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

Dems get W elected as speaker. W sets explosives in a building Joe & Kamala are going to meet in and gets Saudi friends to make it look like Iranian terrorism. 3rd W term begins. Gets primaried by Trump who beats Hillary a second time.

Trump president and bush being speaker would actually break my mind in a way I can't truly comprehend

i only came here to sarcastically suggest it was a democrat pushing this and now my day is ruined.

Propaganda works. All those years of smoothing over the jagged edges and washing the blood away have made no-oil seem so endearing to so many people, including people that lived through his active reigning years.

That isn't directly connected to the chances of him being the next speaker of the House of Representatives, except that the public isn't likely to be too upset about the proposal, not after so much propaganda absorption.

No way, times are too uncertain, and the position too contentious, we must unify around guaido

This is just liberal fanfiction.

Although it would be funny for them to elect him and him to immediatly go "alright time to get a few new wars going in the middle east" and watch liberals remember why they used to not like him.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

That's terrible! - Liberals

But at least he's better than Trump! - Liberals, also.

Guess whos back

Maybe this is a based joke. Look at the most unreasonable Republican of the past, he's basically reasonable by today's standard, eh? I mean the fact he can say it with a straight face is even more proof of a bit, right?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I dont think dems do bits

He’d be 2 heartbeats away from being President again.

But why wouldn’t House republicans just put Trump in there?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Because even the true believers understand he's a loud moron who hamstrings everything they try to do if he doesn't get sole credit for its success and none fo the blame for the failures.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

But it would be funny.

He’d also quit

Let me be the first to vote yes.

If there is a god he will have to beg for my forgiveness. Actually, no, he will not get it anyways if this is where we're at

Anyways, seeing as today's republican base are yesterday's InfoWars listeners i can't see this flying
