        Chair-man Guaido. It’s not a political office, that’s just his wrestling persona. Man always has his chair and isn’t afraid to use it! If you can’t defeat the chair, join it.

      The whole thing was co-ordinated with the US and some private military contractor type VIP extraction group, WSJ wrote up a good overview and did some good journalism for once. Don’t have the link now, but it shouldn’t be difficult to find.

      The current theory is that the Norway government told the Nobel committee to ask her to not come to the ceremony since they don’t want to deal with threats or protests, so to save face she now had an “accident” and can’t assist

      she could literally drive to and cross the border into Colombia or Brazil on foot. Tons of people who are way poorer and less connected than she is do it every day.

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 URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). 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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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.
