It drives me nuts that a lot of liberals are hanging onto the idea that Trump’s actions in the WH will somehow be undone if he leaves office. It’s that kind of magical thinking that could help him be reelected. If we want to stop Trump, we have to stop him at the ballot box. Period. End of story.

It was both Jill Stein and Gary Johnson voters despite the latter not sharing much of anything ideologically with the people who voted for him. This is evidenced in a lot of states by the fact that you had county after county after county where Trump barely improved Romney’s percentage of the vote or actually got a…

I run an after-school diversionary program for severely disadvantaged at-risk youth in remote desert communities. We build dirt bmx tracks and teach boys and girls to put together bikes donated from copshops and maintain them from stuff the tip. One of these tacky trinkets would give a whole school of outback kids…

I don’t think Hillarys strike wouldn’t have been as ineffective. Also don’t think Assad or the Russians would’ve gassed his people if Hillary was the president.

Fuck everyone and everything and may every single person who worked against Hillary Clinton outlive their children and then rot in hell.

THANKS JILL STEIN VOTERS!

True to form, I downloaded it, selected a level, then stared at my controller for hours waiting for some kind of response, cried, then downed a bottle of wine.

I knew these guys weren’t all that bright but I never realized how little they understand about the conflict in Syria. They seem to think everybody fighting Assad is ISIS?

Can we please stop calling them the “Alt-Right” and just call them what they really are: Nazis.

“Shortly after “alt-right” poster-boy Steve Bannon reportedly called Jared Kushner a “cuck,” signaling an escalating battle in the White House between the “Bannonites” and the “globalists,” Donald Trump bucked his isolationist promises and launched a military strike against the Syrian government”

So accepted statistics on rape and false reports are “extreme terms,” then?

This is the kind of comment I expect on gizmodo and jalopnik, not here. Don’t become like them, it’s not a good path.

False rape accusations are roughly as statistically common as false accusations for virtually every other crime, i.e. virtually nonexistent. No one, anywhere, EVER has said that they never ever happen. All people say is that they are so spectacularly unlikely that it’s like hearing hoofbeats and assuming a zebra is…

You are a very confused individual. Nobody argues that this never happens. Everything fucking happens, obviously. The point is that guys like you bring up this rare occurrence EVERY TIME a woman accuses someone of rape, as though it’s a plausible explanation EVERY TIME. (Even though this is clearly the first time…

This comment is stunning. You genuinely think there should be MORE disincentives against reporting rape? You genuinely believe that all rapes get reported, that women have no issues reporting rape, that police officers treat every allegation of sexual assault seriously and bother to investigate it, and that the real…

I frequent Jezebel pretty often and haven’t really seen that. Outrage over things that are outrageous? Sure. The assertions that women NEVER make false accusations? Nope. As pointed out by other commenters, the accuser is not exactly in for a nice cushy ride after making such an allegation.

It’s a numbers game. Here’s the one example out of a hundred where a false accusation was made sort of (she just makes a threat and most likely did not follow through with it). If the justice system starts prosecuting rape allegations with the seriousness that they deserve THEN we can worry about miscarriages of…

Eh, I’d rather not invite a cross-section of that fucking insanity to this thread.

Being a woman does not insulate one from the consequences of being a rotten, horrible asshole. Seems like the sobriquets apply here.
