I tried not to make rules for this community but y'all wylin'. I'll keep it quick and to the point:

  1. Mildly biased headlines and articles are fine, but please do not share opinion pieces or strongly slanted articles here.

  2. Reporting content that does not break those rules prohibited.

  3. Baiting and drama farming is prohibited. If you're not sure whether or not you're in this category, ask yourself if what you're about to post or comment adds to the discussion of the topic at hand, or if you are trying to get a rise out of someone, make bad-faith accusations against one's character, etc. There's some leeway here because I have a sense of humor though, so don't let this rule scare you.

  4. Endorsing or supporting extrajudicial, nonexecutive or nonwar violence is prohibited.

  5. Using slurs is expressly prohibited.

  6. Using the Poisoning The Well fallacy to attack sources shared in a post is presently not allowed (this rule may change in the future, and isolated instances will not subject you to a permanent ban)

I've said this whole time he never would be punished. Even if he didn't win, this was always going to be the outcome.

I'm torn. I don't agree with this verdict, but the system says he's guilty. On one hand, we shouldn't give the rich or politicians special treatment, so there's that side of it. On the other hand, his overwhelming support in the 2024 election certainly serves as a referendum on what the public thinks about the lawfare he's under right now, so I see that side of it too.
