Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Nancy Pallozzi, Jefferson County Republican Party Chair, said in a statement posted on social media that the group had initially thought the timing for the fundraiser was “perfect,” since the South Dakota governor’s book, "No Going Back," comes out soon. But attitudes have changed towards Noem, as examples of her cruelty towards animals continue to make headlines.

lmao, i love republican high office aspirants' book titles.

  • Mitt Romney with No Apology: The Case for American Greatness
  • Sarah Palin with Going Rogue: An American Life
  • Mike Pence with So Help Me God

they try to go hard and be some call to arms, but it invariably comes across as weak and feckless, or just plain unhinged. i particularly enjoy the rhetorical genre of a prospective leader insisting that their uncompromising certainty of their rightness is their most valuable and critical asset as a leader. like follow me, even if we make a wrong turn, i will stay the course.

the book title, telling the anecdote about blowing away your puppy and then doubling down on it when the reaction is bad. fuckin' A

NO GOING BACK

i hope she rides this story all the way to toxic obscurity and blames the dog for ruining her career when she's 70.

NO GOING BACK

Seriously mixed messaging from the party behind "Take America Back" and "Make America Great Again."
