Rules:

1. Be civil


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.


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. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


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.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


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.


9. No link shorteners.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

The doctor should agree enthusiastically to show up. And then answer every question with 'cant answer. Patient doctor confidentiality'

Or do the Ronny Jackson thing and declare Biden to be the most fit president in U.S. history with the highest IQ and that he will live to 250 years old.

That's a great idea. Questions like "Why do you protect the addled mind of dementia riddled Biden?" will be answered really well by this...

Remember who would watch these shows and how much meat the right wing pundits would get from that.

I recall a slew of right wing anti-mask, anti-vaccine, pro-pandemic nutjobs screaming "You're violating my HIPAA!!!" in stores, restaurants, hotels, and random public spaces. I know the GOP doesn't care about hypocrisy (fascists revel in exerting power through this), but that's what they're doing here.

You're forgetting the part where they couldn't breathe through a mask. You know, the reason we all suffocated and died under mask mandates.

That's right! The CO2 poisoning. We did all die from that. Just like doctors and nurses do in surgery every surgery.

There were also the ones yelling about their refusal to wear lingerie on their faces.

Technically, most of them were screaming about their HIPPA rights.

Which was what turned it from depressing to hilarious.

ROFL They are scraping the bottom of the barrel to secure a potential win this November. It stinks of desperation and I do believe it will hurt them at the polls. We can’t survive a GOP victory and they know it. Just look at some of the poorest states, they are Red States.

Doesn't matter if people don't get out and vote.

HIPAA laws ftw! Sweet irony

And Trump's doctors will do the same, right? Right?

Absolutely no demand from a conservative should be acknowledged or addressed. It is not possible for a conservative to act or speak in good faith. Their requests should be 100% disregarded unless a response is legally required.
