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.
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

That would have to be the first layer, lying by legal word play or omission. There must have been a lot of insubordination from the lifetime bureaucrats during his last tenure to do that. Blackmail could be the next layer, which I would imagine would stop anything else they couldn't get by just lying to him.
And you only really need to pull out stuff beyond lying for issues he's really fixated on, which varies from little to nothing, at least abroad.
Yep. I think it's especially useful for them to have a populist politician that can put his seal of approval on any of their legacy policy proposals.
