Hey Jez - can we stop using terms for positions that refer to people’s sex/gender? We no longer use terms like “mailman” and “mailwoman” or “fireman” - we use gender neutral terms like mail carrier and firefighter. Why cling to the terms “congressman” and “congresswoman” when “member of congress” (or representative…

He probably would have, if he had any cash and knew how envelopes work. 

So, I mean, it goes without saying that it is very bad that Trump is soliciting fraud, and issuing vague threats, in an attempt to essentially stage a coup. But for some reason I can’t really articulate, it somehow makes me angrier that he’s so fucking bad at it. Like, even if Raffensperger (who is a piece of shit…

I’ve wondered that myself and used to think it would be Russia, but by this point I’d guess Putin thinks donnie has outlasted his usefulness.

Wait, Trump knew that there were multiple people on the phone and all parties would likely be taping it.. And still decided to say that?

It definitely requires criminal investigation, and it definitely won’t happen. The GOP sold their souls to this piece of shit to ram some tax cuts through and get a Bible thumper and a rapist on the Supreme Court. The fact that Cruz—after being repeatedly insulted by Trump—still has his nose up this guy’s orange ass…

I would argue that hating Bill de Blasio is the one thing that unites all people!

I’ve yet to see any evidence this woman had a history of mental illness before started dating a bomber. And this doesn’t change the fact that the police have investigated and done worse to minorities based on less.

Yeah, I imagine living with a man who was storing weapons in her house and was planning to commit a terrorist act might have had something to do with her distress. Just a guess.

Oh, wow, so you’re saying that it turns out yet another white guy with mental problems actually had a history with the police and if they had done their fucking jobs another incident of domestic terrorism could have possibly been prevented?

“a severely mentally-ill girlfriend”

What evidence do we have that she was “mentally ill” aside from the fact that she called the police on her boyfriend for building bombs in his RV? (Which he was actually doing. I’m guessing the fact that she thought she had the right to question an old white man and take his guns is…

If I found out my spouse was making bombs in the back yard, I would be having a mental health crisis as well...

If the person you were accusing of a crime was a black and brown person, the cops would have been more likely to take you seriously using historic precedent. There was no evidence this woman was mentally ill.

Soul was a good but not great film. The one major gripe I have with its story was not mentioned in this piece. Joe spends his life believing that music is his passion, and after a long-awaited performance leaves him feeling empty, and after seeing how rewarding helping others is, he realizes that being a teacher (and…

Yep. He's a QAnon conspiracy theorist and the whole "he wanted to minimize human casualties" is EXACTLY the narrative that right-wing conspiracy theorists WANT you to lead with, so it's good to see how well it's working out for them. Moderate Democrats are all too eager to help humanize him. So sweet! 

Honestly, this site has gone downhill and it’s not the articles. The comments section has made me realize that moderate Democrats are the new Conservative movement.

I’m well aware of the recording, hon. I live here. The recording also drew people in who were curious. My point is, the man detonated a bomb that decimated an entire block, so acting like he’s some compassionate person is hilarious.

Yeah, but he had his property surrounded by fences, surveillance cameras, and possible trip-wires. Things that totally innocent people do all the time.

I love how a girlfriend’s highly specific and unprompted statement, corroborated by a lawyer who also represented the alleged bomb builder, that the guy was building bombs in an identified location is seen as insufficient for a warrant to search said location, but...

Damn straight - so many people could have been killed by a bomb of that size. I know I’m taking liberties in speculating, but....I can just picture these cops chuckling about the vindictive “crazy lady” trying to make her poor man’s life difficult as they call for the ambulance so she can get her head examined. “Unbeli…
