Are you joking? Jezebel has been shoving Bernie down our throats from 2015 onwards. Abo0ut the time he said he was looking for his taxes. I guess he’s still looking? 

what candidate should we back? No one according to Jezebel.

Yeah I can think of some legit, nonsexist reasons for a teenage boy to not want to wrestle a girl. From the girl wrestler’s end it may be no NBD, but from the boy’s end, it may be the first time they’ve ever been in the position to be in full-body contact with a girl. I can see how that might cause some serious…

Maybe I’m forgetting something, but what evidence was there that the cops framed anybody? At best they convicted him on somewhat circumstantial evidence, but that’s totally normal and certainly shouldn’t require them to overturn the conviction.

It’s really hard to come up with an explanation for who could have killed Hae other than Adnan. Adnan had the motive, he had the means, and that cell phone tower evidence is hard to dispute.

The first time I wasn’t sure one way or another.  The second time I listened to it was with my class of high school seniors and yeahhhhhhhhp...he’s guilty. Even the Serial podcast which is heavily tilted in his favor can’t hide it. 

I thought the ineffective assistance of counsel claim was very strong. But I also think that even with Clarence Darrow as his lawyer, he gets convicted. Because he did it.

The stretch mark thing is the absolute worst of the bunch. Ugh. Using IWD as a launch for your product aimed at women’s insecurities about a completely natural and universal skin trait is a special kind of cruel and stupid.

True....but this is really why I don’t care for true crime as entertainment. It’s morbid and disturbing to go over and over someone’s real life death. Lee’s family is being retraumatized over and over.

Look, I’m not saying Trump knows anything about young women being duct-taped and thrown in the back of cars for purposes of human trafficking, but do you remember when Trump gave detailed descriptions of women being duct-taped and thrown in the back of cars for purposes of human trafficking?

So why did the judge cut him so much slack? It’s hard to know.

Nothing happened to Omar. She isn’t a victim.

lowering the voting age is good in theory (and something i support) but it’s hard not to see this being a boon to cake eaters in the suburbs.

I agree with your take, Pelosi’s comments were fairly delicate but should have gone further and called out disingenuous of Alt-Right Which Is Now The Right. Pragmatism must prevail for Pelosi who is stuck herding cats. This whole episode has made me rather dubious of Congresswoman Omar, not for the laughable charge of…

Your first two paragraphs are nonsensical and display a lack of understanding of American politics or reality right now. “Off-brand Republicans” isn’t the way forward. “Co-opted progressive” IS the way forward. Progressive ideas but with an understanding and even respect for how Americans hew moderate at the end of…

THANK YOU!

Re: the wording of her critique, I agree. The problem is, after she made that initial benjamins remark, the wording of the rest of her remarks doesn’t matter anymore. The damage was done and anything she said after that was going to be suspect. At this point, if they want anyone to consider the points she was trying…

I believe that Congresswoman Omar is being targeted disingenuously.

I think Pelosi’s statement was pretty reasonable. If some people heard the statement as a dog-whistle, that’s a problem, even though it seems clear that Omar did not intend it as such. One problem with dog whistles or coded speech in general is that it is possible for people who aren’t tuned in to the sub rosa meaning…

They’re not throwing her under the bus because they don’t have a spine, they’re just not ready to give up the strides the Dems made in the midterms, and Dems’ chances in the 2020 elections, over Omar’s comments. They’re also not willing to risk alienating the very powerful pro-Israel lobby which would be a damaging…
