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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


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.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

It's not that exciting. He does it on purpose, rather than a tantrum.

He likely does it because he never thought about what his response should be when asked about his conviction and jail sentence.

Rule 1 of running for office -- be aware of and ready for the hard questions, 'cause they WILL be asked. If you don't want to answer them = don't run for PUBLIC office.

I would have thought that would be self-explanatory but I guess it's not.

Except that didn't happen at all. If you watch the video it was a stunt. The line of questioning had nothing to do with him.

Definitely scripted but still weird af

Here's the question- was it a trial run for Trump in the debate with Biden? Let this guy do it, see how it plays with the MAGA types, then plan on Trump doing the same thing.

I'm not trying to sound conspiratorial, this would be a pretty standard political move.
