Indeed, apparently if you’re gay, but don't have Jonathan Van Ness' affect, you're a big phony. 

“Pete is exactly what Rick Santorum wants gay people to be:”

Unless you’re planning to live another 50-60 years, I would greatly temper those expectations. SCOTUS is very likely lost to liberals for the next few decades.

Unless those abortions were performed against the woman’s consent, I don’t see the problem here. All I see here are 19 million instances of a black woman exercising her hard-fought control over her own reproduction.

The suitability of Buttigieg aside, the volume of homophobic comments here *not* in the grays is disappointing.

It’s a good thing the remaining top 3 frontarunners are *not* white millionaires or billionaires older than Donald Trump, and that all 3 are lifelong champions of racial equality and have in their respective platforms policy proposals at least as thoughtful as the Douglass plan.

I guess it was just naive to think that maybe the candidate could have been someone who was born after the widespread proliferation of the integrated circuit.

Is Joe though?

I don’t think any candidate will actually rally enough of the left to overwin to the extent necessary to beat Trump and the GOP’s unfair electoral bonus. So the question for me is largely who will be better for down-the-ballot Democratic candidates. I don't think that's Bernie who isn't even a Democrat in the first…

A fellow adult! 

The NDA in these kinds of cases is too practical to serve as an indicia of evil (or whatever you want to call it). The left has demonstrated that guilt by association is perfectly valid, and that there is no quarter once allegations have been made (regardless of whether they’re ultimately substantiated or not). Maybe…

As a larger question, I think we need to ask what the common thread is between the several communities most targeted by Russian troll misinformation efforts that makes them so vulnerable to manipulation. 

The premise underlying the outrage is that there is no excusable or justifiable circumstance under which it would be permissible for a white person to use this word. I’m sure an exception would be made if someone were forced to say it under duress (i.e., threated with harm if they didn’t say it), but, frankly, that’s…

Yeah, he looks like shit.

And Keanu Reeves is goodness incarnate, I suppose. 

Violent crime is lower than its been in decades, and it’s most prevalent in cities... and yet white people in flyover country are acting like it’s the fucking crime apocalypse. 

The point of prison isn’t supposed to be that it brutalizes people—it’s supposed to be adult time out (sometimes forever). Prison violence, and the inhumanity of the carcerel system should be thought of as failings, not “features” of the system.

This why I’m a single issue voter—not because I don’t care about lots things besides SCOTUS, but because SCOTUS decisions so often come down to a simple good/bad binary, and there’s rarely any going back. Election finance reform GOOD. Freeppass or child killers hidingbbehind the artifice of law enforcement BAD.…

What do you expect from a do-nothing, dead weight loss state? If operating a just and decent society were a game, Alabama’s existence would basically serve as a handicap.

The statute the lawsuit is based on allows them to get attorneys fees if they prevail.
