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

He was literally the one in power when Roe was overturned. It's like the US gives you two fantasy lands to live in and you're treated like the problem when you point out reality.

true, the worst crime in this country is breaking kayfabe

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago

He's going to bring back what he allowed to be taken away? It's not like he's going to get more powerful the older he gets.

no more half measures walter

Just because he was in power when Roe got overturned and has for almost all his life been against abortion except in the most extreme of cases, that doesn't mean he won't re-institute it

[–] [email protected] 89 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You're bringing Roe back next term, Joe?

Why not do it this term? Why are you holding women's bodies hostage for your election?

Because the president can’t actually do anything sweatie, why don’t you retake civics 101? Don’t you remember Biden’s famous 2020 campaign slogan: “I can’t do anything [except arm Ukrainian Nazis, attempt to start WW3 with Russia and China, sign oil drilling permits during climate apocalypse, undo all covid protections (except for the ones which protect me), and shrug as the right undoes Roe and Affirmative Action and god knows what else].”

The powers of the US president are whatever that president feels like they are.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for the presidency to be based entirely on vibes…

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

The presidency has always been just vibes

US politics is like a TV show where anything progressive gets undone by the end of every episode.

porky-happy Oh no the proles might just win this time, just kidding.

biden-point Nothing will fundamentally change.

vote Vote you useless pieces of shit. Vote hard. Vote harder than you ever did in your entire life. Vote like how edgers cum.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Standing in the voting booth for six hours filling out the ballot but never actually voting.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, there's a debate already? No this is too soon. This is like Christmas shit showing up in a store in september

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There's a "debate" between 8 people who are polling at 15% combined.

It's as relevant as if you asked the dining room of a random restaurant what they would do if they were president.

There might be some entertainment in watching people refuse to criticize the person they're campaigning against but I'm not wasting hours of my life to watch republicans be hypocrites.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, it's WITHOUT TRUMP!? OMG. God damn he literally cannot lose.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea Trump I think is doing an interview with tucker at the same time and then turning himself in tomorrow to su k the wind out of any news from the debate lmao.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

What if he just doesn't turn himself in? Possibly an even bigger story as everyone freaks out about norms.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I am praying to God on the 0.0000001% chance that he defects to North Korea at the last minute

boring: Trump running from prison

funny: Trump running from the Ryugyong Hotel

I'll have an OJ Simpson style police chase please.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

I'm 💯% convinced that every opposition candidate to trump including meatboy is a stooge to make him look better

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

love our vibes-based political economy. vibearchy. vibeocracy.

I don't support the vibelicans, the vibeocrats are much more to my liking.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

joe means it. unfortunately, he misspoke. what joe means is he's bringing "sears roebuck"

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Reminder that Sleepy Joe is a self-described "devout catholic"

Now remind me how catholics feel about abortion

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Folks, the papist menace

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The overwhelming majority of lay catholics are pro-choice.

that sub always gave me strong astroturfed vibes

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

the entire website is astroturfed

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

Memes were a mistake. Libs can claim that memes are just as good as legislation.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

hes paying fox news to anger their base and come out against them? very special

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Undermining Fox News by paying them shitloads of money to display ads that will win them exactly 0 votes. Bidenomics, baby.

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

So, the plan is to hand FOX News a bunch of Democrat donor dollars in order to stir up anti-abortion sentiment among the Republican base, because... ???

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No you fucking won't, Joe.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

No for real this time you gotta vote for em bro, seriously I know they've said this for every electiin for 2 decades and they didn't do anything multiple times when they had the opportunity and then it got repealed on their watch after they said you have to vote for them so it won't go away but I swear to God bro for real this time bro just vote for them one more time for sure.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)
