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.

Remember when Trump said that Hillary was corrupt for accepting payment for speeches?

A screenshot of my local theater's website, showing seats sold (or not) for a prime time screening.

That single seat is an FBI agent ordered by Kash Patel to watch the movie while on duty so that theatres won't appear entirely empty. And before you ask: yes, the man has got a weapon, and, yes, he's considering making one last use of it.

I want treason charges during "war" time. Nothing less.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 2 points 1 hour ago

if you mean iran, that's not a war, that's a "military operation". easy mistake to make /s

"In a statement, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said, “Neither the President nor his family has ever engaged — or will ever engage — in conflicts of interest.”

How do these people tell these blatant lies with a straight face?

[–] stumpelrilzchen@feddit.org 6 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

They're not lies - they're "alternative facts".

In that same vein,

  • illegal wars of aggression are "special milliary operations"
  • people the U.S. does not want to grant POW status are "irregular combatants" (a term used for people locked up for decades in Guantanamo Gulag)
  • extrajudicial killings (e.g. via drone strikes) are "liquidations" or targets being "neutralised".
  • torture is "enhanced interrogation techniques".

I wish I were making this shit up, but most of this vocabulary is from the Bush era. That goes to ahow: while there are certain differences in both quality and quantity, blatant lies to the public have always been a hallmark of (U.S.) governments.

Renting out his wife to other men. Just like the old Jeffrey days.

to brett rattner one of epsteins clientele.

[–] stumpelrilzchen@feddit.org 3 points 3 hours ago

Didn't know the guy. Looked him up. Found this:

In 2017, numerous women in Hollywood came forward with allegations of rape and sexual assault by Ratner.[3] This resulted in his business deals and prospective film projects getting canceled or scrapped, with Warner Bros. Pictures and talent agencies distancing themselves from him, and with Ratner subsequently immigrating to Israel.

And this:

The director of the new documentary on US First Lady Melania Trump has appeared embracing a young woman in images released by the US Department of Justice on Friday.
Brett Ratner, who also directed the Rush Hour films and X-Men: The Last Stand, can be seen sitting on a sofa beside the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and two women whose identities have been obscured.

You really can't make this shit up!

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 4 points 6 hours ago

Aww, now that's some funny shit right there XD

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 42 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Funny how after opening weekend, nobody bothered talking about this documentary again, except to discuss the grifting behind it.

I wonder how many of the people who said they'd watch it only lasted 5 mins

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

heh. I didn't even bother pirating it.

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 2 points 40 minutes ago* (last edited 39 minutes ago)

Probably Nobody did. Even the people who watched it that said it was amazing probably won't be rewatching

Personally, Michelle Obama's documentary, I haven't seen but am interested. Any trump documentary would basically be just showing their narcissism. There is nothing I could learn from the trump family

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 10 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

There were a few brave souls on YT that did. Albeit, they knew what they were in for and it was really just to get content.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Yeah, but I hear Neil Breen is directing the sequel.

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Yeah. Remember when they all spent a week proclaiming that this documentary should win awards 😂

Turns out the documentary really wasn't that life changing as a lot of people were saying

Probably isn't even getting seeded on BitTorrent

those darn washing machines!

[–] NinthGladiator@lemmy.zip 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

You know, if everyone just denied his existence. I get tired of hearing or reading about it. My feed gets flooded with his face continuously sadly. There's more interesting news in the world than ol' gramps.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The only news I want to hear about Trump is his obituary.

[–] atx_aquarian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Well, now, hang on, what about eventual news of his incarceration?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 3 hours ago

That would do as an appetiser before the main course.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

I wonder if she has her next husband lined up yet.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

The movie no one saw? Cool.
