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

Reminder that his previous job was to befriend and deceive prisoners into saying things that would make their detainment more unbearable.

And by that I mean he was a high school teacher. Oh also he was a torture lawyer at Guantanamo.

Snitches fash-bash

can you imagine waking up to discover your weirdest teacher is now in charge of the state?

There is an idea of a Ron Desantis. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me. Only an entity. Something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.

He did everything right though

He knows he's a freak and the visible pain that causes him is just so delightful

I got a little joy out of the brief look of pain after his strange laughter. he looks tortured right now but he knows he has to hold on just in case Trump is unable to continue.

nah i'll cut the other way. obviously ron fucking sucks, and he certainly lacks a certain grace under pressure, which would probably be a nice trait to have, you know, if you want to run for the fucking presidency and need to be on and on camera like all the time, but, i think these depictions of him having to be performatively upbeat in the face of the media, and not being really that good at it, isn't alien, but pretty relatable. like, if your life's ambitions were constantly on a knifes edge, and you have to be continually browbeaten about it by the msm press-core, some of the most annoying and cynical people alive, you might, humanly, naturally, with barely contained rage, soyface like a muppet too.
