Jesus, people, give it up. This is why we lost...just because you hate him and find him odious and vile and everything that is wrong with America and colossally unsuited for the job doesn’t mean he doesn’t want it. You assume he’s going to hate it because you assume that he’s going to approach it the same way that…

You’re interpretation of what constitutes an opinion leaves much to be desired. President-elect Trump (or any president for that matter) does not possess standing to propose an amendment without the cooperation of the Senate leadership for the simple fact that the Senate majority leader, in this case McConnell who has…

Please point to which sections of NPR’s analysis are untrue. DT says he will propose an amendment. Constitutionally he does not have standing to propose an amendment by himself. That is a fact, not an opinion. Had DT said, “I will work with Senate Leadership to propose an amendment” that would have been a fact or…

Fuck yeah, Middle Georgia represent! Where did y’all stay? Perry?

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, is it? I am genuinely puzzled by your commitment to fostering voting irregularities under the guise of misplaced compassion. To the extent that Donald Trump is asking for lawfully-enacted electoral processes to be fairly enforced, he is not wrong, per se. If you’d…

The right thing in this case was to follow the rules which ensure that we have orderly, fair and impartial electoral processes as much as possible. Which she did.

So much nope. That’s not how it works. As a poll worker she doesn’t have discretion. She would have been breaking the law and opening herself up to prosecution all the while destroying everyone else’s faith in the system. What if that kid were a known supporter of a certain candidate and somebody from the…

You handled lovetonight’s hot take much better than I would have. You had a job to do. You did it fairly. Would democracy have fallen apart had you let the kid vote? Of course not. Your fair application of the rule of law made it a little stronger though.

Holy cow. I hardly know where to start unpacking that response. With your first paragraph you’re essentially saying “Hey, things could be worse so what are you complaining about?” Then you go on to say that YOU have much more important things to worry about...that’s the point. Because you, like me (I’m assuming…

The argument, which I suspect you well-know, isn’t that ride-sharing services themselves are inherently terrible to women and/or people of color (ie they engage in unfair hiring practices or have a business plan that is explicitly racist such as “Serving Only Whites” )but that the ride-sharing services’ designs allow…

And what is maddening is that this is only true in the most superficial of senses insofar as there had never been a literal office called “President” before but completely ignores nearly every other facet of both Washington’s life experience and crucially, temperament. While he is obviously flawed from a modern…

We don’t know from Baylor’s statement whether she brought up the movie rights or if it was in the settlement they offered her (ie, as part of taking this money you agree to forfeit your right to tell your story in any format, etc.) A story as big as this one, she’d be a fool to sign those rights away.

You know who else was widely regarded as a teetotaler and was famous for his ability to operate on very little sleep but in actuality was hopped up on doctor prescribed opiates/narcotics most of the time while condemning others for their drug use?

WTF is even the point of that Tweet? Why would anyone think that’s worthy of capturing and sharing with the world?

We are not screwing around, Philly.

That’s the spirit! When you can’t win an argument based on the merits of your position, throw out the name-calling! Even though you’ve proven yourself unsuited to having a rational discussion based on facts, I promise that I won’t mentally chalk it up to your hormones or it being that time of the month or even use…

I have looked high and low for some mention of Hillary actually appearing at the convention on the night of the roll-call and can find ZERO references to it. Please. Please. I’m begging you — send me a link or a picture from an actual news outlet (the posts of other ill-informed Jezebel commenters don’t count) stating…

You are factually incorrect. Obama made a surprise appearance at the end of the night of his roll call vote (August 27, 2008) which is why some newspapers were able to run a photo of him with headlines similar to “Obama Wins Nomination”.

Believe it or not I actually do see both sides. But if I look at the bigger picture (pun intended) from a newspaper editor’s point of view — if I don’t have a good picture of the candidate from the event and I know I’m only going to realistically have one shot at an iconic front page, do I try to shoehorn something in…

I think you made a very valid point. I would agree that there were probably better ways to thread the needle in this case, but I would attribute the choice to a combination of printing deadlines and more visually striking images to choose from (a lone figure standing before a crowd vs a crowd shot - especially when…
