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.

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.

Earlier I made the prediction that Mr. Trump wouldn't pardon anyone from J6, as they had outran their usefulness to him.

Well, sadly, I stand corrected.

They have PR usage

Your logic isn't wrong. It's just that the truth is they are useful to him. Not only because they've already shown they will break the law for him, but also because it's a signal to everyone else who follows him that they can break the law

You can't buy loyalty like getting someone out of federal prison loyalty. They were running through walls for him before for free. He's going to start his own little redneck SS.

He now has 1500 evangelist to indoctrinate others to the cause.
