I just need an informal Jezebel commentary on this show. I think it is mildly entertaining and I get why people watch it. But, my beloved Luvvie and I got into a beef over whether Scandal is Emmy-worthy television. Luvvie is under the impression it will be in Best Drama, Best Actor, and Best Actress. I don't think the…

You are on fire tonight!

Can we add "and may he die screaming in a fire" to "fuck him?" I feel that that it is important.

This is a very good pro-tip. With that stupid statement, they are conceding that this shitbird is a rapist, that he raped a child to conceive this child, and that this child was also kept in squalid captivity. Don't mention the "Dad" thing at all, actually. Ever. By ever, I mean EVER.

Is this mendacity or are you really so ignorant that you believe this drivel? I'm going to try to explain this to you like the dimwit you seem to be.

Let's just hope some family court judge does not force the mother to let her visit him in prison. I've heard of that happening more than once, even with very young children. Someone needs to move right away to have his parental rights terminated. There is more than enough grounds for it. Get that shit out of the way…

Yep! No matter how self-destructive to the case or unwise an action or statement is, the decision is ultimately with the client. An attorney can attempt to have the client declared incompetent to make these decisions or participate in their defense using outrageous demands as proof, but they haven't asserted an…

These two are the same legal team who defended Mr. Castro's neighbor Anthony Sowell, another abductor and murderer of poor women of color in the same fucking neighborhood, the police ignored despite concerns from the residence. They defend shithead monsters for a living. Here's there other prize client if you are…

You wouldn't be far off if you thought this were a strategy. Look at "Lawyerin'" Joe Amendola and his crazy strategy to have Jerry Sandusky admit to/not denying attraction to young boys during a national television interviewed. He thought that shit would work. It was dumb and made everyone laugh/vomit, but that was…

They are not public defenders in the way that many people think of them. These two represent notorious defendants. Their most recent "triumph" was representing Mr. Castro's neighbor Anthony Sowell, another man who kidnapped and murdered black or Latina women, for years as Cleveland PD expressed indifference to the…

These two may be being paid by the public, but they are not public defenders in the way many people understand it. They defend serial killers. Indeed, they defended Mr. Castro's serial killer neighbor Anthony Sowell. They will be paid by the tax payers, but they are by no means hapless, underfunded, and inexperienced.…

These two dickbags are the same ones who defended the other women in Cleveland known as "Nobody's Women," namely the black and Latina victims piled up in serial killer Anthony Sowell's house of horrors. Just as was the case back then, Cleveland PD "missed" or simply ignored what was clearly a pattern of abductions and…

This is poor trial strategy. This isn't a story where the public is split to some degree like the Trayvon Martin case. His client CANNOT be rehabilitated in the media, especially not at this time. Enter the plea and wait for the firestorm to die down because every word you raise in his defense, especially ones whining…

Pro-tip: When your client is hated in the public and infamous, wait until the media furor has died down. There is NO WAY this man will win this trial on the courthouse steps and he's only going to inflame the public further, and any attempts to drum up sympathy for them will just make people angrier.

You do know that Christie is anti-choice (he was with an anti-choice fanatics group praying and protesting, calling eliminating abortion rights one of the greatest issues at hand), against marriage equality, has a visceral hatred of teachers/public schools, is anti-union, and, despite his schtick, does drag his…

Thank you for saying this. So many people are buying into this bullshit about Christie being some sort of "reasonable" Republicans. Fuck yes he was nice to Obama when Obama came to New Jersey because New Jersey needed money. Even Paul Ryan applied for and voted for money from the federal government when there were…

Perhaps things were a bit different at my school (from the States). We had to take some broader history classes, but by the second year, our classes were "English Literature of WWI" or courses specifically about said war. There were classes specifically focused on slavery, literature of slavery, the Harlem…

"Anyone can understand..."

I dismissed his comment because it is him and because I saw that comment thread he started about the other person. He's a troll and a liar. I' not surprised that he's scurried away like the deranged sprayed roach that he is when presented with documentations of his bad behavior.

That's right! There is controversy over who his father is, but you are totally right about his being raised thinking his mom was his sister. He was angry about that and the fact that he didn't know who is dad was. Good eye!
