In this case, they found a gun. The wife said there wasn’t one, but she was wrong. She also had known he had a gun because she had filed a domestic violence report against him before the incident and said he had one. Having TBI doesn’t mean you are excused from obeying a “drop the gun” order.

Marginalizing people who did not go to college is not going to help the Democratic party, either.

He murdered tons of people, but because he’s left of center I’m going to defend him!

The $15 minimum wage idea is nice-sounding, but fraught with peril. It will escalate the drive for large corporations to automate and eliminate labor. Smaller businesses will go away in large numbers, and what will be unseen is the number of small businesses that will never open going forward.

I like how rural white that want manufacturing jobs to return are delusional, but people who want $15 an hour for unskilled labor are righteous.

Compared to 2011, ‘12, and ‘13 it was.

I really thought you were talking about your aldermen.

Here in Chicago, we’ve had two mild winters in a row, so the usual winter die-off hasn’t occurred.

Well, the argument they are making is stretching something that is true and has a sound basis in law (kids shouldn’t have complete autonomy over their bodies) and stretching it out to a terrible extreme. Like, we would all tell our 10 year old no if they didn’t want to have life saving surgeries because the doctor…

Compound Trump’s terrifying shortcomings with Obama’s strengthening of the Executive and a Republican-controlled Congress, and you have a recipe for unchecked executive overreach.

24 weeks? Seriously? Is this posted so we should all say charging her is so wrong?

Each day I’m more and more convinced that the commenters on Jezebel have never met anyone that isn’t like them (except their uncle or in-laws that they hate). The inability to grasp we lost is astonishing. The majority of people don’t find identity politics appealing. Most people vote for what they perceive to be the…

The flavor of Jezebel lately has been “circle the wagons” and “we ran a perfect campaign”. As goes our comments’ section, so goes the nation, I always say.

Don’t be a dick. Even if she agrees with the toolbag, she’s offering sound political advocacy advice to an obviously liberal audience.

That glass ceiling looks nice and intact.

Ham, I agree with the basic thesis of this argument. But think how much of Trump’s plank was built around things unions are theoretically for: stopping NAFTA and the TPP, bringing manufacturing/coal mining back to the US, etc. What’s the impetus for the unions to ignore the individual members who were swayed by the…

This is a huge thing on the internet right now but it’s such a bad idea. The Electoral College making Clinton president will surely cause a HUGE upheaval. We’re seeing the protests now but the protests from the right would be insane.

The most bewildering thing is that they (liberals/democrats) thought that they could beat white middle-class Americans into submission by continually calling them racist the past 8 years because they didn’t support Obama and his policies whole-hog.

Amen. Leave New York for a few fucking minutes and don’t look at us folks who live between the coasts like sad zoo animals living in a relentless hell where we can’t go see Hamilton on a given Wednesday night or eat at the world’s greatest Korean German fusion farm to table restaurant. That would be a good start.

Drive a cheap car you can buy with savings, yes cut out useless cable, work during school to pay tuition, and don’t get a car payment. That is the example, otherwise be broke. You have chosen broke, own it!
