Yeah, the framing in this article is so laughable and ignorant it left me speechless. “Ceausescu died today. He is credited with the creation of an impressive dam which generates electricity for millions. [he also maimed and killed and inprisoned people and destroyed any and all rights and kept his country at the edge…

I have family members saying the same thing. Fidel betrayed the people and later, manipulated VZLA, and now look at Caracas. His regime never could provide decent food, but never skimped on PR.

I’ll settle for “he was terrible.” That’s an appropriate eulogy.

My mom called me crying from a casino in Vegas. She was born in Havana a month after he took power and lived in that hell for twelve years. I’m so happy my Grandpa got to see this day. Fuck Castro.

“St. Patty’s day weekend is like Christmas for black dudes who like white chicks. Happy holidays boys..” Yes this is gross has hell....My gawd people...it’s St Patrick’s Day or Paddy’s day, not PATTY!

People say stupid shit. We ALL say stupid shit. And you know what? Jezebel hot take: I actually think this was kind of funny (ducks)

He spent 6 years as a pow. He declined to leave when offered. What the fuck have you done? His grandfather, father and son ALL service members. One more time; what the fuck have you or anyone you know done that even slightly compares?

Why? It seems to make women have sex when they don’t want to.

This is not at all how I thought clinical hypnosis worked. I wrote a short film about it a few years ago. Everyone I spoke to said that you don’t lose consciousness and commanding people to forget things does not work. I absolutely believe these women were assulted. I just don’t understand how.

Two pretty key things he got right; first, people mistakenly believed that Clinton had an advantage with the electoral college. She did not. Second, unlike most elections, the level of uncertainty about the outcome was increasing rather than decreasing according to his model as the election approached, which is the…

IT IS NOT NATE SILVER’S FAULT THAT PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND PROBABILITIES. He gave Trump a higher chance of winning the presidency than the Cubs had of coming back and winning the World Series after Game 4 and we literally all JUST saw that happen. He doesn’t conduct the polls, he aggregates them, and there was no way…

I keep reading about 538 (and others) being wrong, but as far as I know all they said was that Hillary had a 70% or so chance of winning. That’s not the same as saying she was going to win, so how exactly were they wrong?

Most people do not understand the concept of probability. If Silver’s model gives Trump a 30% chance of winning, it means that if the election is held 100 times, Trump wins 30 of them. This was one of the 30.

How dare you use civility and common sense.

In my experience with this site, when you say “troll” you mean anyone who has a opinion on this that is different from your own. Even if they are being civil, respectful and calm. People lie from time to time, for various reasons. Men can lie, women can lie, Christians can lie and Muslims can lie too. There are many…

I’m glad she’s going to face some consequences for doing something this shitty. She’s made it harder for women who’ve actually been harassed like this to be believed—as though I didn’t worry enough already about hijab-wearing women in my family being targeted by Trumpites.

Because if you are, and you can’t get passed it, you’re an asshole.

#2 is spot on, and not getting nearly the coverage here it deserves. Trump won the three Rust Belt states by a total of about 100,000 votes, because he actually spoke to them. Three states that Hillary pretty much ignored because they have been blue the last 30 years. The one thing that Trump made a modicum of…

And a significant percentage of them (uncles and managers) voted how they did because of things that are not about culture. Things like Trump saying that he will be ending the below market import of steel for instance. That sort of thing has not been mentioned in a sentence without name-calling in the media that I…

Queens IS one of the most diverse places on Earth, but isn’t that part of the problem? The majority of Trump voters don’t live in places with dope Ethiopian and Georgian restaurants right next to each other; they live in places where Applebee’s is the hot spot
