It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Oh dude your gonna make me find this. It was towards the end of his presidency. Pirates were the only ones that recognized it because it was unreleased Beatles songs.

Edit: it was infact a longer version of this where Bush Jr. calls one of the secret service agents "dude". E.g. "can you get me my iPod dude."

Edit 2: here's a more reliable source then "trust me bro" https://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2006/05/beatles-gw-bush-and-apple-computer

OH i totally forgot that Beatles songs weren't licensed for itunes and stuff at the time. Hilarious.

Yeah I forgot too. I think I kind of oversold it but it was still funny with online communities. I remembered people saying if, "Bush can pirate music I can too."
