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 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. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

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.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

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.

That failure may have violated ethics rules, legal experts say.

Throw it on the pile.

I feel like I’ve seen a million of these “oh he might have done this” and none of them have been a “gotcha” moment. Agreed throw it on the pile. This is going to be a god awful election year.

This is a potential "gotcha" moment for his lawyers, because they may face disbarment. Plenty of Trump's lawyers have actually faced disbarment, he leaves behind him a perpetual wake of disbarment.

Faced? Several have been disbarred, with more in the pipeline.

The court system could just follow our ex president around. Anyone and everyone he talks to more than a few seconds should immediately be investigated because the odds that they're committing notable crimes is really high. They're just all criminals because no one else will give this traitorous sex offender the time of day.

I would never be more happy to be proven wrong!

Notable that this is the lawyers being in trouble here for breaking ethics rules that they agreed to follow prior to beginning law school.
