89. Yes, let's never miss any opportunity to bash Bernie...

Apr 2018

you've really "jumped the shark" on this one.

Apparently then, there's nothing Joy could say or do that would ever warrant outrage and condemnation, cuz it sposedly would be just retribution for perceived slights against Bernie... okay, I get it... riiiigght!! You're good!!

btw, I'm not suggesting in any way, shape, or form that Joy is guilty of what she's accused of saying... I believe in redemption and hope she learned from the previous episode when she was caught making homophobic statements.

Indeed, I give Joy the benefit of the doubt on that and think she's entitled to due process to make her case... if her hacking explanation holds up and she's being honest, no problem... if, however, she made up that excuse to avoid responsibility, then I don't see how that can be justified... her views on Bernie are irrelevant in reaching that conclusion.

Didn't she apologize last year for this? B2G Apr 2018 #9

Probably because the newly uncovered posts are especially egregious. Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2018 #10

That was a different story about which she apologized. That really happened, this probably didn't. George II Apr 2018 #35
