I did not know who John Fetterman was before last week. I did not realize how much I needed him in my life. 

Let’s not forget that she’s complicit and just as bad as everyone else in his orbit. She stood by him while he fucked porn stars behind her back. She was all in on birtherism, she said that Jewish writer Julia Ioffe provoked the vile antisemitic attacks she received after writing a profile of her, etc.  She’s just as…

“In a caucus call this week, prominent Democrats blamed progressive messaging on their losses, “don’t say socialism, ever,” they said; we’re not going to win if we “run on Medicare for All, defund the police.””

Poll after poll shows the general pubic is NOT in support of adding more justices.

Specifically, do we really want more justices added every 4-8 years when the senate swings?

Yeah, the Republicans gloves are already off (and have been for a while). If Democrats aren’t willing to do the same, we’re screwed. Democrats are busy taking the high road while Republicans are hauling ass on a shortcut through the woods.

I don’t blame Democrats for not stopping this nomination, or for not doing a bunch of procedural shit or whatever to delay it....it was a foregone conclusion no matter what. But now, there is no coherent argument I can think of to not expand the court, except “Well, Democrats might not win the White House or the…

God, I always hated Ziggy

Tiegen had been posting regularly about their journey with this pregnancy from the beginning. I can imagine that, having had the pregnancy end in this way, she would want to get out in front of the story and post it herself.

I think the new writers (and Joan is the worst offender, but it’s a site-wide issue) forget some of us are older and have been reading this site since there was some well-researched longform political journalism amidst the snarky hot takes. Now it’s a sea of tiresome, shallow “SmAsH CaPiTaLiSm” and “EaT tHe RiCh”…

It should also be noted that Rob Reiner is Jewish, ie one of those “elites” that McConnell et al constantly refer to in coded terms. Yes, he’s also a white Ashkenazi Jew (and there is definitely tension between white Jews and Mizrachi Jews and Jews of colour in general), and yes, there are Republican Jews (including,…

Ah, Meathead. Also ashamed to realize I briefly forgot Princess Bride.

That’s sort of been my issue with Jezebel for awhile. Not to get all “get off my lawn...” but I’ve felt this site really needed a more diverse group of female writers who span 20s-60+. Then I think the writing would have a richer, smarter and more interesting take on all elements: politics, entertainment, etc. I’ve…

Not to mention he got his start as the liberal son-in-law of bigoted Archie Bunker on the groundbreaking sitcom All in the Family. But I guess that’s too far back for most of the readers on this site.

They are copying conservatives who are proud to be ignorant. To what end, I have no idea, but they do love to play up their lack of knowledge or ability to do a quick internet search.

Seriously- this is the least surprising position for Rob Reiner to take. I can’t quite wrap my mind around the blissful ignorance here.

In addition to what other commenters have said about Rob Reiner’s progressive credentials, just a week ago, he and the surviving cast of The Princess Bride (minus Fred Savage and Malcolm Storry) livestreamed a table read of the screenplay (plus a Q&A after) to raise funds for Wisconsin Democrats. So that tweet isn’t…

Millennial progressives are fucking ignorant as all hell and their schtick is past annoying and tired at this point.

Or...you know, watching ANY movie he’s ever directed. (This Is Spinal Tap; Stand by Me; A Few Good Men; The American President; When Harry Met Sally; just off the top of my head). I know she’s young, but how does someone miss those movies?

I had to re-read that statement twice because I was so taken aback. Not sure how old this writer is, but you’re right, a 30-second google search could have provided her some insight.
