I do the same thing with Jacobin I love it when insufferably self-righteous and overconfident people run head-first into a brick wall

Oh then unless Canada requires it never mind I had read an article in either slate or vox that was talking about whether or not he was eligible and if his mother had renounced her citizenship but i must be misremembering or misunderstanding what it said damn it would’ve been nice to get him thrown out of the Senate…

Actually it’s questionable if his mother was a citizen at the time of his birth since under US law you forfeit your citizenship if you take the oath of allegiance to another country meaning there’s a plausible argument that not only is Ted Cruz not a natural born citizen but in fact an illegal immigrant (however it…

I know! With Kamala I honestly was expecting less “angry/ nasty black woman” and more “Temple of Doom/Kalima!!!” bullshit- you know to make sure the Indians don’t get feeling too comfortable. God Trump's racism was always incredibly dull but this is just sad...

Well what is “Asia” anyway? I mean really it’s really connected to both Europe and Africa by land so where we choose to place the line dividing the 3 is so arbitrary! /s

The person she should be apologizing to is Biden who was falsely accused of slamming a former staffer Tara Reade against a wall, lifting up her skirt and fingerblasting in a hallway of the US Senate building in the early 90's. Esther, despite massive red flags in Tara’s story and no contemporaneous corroboration, repor…

Yeah it’s especially shitty considering the only reason she’s apologizing in the first place was because she supported him initially and it might have hurt his campaign as opposed to any genuine feelings of remorse for participating in a rush to judgement before all the facts were in

Wow this is quite bold of you Esther but I have to wonder is there anyone else who you may have misjudged? Say a prominent politician who was accused of something far more serious that ultimately turned out to a ratfucking operation perpetuated by a perjurer who had been grifting off her association with him without…

Wow you guys are really bad at your job... Like REALLY REALLY bad

Those rumors happen with every vp vetting process though I remember how often I would see stories about who Mitt Romney pick (could it be Santorum? Rubio? Ooh how about Haley? Oh it’s the boring Randroid...) Beyond that there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for why he kept delaying- Trump was having unbelievably…

I lived in Rockwall for 6 years up until my junior year of high school when the financial crisis when the property taxes and insurance costs made it impossible to afford to keep living and holy mother of god are the people there the worst. They have all the smug elitism of rich people the bigotry of your garden…

Honestly I can’t even call Plano a suburb anymore- 300,000 people would make it one of if not the largest city in a state in most of the country. (hell it’s half the population of Wyoming!) the sheer scale of how huge DFW has gotten and how quickly is just mind-blowing it kinda breaks down how you perceive large…

I live in Dallas and you’re right that people starting a family are moving to the suburbs but I feel like I need to point out that from my own experience the suburbs are starting to segregate themselves or more precisely the whites are going to previously outlying places like Rockwall Denton and Kaufman because Black…

In other primary news: the part of Georgia where Deliverance takes place is about to send a Q Anon supporter who thinks we witnessed an “Islamic takeover of the United States” in 2018. I can’t imagine why the producers of Deliverance thought the people there were a bunch of inbred violent bigots...

She got 82% in the first round

That "supposedly” has been putting in a lot of work recently hasn't it?

Fa is the philosophical concept in Mohisim Legalism and Confucianism that loosely translates to “law” but also “standard” or “model” and refers to the rulers of a nation teaching the common people a set standard of conduct to ensure a peaceful society free from nepotism and other non-meritocratic means of attaining…

Also if it’s the Naval Academy wouldn’t grades and SAT test scores also play a role? It’s not like they’re just teaching boat stuff to their seamen- they also do all the non-innuendo sounding stuff a regular university would and since he was only able to get a d in bible thumping it could've just been he was a moron

Or the thing that made Rome so wildly successful for 400 years- incredibly low standards for gaining citizenship. In fact the tightening of these restrictions resulted in a failure to fully assimilate the various Germanic peoples into the empire and the sacking of Rome itself.

Looks like you’re the one who needs to learn how to read- all it says is that they live near rich people not they themselves are rich. Also even if they were, that doesn’t give 3 teenagers license to threaten them with murder you fucking psychopath
