Jean-Jacques Rousseau had a terrible reputation for ‘siring’ children and abandoning them on the steps of nunneries. My French professor would mentioned that no records existed of these children — and the nuns kept fairly strict records. He was convinced that Rousseau started these rumours, himself.

I really thought he was gay and in the closet. Now it’s getting really weird.

That tweet aged so poorly, even Matt Gaetz wouldn’t try to fuck it.

that didn’t age well

As soon as I saw the thing about him possibly leaving early to go join the actual fake news I told my wife, ok what scandal is he trying to get ahead of. Then a couple hours later it was revealed. He’s clearly trying to channel his inner Trump with his excuses and spin but he’s no Teflon Don. 

There is always a tweet.

Remember the good ol’ days when Republicans just cruised men’s room? Pepperidge Farm remembers...

I thought he liked boys?

Fake news. His father got him out of multiple DUIs. 

So this fucker went on Tucker today and even Tucker called BS on his story — well as best that he could. When you lose Tucker Carlson you done  fucked up and are no doubt a horrible child rapist. 

According to three people briefed on the matter, the scrutiny of Gaetz’s conduct is part of a larger investigation into his political ally, local Florida official Joel Greenberg. Greenberg was indicted last summer on charges which included both the sex trafficking of a child, as well as financially supporting a…

The reports today that he was thinking about an early retirement from Congress to work at Newsmax stunk to high heaven. An ambitious bootlicker like Gaetz doesn’t just jump ship like that. He was probably trying to get out and ink a lucrative deal before the investigation became public, so that he could then pretend…

Oddly enough, they’ll be announcing the person they select on the second day of Pesach, which is a three-day-chag this year because the first night is Saturday. That means I and other religious Jews can’t participate in a 24-hour digital detox because of a 73-hour digital detox.

I think the Democratic establishment’s plan here is that a known quantity in Greene, who showcases to the general American public just how utterly insane the GOP has become, is useful in that while there are still FAR too many Americans agree with her, most don’t, and many more think she’s fucking bananas.

That tweet re: Twitter is peak Karen, right there.

Yes, this as an absolutely accurate description of the Tara Reade allegation aftermath. It does not oversimplify it at all or ignore the fact that not only a single aspect of her accusation could be verified, she literally started backtracking when there were attempts to find some of that supporting information like…

Seriously. Reade has been about as debunked as any sexual assault accuser ever could be. Biden’s certainly had his problems with appropriate behavior toward women, and the constant handsiness and treatment of Anita Hill don’t help at all. But Reade’s allegation was garbage. Jezebel’s commitment to believing women is…

Shock and awe that the guy who underreported nursing home deaths is wearing the mask under his nose. Trump was terrible on his own but how low he set the bar for other people will always be upsetting.

From what I remember, Jez beat that drum for a dozen articles and NEVER backed down, even when it was clear Reade was full of shit. One of many infuriating things about this blog.

the President, who has been accused of sexual assault,
