News
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.

Hilariously this is practically a parallel of that exact situation.
yeah except this is about people who rape children, and way more americans are ok with it
Which is pretty fun. In the unlikely scenario I ever get to meet these bastards I can comfortably and calmly call them both traitors and cowards.
If they're going to great lengths to redact the content, then they know what they did is illegal. If they like doing things illegally, then they are criminals. But right now, they're in power. If they don't want to get punished, then make what was illegal, legal.
They won't do that, because they'd either get burned at the stake, or it ruins the pleasure of it for them. I think it's the latter. The rich want things to be inaccessible to the have nots.
There is a scummy side to humanity that nobody likes to see. I cannot speak for people who defend him repeatedly doing the indefensible: but tribalism is a helluva thing - and we could all do better to avoid it.
Personally? I hope he is dragged kicking and screaming into court where he will be exposed and punished as the traitorous irredeemable scum I believe him to be.
~~Politicians~~ People in positions of power need to be held to a higher standard and should be scrutinized relentlessly. There are some deep flaws in our system and one would hope that if any good were to come of all of this... we are able to repair the damage done and patch some of these holes (and learn from them.)
350 million people in the us. Only a handful are ever going to be in charge... damn right they better be model citizens. Wtf, america.
