Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

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 in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . 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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

“The fall in life expectancy magically began decades ago and cannot be blamed on anything or anyone, it’s just simply a fact of life in the best of all possible worlds, also known as the USA.” — liberals

Yeah but no one is trying to stop that, so it isn't technically a failure

Stopping COVID. Although there wasn’t much of an effort there.

Pete ain’t doing too well with them trains.

To be fair, he had about as much experience with transportation management as most of us do when he got the job.

Could any of us really done any better?

I thought he would for sure die of natural causes during his presidential term but I turned out to be wrong. There's always a next time though.

He’s so bad at this. No wonder they barely let him say anything in public.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He has always been utter shit, now he is utter shit with dementia

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

Yeah, Obummer picked him because he was an old man southern democrat racist who would help re-assure the white racist vote. He's always been an embarassing dipshit who somehow becomes hypercompetent when it's time to explore new vistas of human misery.

Prevent a ancient corpse-lich whose primary accomplishments in life are making everything worse from everyone from taking control of the US regime a critical moment in world history?

We fumbled that pretty hard.

An offering to cornpop. To forgive what cannot be forgiven

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 years ago

Bay of Pigs!

In all seriousness angry dementia Biden running around Washington screaming at everyone is a pretty funny timeline. If he wins they should turn him loose on the press

I feel really bad for those twitter libs who had their ptsd triggered when Bernie would raise his voice. They must be freaking out right now.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 years ago
