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.

MODERATORS
And Kamala refused to say whether babies can be aborted at 9 months. Politicians being politicians.
EDIT: She didn’t respond to the Chinese tariffs question either. Stop glorifying politicians. None of them are being straight with you, because they’re playing the fence for votes. You can admit that politicians are bad AND you can still support and vote for them.
That's an amazingly stupid take from someone who apparently didn't watch the debate.
Trump claimed that babies were being aborted at 9 months and after they were born. This is a lie he repeats over and over at rallies that you apparently do watch. The moderators made it clear that that was illegal in all 50 states.
Why would Harris need to debunk something insanely stupid that the moderators already debunked?
Trump kept saying abortion after 9 months, they put the baby aside and decide it's fate. They execute the baby. And the debate just kept going on.. how in hell can the debate just keep going on after that?
Sane response would be to "wait what?!" Stop everything wtf are you talking about?
Abortions after birth?
Yeah that's called murdering an infant.
Pls, provide the sources you obviously have on this.
We're in a thread that's discussing the former president of the US actually claiming shit like this, so no, there's really nothing you could say that would "make it obvious".

I think you're in denial about how fucked up US politics is.
Once again, I remind you that a former president, in a presidential debate, claimed these things. So it doesn't matter if you're talking about them jokingly, he wasn't.
"I'll make it obvious that I'm trolling", you said just in your previous comment.
You can't, because of the reality we live in.
How is this hard for you to understand? US politics is so absurd that there is literally nothing you could write about it which would be obviously untrue.
"Just because it's illegal doesn't mean it doesn't happen"
Several times now I've tried explaining this. No matter how much you jeered and winked mentally while posting that, the world (or US politics rather) is in such a state, that there's no way of differentiating that from someone who actually was serious with it, since those people do actually exist.
I'm really not. The point is that nothing you say after that really matters, unless you've put in a direct mark that it's humour, ie a ";)" or the more commonly used "/s".
Otherwise, it is literally impossible to tell if you're serious. I've repeated this like a dozen times now, how are you still finding it hard to understand?
At the rate we're going, it's always too soon.
The moderator answered that, because it was a moronic question to ask.
Was that a legit question?
The answer seems kinda obvious.
Because it's not a thing.
An abortion at 9 months is to remove a dead baby from the whomb (leaving it in there kills the mother too). Babies die in utero.. it's horrible but happens.
Same as with babies that are born with previously undiagnosed developmental or birth defects that turn out not to be viable.. it's horrible but it happens.
Keep messing with medical care for political reasons and more mothers and babies will die..
Noone is removing a viable baby and then killing it. But since every accusation is a confession, I'm now worried about republicans.
She rolled her eyes at the claim. That was enough. Only idiots who were going to vote for Trump anyway believe that.
The only one vying for babies to be abortable at 9 months is this god fellow in the form of miscarriages.
