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 [email protected]

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's the DC subway. Say hello to the next generation's ruling class.

My money says we're looking at the Unnamed GOP Staffers Complaining that They Can't Get Dates in DC in a Slate/Atlantic Human Interest Piece Class of 2033.

You're in a dark frame of mind tonight

It's hard to imagine a 2033 where the status quo is recognizable enough that isn't dark.

Instead of "resurfaced picture of senator in blackface" it's going to be "resurfaced clip of senator saying racial slurs in Xbox voice chat".

Can't have a sex scandal if you've never had sex.

You know, xbox live released almost twenty years ago now. Political candidates' heated gamer moments coming back to haunt them is probably imminent

Nah, unless these dorks are connected, the best they're gonna get is moving up to a higher class of flunky for whatever representative or senator they get stuck under

It's weird how I always recognize it right away even though I've never even been to DC. I think it's because the architecture is very memorable (and that particular platform/station?) has been used in movies enough times that on a subconscious level it has been in my mind from when I was a boy.
