Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The lack of proof?
What “proof” do you hold to believe the “official narrative” over what I said really happened? Where is your own proof for the alternative narrative you believe?
What is so hard to believe about someone acting on their own beliefs to try to kill one of the most hated and divisive people in our present time in history.
Or why is it hard to believe that the SS failed in their duty to actively protect the president or president elect. Not like that hasn't happened in US history ever. (Regan, Kennedy, Lincoln...).
Easier to believe the conspiracy I guess.
Crooks was well-noted as a passionate righty. He had trump signs in his home yard the day he was murdered.
He was a friendless loner who went to the gun range frequently. Crooks had been in a Blackrock/Xe promo a handful of years earlier.
For “some reason,” trump’s SS said the school roof where Crooks was murdered was “outside their perimeter,” even though it was in full view of the rally. Since the SS knew this, why would they allow Crooks to be seen by the public on the school roof with a gun for approximately ten minutes before the SS killed Crooks? Because Crooks was “security help.” And there was a guy in black on the watertower behind Crooks during the shooting. This is documented by multiple witnesses.
At least you laid out some actual facts here, not just believe me bro it's a conspiracy.
Still flimsy assumptions here.
Just as much reason to assume he snapped and acted independently as a loner like you described and is the normal mo for assassins in the past. And that SS is still has gaps in their security.
You can literally see that trump’s SS was set up facing Crooks before the shooting. Crooks was in full view of trump’s SS where he was positioned on the school roof.
I watched trump rallies all summer. They took a week-long break before Butler, and at the preceding rally, trump told an OANN reporter, “We’ve got something big planned for Butler, you don’t wanna miss it.” What was big? The giant fakenews immigration graphic. When trump gave everyone the cue to turn to the right, that’s when Crooks & Comperatore got murdered for trump’s staged photo op.
