As a Palestinian-American who’s father’s family was forced to flee the country in 1948, I am not sure how they anticipated she would react? Full throated endorsement of the IDF planning an invasion of Gaza?

He has the kids because his family members help while on tour. Family members that the children are familiar, and feel comfortable, with. Not because she’s an absent parent.

I understand your reaction, but chess is a big deal in a lot of countries. Players are celebrities. Prize purses are collectively in the millions. It’s not a huge deal in the US, but these decisions can have a massive ripple effect around the world.

Not sure what the law is in Mississippi, but I’d wager that if she was 12 or 13 when she was impregnated, it was *categorically* rape.

The only homewrecker is the person cheating and leaving their partner. Sure, people shouldn’t get involved with married people but it’s the married person who’s most at fault. And I can’t fucking stand Ariana Grande but we really need to stop with the misogynistic ‘homewrecker’ narrative. 

If they started dating in high school, my guess is he was no longer in love with his wife and was just looking for someone else to come along and give him a good enough reason to call it quits...

She had a song called “Break Up With Your Girlfriend (I’m Bored)“, which given what we know now (and what she knew when she started dealing with him), sounds exactly like what she told him to do.

So he tried to strangle his wife in public in front of literally thousands of cops and there are no eyewitnesses? The cops came to check on them, then just left? He called his campaign manager about strangling his wife? And this all happened at a police convention? This single story ticks almost every box on the list…

Probably because this is going to have devastating consequences for the next black woman who actually goes missing. 

Honest question: Has any women on this website bought WNBA tickets, purchased a WNBA jersey or watched a WNBA game at their home? If not what could they do to make it more interesting for you?

I don’t mean to pile on here, but okay, I’m joining the pile. This woman has been married to a sociopath for 25+ years. Who knows what kind of abuse, gaslighting, and stress she’s had to put up with over this period? But hey, let’s judge her on some off-hand remark she may not even have made upon having the truth…

Wish I could say this is beneath Jezebel, but this is just another entry in the steady decline. Y’all should have let AI write this one.

Also WTF is up with the snarky "I guess 'Stand By Your Man' has limits?" Maybe if Wynette herself were divorcing I could see it being irresistible to reference her song, even if doing so made an unfortunate implication of criticism for leaving that wasn't warranted. But why are we shitting on this private individual…

why does this author seem more upset about the wife not knowing than you know, the man murdering all those people....? good grief, y’all. unless we find out otherwise, she’s a victim too.

This feels kind of needlessly shitty and mean. How do you want a person to react to the news that their spouse is a serial killer? 

1. That’s not a selfie. I know English is an evolving language but that’s not a fucking selfie, otherwise any goddamn photo with a face on it is a selfie.

Not sure race has much to do with people believing it’s a hoax.

You can support trans people without wanting to compete against them in a professional sport. This is a very hard concept to grasp for people who only see in extremes.

Abortion rights are not “extreme left.” Most civilized countries have them in spite of being fairly conservative. But to the intellectually lazy, it’s a lot easier to throw your arms up and say “both sides.”

I’m super pro-access, but I’m having a hard time reconciling 29 weeks. The article does not state whether access to earlier care was unavailable. At the time her state had a 20 week ban.
