I have only seen hard-core right wingers bleating the crap about deleted emails. 90% of the discussion has been positive for Clinton. But keep dreaming on in your bubble, big guy.

Yes it is. I've seen universally positive coverage of this tweet. Also, it's not like people aren't talking about those emails anyway.

How good do you think it felt to be the staffer that wrote that and got it approved? I’d be like

The Washington Post article is a little clearer — she wrote three suicide notes, each addressed to a different family member. Now she claims not to remember writing them, so I suppose her defense strategy is to claim that the mystery shooter forced her to write them and then shot her. Not very believable.

African greys are crazy smart and have the cognitive function of a human toddler. I can believe that the parrot remembers his owner being killed.

Tina, I don’t know how long you’ve been Gawkering around but I am a veteran of almost—GOD I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS—a decade and in the olden days of Gawk and Jez the commenters used to routinely eviscerate the writers in the comments.

Lauren has gotten some pretty vicious comments on her articles today.

1. The Catholic Church (and most other christian churches) ban on contraception and abortion is well known, It still has very little to do with the fact that people are evil and will abuse children with or without their consent. Unless the child pedophilia ring in Cebu is actually a church sponsored event, then they…

My mom was born in Cebu. Yes, there is a major problem with poverty, corruption an child sex abuse but you can’t blame the church for all of it. All their issues stem from greed. I’m not a big fan of the Catholic church or organised religion in general but it’s just irrational for anybody to blame the church for all…

Irrelevant in terms of their impact on the actions of the accused. The defense was trying to use the actions of the girl’s family as a mitigating circumstance on behalf of his client, and the judge wasn’t having it.

My most favorite thing is how everyone on the internet is suddenly a gorilla behavior expert, but you know...the zoo people didn’t know what they were doing and totally didn’t recognize the “protective” behavior of the gorilla. They’ve only been working with these gorillas since birth and dedicated their lives to…

I, too, am getting really fucking tired of being told how to feel about it from every goddamn angle of life. It’s like-guess what? I’m sad the gorilla died, I feel for the mother who was probably scared beyond belief and ALSO, I think she maybe screwed up some, plus I am able to see the rationale behind shooting the…

Every comments section on any of these articles (actually, pretty much every Internet post about this) has been an absolute shitpile.

I’m so tired of this story in every single way.

No! It's so sad when a contract expires.

Your point is an interesting, though uncomfortable one — sorry you’re getting piled on. I usually find myself rolling my eyes at the “Wow that sucks, so here’s a picture of MY PET BUNNY WABBIT!” posts on news about deeply tragic shit. I never respond because I know I’ll get piled on.

I get what you’re saying and also find it odd but it happens a lot here so I think this will fall on deaf ears. I try to imagine a real life conversation about the murder and then someone chiming in with “that’s horrifying, so anyway, let me tell you about this cake I just baked bc it makes me feel better”. In real…

What's the point of a comment like this? You aren't the only one to do it, sometimes people make it about animals or gifs...but why? If the article bothers you so much that you can't comment on it, then why don't you just not comment? Why try to get attention for your feelings and your cake on an article about someone…

Here’s hoping avoiding using the quote itself will preclude assholes from showing up to passionately argue that it’s just not FAIR to suggest women being tortured, raped and murdered is somehow worse than men’s feelings being hurt.
