If white people and Republicans are going to give their own a pass on lapses in party orthodoxy and whatever various past wrongdoings, you’re shooting yourself in the foot if you won’t do the same for your own—i.e., trade some vaunted personal integrity in the name of supporting the sorts of candidates you claim to…

Hard to believe anything could take that crown from Lindsey West in her Jez days.

I think you need to at least claim to know how to fix the problem with education to be Sec. of Education (even if you end up being wrong.) I think Mr. Harriot claims to know what the problem is (and I think he’s probably correct) but he doesn’t seem to claim to have the answers or solutions to those problems—and…

Not even remotely. This was some pretty low hanging fruit. 

I don’t 100% agree that Buttigieg would be a gimmee for the Republicans, but at the same time, I won’t even consider voting for him in the primary for precisely that reason, if only on the off-chance that’s the case.

Indeed, when was the last time he asked for his son's hymen to be checked. I'll wager never! 

I just feel like not voting for every Democrat I can, particularly at the Federal level, is low key like putting a gun in my mouth. The Republican party is so dangerous, and so odious that it's continued grip of power seems like an existential threat.

“i will stay home if he makes it out of the primaries. he will lose the presidential campaign.”

My take is that, unfortunately, conservatives and the alt-right are not just normalizing ugly and harmful substantive political ideas, but are normalizing the toxic, harmful, and unethical methods in which they perform politics and reporting. I’m just waiting for the day the left gets its own Mike Cernovich, and I’m…

Holy shit, I’m not 100% fine with Biden’s response here (there’s no legit argument against self-defense in any situation, so his proviso was not necessary,) but the fact that he added that bit at the end is incredibly important! I realize Jez has a polemical style a particular sociopolitical editorial slant, but I'm…

Jussie doesn’t sound like he’s getting very good legal advice. The more he fights this, the higher the bill is going to get—the statute that authorizes the city’s cause of action contains a one-way attorney’s fee provision. He needs to just negotiate a settlement with Chicago (if they have any sense they’ll work with…

I like seeing the ladies of country get due representation re- Best Country Album. I hope Interstate Gospel wins.

I’m as ready as most people to believe in the depths of human stupidity, but I think it’s more likely thatHoward wanted to juice up this Q&A by scandalizing the audience, and did so by fabricating an unverifiable, unactionable, batshit absurd anecdote. 

First off, fuck Iowa and NH, and their unearned, arbitrary influence. Second, 100% down with Nos. 2 and 3 above. However, No. 1 above reads a lot like the argument is not just about giving black people more of a voice, but more specifically, giving the “right” black people more of a voice. And look, I want *actually* l…

It can exist but be utterly toothless, ineffective, and not even remotely the scourge or bulldozer that conservative reactionaries make it out to be.

Can someone knowledgeable in employment discrimination law comment on whether this behavior, even if motivated by a discriminatory racial or gender-based animus, is actually actionable given her relationship to Netflix? She’s not an employee seeking advancement within the company—she’s probably considered an…

Somehow I see this guy fitting right in with whatever white supremacist gang(s) and COʼs, so, he may be able to find protection. 

Don’t forget that he’s owed time-and-a-half for every hour workedover 40 in a single given week. 

Looks like a young Walter Mercado—but, like, if Walter had had all the plastic surgery while still young.

50 only? How many POTUSes of the past 100 years haven't been mass murderers?
