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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

Donald Trump has shared an eerie video on the eve of the Iowa caucuses in which he appears to proclaim himself God’s chosen emissary on earth, sent to deliver America back to prosperity.

The three-minute clip, posted to Truth Social on Sunday evening, opens on grainy footage of an LP turning on a record player, broadcasting an apparently ancient “sermon” in which the speaker intones: “And on 14 June 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said: ‘I need a caretaker.’ So God gave us Trump…”

What follows – set to a picture of the Republican tycoon as a toddler, followed by a montage of scenes from his presidency – is an extraordinary expression of Mr Trump’s Messiah Complex, bordering on sacrilege.

Did he deliver his own grandchild? That's such a weird thing to say in any context.

There is no fucking way. If that dude is even half the germophobe he claims to be, there's no way he's getting within splash radius of an actual birth, let alone touching a slimy fresh baby.

I truly believe he would watch his own child slither out onto concrete before he would even consider getting within reach.

Exactly. Birth is one of the most disgusting things I've seen in emergency medicine. It was one of my ultimate nightmares in an ambulance. I can't imagine Trump letting a dog lick his hand, let alone him covered in blood and shit delivering a child while the medical staff just let it happen.

But then if he's lying about it, why the fuck would you lie about something so weird? Who does that appeal to?

Oh, I thought they meant he was willing to sacrifice ('deliver') his grandchild despite it never happening which was still weird.

Lol some abrahamic shit there. Honestly could be why the AI chose that phrasing
