No, it isn’t.

Well shit. I was one of those who argued Sen. Feinstein was on the mend after a bout of shingles and it was sexist to demand she resign. I’ll eat some crow and admit she may actually have had significant health issues.

I understand your fears because I once shared them. Back in January I told my conservative friends they were fools to believe McCarthy wasn’t a weakling who would be a puppet to the more assertive Trumpists in his caucus such as Gaetz and Boebert and Greene.

Speaker McCarthy keeps exceeding my expectations. I thought he’d be a wishy-washy figurehead, not a real leader; instead he’s turned out to be a fearless and skillful opponent of Trumpism. Again and again he has stared Trumpist bullies like Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene straight in the eye and told them to go…

Darn, the Roots comments are invisible now. I had to refresh the page 20 times to get them back and now I can’t get them no matter what. If you have the patience to refresh the page a whole lot maybe you can see the Root comments. Or maybe not. Maybe I just got lucky.

Maybe your browser is glitching. Try Firefox. The Root comments display fine in Firefox. I’m looking at them right now.

There’s nothing wrong with the Root comment sections. Maybe they could use some more regular commenters.

Let’s be real. There are very few Republicans who genuinely want to pass extremist anti-abortion legislation, especially not with an election coming. Hence they’ve designated a few moderate Republicans to play the villain and block passage.  The Democratic Party plays this game too. Democrats routinely pretend to…

A Jet going down on 9/11 is a little too on the nose, universe.

Nice comment, but it belongs at Deadspin. Somebody should post it there.

Abortion crushes every time the public gets to vote on it. The reason is these polling numbers showing evangelicals being strongly against abortion are a bunch of baloney. Of course evangelicals will answer an abortion rights poll in the negative, but the truth is they’d rather not have their daughters get knocked up o…

Daniil and Aryna deserved to have their national flags displayed by their names on the American television broadcast. The flaglessness was offensive and contrary to the spirit of good sportsmanship. Chinese players were not subjected to this humiliation. The Chinese flag was proudly displayed, as was proper.

Deja vu. Just six weeks ago Crystal Jewell was telling us about her Adderall habit and having to go cold turkey after she lost her job in high finance. It’s too bad we can’t hear Crystal’s take on Sam Bankman-Fried’s Adderall withdrawal. Crystal certainly didn’t think it was funny when it happened to her.

No definitive links were established, but Hamilton Nolan was believed by many regular Splinter posters to be TomatoFace. I always thought that was a ridiculous conspiracy theory, but I’m not so sure anymore in light of Laura Bassett’s moonlighting as Crystal Jewell. Yes, I believe Hamilton could have been TomatoFace.

Is the neckbeard Hamilton Nolan? I remember there were accounts that made lots of folks wonder if they were Hamilton’s.

I think we can all agree that Crystal was Laura Bassett. Laura resigned on Monday and decided to take Crystal with her. It’s a shame. Who knew Laura had such a flair for creative trolling?

Great news! It looks like Crystal Jewell was finally banned. All her old threads have been removed. It’s like they never happened. Unaborted daughter Julia has been aborted. Our long national nightmare is over.

Sorry, but Crystal was banned today. All her old threads have been taken down. Pity. Some of them were quite entertaining. I too was looking forward to finding out more about Julia’s budding tennis career, but now Julia’s tennis career will exist only in our imaginations.

The national abortion debate is already over. Abortion consistently crushes every time it’s put to a popular vote, even in red states. Smart Republican presidential candidates can see which way the wind is blowing. They’re ready to declare abortion a states right issue and move on to other topics, and so am I.…

You’ve forgotten your history. Everyone knew RBG was gambling with Roe by refusing to retire during Obama’s presidency. At the time we liberals cursed RBG because we thought the stakes were too high to gamble, but in retrospect, they really weren’t. And RBG had a damn good reason for rolling the dice: she wanted the…
