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.

Do it so he resigns, and then drop the nomination so he's out of both positions.

You can take away his titles... but you can never take away his fancy boots and his deep love of thigh food.

This old Shitfisher took his bagpipes down to the river and he played his pipes in hopes that the sh*tfish would rise up out of the water. But not one shitfish rose, Julian. So he took a shitnet and threw it in the river and, lo, soon he drew it forth filled with shitfish. Then he took his bagpipes and then he played them again and all the shitfish jumped up in the shitnet. 'Oh, you dance now when I play,' said the Shitfisher. And then the little old shitfish spoke up in the end and he said, 'when you're in a man's power, you must do as he bids you.' Shitnets, Julian, and Shitpower.

Shit puppets. The lot of 'em.

Can we get him to keep changing his mind after his picks resign from their previous positions? I find it pretty funny, the silver lining to the shitstorm that is him picking the worst human for each position.

Can we stop with the news articles about what Trump thinks? Jesus, are journalists in his brain? Come on.

Either way, we get a defense secretary who really loves the idea of violating the law and basic human rights when it comes to "the enemy."

I bet Donnie wants Ronnie to two finger eat pudding out of his arse to get the job.

I'm just picturing one of those episodes of M*A*S*H where they leave Frank Burns in charge.

This is an improvement, right?

Sure, in that a 5 on the stool chart is an improvement over diarrhea. Still isn’t ideal.

I give him two Mooches, three tops.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I honestly can't decide if that be worse or not.
