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.

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.

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.

The scuttlebutt in DC circles is the cocaine was a USSS agent's and they are covering it up.

Well if there is one group we can trust it is annoymous sources from beltway insiders.

Nice use of scuttlebutt.

It was quietly returned to the rightful owner.

We had evidence collected but then Steve had a bit. Then Gary had a go at it. Mark got a nose bleed after his line. So then Carl, naturally, had to make sure it wasn’t murderous cocaine and had himself a bump. Then we all did one together, you know, for team building and what not.

Well, in the end, all the evidence has somehow, magically disappeared…right under our noses. We’re all very shocked. Gary’s a bit jittery.

Because, as we know, every square inch of that place isn't under surveillance.

[–] zpm 8 points 1 year ago

I know warehouses and office spaces with cameras that capture literally everything with off the shelf devices. How can they not have at minimum 2MP 22FPS of every square inch of that space. I simply don't understand.

If it had been anthrax or something awful, a bomb, an empty pipe.... They have no way of knowing who put it there? Absurd.

[–] Son_of_dad 7 points 1 year ago

Seems kinda silly. I know they HAVE to investigate, but I'd imagine that once they realized it was cocaine and not anthrax, things would just fizzle out like this.

My god, who the fuck cares? Why does this even matter?

[–] BloodSlut 5 points 1 year ago
