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

Wait, I'm confused, where's E~L~O~N

Have they been able to communicate with the ghost of Adolf Hitler to get his endorsement?

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 44 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I asked in reddit-logo if they would accept the endorsement of Hitler, and got smuglord replies

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The most progressive liberal is the one running for office right now

And the worst conservative in the history of the world is the one running for office right now

Such as it has always been, such as it will always be to them

[–] charly4994@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Wasn't OccupyDemocrats this "progressive take over of the democrats" thing? Just once again proving that social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism.

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think it was always an op. The Democrats neutralized Occupy Wall St back in like 2012, there's just some demon in Washington that takea pleasure in wearing the skin of their prey

[–] bigbrowncommie69@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Definitely AOC. Wonder what she was doing during Occupy 🤔

Not even moderate now

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago

OccupyDemocrats are some of the most annoying ghouls in the entire Dem media sphere. Send this message along if you agree!

Like this post if you want to SHAVE BUSH and DRINK DICK!

Made me suffer through a couple days of their 3 posts an hour wall to make sure this is real. It is…

kamala-coconut-tree "And every time someone tells me I'm complicit in genocide, the endorsements get 10 (whatever the units for evil are, too bad Watt already took W) higher!"

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

whatever the units for evil are, too bad Watt already took W

I believe the liberal unit of evil is 9/11s

[–] LeZero@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

10 9/11s higher? Don't threaten me with a good time

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

(They're talking about what the Middle East)

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

At this point why not seek an endorsement from Satan and Kissinger's ghost

I would like to apologize for joking about this some weeks back, didn't realize the lathe was on

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It's Time

Send this along if you think the Democrats should literally just become Republicans mission-accomplished

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Unironically we're probably seeing what caused the party switch that happened decades ago; I admit I'm not 100% on whether democrats could stop an ex-Republican Democrat candidate from becoming president, but if they can't, we're probably seeing a party switch happening in a few presidencies.

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Except this time there's nowhere for everyone to the left of...Mitt Romney? To go

(in 12 years #occupy will be used by richest person in the world and bush-lovers) - things to tell with time machine

#OccupyGaza bazinga

Oh fuck, I'm gonna do an adventurism.

[–] DoiDoi@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They would probably gain more votes with a puff daddy endorsement. Like who would be moved by a dubya endorsement that wasn't already convinced by Cheney

[–] Antiwork@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Kamala would've been apart of his cabinet

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

She would have jumped in front of the shoe

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

That shoe was the closest thing we ever got to accountability.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Accountability for a president applied by a victim of one of our wars; so grand that that shoe should be made a world wonder.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

They did make a statue of a giant shoe to commemorate it in Iraq, at least we'll always have that.

[–] LeZero@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

When I think about it, I dream of a world where that shoe hit that motherfucker right in the face

It wouldn't make the torture that journalist was subjected too worth it, mind you, but at least Bush would have been forever the US president who got smacked by a flying shoe

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wonder if he'll drop one of his infamous "Bush-isms"

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

Turns out the most infamous Bushism is just white phosphorus

[–] djphdk@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

Every day I go a little more insane.

No one should be courting this man's endorsement. The whole Bush administration should have been subject to Nuremberg style war crimes trials. In a just world, old George and Dick would have met the firing squad for their torture program. Motherfucker, there are still inmates in Guantanamo. Bush has the blood of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, on his hands. Painting some folksy pictures and handing Michelle Obama a candy at the funeral of a different war criminal isn't going to wash the blood off. I remember; I can still see it.

I don't know, that John Brown quote or something. I'm just so deeply angry.

geordi-no George Bush is endorsing me for president
