The irony that the site this person is praising literally wiped the comment section because they put out a series of hot takes, like claiming “Obama doesn’t get it” when he probably has more relevant life experience than any of the writers here, and commenters took onus with that.

Wow, this post could literally not be more anti-semitic unless you talked about how their hook noses look so weird

A few people brought it up The Root the other day: the way the black community draws analogies between Jewish people and wealth is problematic. Like the n-word, it has evolved to become this complimentary/aspirational thing amongst black people, but has roots in bigotry and violence that we continue to ignore or…

It is a custard.

Thank you for writing this!

Yep, we’re definitely fucked, because the primaries haven’t even started yet and liberal bloggers are already trying to destroy their own.

Yeah, 8 years is a lot for this, but it seems like the system still tried to keep her from making the mistake in the first place. They even tried to be lenient by giving her a plea deal. It’s on her that she rejected it.

Google has a substantial presence here already, I don’t know how many people but I know they lease and own a lot of real estate. There is no noticeable tech bro-ishness, and I don’t think 25,000 Amazonians over 10 years is going to change anything.

Well, this didn’t take long.

Yes, she is literally the same as the guy who poisoned Flint, because of a *checks notes* person on her transition team.

Why is everyone being so negative, we now have a comfortable majority in the House and can do whatever we want to reign in 45. We won a lot of races we expected to lose, cheer up.

New York could use a second team

“but you, or anyone else, don’t get to be the arbitrator of what constitutes the validity of whether a citizen chooses to vote or not”

I imagine the Kinja board room is no longer the halcyon days of Gawker past in which intellectual consistency existed throughout (for the most part).

Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.

“But those kind of tasks can be hard for me to do if I’m not enthusiastic about it.”
