Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Venezuela recognizing contextphobic as president-elect in return would be extremely funny

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 37 points 3 months ago

Better: Not the actual Maduro government, but just Guaidó and Gonzalez

[–] coolusername@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago

i think this type of counter-trolling would be quite effective actually

Bro literally signed a document accepting Maduro's victory before fleeing to Spain

[–] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 42 points 3 months ago

Maduro: I consent
The other person: I consent
The U.S.: no

[–] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 38 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but he was unconstitutionally forced to do that by the Ultra-Evil Socialist Big Government.

Now he's speaking Truth To Power by declaring himself a President in Exile and using the position to loot foreign currency reserves.

He was literally shaking hands with Maduro's foreign policy minister lol

[–] BashfulBob@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago

Against his will! I've got a dozen body language experts ready to explain why he was signaling strong dissent with that hand shake.

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago

Theres also a video of him doing it lol

[–] Weedian@hexbear.net 44 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Maybe people will chase him down the street throwing chairs at him

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago

My first thought was "No way could this guy withstand a volley of chairs"

First as tragedy, then as Walter Matthau

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago

[–] Des@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

[–] Yor@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

total downgrade from the last guy, appearance-wise.

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago
