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

I don't really care about the stupid "classified documents stuff", I just think that it is funny that POTUS will not be charged because he is too cognitively impaired.

"He did not remember when he was vice president" is also funny. My son died and I was the Democratic VP was Biden's main pitch to the Dem primary electorate lmao.

I'm holding out hope that he gets convicted in some state (Georgia, probably) and then can't pardon himself so he has to serve out his term from a jail cell. that would be the absolute funniest outcome and so on brand for the US.

At most three months down the line some ex cops will sneak him out in a storage box like el chapo

Holy shit, give me a buddy cop sitcom about cops trying to sneak him out with different hilarious methods every week.

Hogan's Heroes but it's pigs trying to sneak Trump out past their coworkers in various disguises

He will build his own gaudy prison for him and his cabinet ala Pablo Escobar

Then on the eve of the State of the Union address he loses his zoom privileges by posting a death threat on TruthSocial.

he would pardon himself anyway and get away with it and nothing would happen

The union splits when soldiers fight Trump out of prison and the libs kneel in congress before shuffling out slowly.

I mean, the military invading Georgia to break him out of jail would be pretty lit, all on it's own

I thought that would stop him of being electable. If I misunderstood then you are right, it would be the funniest outcome

Eugene V Debs famously ran while incarcerated.

there's a technicality that you can't hold federal office if you've done an insurrection, which is what the libs are furiously gesturing at. but they fundamentally misunderstand power. the supreme court can and will throw at that statute if it ever comes up in a case and it benefits them. but no state convictions or even lesser federal ones stop someone from taking power, once elected.

USian federalism is weird. we elect a king every 4 years but his lords can throw him in jail and keep him there, while the priests deify his reign.
