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.

If he sucks enough Trump dick he'll be right out

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 33 points 9 months ago (2 children)

These were state charges, so Trump can't pardon him.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 39 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There have been a lot of "Trump can'ts" during his terms

For example, an insurrectionist can't run for office

Who’s gonna stop him? And I do mean that as a serious question.

No, but Trump can use his cult to put pressure on the judge and the jury.

"Sex pest," to me, is some creep that sends women unsolicited dick pics... This man is a serial rapist who systematically used his position of power to take advantage of countless women.

I think he goes beyond "sex pest"

Good, well done, but they used him as an scapegoat for all the others in that industry. Now its back to predatory practices as usual in Hollywood.

scapegoat

Set them free!

Oh same, honestly

[–] orclev@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Fun fact, this kind of mistake is known as an eggcorn.

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It took me a second to figure out that was a mistake for acorn.

Too bad intensive purposes is longer.

[–] rodneyck@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 months ago

oops, thanks.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 17 points 9 months ago

Third time's the charm? Maybe that's when he'll have a stroke mid-trial and become locked in his own body?

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He needs to die in prison.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I thought he was already dead, to be honest.

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 11 points 9 months ago

Kind of a strange title, considering most of the article actually talks about some of the jurors being bullies - threatening others with violence - and others not wanting to work with them because of it.

Let’s hope Trump doesn’t get wind of this. He’ll actually jump to save a fellow wealthy pedo

[–] Zugyuk@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

WTF, did they think he was a bottom? That makes assault really difficult

[–] DougHolland@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

When's his third trial? When you're rich, you can always buy another.
