Clinton was for the TPP when she was involved in negotiating it. After a few years with her out of the loop, she takes a look at what it turned out to be and she doesn't like it. Is this supposed to be some sort of inconsistency? Ever work on a project that you thought a great deal of, been taken off, and hated what other people made it into?
You know, I drove through a heavily Republican area on my way to work, and there was a complete absence of Trump signs. Lots of signs for people not running for President, though.
Somebody's going to have to clean the toilets. I'd like these people to get paid reasonably well and have a certain amount of security and opportunity.
Eich publicly supported Proposition 8, and donated a large sum of money, all to deny certain people the right to marry the ones they loved. He was a bad cultural fit for Mozilla.
OK, there are some people who do that sort of thing. There's idiots all over the political spectrum, and since they're often loud they often seem more numerous than they are.
However, people who use the term "SJW" seem to think the idiots are representative of a much larger group, and are insulting towards any behavior that is similar to what they'd expect out of a "SJW". Further, they see individual actions and treat them as if they were general principles, because it fits their expectations.
For all of you who think that nobody should object to Thiel because of his politics, I hope you agree with me that nobody should be discriminated against in business on grounds of race, sex, religion, or sexual orientation.
If you think differently than them, have different opinions, or don't share their SJW goals, you are Other and are to be despised.
Don't bother arguing otherwise.
It's like conservatives expect everybody to take what they say at face value. There's a lot of racism and sexism in this country (including more than I like among the left), and it's unpopular to express it publicly.
Islam is a religion. There's a LOT of Muslims whose politics I greatly dislike, but the Muslims I've known are quite reasonable and hardly ever go on jihaidic shooting sprees. Most Muslims, like most Christians and most Buddhists, want to live their own reasonably peaceful lives. They may provide political support for things I find despicable, but that's not a serious problem, given the numbers that are fleeing to the West.
He kept a certain amount of hush-hush on the genocide, but Mein Kampf makes it pretty clear what he thought about Jews when he wrote it. (There's evidence that he was a lot friendlier to them early in life.) Of course, Trump has made it pretty clear what he thinks about Muslims.
Used to be the press wouldn't dig into the President's personal life, as a general rule. Kennedy's sex life would have been plenty scandalous had the US public been aware of it.
FWIW, Trump's first lawsuit was the Department of Justice suing him for racial discrimination, and apparently he doesn't approve of people of Mexican descent becoming judges.
Actually, when Atlantis was about to sink, they took a lot of cats and fastened toast to their backs, so if they actually fell to the ground the cats wouldn't land on their feet or the buttered toast wouldn't fall on the buttered side, and suspended the continent from them. This worked until they forgot to feed the cats, so they had nothing to eat but the toast on each other's backs. This caused Atlantis to sink beneath the waves, a real cattoastrophe.
Why does military R&D cost so much? Because they make damn sure it works before it gets sent to a war zone.
Actually, what they really care about is if it works after it gets sent to a war zone. That can get really tricky, as there's all sorts of ways to get that wrong. A German WWII veteran told me that the MG34 (standard machine gun at the beginning of the war) was an excellent machine gun and a joy to fire provided it was kept scrupulously clean and away from dust and dirt and blood and things like that. He thought the MG42 (its replacement) was a much better weapon.
You're a little optimistic there. The US went independent with all sorts of measurements. Even now, a pound of gold is lighter than a pound of books, because they use different pounds. There's much to be said for a system where a kilogram of X is exactly as massive as a kilogram of Y.
You don't send the best people you can find on a novel and dangerous mission and expect them to make no mistakes. You send them so they'll probably make fewer fatal mistakes than other people would.
WTF? You Clinton-haters usually assume that the Clintons do all sorts of evil and nefarious things without getting caught. Now you say Hillary can't put together a decent smear campaign? If the Clintons can leave a trail of bodies behind them without being accused or indicted, they can definitely do a good smear campaign.
I don't know. Were you okay with how you were awakened? Had you given any indication that that would be liked or disliked? The woman Assange had sex with while she was asleep was not OK with it, particularly since he wasn't wearing a condom.
Or maybe Ecuador has limits in what they want to do. They get political points for defying the US, so hosting a guy who claims the US is out to get him is good for them. Interfering in other countries' elections is more serious than just harboring a guy who claims to be a fugitive from the US, and they may well not want to play that hardball. It weakens their objections against the US interfering in their elections, and can hurt their diplomatic standing with other countries.
They may well have had a message from the US pointing this out, but it almost certainly wasn't accompanied with a threat.
There's also the possibility that Ecuador wanted to mess with US elections, and found it expedient to cut Assange off after he leaked what he could.
Trump made the press feel threatened. Have you ever noticed what happens when someone does that?
Besides, the media aren't out for absolute truth. They're out for eyeballs. They're into controversy because it attracts eyeballs. Trump provides them with lots of controversy that makes himself look bad.

And asking questions of a thoroughly biased person will make me more knowledgeable - how?

Just enjoying these two sentences together.
I take it you were opposed to Chick-Fil-A's stance on LGB issues?

It's a lot harder to find real dirt on Clinton than a lot of people seem to think.

Liking the ladies is fine. Sexually assaulting them at least indicates a different meaning for "like".

Trump loosed the election long ago. Had he held on to it, he'd have a prayer of winning it.

Nobody has explained to me why it's a bad thing that the DNC has a preference for who gets nominated.
