Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It reminds me of the time a senator repeatedly accused the Tiktok CEO if being Chinese while he repeatedly told him he's Singaporean. American politicians are a bunch of racist clowns.

~~Same Senator!~~

I was wrong

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 32 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I thought the senator from the other time was Tom Cotton?

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You’re totally right. Kennedy is the one that said “What does yada yada yada mean?” in the tiktok hearings.

[–] anarcho_blinkenist@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

Sen. Kennedy confirmed not a Seinfeld watcher

[–] RION@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

Yeah it was

[–] Tom742@hexbear.net 66 points 1 month ago (2 children)

A hearing into hate crimes? The call is coming from inside the house?

[–] miz@hexbear.net 46 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He should hide his head in a guillotine

[–] robinnist@hexbear.net 52 points 1 month ago (4 children)

People are saying she didn’t answer the question I can’t take it anymore.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 59 points 1 month ago

yeonmi-park And in bad country every official must vocally condemn the enemy before giving a statement, even if it has nothing to do with the current meeting.

[–] Homer_Simpson@hexbear.net 33 points 1 month ago

She should have refused to answer it tbh.

[–] HexReplyBot@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

That comment section was the dumbest thing I’ve seen in weeks. Like holy shit that was worse than Facebook comments. I don’t know how these people manage to keep themselves fed and bathed.

it was a hate crimes hearing so the-republican thought he would let everyone hear some hate crimes

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Literally the guy in the story right? I mean that picture is literally him?

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

if i remember rightly someone put all of the sitting democrats the-democrat and all the republicans the-republican into an algorithm that fused all the faces together and shat out those two monstrosities. so yes, it is partly him dubois-finger-guns

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There needs to be a big post with the story behind most of these emojis

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

Noooooooooo~oooooooooo~ that knowledge is only for the ancient ones to know and to spread to the young ones theory-gary

[–] dRLY@hexbear.net 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"Do you support Hamas?"

"I do not support Hamas."

"WHY CAN'T YOU SAY THAT YOU DON'T SUPPORT HAMAS?!?!?!"

I hope that he is given the same treatment that the IOF has given so many Palestinians when the revolution comes.

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I understand why they don’t do it but I really want to see people start responding to that shit with “Yes, I support Hamas in their efforts to protect Gaza from Israel. Hamas has a right to defend itself.”

Honestly, I think condemning Hamas in these situations is a mistake. It starts you on the back foot, accepting their framing of the situation. No, I do not condemn Hamas, or their actions on October 7th, for the same reason I would not condemn the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

[–] dRLY@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You are not wrong and I agree 100%. It doesn't seem to change things with regards to the fascists anyway.

Exactly. No matter how many times you say, “No, I don’t support Hamas” they hear yes anyway, they don’t accept no as an answer, so condemning Hamas is just giving the fash more ammo.

[–] chungusamonugs@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago

People will look you in the eye and tell you there's no racism or misogyny in the US, but one of 50 people who sculpts the laws and policy that affect the world is allowed to put both on display on national television with no consequences.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Should've asked his cracker ass if he supports the KKK and the Nazi Party.

He wouldn't be able to bring himself to say No.

[–] Mantikora@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Aw, too shame she was too shocked to remember this.

[–] InternetLefty@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think maybe they'll find his head hidden in a bag??? Maybe???

[–] miz@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

wishing him a very Andrew Myrick situation

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

Also America 'they hate us for our freedom'
