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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

Ah. I should have put words like that into Trump's mouth. Well, I can now. The press conference...
"So - you gotta get there early. Really, really early. 'Cause of you don't - you still gotta pay. First come - first served. Right? Right. It's capitalism. If you don't eat you still have to wait in line and give them money. It's the law. "
"President Trump - an executive order is not the law."
"Before now - maybe true. But now I am the law." He signals at his goons. "Throw that guy out. Way out. Bad reporter. Very, very bad. " The goons rush over and roughly manhandle the reporter like bouncers at a club pouncing on a violent drunk. The reporter yells has he's removed from the room surprisingly quickly. In the meanwhile the press core is busy pretending to not really understand what's happening. Nobody else yells out in protest or does anything - of course.
"Now. Anybody got a good question. Remember - good question. Not a bad question. Barron told me 'Or they get the hose again.' I don't know what that means. But I like it. I like it a lot."
"I have a question about tariffs. May I ask it."
"See? Respect. You behave - no hose. Misbehave and big bad hose."
