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

Western Civilization is a balding middle-aged man trying to impress 14 year old boys.

You know, just like the Greeks.

He grows more divorced by the day

Imagine being the richest person that has ever lived, and instead of doing literally anything else you spend your finite time alive whining on social media or trying to act like an edgy, South Park raised 15 year old

What a fucking loser

Holy shit he's so lame

I think someone has difficulty differentiating between personal and global issues.

This dude is just out there RADIATING sad loser energy

Everyone thinks bezos is a dark lord supervillain and not a whiny bitch because he has mastered the art of… shutting the fuck up and staying out of the public eye (the sad mistress arc notwithstanding)

I love you, alive girl. I want to show you with my body

What a weirdo

Under socialism all divorced men will have all of their social media accounts permanently put onto mute.

Divorced white South Africans will have their social media accounts permanently set to a mute setting twice as strong as regular mute.

He yearns for the radiation and dust of Mars, and only socialism can make it so

Divorced by his wife, and divorced from reality.

This man is going to pay all of Trump's legal bills and be his VP

Trump will proceed to die of something hamburger related.

I don't think this would be much worse than the alternatives

You can't be the president or vice president if you weren't born in the USA.

[–] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I dunno tell Ted Cruz that

[–] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Cruz has an American citizen mother and got his birth certificate instantly when he was born. He was never naturalized, nor did he need to be.

Dang it, I briefly hoped my country not being the world's worst buffoon ancaptain

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

He can stage a rebirth in VR and emerge from an AI generated anime character's womb before rapidly aging into an adult avatar. Boom, done. This is a one line of dialogue fix here people.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This isn’t true, the 14th amendment clearly states naturalized citizens are equal. This very matter is being challenged in the courts now, and hopefully this will be their interpretation. Naturalized citizens shouldn’t be treated as a lesser class, and that’s precisely what the equal protection clause in the 14th is about.

[–] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No non natural born citizen has been president and no challenge has been successful yet. It's a strong argument but that's all it is until a challenge successful.

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, and it’s super unclear which way the Roberts court will swing on this one. Staying tuned.
