Rinse, repeat. This is 2016 all over again. Anyone who had Bernie Bro friends on Facebook back then (i.e. everyone posting here) knows that the Bros bit even harder on the Hillary conspiracy theories than the right wing did. For the obvious reason: the target of those lies wasn’t people on the right, who were already…

Consider who owns Jezebel these days - a private equity firm, who’s partners would much prefer a second Trump term to a Biden presidency. Follow the money.

To be fair the suggestion that she was in poverty seems to be more Jezebel nonsense (who long have had an issue admitting when they are wrong or that certain women are in fact probamatic to say the least, and not everything is black or white) than White nonsense.

Try harder, try hard. I’m saying that this particular person was not impoverished not that no white people are poor. It’s insulting to anyone who is or has been in poverty. Like, actually infuriating. Tara Reade’s life has been drenched in privilege. She got to act as an “expert witness” without one person checking…

I don’t disagree that class is an issue. I don’t disagree that there are no perfect victims. I don’t even disagree that she has lived a hard and sad life.

If Jezebel continues with this bullshit for the remainder of the election, then I'm done with this website for good.

There is a definitely a conversation around how victims are portrayed and class intersects that, but it would be nice if Jezebel or any other outlet that pushes that narrative would at least be honest about some of their framing around Reade. It’s not that “she had economic issues, so clearly she’s lying”, its the…

I understand if none of the writers here want to state bluntly whether they believe Reade or not, but at some point the critique on how Reade’s life has been picked apart should be put up in contrast with other content in Jezebel or even G/O at large. 

I swear this dead horse will come back to life if I just beat it a couple more times. 

“For months, journalists have worked to corroborate Tara Reade’s allegation that she was sexually assaulted by Joe Biden in 1993. Much of that reporting has focused on the particulars of the allegation: journalists have interviewed 74 former Biden staffers and dug up tape appearing to show Reade’s mother calling into…

Poverty?! She was in poverty?!?! This is some White nonsense. I’ll see myself out. 

Someone documented that several years ago. A study was sone just after Paramount took it over showing that a disproportionate amount of the arrests shown were of PoC even though that was not what they actually filmed.

The lesson here for bigots everywhere is that public displays of racism will not be tolerated. We demand you keep that shit to yourselves, and if you lose your job because you just couldn’t help yourself, well, “this is what happens when you don’t comply.”——- YES!!!!! I realize that no one can change you , but do…

Plot twist: the “bad boys” were the cops all along.

This is the very first place I’ve seen any advocate of “defunding” use it to actually mean “defunding” rather than “budgetarily decimate,” so it’s clearly not that clear. Hell, even the article linked to with “Yes! Yes! Yes!” doesn’t use “defund” to mean “defund.”

My favorite part of the hilarious reaction to the defund the police is the idea that it means to get rid of law enforcement rather than simply taking their tank, and camouflage budgets and using them to fund schools and shit. Sure we’d like to remake and re-evaluate what law enforcement is and how they do their job,…

I’m watching everybody and their moms saying that they didn’t watch COPS. That shit didn’t stay around for 33 years for the hell of it. 

Scratch Jefferson. I have no qualms calling out a forty-four-year-old man for having a “relationship” with a fourteen-year-old girl, regardless of The Times.

Biden isn’t keen on that. Still, it’s hard to view this as a disappointment when there was no chance of him adopting this stance in the first place.

One of the links in the article (as well my comment) literally points out how that’s more than a bit misleading: https://newrepublic.com/article/158104/rush-redefine-defund-police
