True. But Schumer seems to be missing that bastard gene and has no willingness to publicly throw them under the bus. Asshats like Sinema and Manchin only respond to assholery. There must be pet projects, federal funding and budget allocation to their states that Schumer (with the quiet approval of Biden) can threaten…

Politics self selects for egotists. You are guaranteed to have a couple of show boaters willing to hold the nation hostage to bolster their sense of self importance. The problem is Democrats aren’t as willing to “whip” their errant members into submission. Josh Hawley, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz etc are pompous wind bags.…

Reassured by the generally underwhelming Met Gala this year. Just like us, celebrities are uninspired and phoning it in at work.

Already exhausted by the AOC dress takes that will be inflicted on us tomorrow. Not a fan, but it would be really helpful if all sides of the political spectrum didn’t spontaneously combust every time she breathes.

People who need to self soothe themselves that his awfulness was unique to him. Not the manifestation of a resentful citizenry who can’t wait to repeat the chaos with any old loon who legitimizes their fascist world views.

A. You don’t have to be literate to know Trump will run again.

Tired of the “Trump sucked” genre of books. Begging y’all to stop buying these books and to stop paying attention to these grifter vultures. They are making bank picking over the rotten carcass of Trump’s presidency, whose disastrous term they helped manifest. Why do we keep rewarding the fuckers who enabled Trump…

Not sure why Olivia Munn has been made the face of two articles about this on Jezebel now. Mulaney is the grown man who ended his marriage and moved on rapidly. If it wasn’t Munn it would have been any other woman who caught his fancy. This framing and many of the comments here have been “other-womaning” Munn. FFS just…

“They’re great, but I love what I do,” he said of kids at the time. “And I love my wife and spending so much time with her and we have a really fortunate life. I get to travel, do stand-up, and our relationship is so wonderful. It’s just something I wouldn’t want to change.”- JM.

You can think this dude is funny, talented and trying his best. But he is also a douche bag. This dude is pulling a “Phoenix rising from the ashes” story line after dumping his wife and immediately knocking up the next thing that blinked at him. The same ex wife he praised for supporting him through his prior issues…

We should “normalize” not womb trolling famous women for simply going outside in normal clothes. But. The blog that has reported every last detail of every K-Klan relationship drama is suddenly above relationship gossip? John Mulaney cultivated the image of a sensitive man just trying to do his best by his wife. It is…

Imagine hitting the privilege jackpot of being wealthy, white, conventional pretty and yet settling for an even creepier Mr. Eraserhead. She thinks he is going somewhere, so she’s decided to hitch her wagon to him. But all signs point to jail. Once his father is no longer around or able to prop him up, he will be a…

Fair. Women’s rights served as one of the covers on the left. So did LGBTQ rights. We could argue about the uselessness of cutesy women’s day and gay flag displays during the occupation of Afghanistan. And the hijacking of the messaging about these groups’ oppression in Afghanistan. The fact remains that there were…

This assigns too much importance to feminists. Afghanistan was never invaded to protect women or to appease western feminists. It was invaded to protect US National security and economic interests, period. Feminist lobbying would have had no bearing on the decision to invade Afghanistan either way.

And Chuck Berry, Neil Diamond, Johnny Burnette ...

Yup and you don’t have to take the “groupies” words for it. They put it in their songs for all to hear. Even if you are the sort of asshole who thinks “groupies” are subhuman. A quick glance at the discography of the famous musicians of that era shows what a creepstastic hellscape music was at the time.

Unfortunately this is going to be impossible to prove 5+ decades later. Although as you say though everybody knows this abuse was rampant in those circles back then. Like this 60s folk/pop creep called Gary Puckett who released a song called “Young Girl”. These days the FBI would consider the song a confession. He…

Bump and done. The lgbtq link no longer works btw

Many of your points are valid, but there are other factors at play too. Coulda-woulda-shoulda aside, all we have left now are a series of “heartless” options. Leave thousands of US citizens and their Afghan associates behind to die, or send 1000 young Americans in to face a deadly enemy for a what would hopefully be a…

Kinja is such a fucking shitshow. I can’t read your complete comment about the SF ODA teams.
