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.

The Wisconsin electors haven't been charged
Yet
Thanks Josh kaul.
What a waste he's been
If he can make a convincing case that he was tricked into doing it then it's unlikely he'd be put in prison.
They all knew what they were doing.
Or just don't sign important government documents if you don't understand them.
Two hilarious take-aways from this story: Anderson Cooper: I mean, it's not exactly a profile in courage.
and this
Anderson Cooper: Did you know what Chesebro looked like? Alesha Guenther: So he had actually sent me a selfie.
One sad take-away: Anderson Cooper: You're saying you were scared? Andrew Hitt: Absolutely. Anderson Cooper: Scared of Trump supporters in your state? Andrew Hitt: It was not a safe time. If my lawyer is right, and the whole reason Trump loses Wisconsin is because of me, I would be scared to death.
Whether he is exaggerating or lying about how he felt, it's really depressing that I wouldn't be surprised if his life really were in danger from Trump supporters.
EDIT: Forgot to finish my last sentence.
Was it just me, or was this “interview” impossible to read? Was this written or transcribed by AI?
Yeah, it looks like they transcribed both the interview AND the video clips spliced in-between interview questions. In a video world, that flows smoothly because you can see when there is a change in scene. In text, though, it's just a weird change in font that doesn't really pull you out of the interview mode.
It’s easy to believe they were manipulated fools. They still committed the crime but hopefully those who orchestrated it are also brought to justice
