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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

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.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

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.

In the event he actually gets incarcerated, if he were to win the presidency he could sue claiming being locked up interferes with his constitutional duties as president. I think I know what this Supreme Court would decide on that

This Supreme Court has not always been friendly to Trump, nor his cronies, nor conservative causes. Their rulings are all over the place regarding politics. Here's a pile of liberal wins.

If you have the pile of links why not post them? This is just a screenshot of truncated headlines masquerading as a source.

One of the headlines is "Samuel Alito Is Mad You Can't Be Bigoted Towards Gay People Anymore." This could be an article about the current conservative supreme court protecting the rights of gay people, or it could be an article about how the supreme court is planning to strip rights from gay people. I don't know because you didn't actually post a source, you posted a screenshot of a list of truncated headlines.

Part of me wants to just leave America so I don't have to think about this stuff. Another part wants to stay and try to fix it.

But I'm tired.

There is no way in hell he will see a second of jail time. He needs to, but he won't.
