I was thoroughly opposed to having Biden as the candidate, but here we are. Honestly, I think voters know we’re electing a placeholder who won’t be capable of completing a four year term (which makes his VP choice more significant than ever).

Didn’t the article say there was still gonna be a love interest?

Nope, it was the slimy secretary to the emperor who grabbed and threw her.

Goshdarnit, Shang didn’t exploit his power over Mulan to force her into a relationship (upon finally discovering that she was a woman, of course) — he left her to die in the snow, ‘cause he was a military commander and she’d broken the law. (And given that he was supposed to execute her for that sort of betrayal,…

This is dumb. At no point in his time as commander is Li Shang interested in Mulan; if anything, it’s the opposite (though she would never approach him).

Just to add context here, American and British reviews of J’accuse are generally like, “Ok, yeah, this is fine. Not great, maybe even very good, solidly and well made—fine.” It’s in the 70s on Rotten Tomatoes.

And yet she’s still done more than McGowan who so far has done little for anyone but herself and labelled other activists as “douchebags” and “sellouts”, who’ve raised millions to support victims, because she didn’t get invited to their lunches and didn’t get press for herself in certain magazines.

Bill Cosby can shut his rapist mouth.

He didn’t run on a progressive platform. He ran on the equivalent to national “Romney Care” which wasn’t A to begin with, it was a public option. He delivered the ACA. He ran on “clean coal”, which is a laughable concept itself, and delivered improved environmental protections. He ran on bringing back troops from…

Perhaps I’ve been too scarred by the false hope of the Obama years, when so much optimism and excitement and energy quickly curdled and went sour after candidate Obama became President Obama, and he abandoned the grassroots campaign that had powered his victory.

I feel like a lot of it has to do with just how convoluted and messy the whole thing was. It was the first big celebrity rape incident that I paid close attention to and it was a fucking madhouse. And yesterday I saw so many people running their mouth about it who clearly had no actual idea what really happened…

Yes! If someone is empathetic enough to understand that it would be hard for Vanessa Bryant or her kids to have Kobe’s rape trial rehashed right now ... surely they’re also empathetic enough to understand that it would be hard for any sexual assault victims (but especially Kobe’s!) to read these fawning posts that…

There are people, many of whom I respect (e.g., Marc Lamont Hill and Jemele Hill) paying glowing tributes to Bryant, and they are doing it in an uncritical way. And I suspect it is based on the impact Kobe had on them personally. It is a feeling I sympathize with. I also suspect part of it has to be the suddenness of…

Thank you. For a reporter to be punished by a purported news organization for accurately pointing out that he was very credibly accused of rape, is fucking insane.

The portion of the law that Buchanan is charged under is much different, Pettit ruled. It prohibits lewd behavior by both women and men in front of children, and also requires prosecutors to show that the defendant exposed themselves and knew their actions would either cause ‘affront or alarm’ to the children or ‘with…

Obama also felt completely comfortable hanging the poor out to dry economically in the name of cutting deals with Republicans

cannot agree that non issue was insidious or needs to be further addressed. If THAT is among your worst criticism of Warren then it might be far easier for you to admit you would never accept her as nominee.

... I think you missed the point of this article. 

It’s not surprising Michael Moore called Liz a “backstabber” like she’s the mean girl in high school.

Can they not throw that word around lightly? “Torture”. Let’s save that for actual torture; god knows the world has already too much actual “torture”. Like “rape” when people use that word for things that aren’t rape (like he’s “raping the environment”). These words should not be taken lightly.
