I give you hexbears permission to joke about the thing

Also I can joke about the thing because I have done that action and will do it again though after the image of the persons we're joking about has left my head

Need the Pats to destroy the Jets tonight as revenge for having to hear about Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa and their inane election and their tiresome politics for months on end

Good post, and I'd like to add something about one of those jokes: the "I'm hearing so-and-so said the Shahada and received the light of Islam on their deathbed" joke originally came from a twitter post that someone wrote when Billy Graham died, which successfully trolled a bunch of conservative Evangelicals. Whether you think the original post was right or wrong to make, there obviously aren't any conservative Evangelicals on hexbear to troll, so the original point of the joke becomes lost and we're all just repeating a tired reference at each other.

He was embracing wokeness and they killed him for it.

That or they're trying to trigger a coup, but you would think it would have happened already if that were the case. They may have thought they had someone on the inside ready to assume power, but for some reason it hasn't come together.

When they tried ousting Maduro for Guaido in 2017, there were massive protests against the government, and the opposition was very active. Maduro's position this time appears to be much stronger.

It appears that the Trump administration is deeply divided as to whether they actually want to launch this war. Of course, that could be some kind of deception, but one would think the deception wouldn't have lasted so long.

Imagine being so fatphobic that you go down as the worst general manager in the history of sports.
