Added sugar is one thing, but fruit? No, no, no.

“I don’t endorse the way the majority of Jez authors respond to commenters — in fact it pisses me off — but I would say they are all short tempered and defensive.”

My excuse is that I was banned from Jez for posting a gif of Belushi smashing that guy's guitar from Animal House. Granted, it was around the time of the UVA thing. But years later one of the Jez writers used the same still. Go figure. I don't talk shit, though. (or at least I don't think I do.)

Honestly, I know they fly off the handle at dumb things and seem petty about commenters but if they really, truly had thin skins about all this, they would all have quit after a week on the job.

Don't actually address it or anything

....It’s fresh because Jezebel flip flops on its supposed feminism whenever it’s convenient for page clicks, or when readers call you out on your wildly inconsistent feminism. You’re the ones who constantly dodge the issue.

“Can a feminist blog and the first female nominee really not have a serious, substantive discussion?”

I’m not saying the issue isn’t fair game. But the fact that everyone’s criticizing her with NO HARD EVIDENCE THAT SHE DID ANYTHING WRONG, that’s irritating.

I’m sure it is under investigation. But if there was actual hard evidence of fraud or unlawful presence or any of that, they would have published something documenting that; as is, it’s all “Questions Plague Melania Trump’s Immigration Blah-Blah”.

That is exactly applicable to a B-1, though. B-1 is business visitor; B-2 is tourist. The application and renewal processes for them are exactly the same.

BUT THERE’S NO ACTUAL EVIDENCE OF MISCONDUCT (YET). At best, we have a bunch of armchair immigration attorneys coming up with scenarios under which she MIGHT have been unlawfully employed or MIGHT have committed immigration fraud, but no actual evidence. So there’s no hypocrisy, because there’s no evidence she did…

What visa is that? Even a B-1 business visitor visa allows work in the U.S. as long as that work is performed for a non-US employer; so for example, if she worked for a modeling agency outside the U.S., which was then paid for the work she shot in the U.S. (and this is how models are often paid, through the modeling…

“But still, yes, it was illegal.”

Meh. Obviously shouldn’t lie under oath, but I don’t actually care whether she has a college degree or not.

Why and how ?

Don’t put words in my mouth.

YES. The answer is always YES.

Joking about Caitlyn Jenner being a phony is not the same thing as joking about all transpersons.

Thinking Caitlyn Jenner is a phony is not transphobic.

She’s got loads of dough. Crossdressing was Bruce/Caitlyn’s sexual FETISH that has now been shared with the whole world. Imagine how great it must feel to be a multimillionaire narcissist, to have your fetish validated by being hailed as being “stunning and brave”, appearing on magazine covers in lingerie and not even…
