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

I love how they keep pretending it's specifically his age people have been talking about, and not the fact that his brain has been steadily turning into soup over the past 5 years.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

Right? There's probably millions of people in this country his age or older who don't sound like him. Nobody said Kissinger's rotten ideas stemmed from age. He sucked because he was a genocide-dracula

It's a STUTTER!!

I can understand the hogs loving Trump, but what's with these ghouls falling in line with Biden? He's like the worst. He has no charisma, is an ardent agent of empire, and policy wise, is just the same as Trump.

What's funny about all this is that Blue MAGA is more annoying that MAGA.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

Honestly I get blue Maga more than the defectors.

They've been denying reality for years and telling everybody that doesn't agree Biden is a successful progressive a Russian troll, they're just reverting to instinct.

The more baffling thing is the portion of blue Maga that somehow just realized a week ago Biden was a senile arrogant fipshit despite us telling them that for a decade.

That's it, We're taking my daughter, Khaleesi Rowling Psaki Schiff Fetterman Dahmer Disrespect, to the courthouse tomorrow. It's time my partner and I change her name.

[–] TemutheeChallahmet@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago

Schiff also said Biden should consider dropping out lol

How long until demand creates their own mirror BlueMAGA version of Newsmax/OANN because they refuse to hear any criticism of biden-horror ?

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

That's just MSNBC. Most of the time.

A more serious answer would be maybe Daily Kos (is that still a thing?)

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months ago

We're not like those dreadful little MAGA people, we're not a cult that lives in an echo chamber!

She's got a way with words

a gift for gab

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't know the context. Did she gently and politely hint Biden could step aside?

[–] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Breaking Points did a segment on this today. I believe her words were that the post-debate interview was "not a home run" and that his confidence, while maybe intended to be a strategic show of strength, may read as denial of reality when looking at actual poll numbers.

She was actually being quite lenient towards him, but anything short of delusional sets blue MAGA on fire.

They show the jen psaki clip about 10 minutes in. https://youtu.be/lE2wV_ud2Ro

The beginning half is funny because they dunk on Biden saying "goodest job" in the context of him giving a catastrophic answer to "how would you feel if you staying in the race caused Donald Trump to win?" Biden answers "as long as I do my best and run my goodest race, I'll be happy" which is a remarkably self-centered way to look at it.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

"not a home run"

The Reality - He hint the ball as a "blip" and it was an easy out.

BLUEMAGA - IT WAS A BASES LOADED HOMERUN THAT WAS SO IMPRESSIVE THE UMPIRE USED A SPECIAL RULE AND GAVE HIM 12 RUNS!

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

If words are potatoes Joe Biden's words are mashed potatoes but if you point that out you are the greatest traitor since Judas Iscariot

[–] Tomorrow_Farewell@hexbear.net 18 points 10 months ago

The emperor is definitely not naked.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 17 points 10 months ago

The lib infighting is the best schadenfreude I've had in years. I don't know what's better the remaining blue Maga watching half their heros betray them or watching the people who just now realized that Biden is a senile arrogant dipshit get completely exasperated by getting called a Russian troll for their first time.
