    Don’t give in to the threats, Dear Leader, be out in the open as publicly and vulnerably as possible. If you show fear instead of living your life as normal then the terrorists winTM! You should definitely take zero precautions against these threats, you certainly won’t regret taking zero precautions against these threats.

      The flags will be brought down and then replaced with the traditional “Yippie” flag on the day of his death.

        In fact, it’s inevitable. How could either side win anything from this? Unfortunately, the individual who desperately needs to lose will almost certainly face no consequences, as always.

      We’re rooting for the straits on Hormuz to reopen and whatever other chaos is rocking the oil markets to stop. Economic damage, especially on this scale, ends up in people dying from all sorts of causes in the US as well.

      I don’t particularly care if we get a little more egg on our face if it means pulling up out of this tailspin.

          As cathartic as it would be to know trump is dead, yeah you are probably right. It would be excellent though if he could be covertly killed by poison or something, and it look exactly like old age that killed him

          MAGA is a classic Cult of Personality, and Trump is the man. There is no #2, or even an obvious successor. Vance, Rubio, Don Jr, and others all see themselves as the heir apparent, but the MAGA rank & file only love Trump, and when he’s gone, most of them will fade away.

          Some may try to keep it together, but their hearts won’t be in it. 90% of the MAGA following will go away, leaving only Republicans who sold their souls for the worst president and the most prolific traitor in American history.

          When he croaks, the knives will come out, and the backstabbing will begin. I can’t wait.

          Well, yes? Cause it’s not like any of them can do anything to fpv on optic fiber. You can’t jam it, you can only hit it mid-air and it’s very unlikely. You don’t even need to be very close physically, about 5km radius ez, you don’t even need to be near at all when the assassination happens - place it on some roof beforehand and remote-control. It’s not like he doesnt show in public at all.

          Making one is just a question of skill and dedication. There are 1/3 trillion Americans. My conclusion: there aren’t lot of you truly dedicated to the cause of removing him.

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.
