Trumpists are so dumb. They think highlighting Nikki’s similarities to Hillary Clinton will decrease Nikki’s mass appeal. They’re WRONG. It’s just the opposite. Similarity to Hillary Clinton is exactly what moderate voters crave. That’s why Nikki’s popularity is surging.

Where are the custom profile pics? Everyone has generic Kinja pics now.

I agree that it’s unclear how much Nikki has moderated on abortion, but isn’t that a good thing?   The great politicians have a knack for being all things to all people. Ronald Reagan had it. So did Barack Obama.  Nikki is showing she has some of it too.

Lots of DeSantis partisans swear they’ll never vote for Nikki. Maybe some are all talk and no action, but I think some mean what they say.

Are Nikki and Hillary really that different on abortion? Hillary’s policy is abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare.” How is that different from Nikki? Just like Hillary, Nikki must perform a tricky balancing act to placate the extremists in her party, but I can’t help suspecting her real instincts on abortion…

I’m seeing a LOT of DeSantis voters on Twitter saying they’re switching to RFK Jr. They say Nikki Haley is no different from Hillary Clinton. Is that true? It would make me look more favorably on Nikki if it were.

Obvious omissions: King Crimson’s Red, Blue Oyster Cult’s Secret Treaties, Hawkwind’s Hall of the Mountain Grill, Camel’s Mirage.

We wouldn’t be having this problem if Biden had kept his promise to step aside and let Kamala Harris run the country.

Crystal Jewell got better responses but her discussion threads were destroyed when she was banned. What a shame. I recall Crystal got well over 100 replies to her complaint last January about Zelenskyy taking money away from Julia’s Christmas gifts. Mammoth thread by today’s standards in the Gawkerverse. I know you…

Just like Bernie, RFK Jr. relies 100% on individual donations from you, the voter. RFK Jr. doesn’t want celebrity money because he doesn’t want to be beholden to anyone or anything except you, the voter.

Lots of great tennis players were born in Russia. Serena was born in Saginaw, Michigan. Saginaw is not a decaying disaster zone of abandoned houses and factories on the scale of Russia or Detroit, but it’s still pretty bad. We’re lucky Serena wasn’t aborted.

I guess you guys are right. My question was kind of dumb. But I’m just such a huge Serena fanboy. I can’t bear the thought of her being aborted. Other people, sure, but not Serena.

How many of these aborted fetuses could have been great tennis players? Probably a few. I’m just glad Serena Williams wasn’t aborted.

There are 16 year olds in the Ukrainian Army bravely fighting to protect American democracy from Vladimir Putin. How can we ask them to sacrifice for us on the battlefield when our 16 year olds will not even do factory work?

It’s clear to me now that the site shutdown was a clever ruse to trick me into confessing to being Crystal Jewell’s author. Closing the site was exactly the correct way to take advantage of my soppy sentimental side.

If Paste wants a quick solution to the labor question they can take Tomato up on his offer to run Splinter for an equity stake. But that offer is four years old and who even knows if Tomato is still alive.   Nonetheless it’s worth seeing if he’s still interested.

You hear the news? Today Paste Magazine acquired Jezebel and Splinter. The Paste editor-in-chief says he intends to relaunch them both. Let us hope the Paste staff understands that the TomatoFace brand was once a vibrant part of the Splinter/Jezebel identity and fosters a welcoming environment for a renaissance of trad…

Expired condoms.

The Mach Five.

Commenting at Jezebel is kind of like poking a zombie with a stick.
