It’s not. It’s merely a successful reframing device effectively employed by mealy-mouthed jokes like Mika Brzezinski and Maggie Haberman.

Michelle Wolf didn’t actually make fun of Sanders’ looks, though. The actual quote: “she burns facts and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smokey eye. Like maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies. It’s probably lies.” How is saying someone has “perfect” makeup insulting her looks?

While it hasn’t been nasty, this is still my favorite thing Jennifer Garner has ever said:

I went to law school, and I’ve heard some absolutely absurd arguments in my time, but holy crap on a cracker, this takes the cake.

If you were talking about a singular, non-proper name orange, then yes, it would be “la naranja”. But since they are referring to a specific person who identifies as male and happens to be orange, you would say “El Naranja”.

Two things.

“We don’t know if this was racist”

All of this! Even in these comments I’m seeing a lot of “My parents help me, but....”. BUT count your blessings because there are people out there who are up to their eyeballs in student debt. BUT people who aren’t being monetarily subsidized have had to go without basic necessities to even get to a point where they…

If your family has money you’re going to advance farther and faster than those who don’t enjoy that privilege even though the argument could be made that someone from money doesn’t need that crucial leg up to begin with. We are living in a society where having money is rewarded with opportunity and more money while…

My problem with this one wasn’t the privilege of the diarist. I don’t know her, maybe she’s insufferable or feels that she’s truly “roughing it”, but generally, get by however you need to. My folks are helping me move apartments right now (though it’s nowhere close to a monthly allowance and will be paid back), and if…

Dude is probably secretly excited about being confronted publicly. Now, he can justify all of his security detail and first class travel.

The bill also required unlicensed clinics to notify clients that they were not licensed by the state to provide medical services.

There must never be a redemption arc for the GOP. Destroy them utterly. Leave them so completely neutered and destitute that they’re never able to rebuild the tatters of their garbage fucking party.

Give the people what they want:

But she doesn’t “identify” as a woman. She is a woman. She is a woman who naturally has more testosterone than most other women. This is how she was born, and she hasn’t done anything wrong.

You’re not wrong - everyone in medal contention at the Olympic level has an inherent athletic advantage. Literally all of them are operating physiologically differently by various quantitative measures that they’re born with. You and I could never be Olympic-grade athletes no matter how hard we trained and pushed,…

I think the governing body for the sport has claimed that hypoandrogenism constitutes an unfair advantage, but higher authorities have ruled those claims unsupported and said they will reconsider instituting the ban on hypoandrogenous athletes if/when the sport presents evidence to support their claims. At least that…

I guess the same way that you ignore the fact that some people have longer legs. It’s a natural physiological difference.

So you’re saying send vats of lube to the Harlem UPS store, c/o Doogie. I’m on it!
