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

Shooting journalists is just showing his commitment to the Zionist project.

WITNESS MEEE!!!

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 37 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Unless that's a .22lr rifle that is danger close to be shooting 5.56 at steels. Like sure if it's 9mm or whatever, I have done my share of lead-plating steels at that range, but 5.56 is moving fast as hell at that distance and a fragment will absolutely punch through skin.

Dumb fake gun guy shit, classic American GI jagoff.

[–] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Yeah it was shrapnel according to the reports, not a shooting per se but pretty damn close with that "range"

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

welp, shooter was stupid, observers were stupid, everybody involved was stupid

[–] spectre@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago

Sure I'd love to start shooting these targets, let me just zoom out real quick

[–] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 31 points 8 months ago (1 children)

arms control negotiator

well obviously he wasn't any good since the fool can't even control his own arms

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

he sure controlled that reporter's elbow

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Look how close the targets were lmao

I'm sorely out of practice with firearms but that's pistol range even for me.

[–] Weedian@hexbear.net 17 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I could hit that shit with an airsoft gun with no sights lol

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I could hit that with a 180 noscope

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago

Speaking of scopes lsook at that beast. That can't be remotely practical at that range. I could hit that target with a fuckin nerf gun

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

I could hit that with a the-doohickey

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I could hit that shit with a nerf dart

[–] sawne128@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

But he's holding the stock against his neck to make it harder.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 28 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Are amerikkkan politicians just bunch of former cia and vets?

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Someone in the comments pointed out the suppressed smg pointing right at his dick lol

[–] AmericaDelendaEst@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

where else are you gonna point it, smarty?

[–] miz@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago (1 children)

are you saying there's a chance Liz Cheney will shoot Kamala Harris in the face?

[–] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There’s your October surprise

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago

lathe-of-heaven

Liz n Harris on a shooting range. Harris with Glock she so loves to talk about. Liz with a insanely large desert eagle. They are filming a campaign ad appealing to gun freedom types. It all goes perfectly...

[–] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm itching for another edition of the clipping report

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

I'm devastated that there's no compilation

[–] D61@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

If you ain't firing a minigun at a lake, you're just a soy lib poseur.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The GOP has this election in the bag, but what they're really deciding on is one thing.

Do they own the libs and get absolutely everything they want and then some in one well swoop? But also still have to deal with some "opposition"?

Take the L and let democrats lead the uniparty, but in practice still pretty much get everything you want and also have the added bonus of having no more enemies?

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago

She's behind in the polls, young people hate her for Israel and old people hate her because she's black and a woman. It's going to come down to how much of the 30-50 year old brunch crowd clinks their wine glass at the booth.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Look how close the targets were lmao - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GaiPxTGWUAA57wh?format=jpg&name=large

What you expect these fine americans to WALK over to the target?

[–] Homer_Simpson@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Nope though at that range with what caliber it seems to be, ricochets can be as dangerous

[–] AmericaDelendaEst@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Literally what are they even doing in that pic

[–] Taster_Of_Treats@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

First aid kit on the ground.

[–] AmericaDelendaEst@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

oh lol thanks

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

The funniest thing about this to me is the complete lack of self-awareness. Like, obviously, this is a photo op meant to demonstrate his gun bona fides, which we now know he utterly lacks. But...couldn't he have asked, literally anyone for advice? Personally I have very literal practical experience with guns (although I somehow know more than this dumbass), but if I were a politician doing something like this I would call up a buddy who knows their shit and be like, "Hey, dude, can you give me some pointers so I don't make a complete ass of myself?" The fact that he clearly didn't ask for (or listen to) any advice before doing this and no one stopped him really speaks volumes.
