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

White House: “Actually the President saw reports from the IDF and the media about beheaded babies.”

IDF: “I have no idea what you’re talking about. And no we will not investigate these claims.”

Hamas was in the closet beheading babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me!

If there is ever a confirmed Hamas baby beheading photo, I will eat my Blahaj.

Really just a tone shift from Bill Hicks' "We're going in for God and country and democracy and here's a fetus and he's a Hitler. Whatever you fucking need, let's go. Get motivated behind this, let's go!" at this point

Always a trip to go back through his early 90s material and realize it needs almost no updating to be relevant in the modern era.

Part of me is sad to see him die so young. Part of me is relieved not to have to deal with Bill Hicks taking a hard Dennis Miller career turn and defiling his legacy with a bunch of cringey "Kids Today" takes.

Can't wait for every racist liberal to let me know I support baby beheadings because I want people freed from a concentration camp!

LeBron you already came out as heavily pro-Israel on this, you're covered

Liberal Frazzledrip. If it becomes a wider war that drags the US in, they're going to face the same need to justify an obviously stupid decision as a smart one. Hamas doing ritualistic baby killings is the best they've got.

"Biden lied about seeing pictures of beheaded babies."

Politifact rates this "Mostly Untrue." On October 10th, 2023 Biden said at a hearing about the Palestinian -Israeli conflict "I never thought I would have seen and have confirmed pictures of terrorists beheading babies." While some may have wrongly interpreted this as the president claiming to have seen pictures of beheaded babies, he never says explicitly that he saw them. He said he never thought he would have saw them and comments by his staff immediately after confirm that he did not see those photos.

"I never thought I would have seen" means you fucking saw them that's what the word fuckin MEANS AM I GOING INSANE DO WORDS HAVE DEFINITIONS ANYMORE!!!!?!

biden-the-thing biden-forgor biden-rember has proven to he a very effective propaganda tactic under both Biden and Trump. I wouldn't be surprised if the parties only push for 75+ year old presidents from now on.

When terms are not enough.

Israeli propagandists will now have to behead babies and take photos so they can claim Hamas beheaded babies. Really painted themselves into a corner on this one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bold of you to assume they wouldn’t have ended up doing it anyways

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Well they'd be doing it for business, not pleasure.

Technically he never said he saw the pics.

"I never really thought that I would see and have confirmed pictures of bigfoot"

The tense matters. The perfect past in Biden’s remark makes it a completed action of a state that no longer exists whereas your remark is a more ambiguous interpretation

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Well, Biden's dementia was likely just kicking in.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

I call him Blood Libel Biden

What was that thing trump supporters used to say?

"You have to listen to what's in his heart, not his words"

From the confines of Jerusalem and the city of ~~Constantinople~~ Langley, VA a horrible tale has gone forth and very frequently has been brought to our ears, namely, that a race from ~~the kingdom of the Persians~~ Palestine, an accursed race, a race utterly alienated from God, a generation forsooth which has not directed its heart and has not entrusted its spirit to God, has invaded the lands of those ~~Christians~~ Israelis and has depopulated them by the sword, pillage and fire; it has led away a part of the captives into its own country, and a part it has destroyed by cruel tortures; it has either entirely destroyed the churches of God or appropriated them for the rites of its own religion. They destroy the altars, after having defiled them with their uncleanness. They circumcise the Christians, and the blood of the circumcision they either spread upon the altars or pour into the vases of the baptismal font. When they wish to torture people by a base death, they perforate their navels, and dragging forth the extremity of the intestines, bind it to a stake; then with flogging they lead the victim around until the viscera having gushed forth the victim falls prostrate upon the ground. Others they bind to a post and pierce with arrows. Others they compel to extend their necks and then, attacking them with naked swords, attempt to cut through the neck with a single blow. What shall I say of the abominable rape of the women? To speak of it is worse than to be silent. The ~~kingdom of the Greeks~~ Israel is now dismembered by them and deprived of territory so vast in extent that it can not be traversed in a march of two months. On whom therefore is the labor of avenging these wrongs and of recovering this territory incumbent, if not upon you? You, upon whom above other nations God has conferred remarkable glory in arms, great courage, bodily activity, and strength to humble the hairy scalp of those who resist you.
