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

take us into war with Iran without Congressional approval

without the informed consent of the American people

Read: Donald Trump doesn’t know how to fight a war. But I know. I am the President who can win wars for America.

Democrats entire shtick in 2008 was “the Iraq War was a bumbling disaster, it’s time for the adults in the room to take charge and administer the war competently”

Well, Biden ended Covid and the masking requirement for libs.

It’s just different when the Adults in the Room are in charge.

That was more 2004 than 2008. Obama leaned heavily into avoiding war. So never trust democrats

[–] invo_rt@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Could be. I remember Obama saying that Iraq was the "dumb war" and that we needed to double down on Afghanistan.
