Their parents committed several instances of actual fraud to get them accepted. That’s why there’s a scandal. Like, we’re talking about ringers taking their SATs for them, heads being photoshopped onto other people’s bodies in order to make it look like they participated in various school sports, etc. It was genuinely…

What are you talking about? Their wealth insulates them from having to even remotely give a shit what anyone else thinks about them, ever. They are set for life.

But the entire reason why it’s so insulting is because Hezonja is so bad. So I mean, there’s the guy on one side enjoying his 15th All-Star season, and then there’s the guy who “stuffed” the guy enjoying his 15th All-Star season. I’m not particularly embarrassed if I’m LeBron. I’m embarrassed if I’m Hezonja, and…

It would help if he had policies.

There has to be some campaign lackey wiping down these counters and making sure there’s absolutely no liquid-based reason for Beto to slip and fall, right? I want photos of “the counter guy,” whose sole job it is to do this.

As long as court-packing doesn’t take valuable attention away from pursuing the types of initiatives that court-packing is designed, in theory, to protect, I’m not against it. But I just can’t fathom how it doesn’t turn into an arms race, where each successive opposition White House attempts to erase perceived…

No, I don’t think either of them deserve what they’re getting/got on the basis that it’s being dished out to them. But, you know, live by the sword (purposely misreading tweets in order to play-act outrage, in this case), die by the sword. Chelsea brought this on herself by starting the avalanche against Omar. I don’t…

If they can disrupt whatever brand-building exercise Chelsea is undertaking in hopes of holding elected office one day, they will have done us a great service.

Not a single person who claimed to be offended by Omar’s tweets was doing so in good faith. Fuck that noise. She said nothing anti-Semitic and nothing offensive.

Wouldn’t it be great if there were a show featuring a fat star that wasn’t fundamentally about said star’s character “navigating the world while fat”? What if it were just portrayed as ordinary?

I don’t think it’s a done deal yet, but yeah, if his being an evil piece of shit isn’t enough to galvanize people together, then... yeah, fuck it.

I’ve always been totally skeezed out by the way Gillibrand has tried to get out ahead and brand herself as the wokest one in US politics. She was really pushing to be the #MeToo candidate, which has kind of backfired on her. And now she’s trying to be “brave,” which is a term that gets tossed around a lot in social…

The running theory on why Biden is waiting is so he can announce after the current fiscal period and get a few months of breathing room before having to announce fundraising figures.

No, they weren’t.

Ilhan Omar made some tweets, and was blamed by many for feeding into rising anti-Semitic violence with her words. And Chelsea Clinton was the one who opened the flood gates on that shit. I don’t have a speck of sympathy for Clinton in this whole matter. If she doesn’t want other people to purposely misread her tweets…

What’s now happening to Chelsea Clinton is virtually indistinguishable from the shitstorm she caused from Ilhan Omar (well, except for the fact that it’s not culminating in direct threats on Clinton’s life). She’s being pushed to apologize for tweets read, on purpose, in literally the least charitable way possible, so…

Bernie Sanders supporters acting like assholes? Check. Bernie Sanders supporters being completely irrational about the Clintons? Check. Bernie Sanders supporters pulling the focus to themselves and making discussion about the actual issue nearly impossible? Check.

“Your interpretation of our tweet is completely wrong! You killed people with it! Our interpretation of your tweet is completely right! Apologize to us! On video and on the internets!”

I’m just trying to do you a favor. Explaining the reality to you. We need to do a better job keeping you Berniebros in line when the inevitable happens. Can’t have you all going back to Ron Paul, for whom 90% of you used to support.

No one cares how long you think the odds are. Again, we’re all going to get to vote. Gaming the discourse isn’t going to move the needle.
