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 all the cookers were going on about "Save the children"?
It’s never about the children.
Remember when all the liars pretended to care about Palestinian children and yet somehow voted for Jill Stein or stayed at home? I do.
The 60 to 0 is so abrupt in the noise they made, I'm starting to wonder how significant a portion of that cohort was just bots and troll farms
Yeah I think many of them were not people with real opinions. Because that opinion was idiotic. Ignoring the consequences one claims to be avoiding takes a special kind of stupid
I think they were real people because I regularly get into arguments with those dumbasses. They also always have the same bullshit easily proven wrong logic.
Fuck, two people today told me "Not voting isn't inaction." Like how fucking stupid do you have to be to think literally not doing anything is going to make something happen?
Do you honestly believe there's no message when people refuse to participate in a system they've lost faith in?
There's a message, but by refusing to participate you are unable to enact change. It's literally inaction. You've done nothing. In fact, they want you to do nothing. They do so much to pass voter suppression though loopholes and here you are, just handing it to them.
Congratulations, you suppressed yourself.
I voted. But just to piss you off I won't next time. I don't want anything to do with a system that makes people this self righteous.
"I'm not doing anything, that'll show them."
Please. My state is going to go blue every single time. Voting here is about as productive as masturbating and a lot less fun.
In swing States (where the election was decided), voter turnout was almost the same in 2024 as in the last presidential election. So you can stop repeating the debunked claim that voters who "stayed home" are to blame for Trump's victory.
That's why I blame people that didn't vote OR voted for Trump.
Paywall
Here's the relevant quote from that link: "It’s true that overall turnout fell in much of the country, but in the battleground states that actually decided the presidential election, turnout was roughly where it was from four years ago. And it’s clear as day that a bunch of people changed their minds."
That pokes a hole in their narratives they made up in their heads, so they won't look at the data that proves them wrong.
Amazing how they never blame Libertarians who on every ballot, but only those on the left of their favorite party.
Who doesn't blame libertarians? More than one group can be to blame.
Any and all of them, anytime someone mentions third party the people reply with greens to get mad at, and never Libertarians.
From the article ...
A Yale source said the US state department deleted the evidence which would have been used as part of rescue efforts to get the children home to Ukraine. It would also have been used to prosecute those behind their abductions – including Russian president Vladimir Putin.
”It is unclear whether it was by accident or intent, but it may reveal or it may cause potential criminal liability for the Trump administration, given international prohibitions against the destruction of war crimes evidence,” the Yale insider told The Independent.
It is unclear whether it was by accident or intent
Lmao. It's as clear as a pane of glass...
Ooh, nifty wanton destruction of war crimes evidence sounds like a charge that has legs.
Fascists of a feather fuck up the world together.
It looks like Trump has moved from Russian asset to Russian agent.
🌎👩🚀🔫👩🚀
To the governor of a Russian Oblast.
Oh, come on! Let's be generous and call it an autonomous republic.
always has been
This is so upsetting
Throw it on the pile.
Boom. Something this heinous certainly will cause a drop in egg prices.
I can already smell the omelets. All it took was war crimes.
How does cutting funding end up deleting data? Unless they where hosting this stuff on fed systems they shouldn't have been able to touch it, much less delete it.
As for the 'maybe it was accidental', I'd laugh if it wasn't so painful to reiterate what kind of sociopath we have running things.
How does cutting funding end up deleting data?
Per the article, they were explicit deletions.
