The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

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.

Kamala getting a lifetime appointment after a catastrophic failure does sound probable

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 33 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The queen of failing upwards

[–] Hatandwatch@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago

Girlbossing upwards, excuse me.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 66 points 8 months ago (4 children)

They can't even stack the court in their fantasies.

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 37 points 8 months ago

Their fantasies are just whatever the dems last told them they wanted to do.

Say Adolf Hitler (D) loses in 2028 and a generic Democrat found a genie, all three wishes would be for Hitler to be president.

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Even FDR attempted to stack the courts and they didn't let him

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago

Some of them will even say that’s why they dislike him lol

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Their "mind blowing fantasy" is Kamala replacing a liberal justice's seat so she can lose in perpetuity instead of just a few times

I guess that's kind of funny

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

Tbf, it's pretty funny that their idea of an own is to put Kamala into what is basically purgatory.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago

"Even in libs' wildest fantasies written by Aaron Sorkin, they still compromise with Republicans."

There are much cooler ways to add or replace supreme court justices than retirement.

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

WHICH ARE LEGAL THE SCOTUS SAID SO.

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

very legal and very cool

[–] Lovely_sombrero@hexbear.net 33 points 8 months ago

How would this be an own? Harris just gave conservatives the presidency and Congress, the SCOTUS balance of powers would remain unchanged and she isn't even that young, so she might need to be replaced like 12 years from now.

[–] micnd90@hexbear.net 32 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (3 children)

KHivers need to assassinate not only Sotomayor, but a couple of Republican senators in a state with Democratic Governor because sure as hell Manchin and Sinema are not going to vote Kamalol into the Supereme Court. If they are serious and pulled this off, then godspeed.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 17 points 8 months ago

Right? They have the legal power to kill whoever they want. Any serious government would have purged the opposing party the second the results started to turn against them.

The Coconut Brief

KHive go on Trillbillies

When you only ever reward losers it shouldn’t be a surprise when you only ever lose

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago

Please.

All the GOP has to do is tell you "no" and you WILL obey them.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Did they just forget about McConnell blocking Obama's SC nomination for 11 months after Scalia's death?

[–] edge@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Democrats control the senate right now though. They could nominate and confirm a Justice tomorrow if they wanted to (well, if Manchin and Sinema wanted to).

Despite the argument McConnell made in 2016 (and as proven in 2020), the timing relative to elections doesn't matter. All it takes is the President and 51 senators being willing to do it.

Either yes, or they would suffer in principled silence and lose knowing they had the high ground or something.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 21 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This was the same thing that conservatives were saying in 2020. That it would be funny if Trump got impeached, Pence became president, and Pence immediately appointed Trump to the SC.

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 28 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I can't imagine a job that Trump would hate more

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

he just wouldn't show up most of the time

Merrick Garland has entered the chat

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

Within the confines of the idiotic US supreme court system, getting your loyalists to retire when you're able to pick their successors ought to be considered basic housekeeping but to libs it remains a wild fantasy.

[–] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 17 points 8 months ago

Let her go bro it's over

[–] Aradina@lemmy.ml 16 points 8 months ago

Cognitohazard or not, this WOULD be very funny

[–] BobDole@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago

Sorry, Parmigiantarian said no

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

She can’t vote for herself in the senate, no?

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

The constitution is unclear on this matter. So if the Dems do this hairbrained move and the Senate is split, the supreme court will confirm its own member because the court does whatever it wants.

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

But why would they do that, when they can get 7:2 for free?

Yeah, Sonia we totally will confirm your replacement.

Oops, got you again football-lucy

This and Trump replacing Clarence Thomas with Ron DeSantis is the funniest possible supreme court scenario

[–] Thallo@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago

Here's how she can still win

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

No I'm sorry I cannot parse this the words are in English but the semantic content is beyond human comprehension.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Yeah sure do it. Why not? Why haven't you done it earlier? Why haven't you shot Trump? :just-do-it: Unironically do these things, fuck the institutions, do it. I don't give a shit. Don't get why you'd give it to a massive fucking loser, but you're the geniuses with brilliant political instincts, not me. Don't get why you'd stop at just her though. Stack the courts, who gives a shit? You do. It's always only been you who gave a shit.

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

give me the bleach, my eyeballs must forget

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

These are the most delusional people in the universe. The democrats never do anything and they know that. But in their fucking fantasies, they do all this cool shit. Thus, the democrats must be cool!

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago

literally blueanon lol

[–] mango@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

This is how Bernie can win
