Free speech does not mean consequence free speech. It's not some gross injustice that saying racist things or supporting racist candidates makes people think you're racist.

33 congressional hearings and $7 million were spent on the whole Benghazi thing, and what did it prove? Obviously she should have supported the ambassador better but hindsight is 20/20. http://www.vanityfair.com/news&#x

Trump has advocated for the death penalty to be used against innocent teenagers. I'd say that's worse than torture. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/10/08/do...

Star Trek TNG is as close to 'white mirror' as we'll ever get. A universe where human nature advances alongside technology. It's obviously way more far fetched and the show hasn't aged well though.

I don't get what you're trying to say. What does "objectively hateful" mean? You think the president's words don't affect Americans?

Absolutely agree. I know there are other cheap android phones but Nexus was always a good bang for your buck. This is like Toyota discontinuing the corolla to compete with Maserati.

I think they do it to leave a nice image in the customers head. Saying "remind me to buy cat litter" does not.
