Yet, if you read this clown's memo/manifesto, he makes it sound like that's not the case. That they're still being compelled by non-free market forces, and by somehow being more free market (which again, how the gently caress is this supposed to work?) everything will be hunky dory because supposedly more minorities will be hired because they're actually qualified, as opposed to the ones that are there right now.

google is being compelled by the nefarious SJW forced diversity agenda, which is a real thing that really exists and it's always causing corporations to behave suboptimally, it ruins every conversation about mass effect build strats on the 'net, and it even messes up your pots and pans while you sleep. this guy, through the sheer force of his intelligence (white entitlement) was going to expose the hypocritical charade to google management, at which point they would certainly laud his crushing intellect and give him a big medal for solving the problem because his giant for-profit employer surely works along the same principles as his student labs did during his academic career

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is backing away from his prediction of an impending vacancy on the Supreme Court.

In an interview with Reuters Friday, Grassley said he no longer expects an opening on the court to emerge anytime soon.

"Evidently that's not going to happen," Grassley said. "I don't have any expectation we will have a vacancy as I thought there would be."

Sacramento itself is a purple dot in a sea of red. If the Republicans talked Korea into nuking it, the residents all around the area would be dying of radiation poisoning, yet still vote Republican, ensuring that their healthcare is taken away, leaving them to die in agony from horrible cancers. With their last rattling breath, each of them will smile and say "triggered yet, liberals?"

God damn it, you've got to be kind.
Trump article from April 2016:

Speaking at a rally in Rothschild, Wisconsin ahead of the state’s primary on Tuesday, the Republican presidential frontrunner said that if conflict between Japan and nuclear-armed North Korea were to break out, “it would be a terrible thing but if they do, they do”.

“Good luck,” he added. “Enjoy yourself, folks.”

Referring to the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, Trump also complained that the US had 28,000 troops on the armistice line between North Korea and South Korea “to stop a maniac”.

Trump complained that the United States received no benefit from deploying troops around the world to help other countries who did not reimburse American taxpayers. “We can’t be the policeman of the world,” said Trump.

“What we do get out of it?” he asked. “It’s time that other people stopped looking at us as stupid, stupid people.”
