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
FWIW Bush Jr. was showered with abuse and had eggs thrown at him and he had to abandon the traditional walk to the Capitol at his inauguration, and he was deeply unpopular at the start of his term. Only 911 bailed him out.
But it never should have even gotten that far. The people should have revolted and did the election over again.
If there's one thing I've learned it's that the revolution will not be televised, because it isn't coming.
Your best hope is to pray the aliens come and take us away from this place, leave the corpos, let them do with the Earth what they want.
This is not a realistic thing to hope for.
The revolution is whenever people quit doing whatever the tv tells them and start unionizing/growing their network of relations to demand change.
So then it isn't coming.
I remember demanding revolution as a college kid on Reddit and getting torn out for it. It's part of why I hate Reddit. And of course I was right, but they didn't want to listen because they either secretly agreed with the authoritarianism or they only cared about being able to keep going to McDonald's and 7-11.
Our people have turned out to be so disgusting and disappointing. I honestly wonder if I shouldn't expatriate.
This world is lost, all that's left is to hope for the next life to be more than a fantasy.
Unfortunately I've heard it all before "The Right is just being given enough rope to hang themselves, these are the death cries of an old system" or "Eh, Donald Trump's a joke, those really in command already have it set for Hillary" or "People will revolt this time for REALSIES! They've just gone too far THIS TIME!" or "We'll find a way if it comes to that."
I pray for death, and for death to not be the end, the world is already lost.
