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.
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.

In case you didn't RTFA: This is the grift
Trump's motto: Always Be Grifting
Make America Grift Always
Trump and his cronies want to privatize the world. That’s the end goal. Gut all government agencies and sell them off to Elon or some private equity firm. If you want to live in the future they’re building it’s gonna be pay to play. You want healthcare, pay for it. You want education, pay for it. You want oxygen, pay for it!
….and 76 million people voted for it. 76 million people have fucked over 260 million people all cause they drank the orange kool-aid.
From ChatGPT; I know it is lazy!
Here’s a parody of "White and Nerdy" called "Shady and Shifty", written to the tune of Weird Al's classic: "Shady and Shifty"
(To the tune of “White and Nerdy”)
(Intro)
They see me lyin’
My schemes are thriving
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Look at me so shady and shifty
(Verse 1)
First-class cons, yeah, that’s my mission
Got a fake ID and a forged prescription
Emails phishing, crypto missing
“Too good to be true” is my ammunition
I’m a smooth talker, spin a great tale
Sell you beachfront property up for sale
NFTs, pyramid schemes
Get rich quick, yeah, that’s the dream
I scammed your grandma, took her savings
Promises golden, but I’m just faking
Drop a fake link, then I’ll ghost ya
Too slick, I’m like a grifting virtuosa
Deceiving’s an art, and I’m Picasso
Write a fake check with a lotta zeroes
Skim the top like I’m making cream
Run my hustle, living the dream
(Chorus)
They see me lyin’
My schemes are thriving
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Look at me so shady and shifty
(Verse 2)
Social engineering, it’s all a game
Switch the card, redirect the blame
Wire fraud? Yeah, I’m the best
Fake charity with a suit and vest
Hiding in plain sight, charming and clever
Take what’s yours and make it mine forever
Ponzi pro, I stack the dough
Vanished offshore before you know
I sell snake oil like it’s pure gold
Convince you quick, no time to fold
Stock tips, insider flips
I’m cashing out, you're sinking ships
My scams go viral, my lies are fire
Got you clicking links like an eager buyer
From fake raffle prizes to bonus gifts
I’m the king of con, my grift’s legit
(Chorus)
They see me lyin’
My schemes are thriving
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Look at me so shady and shifty
(Bridge)
I know I’m shady, the law don’t faze me
I’ll find new marks if the game gets hazy
Dodging subpoenas, escaping fines
Makin’ my fortune while spinning lies
No morals here, it’s all survival
I’m on the move like I’m going viral
From cons to scams, it’s my domain
Shifty forever, just call me insane
(Outro)
They see me lyin’
My schemes are thriving
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Tryna catch me shady and shifty
Look at me so shady and shifty
