Congressman Adam Schiff dishing some top-shelf snark on Steve Garvey this morning. This is the caliber of snark I once expected from G/O Group writers and commenters but rarely see anymore. Sad.

I suspect I waited too long to become a pediatric sex change zealot. The tide is already turning. It’s a shame really, a missed opportunity.

This is a gross violation of medical ethics. The single most critical prerequisite for a successful transition is conviction that it was the correct decision. Sowing seeds of doubt in trans kids’ minds sets them up for a failed transition. Instead of being content with their decision to transition, they will forever…

Well shit. I was one of those who argued Sen. Feinstein was on the mend after a bout of shingles and it was sexist to demand she resign. I’ll eat some crow and admit she may actually have had significant health issues.

Speaker McCarthy keeps exceeding my expectations. I thought he’d be a wishy-washy figurehead, not a real leader; instead he’s turned out to be a fearless and skillful opponent of Trumpism. Again and again he has stared Trumpist bullies like Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene straight in the eye and told them to go…

There’s nothing wrong with the Root comment sections. Maybe they could use some more regular commenters.

Many trans children are committing suicide because they are limited to reversible treatments. Anything which is reversible can be taken away. Therefore it provides no peace of mind. 

And how many times do they have to be told that nobody transitions in order to win at sports?

A couple years back, my liberal boomer parents fell down that same rabbit hole. They were all for trans rights, they said, but why did trans students “need” to play sports when it would be unfair?

It’s time for women’s sports to evolve past traditional concepts of victory and defeat, which are anachronistic relics of tyrannical patriarchy. The idea that individual athletes win or lose is stereotypical male binary thinking. It’s primitive narcissism. The correct question is not whether individuals win, but…

My fellow coastal liberals looking down their noses at Lauren Boebert need to realize that none of her behavior at the Beetlejuice musical would’ve been inappropriate at a Motley Crue or Poison concert, where such behavior is encouraged and praised as affirmation of a “rock and roll” attitude and lifestyle.

Let’s be real. There are very few Republicans who genuinely want to pass extremist anti-abortion legislation, especially not with an election coming. Hence they’ve designated a few moderate Republicans to play the villain and block passage.  The Democratic Party plays this game too. Democrats routinely pretend to…

Nice comment, but it belongs at Deadspin. Somebody should post it there.

Abortion crushes every time the public gets to vote on it. The reason is these polling numbers showing evangelicals being strongly against abortion are a bunch of baloney. Of course evangelicals will answer an abortion rights poll in the negative, but the truth is they’d rather not have their daughters get knocked up o…

Daniil and Aryna deserved to have their national flags displayed by their names on the American television broadcast. The flaglessness was offensive and contrary to the spirit of good sportsmanship. Chinese players were not subjected to this humiliation. The Chinese flag was proudly displayed, as was proper.

Deja vu. Just six weeks ago Crystal Jewell was telling us about her Adderall habit and having to go cold turkey after she lost her job in high finance. It’s too bad we can’t hear Crystal’s take on Sam Bankman-Fried’s Adderall withdrawal. Crystal certainly didn’t think it was funny when it happened to her.

Disqualifying Trump via 14th Amendment is not a slam dunk, even with a conviction. The 14th was passed in the aftermath of the Civil War, and was clearly intended to apply to former members of the Confederacy.

No definitive links were established, but Hamilton Nolan was believed by many regular Splinter posters to be TomatoFace. I always thought that was a ridiculous conspiracy theory, but I’m not so sure anymore in light of Laura Bassett’s moonlighting as Crystal Jewell. Yes, I believe Hamilton could have been TomatoFace.

Is the neckbeard Hamilton Nolan? I remember there were accounts that made lots of folks wonder if they were Hamilton’s.
