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.

MODERATORS
If Republicans had even a single ounce of integrity, they would be demanding he resign.
But they would rather have an openly corrupt judge that votes their way on every single than to allow Biden to nominate an honest moderate.
I'm not sure about the majority but my dad has this mentality that liberals are the corrupt ones and you're delusional if you think Republicans are corrupt in any way.
Showing him this new from many different sites only results in "the libs are behind this and just trying to discredit the other side." (But an article on a conservative site that can't be found anywhere else is completely legit) There's no reasoning with that type because reasoning isn't there anymore.
I'm sorry that this cult has poisoned your dad.
My best friend of 20+ years has also had the Trump lobotomy.
You can reason people out of positions they didn't reason themselves into.
On the plus side, I haven't had a great relationship with him my whole life. I've cut him off from my life several times and the only reason I started talking to him again was because he seemed different (from previous issues between us) at his dad's funeral. He has at least followed my stipulations I set if he wants to continue to talk to me.
Sorry to hear about your best friend. Hopefully it's still one of those good relationships 'as long as politics don't come up' kind of thing. But that's a difficult one nowadays.
If they had integrity, he wouldn't have been appointed in the first place.
