    Instead, we’ll ensure that we tear down the ones you tried to build and we’ll prosecute your friends and family for the countless crimes they’ve committed.

        Only vote for candidates that say they will.

        If that doesn’t work, break the system that doesn’t serve us.

        Stop being so meek. Reach out to others. Radical change requires radical action.

      I’ve replaced dump or shit with trump, and I’ve been calling my bathroom the oval office. As in “I’ve got a take a trump, I’ll be in the oval office” The monuments to this piece of shit are made of porcelain and are already installed in all our homes.

          Not the one in my car. It slowed about 1 minute per 2 months.

          I stopped changing it for daylight savings to see how far off it would get, driven rarely as it was, and the answer is that it seems to be internally maintained even when the car is off because even months I didn’t drive contributed to the lag.

        He’s not. He’s doing it because he thinks nobody will literally build monuments to him. Not because they think he’s an asshole, but because he thinks no one BUT HIM will be able to do it.

        He’s a narcissist through and through. Taking things into his own hands because it’s the only way he’ll maintain power and control.

      I don’t know, but my 2 yaers old does this too: “you NEVER let me have chocolate!”

      My partner is a clinical psychologist. She says this is one of those lines that gives away a patient’s narcissistic personality disorder diagnosis. Because a narcissist never feels about themselves how they need others to feel about them.

            Tango was saying that it’s sad that people probably will, in fact, build monuments to trump after he’s gone. You said that makes you happy rather than sad. ddplf was asking if you meant what that sounded like, i.e., that you were happy some people would still be sincerely celebrating trump after his death.

                I figured that was probably it. At the point I commented I didn’t see your other reply; you may have written it while I was composing mine. I was just trying to help explain the conflict.

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, 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.
