Yeah, I went down a rabbit hole on this story and I waver with some sympathy for them knowing that even at the cost of shame and embarrassment, in the end they did what was probably best for the child. But then I don’t know if they did it more for themselves or the child. And she is freaking delusional to say they…

Here’s why she doesn’t deserve any doubt from you or anyone else:
Sorry for the incoming rant.
Hey, there. This is an excellent piece on a critical topic: exactly the kind of blog for which we visit Jezebel. And yet, in two hours, there are eight replies. A few years ago, there would have been hundreds. And I think that this is because the ‘grays’ are leaving in droves: there doesn’t seem to be any mechanism…
Yeah, this is where I remind people that, as someone on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum and depression, we need to stop putting racism in the “mentally-ill” bag. Nobody’s objecting to mental illness here. They’re objecting to Ms. Cooper’s racism. And while there can be overlap between racist beliefs…
Apparently you WANT Toad Dick to get a second term. That’s the only explanation I can think of for all these Biden hit pieces. This Bernie sore loserism is just sad now. What is the plan at this point? If you double down on the Biden bashing, the DNC will magically change their minds and hand Bernie the nom at the…
I read the NYT article. We’ve ALLLLLL known people for whom every event is chaotic, every landlord was the worse, every boss hated them, their wallet has been stolen countless times, their check bounced though no fault of their own, their car has broken down several times and they’ve missed more work because of dead…
A close relative of mine worked at Antioch and encountered Tara Reade in the BA Completion program. This program helps students who need to complete a BA to move on to graduate programs, for job advancement, or to reach a personal goal. My relative heard genuinely moving stories about sacrifices made to get the…
The number of things that were left out of this is interesting. She didn’t just miss constituent meetings, for instance: she claimed she had attended them when she had not. She didn’t just ask for her rent to be reduced, she made her ex-husband out to be a much more immediate threat than he was to score a rent…
Sure seems like this article implies that people in poverty lie, cheat, steal and manipulate by default.
Thanks Jeff. That’s nuts. Yeah that story was bad bad. I noticed a lot of comments were either deleted or kept in the grey. What do you think Jezebel has such a Biden hate hardon? They know their readers are calling them out on it, and yet, they persist. Click bait, lazy writing, Bernie hurt, weird Trump love, a…
The Obama campaign took months to vet Biden.
Actually they, err, redid that post. If I’m not mistaken (as myself and other posters pointed out) the Tweet was from a right-winger with his name being the name of the account. It’s no longer there, and as the editorial note says, the post was “updated” the next day with a new Tweet.
In all honesty, why the hell is Jezebel still pushing this? The best journalists in the world have looked into this case and failed to find any support for her claims. The Obama campaign took months to vet Biden. They didn’t find anything. It didn’t happen as she remembers it. You don’t even have to think she’s lying…
Tracy - you will look back at this article one day and be embarrassed by your own classism. Stop talking about people in poverty as if they are equivalent to a 10 year old.
I don’t know why Jezebel is so dedicated to propping this woman up when she has huge credibility problems that have nothing to do with her being poor. False sexual assault allegations are rare but bolstering someone that many diehard MeToo feminists have completely written off for completely legitimate reasons doesn't…
/hits Control + F and types “Putin”
I swear this dead horse will come back to life if I just beat it a couple more times.
