      well, technically my title is 100% accurate. its happening, they are being sued, it was filed today, etc.

        It’s accurate, but the tone is unnecessary. When you make such an emotive title, the discussion can be handicapped.

        "It's happening" is definitely editorialization. Even if you just meant to say "this is a thing that is happening" and not the meme-ish thing, then it's just title cruft. Obviously news articles...

        "It's happening" is definitely editorialization. Even if you just meant to say "this is a thing that is happening" and not the meme-ish thing, then it's just title cruft. Obviously news articles that are submitted are things that have already happened or are in the process of happening.

        Again, I'm not trying to be mean about what you've shared, but I think this kind of title drama is something that Tildes is trying to stay away from.

        To hell with technicalities. I'd reserve "It's happening" for when the large hammer falls and we see formal suits against Trump from Mueller and co. I think that's what most people think of when...

        To hell with technicalities. I'd reserve "It's happening" for when the large hammer falls and we see formal suits against Trump from Mueller and co. I think that's what most people think of when "It's happening" is used when in reference to Trump. I'm not trying to be mean, it's just the "It's happening" phrase is a pretty sensationally-loaded one, in which this is not really big news. Also, the stream you linked is referencing a DOJ watchdog claim that Comey violated FBI norms, and nothing about Trump. I think this is a stream that is updated every hour maybe?

            Probably best to just delete it, there are at least two other posts to an article and the actual petition anyway.

    Eh. This doesn't quite look important enough for "it's happening." Trump's been sued, what, a million times? For something to qualify as "it's happening," I'm gonna need to see impeachment...

    Eh. This doesn't quite look important enough for "it's happening." Trump's been sued, what, a million times? For something to qualify as "it's happening," I'm gonna need to see impeachment proceedings starting or an indictment from Mueller.

    However, this is a state AG bringing suit for financial wrongdoing, which means discovery and might have some tasty nuggets to better paint the picture of why he only released a partial tax return from a decade ago.

        Hey, good on you for still having optimism. I'm firmly in the "I'll believe it when I see it" camp.

    Clickbait editorialized headline and a link to a cable news stream that is almost devoid of details does not make for a quality submission. Come on now.
