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 [email protected]
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

My mom said “theyre trying to set a precedent to do this to us!” Idk what new enforcement of laws that will emerge from this that will effect/target broke white trash idiots in east tx like my family and everyone they know but I’m assured it’s very serious
From this moment onward it's no longer legal to commit low level white collar crime in the state of New York by falsifying documents about how $30,000 was spent. This is a deeply grave matter that will result in outlawing white christianity
"I'm gonna give you $100 to fuck off"
"PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK!"
More like
"I'm going to give you $100 dollars to fuck off"
"OK that's fine"
"And I'm going to have my lawyer pay you so there's no direct line to me"
"Yea makes sense"
"Then I'll pay him back later"
"OK yea sounds good"
"And I'm going to do it with money I collected as explicit political donations for campaign expenses"
"Believe it or not there's actually nothing wrong with that"
"But I'm going to lie what those campaigns funds were actually used for"
"OK that actually is technically illegal now"
I ask as someone who has spared themselves any coverage besides brief mentions on tiktok: he has 34 felony convictions now, right? It sounded like much more than being mistaken about campaign funds.
Deeply unserious country
IIRC it's 34 times he did the same thing.
It's funny, but not funny haha
There are few things that reveal your privellage more than saying "this might set the precedent of people getting charged with crimes even if they're innocent"
Setting aside the fact that he could not possibly be more very obviously guilty.
His entire business strategy has been "fuck people over and take advantage of the fact rich white people don't get charged with crimes" for 40 years, he's gonna end up getting "house arrest" that extends to any of hit properties or rallies or campaign events and these dumb shits still complain about not being treated well enough.
Isn't 0.5 % (1 in 200) of america in prison already?
Pre-COVID it was about 1%, now it's about .6%. Good improvement, but still one of the world's highest, and notably 4-5 times more than China.
theyre in a better prison now in upstate new york playing with all the other inmates
Statistically likely if my experience navigating the dating pool in high school is anything to go by
I wish.
