Because he’s demonstrated himself to be such a trustworthy, law abiding citizen.

Yeah, that’s what I noticed, too. So much for all the MRA claims that society treats rape as the worst crime ever and a rape conviction completely destroys men’s lives. This was an open and shut case with a minor, witnesses, and clear violent coercion. But still... 1 freaking year.

Sessions is still there, so it’s not a certainty that Tillerson will get pushed out.

I would be content if it the left at least stops using politician as an insult.

It’s not necessarily about whether he’s actually competent or good at his job—he’s obviously neither—but about whether he believes he is.

I know it’s fashionable to be cynical, but I think with some of these men, they really see it as being about serving the greater good. I certainly think that’s the case with Mattis. Tillerson seems obviously unfit for the importance of the job he holds to me, but he presented well at his hearings and presumably thinks…

Yeah, I have some positive feelings for Lena since I like Lenny Letters, and I’ve been impressed at the diversity of featured writers. But that tweet was gross.

They weren’t publicly out as women. That’s not the same thing as not having been women.

Oh my goodness! That story feels so of our times.

“There is also no question that while sexual harassment by men in positions of power is common, it is by no means universal.” I am really starting to wonder about this. I know it is by no means universal among all working men. But I’m questioning the “men in position of power.” I’m not sure if it’s cause or effect,…

I agree that Muslim attackers get a presumption of terrorism, but I think that’s what should be changed. Not that all mass attackers should be presumed terrorists as some kind of equaling of the scale. I think the label should go based on data... was the attack planned in response to or with the assistance of an…

He planned the crime, but that doesn’t mean he had a political motivation. At this point, we honestly have no idea what his motive was. He doesn’t seem to have been motivated by gender bias—he didn’t start his mass murders with his girlfriend, which is already atypical for a mass shooting. He shot up a country music…

“It seems like they would be perfectly content with only Caucasians, Asians, and Asian- Americans being the only students admitted.”

At 14.6% of the incoming class, African-Americans are proportionally represented. So while yes, I agree that affirmative action is not a problem that needs to be solved, I disagree with what I think is the implication that African Americans are underrepresented.  

I also know that it’s very easy to be suspicious of…

So what’s the alternative? Non-trolling question... I genuinely don’t see what the alternative is absent a complete restructuring of our prison system to a more rehabilitative focus. Which I support, but is not going to happen in time to change anything for this guy.

And the constant theme of Jezebel comments seem to…

He factually didn’t act on November 12, so what crime other than the charge of uttering threats could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt in court? It doesn’t sound like he owned any weaponry either.

Wait... Confederate released an actual pilot? I thought it was still in early development.

if the purpose of this series was to expose racism in CPS and make us feel CPS was overreaching and behaving badly, it is not really doing that for me. So far, in every single story, I’ve understood why CPS took their actions and it seems like the family unit is better functioning due to CPS’s actions.

The only one…

There were protests and some outcry at the security changes. What there wasn’t, was the creation of a national-level, well-funded organization with lobbying power. Which is too bad in some way.

A lot of why right-wing screaming turns into legislative action and left-wing screaming does not is because right-wing causes…

By government, you appear to mean GOP.
