Look forward to the "I thought yall just wanted her to apologize? But you'd still like her gone? Curious, maybe you did just want to silence a black woman all along no matter what" takes that completely ignore the ridiculous double-down that went on.

Remember, you should judge everyone not by what they do, did or how it affects anyone, but by what they nominally state their intent was.

The sad thing is that all the people concerned about representation of women of color in the media are completely oblivious as to who has been hurt the most by the whole Russia hysteria that people like Joy have cynically been pushing.

A person from a minority saying someone's hate speech is okay doesn't make it okay and isn't taken as credible when it's within the Republican Party, and it shouldn't within the Democratic Party either.

The Russians have a history of posing as and embedding themselves with black activists. To the point where the biggest BLM page on Facebook was a Russian agent. They use and manipulate black issues, activists and iirc had a bunch of their boots following/interacting with Joy already.

Also remember, this is the dumbest/wildest/darkest timeline so that's why I put it at 10%.

Theory: how heartfelt someone's apology is to you is inversely proportional to how much you wanted them to apologize and directly proportional to how mad you were at other people for wanting an apology in the first place

I wasn't expecting her to lose her position, just that it would keep being funny. I didn't expect an 11 hour apology that everyone jumps on and tut tuts anyone who doesn't accept it except really it was the time traveling bernie bro russians who hacked it

though maybe i should have, and im a dumbass.

But not particularly surprising since the party has since at least the early 90s decried any commitment to principles or ideology other than group loyalty (and that mainly focused on the Clinton clique).

well, if there was any doubt left at all, the fact that she's shifted from "I didn't write those posts" to "I don't remember writing those posts" is about as close to conclusive proof as we're likely to get. it's the bad lib tendency to tell little lies rather than big ones, to claim you don't remember it than to outright deny it

"I don't remember doing that" is basically taking the fifth
