From the Buzzfeed article:

Have you heard the phrase “leader of the free world”? The opinion of the U.S. president, whoever he is, matters a great deal in cases like these.

They all feel personally attacked by the fact of how bad they all fucking suck. If they could find one so-called ‘conservative’ who wasn’t a raging, sexist, racist douchenozzle, dumbfuck maybe they could feel better about themselves, but they’ve all followed Donnie TwoScoops into the Hell of Public Mediocrity and now…

There’s no confusion there. 1/1 Ratios are what they are.

Because, as Colbert said, “Facts have a well known liberal bias”. It is easy to feel like the world is against your opinions, when reality actually is counter to your opinions. It is much easier to go with your gut and believe what you want to believe than to question your worldview and admit you have been misled.

Anyone else accidentally confuse the terms conservative with racist bigot?

White male “conservative” also racist, misogynistic? Well blow me down with a feather, and someone get me my laudanum, I’m about to faint!

Good job, you got me to sign in just so I can call you a dumb-ass. I applaud you, lord of the dumb-asses.

This article is literally about how a shitty ‘journalist’ leaves the basics source-vetting and your precious ‘objectivity’ to push a dubious story.

I think that’s a valid question and it’s always a tricky balancing act. Whenever I’m covering a story like this I always ask myself what I’d want to know about the contents of the letter without publishing the entire thing.

I had to watch the video so I know what I saw. But he pleaded not guilty so there are legal reasons news organizations have to use the word allegedly.

Especially considering he’d already tried to kill himself once in there. My guess is they let this happen to protect the other high profile people who have been implicated. I’m extremely pissed.

If there’s to be any justice, and I was never optimistic there ever was going to be, the government has to go after Epstein’s accomplices and cohorts, including his defense team that got him that illegal sweetheart deal. Prince Andrew, Alan Derschowitz, George Mitchell, Ghislaine Maxwell, Donald Trump, etc. All of…

One small pettiness that’s quite the balm is that Trump never gets the kind of engagement that Obama does...

Can any of the presidential candidates remind Moscow Mitch that he should suck it up, rub some dirt on it, and go back to work like a real man, because he only got an ouchie as opposed to A FUCKING ASSAULT RIFLE ROUND TO THE GODDAMN FACE

The contrast of reading his statement followed by Trump’s hurdurrr makes the latter seem even stupider.

“legislation ensuring that those who commit hate crimes and mass murders face the DEATH PENALTY”

Can any of the presidential candidates remind Moscow Mitch that he should suck it up, rub some dirt on it, and go back to work like a real man, because he only got an ouchie as opposed to A FUCKING ASSAULT RIFLE ROUND TO THE GODDAMN FACE

Every mention of Barack is like a lifeline to me. It all feels like a century ago, doesn’t it? I keep trying to remember the feeling of his election night.
