I can more or less get behind the specifically profiled people being worse (even the coke baron in Miami, since I can only assume he’s had people killed, if not killed people by his own hand), since those people are uniformly terrible, and long-term exploit others and make them miserable; it just seemed like there was…

Even if she did kill her husband, as between her . . . and the various other big cat/private zoo owners. 

He can more or less say anything he wants. Trump and McConnell voters don’t care that the worst of this might be Trump’s fault, and they don’t care that McConnell is lying about it now. All they want is a narrative that puts the blame on Democrats, no matter how thin or implausible, that they can get behind in order…

You just can’t conflate “white supremacy”, the instantiated political and economic reality of our society, with the individual policies that spring up as a result of, and to perpetuate, that political and economic state of affairs. Coronavirus will not cure white supremacy because, at the other end of this thing,…

I guess I don’t give a ton of weight to the Putin connection because a) if this were a Russian ploy, why would their pawn be someone so obvious and

I think Jez is very liberal with how/when they switch between their “lol tabloid” and “Real Journalism™” hats. A lot of the time it’s something sort of in between—they get a-hold of the story, and give their take. In this case, the cat is out of the bag with regard to Reade—the internet hype machine is going, and now…

I don’t think that rape victims need their entire life vetted in order to make them credible victims. As I’ve said, the Putin opinions are stupid, but people can have stupid opinions and still be victims.

You didn’t even make it a full paragraph before implying she might be “literally delusional.” This is so predictable and sad.

Maybe the first time I’ve ever seen coverage of a celebrity sighting in Coral Gables. I’m sure the residents of the Gables are looooving having the Paparazzi skulking around like a bunch of weasels.

This isn’t really analogous to the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Bill Clinton has been accused of rape and sexual assault by plenty of women, but Lewinsky isn’t one of them. The Lewinsky scandal was not something Lewinsky sought or desired—she did not try to accuse Clinton of anything. She told Linda Tripp some shit, Linda…

You can believe she’s telling the truth and still acknowledge that this Putin shit hurts her credibility.

Unfortunately, it’s relevant to evaluating the credibility of allegations.

The mishandling of these allegations do a disservice to everyone—other survivors, listeners, and even reporters attempting to break sexual assault stories—but most of all Reade, who deserves to have her story told responsibly.

Then he can go back to countin’ his shekels.

Tipping when ordering take-out is just a decent thing to do all around. 

Hey now, Pitbull has a much better career than Flo Rida! 

White collar criminals being rated low on the “imminent threat to the afety of others” scale makes sense to me. But that’s it. Rating violent criminals high (violent against people—stealing cars doesn’t count) would also make sense to me—but the above doesn’t say they’re even doing that. But drug offender and people…

He should re-open with some rallies—really pack in the supporters nice and close. Invite all the CPAC speakers, too. Hold hands.

No, these fuckin’ adults are in their 20's.

I hadn’t seen the entry on Wikipedia for this, but it seemed refreshingly approachable.
