The most hilarious (and sad) thing about this is people are SO hateful and deranged about trump that they are turning off the alerts that save the lives of abducted children and inform you of what to do in a disaster. to avoid a government beep associated with him. Fucking. Crazy. Even if most of them turn it back on,…

Counterpoint: Fuck these people.

Dylan Roof- Before him when was the last the last shooing of multiple Black folks in a church by whites, how many since him?

Maybe, we should stop teaching young POC to always play the victim and blame white people when something goes wrong.

Honestly, the “only people of unimpeachable moral character are allowed to have any function in public spheres” thing reminds me a lot of how I used to think when I was, oh, twenty or so.

It’s really easy to look at the world as containing only “right” and “wrong” when you’ve never had to weigh ethically difficult…

Agreed completely.

Yep, I get the whole punching up, punching down thing, but, and there always is one isn’t there, a line does have to be drawn. I mean, heck, white people are soon going to be a minority in the US anyway so how about we stamp down on racism now instead of waiting a couple of years.
Let’s be fair here, you can call it…

“Even if he did have a gun, it wasn’t out,” YES IT WAS. IT WAS IN HIS HAND.

If he acted as a decent citizen and not parked in a handicap space and thus not had a “reason” for him to assault the gunman, he’d be alive. It roughly reminds me of that black woman who was stopped for a traffic violation in Dallas, taken into custody, and ended up dying in jail—WTF?

Guess a movie doesn’t begin at conception either.

This seems like a lot of wasted ink trying to confirm that Kavanaugh is, in fact, a lawyer that graduated law school, is currently a judge, and otherwise generally meets the minimum requirements for Supreme Court Justice. Thanks for the resume update, gentlemen.

You say that as if giving Garland a hearing would have mattered outside of courtesy. The issue at the time was that there weren’t the votes to support Garland’s confirmation even if the hearing had happened. Garland never had a shot unfortunately, acting as though he isn’t on the SCOTUS currently due to bastardy…

Ted Nugent refused because they wouldn’t let him tear the sleeves off his judicial robes.

There is a conflation of ideas happening here.

Oh yeah, Democrats win elections and we’re expected to reach across the aisle in a spirit of camaraderie and understanding to our vanquished opponents. When the Republicans win, well, elections have consequences how dare we try to obstruct the will of the people?

uummm...it amazes me how uninformed publicly educated kids are these days. There’s a huge difference between this and the Garland situation. Republicans were and are still the M-A-J-O-R-I-T-Y in the Senate. That is the body responsible for giving their blessing on a nominee. Now try to follow this.....with…

The correct answer is to land on the person who just jumped before you.

People act as if it is their duty to get offended by everything.

I know I’m probably going to get all sorts of “ermagerds you’re a terrible person” replies but it’s honestly a shame that the idiot got up and walked away from this. Just a second earlier and we’d have had a pretty damn good “this is what happens to dumbasses” teachable moment. Instead some asshole wrecked a person’s…

Here’s the simple fact: The Washington Post did journalism the right way, and Jezebel did not.
