At this point, Trump is daring Republican senators to come for him. He knows that they know that he’ll take half the party with him if they betray him. Few will be able to win in a primary, and none would be able to win a general election if he told his devotees to stay home. Turning on Trump will crack the

What kind of place must you be in your life to not make this kind of connection? Is there some sort of clinical term for this total lack of ability to reflect upon one’s self? Truly amazing.

Exactly.

The headline could be better. My first thought after reading it was that this transgender person was made fun of in Chappelle’s special and later killed themselves- not that her and Chappelle were friends...

Yeah, pretty much every budding pansexual who’s exceptionally proud of it (enough to make it a part of their social introductions) tends to soapbox about how bisexuality is too exclusive and binary. It’s an understandable but incorrect misunderstanding.

I kinda thought that was part of the joke tbh

Jean’s brother is a saint. However, I’m not sure why the judge is hugging this murderer? Wtf? Also, a 10 year sentence is something but it really should have been 28 years. After reading those racist and violent texts she sent, I have no doubt that this woman was looking for a black person to kill. She joked about it

Jonathan is non-binary but he has stated a preference for the he series pronouns.

It makes me so sad that there were probably so many bubbly JVNs in the 80s and early 90s who got the same news at 25 and didn't live to see 30. Thank goodness (science) for HIV/AIDS research. 

Not ever going to get over Sarsour’s tweet about Ayaan Hirsi Ali - you don’t tell a woman who’s been subjected to FGM that she deserves to have her vagina taken away. Sarsour is trash.

“less institutional power”

None. After he walked out on me and the kids I made a big point of continuing to go absolutely everywhere that I liked because fuck him, I own all these places and HE can go find somewhere new if it bothers him. 

The entire state of Arizona.

Are you a Russian bot? Because this almost seems to make sense unless you really think about it for a second, and that seems really bot-like to me.

This is Jezebel. Sometimes it’s totally proper to mock someone’s personal appearance, lifestyle choices, relationships, and mental or physical health. Other times, people react like you just smashed a puppy with a brick on YouTube. The fun part is that you never know which one it will be until you open the thread!

He bought a house for his mom and moved into the “basement” because he has mental health problems and they figured that’s the safest arrangement for him. You can make fun of him for the stupid shit he said at the college show he just did but snarking on him for this seems extremely in poor taste to me.

Wow, I’ve never seen such a display of bad takes and bad opinions.

But is it fair to criticize him for not having women in other important roles in this movie if his other movies contain strong, well-written female characters?  Hell, Shoshanna is the real mastermind and hero in Inglorious Basterds.  If anything, you watch that movie afraid that the Basterds’ scheme would foil her

The argument that Tarantino doesn’t write important roles for women only holds water if you haven’t seen any of his movies.

Agreed! What we all need is more super hero movies!!  Maybe they could do one where there is a big battle at the end or something?!?

In Inglorious Basterds, Shoshanna is a strong and independent leading lady who kills her alpha male suitor all while dressing modestly... is this not good enough for you?
