If he had a pattern of this, maybe. Given the circumstances, I’d say it’s a reasonable and compassionate response. But like I said, I seem to be the odd woman out when it comes to my level of bloodthirst, at least judging from the comments to this post.

Maybe. But I imagine he and his supervisors and his doctors know more than we do what the best course of action is and the extent to which his job is affected?

Even if they have stage 4 lung cancer and are being asked about their personal life when it’s unwarranted (the girlfriend isn’t covering the WH anymore)? 

The dude has stage 4 cancer and his girlfriend isn’t assigned to the White House so while his reaction was obnoxious, I’d say cut him some slack and also, why was he even being asked about his personal life when there’s no hypothetical ethical concern anymore since? 

Will Jezebel stop linking to the Daily Mail in general? They show up all the time in Dirt Bag. 

Congress could never thank Officer Eugene Goodman enough. The man literally put his black body between Congress and a mob shouting the n-word, waving the confederate flag, and putting up nooses at the capitol.

Fuck it, let him make some coin because being an activist doesn’t pay jack shit.

Even if he’s permanently associated with Parkland, I don’t think it would have been impossible for Hogg to have quietly pursued a venture of his liking. Emma Gonzalez has more followers than him, and we barely know what the heck she’s doing. It’s possible! He decided not to do that though, and well, here’s the fallout.

These are the same motherfuckers who took up for Trump's endless attacks on damn near everybody. Fuck them all. I hate it here. I hope she still talks shit.

Strange that the party crying about cancel culture thinks she shouldn’t have a job because she exercised her first amendment rights.

To the surprise of Ernst and probably everyone else in America, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, aka Sir Mittens, King of Memes, agreed that now was the wrong time to pass the minimum wage hike.

THANK YOU for the clarification! It does need to be raised to $15 over several years and then indexed to inflation so that it’s not a constant fight.

You mean the fight for $45 right?. I gotta make sure the goalpost stays on the wheels right.

I feel that way based on personal experience. I have a couple of friends who are major Bernie supporters. People who were quite reasonable prior to 2016 and we could discuss politics and policies with rational arguments. After 2016 though they became just obsessed with the man. According to them, no Democrat could do…

Just like trump brought out the worst of the right, it feels like Bernie brought out the worst of the left. I wonder how differently progressives would behave had he never run for president at all.

When Sanders’s campaign was petering out, she was criticized for not doing enough to save it.

This has been my chief criticism of the Chapo fans; though I, generally, agree with their politics, the distillation of all oppression to class oppression erases so many would-be allies, and I’m honestly not convinced it moves the needle at all, at least not in the US. There are mountains and mountains of research…

We tried to tell y’all that the leftist/progressive/socialist focus on classism centers white men. Lefty white men need classism as it’s the one issue where they can center themselves. They need it so they can dismiss misogyny, racism, transphobia etc. They use classism to deny the existence of other oppressive…

What I find funny is that the supremely online left love to (rightfully) make fun of Democratic establishment as a whole for routinely falling for the GOP establishment “bipartisanship” call a la the Lucy and Charlie Brown football meme (though it does surprisingly seem like they might have finally learned something).…

But... the folks on my FB feed who say they stopped listening to MSM because of inherent bias and that Dore is one of the only truth-tellers left (no pun intended), and that Biden is terrible (and/or worse than Trump)... they can’t all be wrong, can they?
