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

Mitt Romney and Biden pulling out their binders full of women and blacks like they're about to trade Pokemon cards

I was picturing more a particularly horrible game of Guess Who.

He's in good company. George Washington would send his slaves over state lines so they couldn't be freed by laws the duration of in the north.

wait, what? did you maybe drop a word near the end, I'm having trouble understanding

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So I forget the state, but where Washington had slaves passed a law that slaves who are residents for a set amount of years would be freed.

But to get around the law, he'd bring his slaves to another state and reset the timer on their freedom.

I'll link the specific details in about two hours

It was Pennsylvania, back when Philly was the capital. I heard about this on the Dollop podcast episode on Ona Judge, who escaped Washington during one of these trips to reset the freedom clock. The episode was based on this book:

There were actually two edits.

Wisconsin radio station admits it edited Biden interview at request of campaign

Specifically a line from the interview "… and in addition to that, I have more Blacks in my administration than any other president, all other presidents combined, and in major positions, Cabinet positions," was removed.

A piece of dialogue referencing Donald Trump’s call for the death penalty for the Central Park Five, "I don’t know if they even call for their hanging or not, but he—but they said […] convicted of murder," was also removed.

The first site I checked had an obvious mistake but I guess they were in an SEO hurry. God, does the media suck.

Such an ethnically diverse array of cabinet members complicit in genocide.

Fuckin' Milwaukee radio

Growing up with like six different conservative radio jerks is probably a big reason why I am the way I am

Gotta love the "free press" doing their job

Listen, Jack, I’m black!

I want to slap all the liberals who are trying to salvage this by mentioning nonstop that Trump is a pedophile associated with Epstein. If Biden doesn't have the gumption to call Trump a pedophile personally because he thinks it's crass or unbecoming, their screams will just fade into the ether rather than take hold with the larger voter base. Blame your shit candidate for why the most effective attacks against Trump have no salience.

Listen Jack, when I was president for my good friend Brock, he gave me the n-word pass. Now I'm not gonna say it because that's the kinda guy I am, but if you ain't voting for me, you're ain't a ~~BLEEEEEEEEEEEEP~~

:slaps roof: this cabinet can fit so many blacks!

I think the politically correct term is “Blax”

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

That reads like something Trump would say. Seriously.
