Gizmodo got their hands on an internal memo gone viral at Google that criticizes extreme biases and blind promotion of diversity. The memo's author confronts the practice of silencing such minority opinions through shame:
"Despite what the public response seems to have been, I've gotten many personal messages from fellow Googlers expressing their gratitude for bringing up these very important issues which they agree with but would never have the courage to say or defend because of our shaming culture and the possibility of being fired. This needs to change."
Are these hints of the writing on the proverbial wall? One fears the diversity pendulum will break rather than be allowed to swing back.
[Update: Google has written a memo to its employees about the document. - ed]

Yeah, you're right. There is little competition with people like this representing your party. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2484587/posts [freerepublic.com]

Not my party, but I guess HRC is still a crook so Trump supporters don't need to look at their own problems.

The Grand Inquisitors of the Far Left are examining Trump as we speak. They'll have him burning at the cross soon enough. Then they'll regret it because the forgettable fellow filling the second string slot will become first string - and he sucks more ass than Trump does. Have you ever heard, "Be careful what you wish for, because you may get it"? In all of GWB's years, I never wished that Bush would just drop dead, because that other forgettable second stringer would have taken over GWB's job.

Is that really the best endorsement you can muster for the corrosive dickhead you helped vote into office? "BEWARE THE MIKE PENCE DEADMAN SWITCH"

HRC and Wasserman-Schultz helped elect the corrosive moron - I did not. I suppose you need a reminder that I didn't vote for the court fool, or for the wicked witch - I voted Libertarian. And, before you get started, as bad as Johnson is, he's still better than either the D or the R.

Its funny how the whole world is now being introduced to dirty dealings of Trump almost everyday. Everyday there is an article on NYT and The Economist and The Guardian crapping all over Trump. One almost wonders what would have happened if so much shit was hurled at him before his election.
Oh wait, no.... there was only 1 thing that was important, wasn't it? He hates women..... grabs pussy.... and if you don't support HC you hate women..... I suppose even if Russian connection is true, in the eyes of the libtards grabbing pussy was a clear indicator the conservatives should have foreseen.

I think the HRC / Trump reference is about you not having to address your own problems because you can deflect on to something else. You took the bait and reeeeally ran with it.
