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 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
misinformation-for-pay that may have led to the January 6th Capitol Riot
It was a temper tantrum
It was a bunch of white people who were mad their guy didn't win
There was no secret conspiracy, there was no plan to undermine the USA
Just a bunch of jet ski dealers and hvac guys who refused to play by the rules they demand for everyone else
Also, I refuse to call it Jan 6, like it's something along the lines of 9/11
Hell, I might even stop calling it 9/11
It was also a temper tantrum that was talked about beforehand enough online that we all knew here they were going to go there throw a fit. Yet somehow no one else knew?
The libs want to call it a coup, but they didn't do anything to head it off, when people going there to have their tantrum talked about it online. Then the capitol police let them in and got medals for it later. Libs response to even this one isolated thing is so scatteredshot i can't even make sense of it.
"It was a coup, but yeah we'll do nothing and let Trump run again in 4 years - we're not AuThOrItArIaNs!" Libs are something else. They can't even stay consistent with their own lore lol
"It was a coup, but yeah we'll do nothing and let Trump run again in 4 years - we're not AuThOrItArIaNs!" Libs are something else. They can't even stay consistent with their own lore lol
classic. That's how libs "fight" fascism
It’s part of the latest trend to go “x thing is y by a technical definition even though everyone knows it isn’t, but I’m going to call it y anyway because it makes it sound more dramatic than it actually is”
For example, “punching fascists is literally domestic terrorism, arrest this domestic terrorist!” as if it were equivalent to blowing up a building. This is how liberals operate.
Problem is the laws can and most likely will be written in order to control any sort of resistance, they're already hitting people's wallets for "supporting terrorism" and they're the ones defining what it is
Then they praised the same cops that let them in as well as the military that didn’t show up to protect them from the supposed coup
Yeah a lot of leftist groups put out heads up not to show up in DC that day because they smelled a trap
Yup, i remember reading about how something was going to gappen on here. Yet the US security apparatus was unaware? Complete bullshit
Hell, I might even stop calling it 9/11
Might as well, since both of these events pale in comparison to what's been done to Chile and Allende personally.
The Capital Temper Tantrum
Nice, 2nding the motion to rename the january 6th shenanigans to this. Democrats act like it was an organized Coup, and it was just a bunch of whiny boomers throwing a tantrum.
What would we call 9/11 then? Funny plane crash day?
'National reap what you sow day'
National Boomerang Day
That will be the day the US sinks in a decades long civil war.
September 11, whatever happened there.
Load-Bearing Stockbrokers Remembrance Day
have you considered that calling it jan 6 will help cheapen 9/11 and inversely create the potential for increasingly unserious future events to be categorized as national tragedies?
tanking a knee for the victims of the Bowling Green Massacre
9/11 is just Saudi thanksgiving
Doing an epic walk and talk while smearing shit on the walls
Doing an epic verbal takedown of the hypocrisy of being labeled "less than lethal" as a man fatally tases himself in the balls
Somber horn music and a snare drum roll while a cop gets klobbered in the dome with an American flag
Montage of chuds doxxing themselves on national TV while doing interviews. "I'm John Slabbaport from Shremstown Pennsylvania." "I'm Flank Didger from Tungsten Ohio." "I'm Molissa Rugger from Plemspray Arizona."
fast articulate walk-and-talk between a jet ski dealership owner and a real estate agent on their way to capture nancy pelosi's appointment book or whatever
to be fair to Sorkin, he will probably represent right wing misogyny very well given how naturally it comes to him and is present in everything he writes
Dunk for the record book right here, holy shit 
I heard he didn't even include the pig in the Chicago Seven movie he made, so it'll probably just be about FBI guys and congresscritters investigating it or something, while striding importantly around the capital of course, and with many impassioned speeches about rights and democracy and shit.
If this doesn't include 
giving an impassioned speech right before stealing the podium and running off as the score changes to Yakety Sax, it's screenwriting malpractice.
Walk-and-talk but Via Getty is carrying the podium in front of him as he gives his speech, being careful to stay within the purple boundary lines.
If there’s money to be made on misinformation it’s only rational to pursue it. Liberalism cannot square that circle.
Pootin did it
Dems are going to legalize the purge in America but still want us to be afraid of Putin.
Who are they going to cast to play 
?
Bigger question: Who will play 
and 
I say Brad Pitt and Meryl Streep
That cop liberals wanted to make Time's person of the year is probably going to be the main character. There's also going to be some Republican politician who's going to give a speech about how we're better than this and need to overcome our differences, because a nation divided blah blah blah, then everyone stands in stunned silence and claps afterwards.
Misinformation for pay = It was Russia! 
When is Sorkin gonna fuck off forever? Just the fucking worst, smarmiest writing (and writer) i've ever encountered.
The subject should be in the hands of a much better writer/director, maybe Mel Brooks?
Adam Sandler?
"The" January 6th? Drop the "the." Just "January 6th." It's cleaner.
A million fake write in ballots isn't cool, you know what's cool? A billion fake write in ballots.
Please god, do this
The Chapo episode will be great
Soon to be followed by a Broadway adaptation with Lin-Manuel Miranda starring as the spirit of democracy
We should all come out to be extras in the crowd shots!
I could do a pretty convincing angry American
I just threw up in my mouth a little
Aaron Sorkin tried to investigate January 6th himself: "I Looked For Evidence"
When they get to the Babbit scene it’ll be a walk and talk, except it’s the only tolerable sorkin hallway scene because somebody shuts the speaker up for once.
The whole misinformation angle is bullshit. It's such a lib mindset to think your enemies are just misinformed.
The majority of people at Jan 6 were business owners or upper management. They came from urban communities that had seen a decline in the white population. https://d3qi0qp55mx5f5.cloudfront.net/cpost/i/docs/Pape_AmericanInsurrectionistMovement_2022-01-02.pdf
Like every fascist movement Jan 6 was the petite bourgeois attempting to shut down democracy and install a dictator that would stop demographic changes and keep the current hierarchies unchanged despite the falling rate of profit and the resulting monopolisation / need for the growth of the working class.
But if you refuse to see it as a systemic, almost inevitable process, then you're left thinking the Jan 6 people were just CraZzyYy. Maybe it's that damn internet the kids are always on!
