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

It's insane how basically Biden's unpopularity was the thing propping Trump up.

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 38 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Biden did the classic dipshit move of thinking you can just "ride it out" by never doing any at all... oh, except wars. We can fund the fuck out of two major conflicts. But even half-measuring with a huge portion of the base of voters/population generally? Nah. Best I can do is a drop in the bucket towards what is required to begin to force the US off fossil fuels. Make asylum and immigration overall easier and without the abhorrent threats of deportation for simply existing? Nah. How about we... build a beautiful wall! Someone once said that. Must've been a bright man! Healthcare? Hey, buddy. I already solved that with my friend Barrack! What are you kids complaining about?

Now Kamala is benefiting from clown 1 and clown 2 having proven they're fully in the tank for mass murder and nothing good. People are literally like "welp, she's different, holy fuck please god do something! And no not another war!"

Dems watched republicans never get held accountable for anything they do by their base and thought they could do the same thing.

The difference is that the right actually does what their base wants even if it's fucking stupid. The right forgives Trump because he's doing exactly what they want and missing off liberals.

Drms thought they could achieve the same results except instead of doing what their base wants they lecture their base that they don't understand how politics works and why nominating the crypt keeper is the smart political move.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 38 points 3 months ago

And vice-versa. Two sides of the same old white guy coin.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago

Call me crazy but I don't think its that weird that the democratic candidate being a barely sentient clearly incoherent geriatric was a benefit to the republican candidate.

[–] goose@hexbear.net 65 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He's getting out-posted by Literally The Democrats. He's all out of juice, just a desiccated husk of a poster

We'll always have Diet Coke and "It's their house, he's supposed to be there"

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 54 points 3 months ago (2 children)

"I'll still keep drinking that garbage" will always be my favorite.

Wishing the haters and losers a good 9/11 is up there

[–] Diddlydee 52 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Like many of his posts, he didn't write this. It's coherent and contains no ranting tangents.

[–] Wertheimer@hexbear.net 45 points 3 months ago

If this were a real post from him he'd capitalize, at the very least, Nation, President, and Border.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 35 points 3 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 40 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago

It's pretty funny stuff in retrospect.

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

Oooh! This is a good one.

Truth social just died lol

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't he the only guy to use it?

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 14 points 3 months ago

Him and anyone else that was too right wing for even post-musk Twitter

Just the absolute most horrific mutants

[–] brainw0rms@hexbear.net 50 points 3 months ago

I can't believe this is what he posts when he comes back to twitter. what a fucking dweeb.

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 47 points 3 months ago

Pictured: The sauce leaving Trump's body

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 43 points 3 months ago (1 children)

it's giving me a lot of joy to see his posting decline so precipitously what a dork. what a buffoon

When MAGA sends their tweets, they aren’t sending their best.

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 33 points 3 months ago

The sad thing is that they are sending their best, and this is all they have.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 30 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yea he is losing for sure, musk probably begged so he would post but its still an L sad-boi

Would be very funny if chuds do jan 6 part 2 after the election

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Elon told him he'd let him do an interview that he got to edit before releasing to stop the bleeding but he has to rejoin Twitter in exchange lmao.

Also it would be hilarious to see them attempt Jan 6 part 2 when there isn't somebody actively running interfearance on the national guard for them.

Maybe this makes me a bad socialist but i really wouldnt mind seeing national guardsman light up a crowd of hogs on the national mall.

Me when the power of the fascist, militarized state is unleashed upon the left: sicko-no

Watch it be just as low energy as Trump now

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 27 points 3 months ago

The chuds at work think he'll reign in rents somehow. Probably immigration stuff, though I'm sure Trump as a landlord has low interest in that

[–] heggs_bayer@hexbear.net 24 points 3 months ago

Damn, he's really low energy nowadays. Sad.

[–] Goblin@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago

Trump has to have the sauce every time otherwise he's low energy, kamala just needs to make a coherent sentence once and shes serving brat.

The world's not fair, people. Many are saying this.

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I don't think he's ever been drier than this, you hate to see it trump-moist

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago

Trump back on Twitter, lets fucking goooooooo

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago (2 children)

"AFFORDABLE"

What? Is that a thing he's actually promising? Wouldn't that fall under his very liberal use of the word communism?

The October surprise will be when, seemingly completely exhausted, he begins to slump off the stage wearily. Just after his aids drape a cape over his shoulders, he turns around and bursts back onto the stage, sliding on his knees and wailing in exuberance into the microphone. The sauce hasn’t returned. The sauce never left. We haven’t even seen the sauce before.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Trump and Biden are obviously both pretty old and were in dogshit health to begin with, but I wonder if the loss of coherency had anything to do with having COVID (multiple times each, IIRC).

[–] WorkingClassCorpse@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

When my grandpa died, my grandma's dimensia got much worse because her partner wasn't there to comfort her anymore.

I imagine Trump feels like he's lost his partner after Biden dropped out

[–] dinklesplein@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

2024 Donald Trump when it comes to Posting

[–] FanonFan@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

Written by a PR team, this is NOT my president
