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

A new political calculus will be at play this election - the 'if people keep trying to shoot him, then he must be doing something right!' gambit.

This guy's ideology was... confused at best.

Dude was a neocon warmonger and he's in favor of the lady who, despite all her other bullshit, is anti-regime change?

On second thought, maybe he identified with her because her incoherence is relatable.

JD Vance was following him on twitter lmaooooo

Edit: probably fake :(

JD Vance saw what happened to Trump's last VP and decided to do a preemptive strike.

Wonder how well a Republican would do in the primary in 2028 on a "Trump should be [redacted]" platform

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

I would probably consider it for a non-zero moment in time as pretty funny

Lmfao. Imagine throwing your life away, like almost certainly going to ADX Florence, for Vivek it Rhymes with Cake Ramaswamy. Trump assassins being the goober of christmas past is the funniest timeline.

edit: the BBC is expanding more on his ideology: https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c8dp10d4vq2t?post=asset%3A7a4a9659-358e-4e1d-b9c8-48a83ac61600#post

Social media profiles show suspect's pro-Ukraine and conspiratorial postspublished at 01:01 British Summer Time 01:01 BST

By Mike Wendling

We’ve been looking at social media profiles which match the name of the alleged suspect Ryan Wesley Routh and have profile pictures that resemble a man allegedly pictured at the scene.

Routh was deeply involved in efforts to get foreign fighters into Ukraine to battle against the Russian Army.

One Facebook post from July read in part: “Soldiers, please do not call me. We are still trying to get Ukraine to accept Afghan soldiers and hope to have some answers in the coming months… please have patience.”

We’ve uncovered news reports and videos showing he travelled to Ukraine in the past. Donald Trump’s lukewarm support for Ukraine’s war effort has been an issue on the campaign trail, and we’ll expect to hear more about the suspect’s possible ties to Ukraine.

There are also pro-Palestinian, pro-Taiwan and anti-China messages on his profile, including allegations about Chinese “biological warfare” and references to the Covid-19 virus as an “attack”.

Pro-Palestenian in there is a surprise but the rest does look like standard neocon

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

idk what his posts were that they're talking about, but in current imperialist western media parlance, "pro-Palestine" is having any position other than "gaza is hamas and not giving full-throated support to Israel's right to Ustaše-level sadism in their righteous cleansing of the land is anti-semitic"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I figure he was just an anti-Semite who hated Jewish people and Israel.

I met a rabid anti-Semite that was anti-Israel. Stopped talking to him when that came out.

I've seen libs be very confused by this guy being a pro-Ukraine and pro-Taiwan NATO chud, because in their demented manufactured worldview only a lib can support all those things.

Do not vote this November, Moon-and-Star.

The great houses of Morrowind have already gerrymandered Red Mountain to reduce the influence of Dagoth Ur (the God) and the ash zombies who reside in Dagoth Ur (the place).

How can you be so naive?

No recount or parlimentarian can save you now. There is no escape!

Come. Lay down your ballots. It's not too late for my mercy! i-voted
