Facebook Employees Outraged Over Exec's Appearance at Kavanaugh Hearing (thedailybeast.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Hundreds of Facebook employees have reportedly expressed anger that an executive attended Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh's public hearing last week to support him, The Wall Street Journal reports. Joel Kaplan, Facebook's head of global policy, was at Kavanaugh's hearing because he is reportedly close friends with the Supreme Court Justice nominee. Outraged employees reportedly brought his appearance up during an internal question-and-answer session with CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and have been expressing their concerns in internal discussion threads. On Friday, Zuckerberg said that "he wouldn't have made the same decision but the appearance didn't violate Facebook policies," the Journal reports.
How you feel if you raped in high school ? Disgusting you support this guy, the 99% are outraged over rapists be put in office.
Regardless of whether its true or not, the way he has been acting during the hearings, presenting himself in the public eye, and what he has said should immediately exclude him from any judiciary position from now on. He has proven that he cannot at all be impartial and that he has a bias against anyone center or left of center. He has lied under oath and is not fit to be a judge of a small town in Nowheresville, USA let alone a sitting judge on the Supreme Court.

Yeah, he was a party boy at a school for the elites. You know, the ones that rape children in the basement of pizza parlors? Kavanaugh is the kind of person Trump has been calling to have locked up, and now they're okay with making him a top tier judge?
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
No way to speak about Republicans.

He's already been caught lying, which was enough to impeach a president. If he was even remotely qualified, it'd be a different story, but he's an elitist shitbag that's only in power because he comes from the right family.

....How would you feel about losing the job of your lifetime to an accusation?
Let's assume he's 100% innocent. Why should I have more pity for this person than the millions who lost health insurance under Trump? Or Farmers who are losing their livelihoods because of a misguided trade war? Or the children put in immigration prison and separated from their families indefinitely? Or small investors who will lose their life savings in the next crash because the Trump administration is eliminating the CFPD and making fraud legal again. Or the thousands of Yemenis and Syrian civilians who were killed by U.S. bombs, dropped by the Trump administration? Or Heather Heyer who was run over by a Trump supporter, who happens to be a "good person". I could go on and on. There are millions of U.S. citizens who have very good reasons to vote against this administration in November.
I'm supposed to feel sorry for a very well-to-do jurist who went to Georgetown prep, was a legacy admission to Yale, and had political opportunities up the wazoo because he was buddies with all the right Republicans at a very early age. This person is a judge on the second-highest court in the country. He has a nice upper-class life. If he gets sick, doctors will take care of him. When he retires, or is disabled and can no longer work, he will receive a golden pension and live in dignity. I'm sorry Republicans, but I just cannot feel sorry for your boy. Even if he's 100% innocent and this is a "con-job orchestrated by the Clintons". Kavanaugh is the ultimate snow flake.
My point wasn't about the parties, my point was that elites are abusive scumbags. That point was a third of Trump's campaign rhetoric, and it resonated because it was true to a significant extent, but it's being ignored now because of which "team" the person in question is on.
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
or even a real investigation. That's what happened. Let the FBI work without the president interfering and we'll talk.
What little we do know shows why the GOP is fighting so hard against this. We've got 3-4 accusers (one of them is too afraid to step forward and is anonymous). We've got multiple corroborating reports from people who knew him at the time. He's perjured himself multiple times (including about things unrelated to the assaults).
If I submitted an app to 7-11 with this many holes in my background check I'd be turned down, but somehow we're going to put a guy in one of if not the most powerful positions with this on his record?
Something ain't right. He's being rammed through by the mega corps and mark my words, we're going to regret it. We're gonna miss Roe v Wade guys, because when this guy gets done gutting worker protections we're all gonna wish we were aborted.
