The idea of Democrats snatching defeat from the jaws of victory has become such a banal cliche. What jaws of victory? How is the system in any way shape or form leaning in favor of the Democrats? Is it in the gerrymandered districts? In the electoral college system? In the general understanding that landmass matters…

So your solution to someone that annoys you is assault? I know you’re probably kidding, but that comment bordered on sociopathic.

Do you never go to the beach or the pool?

That’s literally what it is calibrated to do. Think about it, the bottom 40% of income earners pay no tax, so if you need to cut taxes for the top 1%, and still look like you’re giving a moderate cut to the amorphous “middle class”, your only option is raising taxes on someone else. And those will be the upper middle…

I mean, “suspect”? He mowed down people with his truck in the middle of New York in front of a bunch of witnesses. The question isn’t really whether he did it, it’s what punishment he deserves. Fuck Trump, and fuck his capitalizing on this tragedy to push his xenophobic, white nationalist agenda, but his calling for…

You know, I was categorical like you in my early twenties. Then my parents separated because my father was having an affair. If my mom had not found out, maybe their marriage wouldn’t have ended. And, trying to be as neutral of an observer as their child can possibly be, I honestly think they both would have been…

If your father’s injury was caused by him accidentally spilling the coffee instead of it burning a hole through the cup, would you feel less sympathy for your father? Because if you say you would, I don’t believe you. What is it really about this clumsy, white lady that sets you off so much?

No, because you’re the one who heated up the milk to that temperature. And because we all know that if you spill hot liquid on yourself, it will burn and hurt for 10 days. The one thing you have in common with the McD plaintiff is that your risk of spilling the milk was perfectly foreseeable. People are clutzes. But…

I think the OJ comparison is a bad one. There is orange juice (aka actual juice squeezed from oranges) and orange beverage (aka sugar water colored orange and flavored with orange flavor). They are two essentially different things. You can also have OJ made from concentrate and OJ fresh squeezed from an orange, and…

Except that spilling coffee is a foreseeable risk, and manufacturers who sell products that cause serious injuries in foreseeable instances without proper safety guards and adequate warnings (labeling a coffee “hot” when it is hot enough to burn through jeans and skin is not an adequate warning) are negligent and…

Journalists in real life don’t. Journalists in movies do all the time. You can’t blame Sean Penn for getting confused.

I get what you mean, but it’s like, I’ve felt a low grade depression since he’s won, and I don’t think I can do it anymore. Ever since the election, it’s like there’s this cloud hanging over the world, and I can’t even imagine a future, that feeling, that I would feel with this cloud lifted. I know it sounds dramatic,…

I mean, Trump literally admitted this in his tweet!

So, what’s the deal with the cover photo? Are we implying that Hillary is to blame for this sexual harasser too?

You say that on the basis of what? Some shitty statements from the cops and prosecutors trying to save face? Some “evidence” that didn’t get mentioned in a documentary that tried to capture 10 years of events (and wasn’t even that convincing in the first place)? I’d wager you did not even see the documentary but have…

The just world delusion is clearly strong with you. Just because it makes you sleep better at night if you convince yourself that an innocent person was not convicted by an unjust justice system, doesn’t make that so. You have no greater information than anyone else who saw this show (and read the post-show…

What’s funny is that you appropriated the language of feminism to make your despicable and disgusting anti feminist points. Or it would be funny, if it wasn’t so sad.

I’m a gal who doesn’t have any kids (yet). How is that relevant?

Maybe it’s harsh, but most people, including working mothers, have to clean, cook and do other chores around the house when they are not working. Being some kind of Type A about cleaning isn’t having a job like any other, it’s a symptom of OCD. And by saying this I don’t mean to say that people who have jobs as…

Yes, of course equality means she gets to make her own decisions, but the existence of freedom of choice does not automatically make any choice free from criticism. For example, equality means women get to vote for President, but I can still be critical of the women that voted for Trump.
