I'm sort of surprised with all that Trump likes to talk up his sexual prowess that nothing has come up regarding his personal life and abortion. Someone he's had an affair with or something.

Trump told Howard Stern he wanted Marla Maples to get an abortion when he found out she was pregnant. She didn't, and that fetus grew up to be Tiffany Trump.

Also this fails to understand that for the pro-life movement it is completely ok to have personally gotten an abortion (or even better just had a partner who did) so long as you oppose it now. You'd be surprised how many pro-life activists have close family who've they've helped get an abortion or had one themselves.

Developing technology does not require dumping it into publicly available vehicles and encouraging people to use it. Like once again, you can get almost all the features of Tesla Autopilot in a lot of other high end luxury vehicles, but they both don't advertise it as driving itself, and usually try to detect when you're not paying attention and sound alarms/try to stop you if seem to not be (for instance Nissan has some cars with enhanced cruise control/lane assist they're putting out soon which sound an alarm if you're driving and take both hands off the wheel for too long: [url]http://phys.org/news/2016-07-nissan-self-driving-simpleand-autonomous.html[/


Tesla updated autopilot to disengage of the driver takes their hands off the wheel for too long. Also, Nissan calls their system ProPilot, which doesn't really seem any better than Autopilot.

It's pretty similar to how evangelical churches LOVE redemption stories, like "I was a drug addict and at my lowest moment homeless on the street I was saved" or "I was an alcoholic that cheated on my wife until I found God" (or in my family's church, "I used to be a Jew but then I realized Jesus was the Savior").

You can admit to all sorts of things and it's fine as long as you asked God for forgiveness and got saved.

Once again, most of that decline came from the viability of having a job that wasn't smallhold agriculture, as opposed to all that labor actually being needed on farms.

After the high profile public decapitation got out they did that, yes. It should have been there from the start.

And ProPilot definitely isn't a common term among the public for "operates itself", so no it's a whole lot better.

Pro-Lifers take an anti-abortion stance so they have an excuse to punish poor women who have sex, not because they actually give a gently caress about fetuses or life.

E: Trump suporters certainly won't care about Trump's position on it now or ever because he is a vehicle for their anger and racism, as long as he maintains that his other policy positions (or lack thereof) don't matter to them

It looks like we're at the stage where the media seems to be completely zeroing in on Hillary. Aside from the "taco truck" thing, I haven't heard poo poo about Trump. I mean, yeah they're still reporting on him, sure. But this past week, unlike the past several weeks, have not been dominated by coverage on him, and at best, has been split with coverage on Hillary.

I never feared Trump suddenly winning over the hearts and minds of the rest of the country, but did fear that Hillary's biggest threat was going to be the press.

A car is dangerous. Autopilot has never meant full automation and using it to describe what Tesla has is not false advertising. I do not see the distinction between any misunderstandings from this feature vs someone thinking cruise control will steer for them.

It literally is Autopilot. That is what it is.

Autopilot means you don't need to pay attention to the average person. That is why it is false advertising to sell it like that, as well as being a real bad idea.

No it is not "literally" autopilot.

He doesn't care about having kids, only about diseases (hence having his dates checked out by his doctor).

“‘Cause I like kids,” said Trump. “I mean, I won’t do anything to take care of them. I’ll supply funds and she’ll take care of the kids. It’s not like I’m gonna be walking the kids down Central Park.”

It is false advertising to use a term that you know the public will think means something more than you actually have. It's like the entire concept behind false advertising.

Also, where were all those mass market ads for airliners again? I must have missed this market.

It's dog whistle sexism basically. Hillary is too weak to lead because she has a lower back pillow is all they can say after Trump's ruckus about blood spewing out of somewhere.
