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.

Headline slightly sensationalised compared to article content. But he did say he’d go to Venezuela if he loses.

In the context of what he was talking about, it seemed like that was his weird way of trying to make Venezuela sound like a better place than what America would be under Kamala Harris. Best thing you can do really is just completely ignore this guy because he thrives on attention, negative or positive.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 8 points 2 years ago

Does Venezuela give consent? I guess that's never mattered before anyway.

Does he know they don’t speak English there?

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago

He barely speaks English as it is

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd ask him to promise, but I know what his promises are worth.

Yep, I'm not clicking that. So the headline will have to do

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Tabloids are not gonna work for me

Mr. Trump, you don't need to run there, start early and you can walk.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Put him on a bus.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can we all chop in for a ticket to send him now, save him the trouble of trying to come up with nicknames for Harris and Walz that they don't turn into positives? Like "Tampon Tim" ...."He's going to stop the red wave!" Which is how Trump ended up building Walz.

Edit: "chip" in. Economy of course.

[–] Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

I'd rather this become terms for jailing him now. Sounds like a potential flight risk ahead of sentencing for his 34 felony counts.

[–] mathemachristian@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

That would be awesome he'd get a fair'trial there Im sure.

[–] Otakulad@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

If he is being serious, please take all the MAGA Kool aid drinkers with you.

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Haven't the Venezuelans to deal with enough shit?

He is like "Who around here is the most down, so I can kick them even more?"

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Of all the times for that treasonous orange shit to lie, why did it have to be this one?

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

My question would be, "why wait?"

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Interpol being notified? Escaped felons should be

[–] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I've heard this before. What a baby.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Wonder what Venezuela has to say about that.

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I bet he'll run for president there too, and then fail, and then flee to another country that's most likely allied with Venezuela.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago

Is that a promise?

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 3 points 2 years ago

Did he too old to remember he's a convicted criminal?

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

In context it was more of a stupid joke:

he'll have to go to venezuela because its safer now that they sent all their criminals to the US
