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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

The result of centuries of machine politics. A party full of people with tepid porridge for brains there not for their skills or grassroots building but because of who their husband is.

love how New York politics just openly sounds like an corruption exposé with entirely public information. in other countries i think you have to try to hide it

Okay so there’s this financial disclosure that every NYS employee has to fill out if they earn over ~$111K or are deemed a “policymaker” that list every investment they own. Even if it’s just bog standard pension funds or open market index funds, have to list it every year, and it’s made public.

Back when he was governor, Cuomo’s every year would list that he owned no investments doubt

Easy! Everybody has a salary of 110k and a net worth of 30 kabillion dollars.

Because everyone is an LLC at that level

You get rich enough, then the sovereign citizen logic does indeed apply.
