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.

I really hope Americans have learned something from this and that is to not elect demented pedophiles to be presidents FUCKING TWICE, third time's the charm right? right?? And while everyone else is trying to deescalate the situation he and his "top" officials are trying to make it as difficult as possible to reach a peaceful solution.
come on now you think the yanks have learned something? they haven't learned a thing for decades. Did they learn anything after Reagan? Bush Senior? Bush Jr twice? you honestly expect them to figure it out NOW?
A good percentage of the US population would elect Satan himself as long as he was "sticking it to the liberals."
Satan as in Lucifer? The light bringer? The symbol of knowledge and enlightened thought? That Satan?
Would be way better than what we have right now.
... and claim Satan was actually Jesus all along
It could be worse. We accidentally voted for an orangutan. But it could have been a WOMAN OF COLOR! Really dodged one there... /s
Be nice to orangutans, they're so chill. They can't help that a reviled wannabe dictator dyed himself orange for some stupid reason. :(
I'd vote for president actual-orangutan over of any of the garbage choices we keep getting.
A baked potato would cause less chaos than this monster.
The annoying orange would cause less chaos.
LOL c'mon...it is tho, right? Otherwise what's the point of the very specific comparison. 😂
The SIZE of those pupils too. Must be snorting something off the desk again.
He's getting a 3rd term. The American people are dead and oligarchs are stripping the country for parts
10 years ago i would call that a conspiracy theory but today... yeah...
Who knew rules mattered basically fuck all? Image the people who spent tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars studying US law, all for it to mean fucking nothing. Not to mention everyone who got a "secure government job" just to have a couple of coked up losers fire you and ruin your life.
I don't even really understand how people are being so apathetic? Was it the constant school shootings? Or maybe even social media? I don't get it.
Americans have no such self-awareness. The ones that do do everything in their power to leave the country or isolate themselves in communes and imply don't participate.
Tempting, to just go inna woods and run from society, but from what I've seen the ones that have self awareness are actually flooding the streets across the country with protests and getting teargassed and stuff.
I get that the internet can be a collective jar to sigh and vent into but let's not discount the sacrifices many are making because they believe tomorrow can be better.
