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.

I can think of about 11,780 things he did
Just one example:
But do explain why Trump didn't have the responsibility to mobilize the National Guard to defend the Capitol from a bunch of rioters with murder in their eyes.
It absolutely makes him responsible. What are you talking about? Next you'll be telling me the Uvalde cops have no responsibility when it came to that massacre despite waiting outside and doing nothing.
He wasn't solely responsible. That doesn't mean he doesn't share in the responsibility.
Whether or not someone is in jail is irrelevant. The Constitution does not stipulate that a conviction is necessary.
Again, the Constitution does not require a conviction.
To remove Trump from the ballot. Which doesn't require him to have been convicted of anything to remove him. I'm not sure why this is so confusing.
Removing him from the ballot. See the headline of this post.
I'm not sure why you think being removed from a ballot necessarily involves being convicted of a crime, but that seems to be where you're stuck.
Why do we keep going in circles here?
The trial is to remove him from the ballot.
It doesn't matter whether or not the January 6 trial finds him guilty. The Constitution does not require him to be convicted in order to remove him from the ballot.
They aren't trying him. Trump is not on trial in this Minnesota case.
I think the whole problem stems from you just not reading the article:
True. And yet Trump is still not a defendant in either suit. So he is not on trial.
Nope. It's a lawsuit. Lawsuits are not about guilty verdicts. How do you not even know that?
