I don’t give a shit who you’re voting for or what your political leanings are. You can beat your chest all you want about your noble liberalism and how it somehow makes you better than everyone else, your comments are still idiotic and you’re still an idiot by extension. But continue to deflect from the fact that you…

This is a fear that’s completely rational when even a woman’s sexual past, something that has no relevant connection whatsoever to her assault, is commonly used justify letting a rapist walk free. When you’re literally blamed by the so-called justice system for your own assault, it’s almost impossible to not…
Dave Chapelle lives in a world very different from the one the rest of us inhabit.
Don’t be fucking dense. Comedy is very rarely just “jokes” with no deeper meaning. Comedians deliver social and political commentary via their jokes, and the bulk of Chappelle’s work IS social commentary. This particular instance is no different. Comedians shouldn’t get a pass for reinforcing misogynistic, racist,…
You know damn well the outrage has very little to do with what he said about Hillary (even though accusing her of leaking the tape with ZERO evidence to back up such assertions is bullshit worthy of a call-out as well), but you want to pretend otherwise because chances are you’re also a fuckboy who tries to diminish…
I think most people whining about unfair double-standards are being deliberately obtuse because they know damn well what Dave and Amy said about Hillary and Trump are nowhere near in the same ballpark. These people probably share the same problematic views as Dave and hate that they’re being indirectly called out for…
This. Misogynistic bullshit has always been a part of his stand-up repertoire but people have always given him a pass for it because misogyny is so deeply ingrained in our culture that we don’t ever question it. The only reason this is picking up steam is because Trump and Clinton’s names have been invoked.
I’m sorry, but are you seriously suggesting that both comedians should be critiqued the same way with no regard for their commentary and the context they’re made in? Did you even read the article before writing this dumb comment? Nobody’s preventing Chappelle from stating his opinion, people are just calling out the…
My perspective is that he can go fuck himself with a cactus.
It would be a Trumpian argument if anyone was suggesting that Donna Brazile shouldn’t face consequences and lose her job just because Lewandowski hasn’t. This is the logic that Trump supporters operate with when they try to defend their candidate. But that’s not what’s going on here. What people here are doing is…
In other words, you have no argument and no point. “But you wouldn’t complain about it if the shoe were on the other foot!!11" is a stupid thing to say when 1) neither Sipowitz nor anyone else has come remotely close to suggesting they would be okay with hackers trying to influence the outcome of this election just…
I think I’m more fed up from the blatant intellectual dishonesty this election cycle has inspired than I am from the other two things — I’d rather people admit that they’re just bigoted assholes instead of couching it in bullshit attempts at being “fair”.
So your problem isn’t that the hackers are being unfair, it’s that they are being unfair to your preferred nominee.
Yes, because a question in a primary debate about the Flint water crisis will totally decide the fate of next week’s elections. Yes, totally rigged, voter fraud!!!!111
The Simone Biles-level of mental gymnastics you’re engaging in to try and downplay Lewandowski’s troublesome relationship with the Trump campaign that makes it clear as day that he has a conflict of interest that should disqualify him from being hired by a news network makes me disregard anything you have to say on…
If this revelation were coming from the Trump side, most of us on this board would be crowing and saying it was terrible/proved the GOP was corrupt, etc.
That’s actually one of the least problematic things she’s said, believe it or not.
She also has a history of instigating shit and then twisting the story to make herself look like the victim until evidence comes out proving otherwise. That’s why I have no compunction about doubting her honesty in this case. I think believing women who come forward about being assaulted is generally a good rule, but…
I have little empathy for people who use mental illness as a get-out-of-jail-free card for abominable behavior. She’s shown on multiple occasions how she can be incredibly racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic and those are not traits that automatically come with the territory of being mentally ill. If…
