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.

If Trump was anywhere close to as strong and admirable as he claims to believe himself to be, he'd freely offer respect and honor to Carter, secure in the knowledge he had plenty to spare.

But instead he's a pathetic, weak, frightened child, terrified at the thought that someone else might get some respect when he so desperately needs it himself.

Trump exhibits zero-sum thinking- if someone else is getting something, that means he is losing something. Thus if Carter is getting respect, Trump thinks he is losing respect.

[–] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Ironically, I lost respect for him because he lacks empathy, but we are the minority apparently.

[–] graycube@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Respect is not a zero sum game.

Constantly proving what a massive piece of old fat shit he is and somehow people either don't care, make excuses for him or just don't see it.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

I assure you, they see it. That's why they like him.

I'm flying the flag at half staff for the next four years.

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago

Upside down even.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When do we start flying them upside-down? Are we there yet?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

Such a baby.

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 years ago

Man, what a prick!

Some american flags in L.A. are probably currently on fire. I wonder if Trump is going to claim all Californians are terrorists who proudly burn the flag and hate America.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

he fucking would too. he's such a piece of shit.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 7 points 2 years ago

Of course. If it's not about him he does not give a single shit. Except to rage about how he's not the center of attention.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

What do you call Trump's dick at half mast?
