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

And the last time he leaned left was when marijuana was counter culture.
He got some street cred for getting banned for basically doing Hasan's "America deserved 9/11" bit but like, RIGHT AFTER 9/11 and getting the show he had cancelled I think.
That said he was like, agreeing with Dinesh D'Souza at the time apparently? Lmao didint even know that guy existed back then.
Using words for their impact and not their meaning was as popular back then as it is now and if I recall correctly he got fired because he did a monologue about how the terrorists weren't cowards, which was one of the things in the bullhorn at the time. He might have also talked about blowback but the thing everybody cared about was the coward thing.
Yeah in the statement he said "We're cowards for throwing missles" which was spot on but I dont think thats the part that upset people.
