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.
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.

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.
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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.

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.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
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.
Who would've thought that offering "loans" with no oversight, then mysteriously "forgiving" those loans, with no audit, would result in an enormous volume of theft? Almost like the theft was the intended goal...
Who knew that a program implemented by Trump would be fraught with so much fraud?

and then when its investigated and identified under biden the gop acts like its bidens fault because finding out was under his administration. Makes me think of trump being mad at all the covid testing and data collection.

The chasm in sentencing is beyond understanding ... a brown man steals $85k and gets 3 years while a white doctor steals $5.5 million and gets 8 years. How does that make any sense at all?
I wonder what the chances are that private Florida island will be washed away by a hurricane within the next nine years
Eh. More than likely he won't have the money to develop it.
How do you get electricity out there? Plumbing?
Who cuts down those trees?
It could be nice for a little shack, but that's about it.

It's gonna be hard to arrange those services from prison, when the guy's broke
Guy’s gotta have a hobby.
