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.

This makes me incredibly sad. We can't have shit in this country due to pathetic and incompetent governance. What's worse is that it will take a generation of time for us to dig out of this hole even if we start moving 100% in the right direction, today. It makes me sick.
You're being way too charitable about that. The problem isn't incompetence; it's active and deliberate malice.
Brought to you by the people who invented 'slavery.' Slavery, for when you don't want to do it yourself and youre a soulless husk of a person.
What do you think would solve it?
Taking our heads out of the sand is a start. I would go into more detail but I checked your profile and I don’t think I’ll convince you of anything so we will just leave it here. Not in the mood for an argument over the same shit that keeps happening in this country.
This is the right answer my friend. Don't feed the trolls
It's sad that you think you can't discuss anything because of your prejudice against what you imagine the other person is like. Just be brave and say what you want anyway. Snooping at people's profiles is a level of investment in this whole endeavor that I've never found worthwhile, so I don't recommend it.
Not a lot to gain by arguing with the dog that shits on your lawn.
Womp womp person with shitty comment history makes shitty comments and says "checking profile history is prejudice, very bad."
Next.
No, you failed to comprehend what I wrote actually. The point was that I don't give a fuck what you or anybody's comment history has in it. You can look at mine all day long and I don't give a fuck either. The point being, that only lame nerds waste their time doing that.
I'm proud of my comments, please read and examine every one of them if you want. I personally choose not to waste my time on that lame bullshit though because I'm a cool dude with better things to do.
Famously said by cool people, right? Womp womp, the sequel.
Yep, by cool people who don't give a fuck about what you or anybody thinks. I'm living my best life out here, how about you?
Nothing the elite that run the coutnry want us to do. They want us poor, uneducated, uncoordinated, scared, and fighting with each other.
