A questions that I have for the Whites in this audience (this is not acceptance of Smith slapping Chris Rock, these are honest questions about the public's reaction to assault at large):

It wasn’t benign.

Seriously. The man made a very public political move contrary to the hateful direction the majority of his party’s supporters and legislators want to move in, and here comes Jezebel bitching that he’s doing the right thing for something less than the most noble of reasons possible.

While we applaud Cox for his small mercy, it’s also clear that empathy for trans kids and their parents is not the governor’s primary motivation.

Maybe it’s just me being grumpy lately, but can we at least acknowledge that the man did a good thing without picking apart the motives? Motives can matter, but right now? Where so many people’s rights are in jeopardy from the republican party and every little bit fucking counts regardless of where it comes from or…

I think that’s being unnecessarily mean to the squirrel.

What did the squirrel ever do to deserve that punishment?! 

Does Ted Cruz know how much people hate him, including people in his own party, or is he that oblivious?

Let me just set the record straight; Ted Cruz is a dipshit wearing clown makeup

NATO is a military alliance. Ukraine is a member of the UN. What is your point, and what does any of it have to do with LGBTQ rights?

Sounds like it was a totally different situation than Britney and like Bynes’ mom respected her daughter’s autonomy. I don’t think this should be framed the same way as Britney’s because it sounds like the conservator ship was good for Bynes and she even recognizes it, at least per her lawyer. And it’s refreshing to…

Then give them a gun, send them straight to the front. I don’t think that’s what Kiev is doing though.

I’m guessing if I had the social graces and skills to collect money from strangers because my car got smashed during a well known accident, it might be worth a shot.

Also, what do you think is going to happen when Russia takes Ukraine? Do you think the sanctions are going to stop? This isn’t like Crimea, which happened before social media and to which Obama didn't respond. There are real, lasting repercussions that Putin isn't going to take lying down. He's already said that there…

“Because that would inevitably result in a shooting war between two nuclear powers, at which point there is an almost certain guarantee that nukes will be used.” - No, Biden doesn’t want to go to war after he left Afghanistan. Enrollment in the military has dropped significantly, and he knows the majority of the…

If you get your news from sites other than gizmodo you would know- we HAVE sent troops to Ukraine’s border nations, 7,000 so far, because in less than a month we WILL be at war. JFC, you ignorant, cowardly bastards know absolutely nothing. 

What part of the statement from the Department of Defense did you miss? Because that isn't going to happen.

They do have guns which also kill people, unless all those killed by cops are really crises actors.

Wow, didn’t realize that bullets weren’t lethal! Ya learn something new every day! On the topic of nukes- Eastern European nations think Putin isn’t going to stop at Ukraine, and if we’re going to be cowed by the threat of nuclear war why *would* he stop? This is as much about NATO as it is reuniting the Soviet…

Honest question: What would you have done if the police who murdered George Floyd started going after the girl filming the murder? “Better to not protest because letting the police murder a few people here, raping a few women there, and beating up 73 year old dementia patients is better than directly confronting…
