news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Rarely I do think I remember hearing Republicans call something bipartisan to legitimate it, but it's absolutely true that they aren't lead by a coalition of people who claim to support X but then make the majority of their platform "compromising" to not do X because it's important to reach across the aisle. Kamala's thing about wanting a Republican in her cabinet is something I have never heard anything close to from a Republican (they might take aboard someone who happens to be a Democrat, but they aren't doing fucking quotas for supporting political "opponents").
Wanting a Republican in the cabinet is directly pulled from The West Wing
Having one branch of government controlled by the opposition is ideal if your opponent is on the books as your opponent but giving a (admittedly significant) mayoral slot to a small s socialist who is ostensibly on your side? Execute order 66 or whatever the code was to betray the Jedi. To get the point across with movies.
