Great response to an absolute shit pile of an article from Hannah. I’m embarrassed for her.

When can we shame stupid Trump voters for allowing themselves to be influenced by paid for Russian trolls? That their hatred of Hillary Clinton is so severe they allowed themselves to do the bidding of Vladmir Putin. How can republican voters not feel completely embarrassed for themselves?!
Hannah, I’m disappointed in the clickbait title. Claiming these agencies “did not present evidence” is not merely misleading but untrue. You are spreading same sort of misinformation that drives clicks for conspiracy bloggers and Fox News.
Wow. This is a total garbage article. Jezebel really needs to rethink its political reporting- really, really not good. Let’s look at the NYTimes. Oh look. Literally the second bullet point front page main points of the article without even clicking on the article itself:
There are many reasons to not present much of the evidence. Much of it can be surmised by what level of confidence each agency gave it. NSA can only give moderate confidence because of the way NSA gathers its evidence. The FBI and CIA almost certainly have human assets at high reaches of the government and their lives…
I mean, they didn’t forget. They just don’t care or believe it because there’s no such thing as rape, only vindictive false rape allegations.
Or, maybe, Democrats are actually capable of being nuanced about things, and liked Wikileaks when it was publicly committing itself to being neutral and non-partisan. And then Assange was put under investigation for rape and his history of egotism and egomania came to light, and Wikileaks started leaking things like…
I know how much Assange hates America because he is willing to spend time talking to Sean Hannity. That takes commitment.
Wikileaks followed that up with a threat to doxx all verified accounts on Twitter.
It seems to me that many white men find the idea of privilege to be offensive to their sense of fairness. If you’re taught implicitly by society that everything goes both ways and everyone is created equal... and you just happen to dominate as a group, the suggestion that you are benefiting from conditions that you…
I call bullshit. Everyone knows that the only real ethnic slur for a white person is “racist.”
The stereotype that white people always carry ranch dressing around with them is not cool anymore. When you say ‘He’s already got his, that white boy over there’” don’t just fucking assume I’m carrying my own ranch dressing around with me you hurtful monster. I need it for my tenders and when you assume that I already…
But it kind of is our job when they have no frame of reference in which to relate. The fact that they’re asking at all shows some self-awareness of that, and the fact that they’ve approached a POC shows they don’t know where to start, so they go to the source. Right or wrong, misguided or not, at least they’re asking t…
I’m Asian, and I even wrote about my problem with Dr. Strange’s whitewashedness in The Washington Post. And I find Tilda’s responses to be nuanced and willing to listen. If this is truly the receipts, Swinton has my respect for trying to respectfully navigate this issue.
Well, here’s how these conversations feel as a person of color. A white person reaches out to you sometimes - as the only POC that they know. “Hey, can you explain this one thing to me?” Like, I’m Mexican-American, so they might say, for example, “Hey, can you tell me why people think Speedy Gonzales was a negative…
I’m having difficulty understanding Margaret Cho’s perspective here. It sounds like Tilda was up front about the issues, expressed her desire to do something about it and sought advice from someone who is in a good position to provide it. And Cho’s responses were thoughtful and measured as well. Not sure what got lost…
I really believe some people on the left prefer to be the out-of-power opposition, rather than govern. Governing takes compromise. Trump as president gives these folks eight years of marching and Facebook-liking and sign waving.
Bullshit. The differences between Clinton and Trump were clear. The dangers were known. It is our responsibility as voters to vote in the best interests of our country, not wait around for someone to tickle our fancy or speak deeply to our personal beliefs. Sometimes you just have to be a grown up and do what’s best…
You can parse it all you want, but Clinton won millennials and that’s a fact.
I realize trump is a different type of beast, but...in 2008 democrats had the oval and both houses. And we got the tea party movement out of it. And an ass-whooping in 2010. Shit ebbs. Shit flows. Tea partiers tried to apply talk radio “logic” to Washington and it just embarrassed the republicans. What’s our answer to…
