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.

MODERATORS
We’re making history today. A tremendous history, okay? No one’s seen anything like it. We’re standing here at the Rubicon, a little river, not a big one, but it’s about to become a big deal. A huge deal. Why? Because once we cross it, we’re going to make Rome great again. Believe me, it's going to be tremendous.
The Senate? You know them. They’re corrupt, they’re weak, and quite frankly, they’re failing. Same with Lyin' Praetor Harris. Everyone knows it. The people know it, the soldiers know it. They sit there, with their fancy togas, eating grapes, while the rest of us, the real Romans, are out here fighting the real battles. It’s disgraceful. But that’s going to change, and it’s going to change big league.
Now, they’ll say I’m breaking the rules. ‘Oh, Consul Trump can’t cross the Rubicon. That’s against the law!’ Well, guess what? The rules are rigged! They’re rigged against us, the people, the soldiers who built this empire. And let me tell you, I’ve dealt with rules before. I know how to win. We’re going to cross this river and we’re going to win so much, you’re going to get tired of winning.
The Senate? They’re scared. They’re afraid of what I’ll do. They’re afraid I’ll drain the Tiber of all their corruption, all their bad deals. And you know what? They should be scared. Because when we get to Rome, it’s going to be different. Very different. The Republic? A mess. But I'm going to fix it. These so-called leaders, they say I’m a dictator, they say I’m doing something unprecedented. Well, was it unprecedented when Marius took over? When Sulla marched on Rome? No. And you know what? They weren’t half as successful as me. They weren’t even close. We’ve got the best legions, the best generals, the best people. No one builds legions like we do. It’s a fact.
So here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to cross that Rubicon, and once we’re in Rome, we’re going to give the power back to the people. Back to you. Not the crooked politicians, not the elites. We’re going to rebuild the temples, strengthen the economy, protect the borders—you know the barbarians, they’re pouring across. It’s a mess. But we’ll fix it. We’re going to build a great wall across the Rhine. And who’s going to pay for it? The Gauls. Believe me.
This is way too coherent
