dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I think bombing inside the country breaks other laws though…

Seal team six however could be kept under wraps

There's plenty of precedent for bombing America; the destruction of black wall street, the Chicago MOVE bombing... You just have to declare Trump black first and then it's ok by American standards.

indeed, in 1921 leftover explosives and chemical weapons from WW1 were dropped on striking miners in West Virginia and the very first purpose-built bomber planes purchased by the US military were deployed there by President Harding.

the president has indeed deployed military assets to extrajudicially murder Americans in America, but it has always been against the working class.

to use the military against the bourgeoisie would be certainly regarded in the bourgeoisie media frame as somehow a "crime", in the same way that Hitler doing genocide in Europe was regarded some new depravity even though it was essentially what Churchill had done to India, the US/Canada/Aus did to their indigenous, Northern Europe had done to West Africa for centuries and regarded themselves as great, civilizing nations.

Joe Biden dazedly firing an old timey gatling gun at a Trump rally from a moving train

Damn, did they use aircraft to bomb the strikers?

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They did! It was, IIRC, the world's first use of bomber aircraft.

The MOVE bombing happened in Philadelphia.

[–] motherofmonsters@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

Just goes to show how bad the Chicago Bombing was if it reached Philly

You just have to declare Trump black first

Then this won't work, Biden can only declare people not black.

It breaks all kind of laws, but if it's done under the color of an official presidential action (eg national security), it can't be prosecuted, according to the Supreme Court. Unless they change their minds because they don't like a particular action.
