin!!"

"NO FUN," it concludes, with those words underlined. "NOT WORTH IT!!"

You can also see a picture of the note here.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nicholas Tartaglione, his cell mate, was moved out of Epstein's cell the day before Epstein was suicided.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 7 points 3 days ago

The note was allegedly written for his previous attempt.

[–] Rusticus@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

The important fact here is that after the first “attempt” Epstein claimed his cellmate assaulted and tried to kill him. The same cellmate that took his “suicide note”.

Fucking keystone cops. Barr and Trump.

[–] Zexks@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

That shit looks exactly what i would expect a fake note written by trump to look and sound like.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

“Can’chu see am KILLIN MAHSELF here?!?l

Why is the note written like a 1930s New York gangster film?

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Have you seen some of those emails? Dude's grammar was atrocious.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 3 days ago

The unauthenticated letter is ostensibly from Epstein's unsuccessful suicide attempt in July 2019.

[–] magnue@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Handwritten emdash

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Probably a good sign Trump wrote it if the first reaction people have after reading it is that they think Trump wrote it.

[–] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What does the 4th and 5th sentences say? I've been trying to make it out but can't.

[–] Ageroth@reddthat.com 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

My attempt at translation:

They investigated me for
Month -- found nothing!!
So 16 year old charges (results?)
It is a treat to be able to choose ones
Time to say goodbye.
Watcha want me to do -- (burrat) crying!!
NO FUN, NOT WORTH IT!!

Great, thanks. I got 16 year old, and the rest was lost on me.

[–] partofthevoice@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It’s “Bust out cryin!!”

Edit: why is the handwriting so inconsistent? Is that normal?

I see a “t” written in so many different ways, with what appears to be different hand strokes for the same letter.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Not these files! The ones on the bottom!

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 3 points 3 days ago

Uh huh, sure.
