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.

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.

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.

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.

I think Trump wants them too. So his followers will go mad and start killing in his name.

They'd get snuffed out in seconds. Less moronic voters, less chance of them organizing after he gets his ass kicked again in the election.

Maybe Trump to stupid to know that. Also don't be so sure. Lot military men are Trumpers.

Lots of us are not, though, and we are both ready and willing to use deadly force against insider threats if the rules of engagement and deadly force compel us to. We swore oaths to defend against enemies both foreign and domestic and to refuse unlawful orders which are contrary to regulation and the Constitution.

Appreciate y'all. Hope it doesn't ever come anywhere close to that though.

Some of us took the oath against all enemies both domestic and foreign. And yeah, magats are definitely a threat.

Lots of military men may be tRumpers, but that doesn't mean they're ready to commit treason and die for him. Some sure, but I bet that number is much lower than they want you to think.
