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

Are they going to explain HOW he "stopped a second cold war"? Is it because he's actively starting a hot WW3?

[–] [email protected] 74 points 10 months ago

A proxy war against Russia and trade restrictions on China somehow don't count as a new cold war

He saved us from a second cold war by kicking off half a dozen hot ones

First off the police restrictions mentioned are a complete lie.

Lifted transgender military ban

Wow, now trans people can die for Raytheon too, almost makes you tear up.

arguably saved democracy in Europe

Omg just like Gladio! I love saving democracy by funding Nazis and manipulating the public.

Also secured the border?? These people don't even try to hide that they're racist anymore

migrants siezed

[–] [email protected] 40 points 10 months ago

His Border Patrol can't even get to the Rio Grande. How the fuck has he secured it?

[–] [email protected] 68 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Isn't the insulin cap price only for Medicare? That does almost nothing for most Americans. I would also like to know how my student debt was cancelled, because it most certainly is not.

EDIT: Oh, and imagine being super proud that your overlord "secured the border." I hate libs so much.

Executive order 14074:

Forbids police from using chokeholds

Sec. 7. Banning Chokeholds and Carotid Restraints (a) The heads of Federal LEAs shall... ensure that their respective agencies issue policies with requirements... generally prohibits the use of chokeholds and carotid restraints except where the use of deadly force is authorized by law.

Forbids police from no-knock warrants

Sec. 10. Restricting No-Knock Entries.
(b) The heads of Federal LEAs shall maintain records of no-knock entries.

Forbids police from purchasing military-only equipment

(c) Prior to transferring any property included in the “controlled equipment list”... ensure that the recipient State, Tribal, local, or territorial LEA:
(iv) agrees to return the property if... the LEA has engaged in a pattern or practice of civil rights violations.

I appreciate the bravery it takes to post something like this on Lemmy.

One of the actual comments on the Lemmy.world post.

So brave. For all you FAR LEFT NUTJOBS who think Biden did nothing, I’ll have you know he protected America from being invaded by ILLEGALS (secured the border). Bet that changes your mind.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 10 months ago

If you think Joe Biden did nothing, then where do you think all those bombs raining down in the genocide of the palestinians are coming from? Checkmate Tankie.

I love how making the vaccine free, only for some people under very specific conditions is seen as a big win.

The dude could have done lockdowns, and mobilised that huge expensive army to deliver supplies to everyone while they isolated. He could have saved so many lives

The dude let COVID murder millions (and cripple those who survived) so that businesses could continue making big bucks.

The dude is an impotent, evil fool. The Democrats ' version of Trump except even worse because he's currently funding multiple wars and genocides. Everything 'good' he does is done in ineffectual half-measures that fundamentally change nothing.

It's the same with insulin. The cap is only for senior citizens on medicare

Lowest unemployment since the 60s

Yeah but the Biden administration is actually fighting against that. That was totally accidental and had nothing to do with Biden.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Also, and I will shout this out forever, they got this number by omitting everyone who has been unemployed for more than a few months or stopped looking for work. Just full-on brump shit, and these dumbasses eat it up

Flu vax is $60 in my area without insurance

All those police reforms apply to only federal pigs, most of which they didn't do anyway

Any good brought on by the keystone cancelation has been more than removed by the massive expansive in oil drilling permits

Insulin is not capped at $35 nationwide

Do these mfs think Putin was going to MW3 invade the entire European continent?

"Arguably." Dems even feel the need to compromise with themselves.

EO 14074 is an excellent example of just how useless this administration is lmao. Obviously it didn't actually do anything claimed in the meme. It required federal police to review their use-of-force policies and offered local departments more fucking money in exchange for doing the same.

Killed Ayman al-Zawahiri

Lol

Stopped Putin

LOL

Also, let's not leave out his biggest accomplishment: Biggest pro-life President of all time. Maybe don't trust an Irish Catholic when it comes to matters of family planning? Let's not forget that or let anyone else forget that. Convenient to not bring it up, eh?
