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 got the Civilization pop up in my head with a leader telling you to move your troops away from their border or they will declare war on you.

I mean, reports show they have more than 15k at the border already, but Fox "News"...

Mexico agreed to do exactly what it's already doing and Fox "News" is too busy fellating the bloated orange turd on what a good special business boy he is. It's all quite pathetic.

So I don't get it. This news shouldn't be reported because...it makes Trump look good?

[–] demonmittenhands 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Are you dumb? They can "report" on whatever they want. But they didn't even note the fact that nothing changed because of this. That was all I said.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If nothing changed, then why did Mexico make this announcement? It sounds to me like they're sending 10k additional troops to the border, which is the exact opposite of "nothing changed".

You could have just answered 'Yes' to my 'Are you dumb?' question. Anyway I'm done trying to get anything across to you. GLHF.

Wait! I remember you! You're that guy that was too dishonest to admit that Elon (the Nazi) did a Nazi salute! It all makes sense now! I'm gonna go ahead and block you. Have a good life, or whatever. LOL!

That's a lot easier to say than "I was wrong, something has actually changed" huh?

With how things have been recently, Mexico could just say that and not deploy any, or deploy some for show and yank them days later. Verification of claims seems to be this administration’s weak point. No, I didn’t read the article to see if that’s mentioned, no I’m not going to click a Fox News link.

I don't blame you for not clicking the link, and neither will I, but you must see the irony in not verifying the claim made in the post title by not reading the post.

Good to know Mexico negotiates with terrorists.
