You want the democratically elected leader of the free world assassinated.

It’s my fondest wish that he will keel over from some kind of cardiac event on live television while audibly and visibly shitting himself so that there can be no question of it being a coverup or conspiracy and quash any martyrdom. The craziest will still claim all of those things but I feel like this scenario is the…

I mean, I’m essentially saying judge not lest ye be judged, and you’re saying we should judge literally everybody based on who they associate with. “Your friend was a rapist, so then you must be one too!” You’re essentially advocating a return to McCarthyism. Reactionary bullshit like that always works out so well!

Pervy Roy Moore and Bill Clinton are good examples. Women have said both of them have done skeevy, rapy things to them yet both pervs still have lots of fans. Interestingly, fans of one perv say that fans of the other perv are degenerates.

It’s the “all-time-low” component. People hearken back to the good old days when things were allegedly better even though things weren’t better, just quieter.

So do you not get how some kids don’t have good parents who do this? I mean, you’re basically saying that your kids won’t be assholes because you are a good parent... and you are using this as an argument for accountability.... but some people don’t have good parents. They are going to fuck up. If I was black or poor…

I’d like to nail this post to the Internet’s forehead.

“Can you love someone who did bad things?”

I really appreciate Sarah Silverman and how she’s attempting to take nuanced examinations of things. People are complex and often contradictory in their actions. And I appreciate her airing her thought process out loud.

I will say that the NYT story does make clear that Louie asked for consent in each instance, and did not get naked in the instance where he was told “No.”

I think it is a big deal, and I think you probably do, too, just based on the general tone of this and other comments I’ve read by you. I get what you’re saying, though. There is no redemption in this lifetime for Cosby, Weinstein, or Spacey, but I can see people being ready to hear from Louis CK again. It’s gross and…

Well I almost kind of admire him for saying ‘yeah I did it...I’m not proud of it but I did it.’ I mean c’mon we’re all adults. So a guy masturbates in front of you...his kink...But it’s only cool when it’s consensual so Louie I’m still your fan but I’m a bit disappointed in you.

Shacking up after 1st spouse kicks them out/the bucket.

Of course. NYC’s population is 8.5 million. Plus, New York Post outsells the Daily News and Bernie Goetz was a folk hero and NYPD gets away with what it does for a reason (and Trump’s campaign against the Central Park Five got traction because there was a willing audience). It’s just that working class whites are…

As ever, our national id laid bare.

Yeah, I kinda figured Pam didn’t feel like doing the requisite name change paperwork for the fourth time.

This demographic generally has a history of multiple failed marriages, out-of-wedlock children, and step-children abuse.

She looked at me.

Straight outta Johnstown

We get angry emails about a wide variety of topics, but the emails we—especially our female staffers—get in response to any post about the NFL protests are enraged and incoherent in ways that our standard hate mail isn’t
