After accusing taxpayers of wasting money on women, Chuck Grassley is wasting taxpayer money on women.

This is a neutral comment. Feel free to stop here and take a breather before continuing the read the rest of the comments section.

I had 2 abortions in 10 years, thanks to planned parenthood. And for the first time ever I won’t follow that up with my reasons as to why I had them. I needed them, desperately and I was shown respect, phenomenal emotional and physical support from the staff. I was able to leave with my dignity and my life, sadly that…

Jezebel commenters are going to fuck this up so majorly.

K this is just very wrong and uninformed on multiple levels.

This is largely due to the repeal of racist immigration laws in 1965- before then immigration from Asian countries was practically impossible. So everyone who has come since that restriction was lifted (which is a ton of people) is 1st-gen. Arguably, had immigration from Asia not been so restricted, we would see a…

Asian people have been resisting racist bullshit ever since we showed up in the U.S. Pretty much all foundational immigration caselaw is about Asian folks, due to the fact that we were the first group to be banned from the U.S., and it’s fascinating to read about how folks fought back (also sometimes depressing, as in…

Um, this was the 90's. Tell that to Ellen in the 90's. She was raked over the coals and almost completely destroyed.

Why is that, MISTER? EDucate yourself on why it works.

Maybe I’m in the minority but he’s not doing it for me now that he’s all jacked up, he just looks sorta standard issue. Then again I dig slender dudes. Plus, I miss his hair.

I checked into 538 every day, like I was checking on scores or stocks. At first, it was to see how utterly destroyed the Republicans were going to be. Then, the lines started creeping together, from an absolute rout to a healthy victory to a strong possibility of a victory to way closer than it should be, in terms of…

So what you are saying is that no woman is allowed to speak publicly on any case past the statute of limitations. Bill Cosby and Roy Moore thank you for your service.

Or absent that, some kind of stiff penalty in place, such as paying all legal and court fees, plus a tax or surcharge for wasting the time of the court, if the suit is deemed frivolous or vengeful in nature. The very presence of this kind of penalty might be enough to dissuade those from taking action, if they fear…

I think they also spent a lot of time in the run up to the election trying to explain the fact that Clinton having a 70% chance of winning doesn’t mean 100%.

The chances of flipping a coin twice and getting heads both times were lower than the chances that Hillary would lose—and flipping a coin twice and getting heads both times is not some rare event. You definitely wouldn’t bet your life that someone wouldn’t get two heads in a row.

“FiveThirtyEight, well those NERDY BLOG NERDS blew the fucking election now, didn’t they?”

SHUT. UP.

lol do people do this? yo if you’re a non-black person who is comfortable enough with rap cadences to rap along with them, you should be comfortable enough to NEVER rap the n-word, or any similar-sounding substitutes. don’t do it, don’t substitute it. leave a pause where it’s at. it’s fine and easy.

When I was 14, my favorite song had the phrase “what the hell” in it. I was a weird teen and inexplicably didn’t like saying swear words even as innocuous as “hell” (at least not until later in high school), but I would sing that song to myself a lot, and whenever I came to that line I’d sing, “what the heck.” I just…
