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

the one good bit he was doing this election was “Elon please keep glazing me from the proverbial cuck chair I will ruin your business and you will say thank you sir, thank you sir” and he’s so underwater that he caved and is now back on Twitter. He’s not even shitposting, he’s electioneering. It’s never been more over

Exactly, I think his posting power was probably always mostly shit but he either fired or lost his power poster. Sad.

You really need to go back to well before 2016, when Trump was definitely tweeting his own shit and it was 95% celebrity gossip about who's dating who

I think I'll just take your word for it.

It's pretty funny stuff in retrospect.

New conspiracy theory: he had a groyper ghostwriting his posts, and that groyper was the attempted assassin; this got hurriedly covered up because they decided it would be embarrassing for him if it came out his post writer was a bad shot.

Oooh! This is a good one.

His son Barron set up the meeting with Adin Ross. Wouldn’t be surprised if Trump shows his phone to Barron and asks “is this a funny wojak?”

No way a PR team wrote "I JUST GOT IMPEACHED FOR MAKING A PERFECT PHONE CALL"

Do you think Pokémon Go To the Polls was off the cuff too?

That line isn't so bad, all things considered.

I don’t think so. Before that there were a series of memes calling her a tryhard appealing to the youth. I don’t remember if she nae nae’d and whiped on Ellen before or after the Pokemon speech, but yeah, the zeitgeist was calling her old and her advisors likely leaned into it.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I'm just saying advisors and PR teams make dumbass mistakes too.
