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.

MODERATORS
This is amazing and they should definitely do it!
Trump has a knack for picking the most incompetent people for the most important jobs.
Mostly, because the "competence" he looks for in most jobs is how good they are at kissing his ass.
Now, I don't know if anyone else has noticed or not yet, but the closer someone is to Trump, the worse they will manage anything he puts them in control of.
Putting his daughter-in-law, someone at least as stupid as his kids as she was dumb enough to marry one of them, in charge of the RNC would be a gift to the Democrats!
If she gets the position here's what we can expect:
No one but Trump is getting any money, so no budget for Local, Senate, and House races.
Most of it will be sent straight into Trump's legal black hole to never be seen again.
A lot will go into Trump's personal bank account, as the party's money IS Trump's money.
She's crooked enough to be part of the family so she'll likely skim some off the top for herself.
She's likely not at all qualified for this position, so she's likely to pull even less money than the previous chair.
The widening of the funding gap between Trump and the rest of the party is likely to sow resentment against him with the Senate and House as their own campaign funding dries up.
It's obvious nepotism, but from this side of the aisle I can see no downside. Let her have the job.
Gets even better. One way or another, Trump is not going to last another decade. He's too old and eats McDonald's hamburgers regularly. The nature of cults of personality is that they disintegrate as soon as the personality at its center is gone. Getting his claws even deeper into the GOP would only help bring the whole GOP down with him.
