My problem with this program isn’t so much that it gives a platform to racists, but that it creates a straw man where people begin to believe that the KKK or the National Alliance are the most dangerous organizations in the US.

Most likely it will be a while before any administration touches Social Security in a way that affects people currently getting benefits. Let’s not forget, many, many Trump voters are in your boat, and the Republicans don’t want to fuck things up so bad that Joe Six Pack turns Democrat for the next 50 years.

No, I think Indiana’s a lot worse.

Not necessarily. I don’t think Ivanka’s coming out against Trump would have made one iota of a difference. In fact, it might have helped him.

Also, we have no idea what kinds of conversations Ivanka and Jared have had in private about Donald over the past year.

No, says person who believes screaming at any woman when she’s with her three young children is way the fuck over the line.

Damn. I wonder if the body felt anything. But I suppose that without the brain to perceive the pain, it wouldn’t really be pain.

So, which felt more pain, the head or body? Too bad the executed didn’t have mouths on their stomachs.

The guillotine would probably be the least painful form of execution. However, the “optics” wouldn’t be so great.

I believe advocates would be be far more effective pushing for gradual prison reform before anything else. If PREA is any indication, it looks as if prison reform is something you could probably get bipartisan support for.

No, there’s a very clear trail showing that Mateen had been radicalized. The idea that he carried out this killing due to homosexuality has pretty much been debunked.

I believe in taking mass shooters at their word, as long as there’s enough evidence to do so.

I’ve never really understood why opponents of the death penalty don’t first attempt to resolve the issue of prison conditions.

It goes back to the 90's, with Waco and Ruby Ridge, then gained traction with 911, the ascendency of Alex Jones as a viable news source, and the ascendency of Ron Paul as a political figure.

Those who cut down old growth trees in city parks to make Christmas trees are the same people who prefer miles of ugly, cheaply built, treeless subdivisions stretching to the horizon over shaded Victorian lined streets.

Thank you! On a random weekly (or daily) basis, some odd 4o people in Yemen, 60 people in Baghdad, and thirty people in Syria might be killed by suicide and barrel bombs. I read about these atrocities every day on a number of different sites. Jezebel should report these acts of terror.

Harassment is okay. Just don’t serve a Jew a non kosher drink in a Montana bar....

I’m certainly no fan of the Republican Party, although in the case of Flint water, there’s plenty of bipartisan blame to go around. The corruption in the city of Flint is legendary.

There’s no problem with leaving your boyfriend or girlfriend or wife or husband for whatever reason. That’s an adult decision that’s up to you to make.

No it doesn’t. Thus the irony of a blog like Jezebel complaining about the perils of dumbed down politics while in the same breath condoning the perils of a dumbed down culture.
