IMO the biggest takeaway from this piece is how much Joel Kaplan—you know, Brett Kavanaugh’s friend—really steered Facebook away from anything that might help expose how much it was used helped Trump Win and continues to push Rwnj posts. nytimes.com/2018/11/14/tec…
Also the @PodSaveAmerica crew might want to rethink their close allegiance with a Republican operator helping Facebook cover its bad acts.
And though we should have known at that Lean In garbage, Sheryl Sandberg is bad news. Facebook is a bad company. It should be broken up and regulated.
Facebook using antisemitism to go after its competitors and critics is one of the most disgusting bits of corporate skullduggery ever. Especially since Zuckerberg and Sandberg have both cited being Jewish to express their concern over hate speech. Shanda.
Again Brett Kavanaugh’s friend steered Facebook to leave trolls and hyperpartisan ‘news’ Up. Guess what kind of posts were most popular during Kavanaugh hearings? Those attacking Ford and pumping the ridiculous Whelan’s theory. So now Facebook helped get a Justice.

Remember, @brianstelter's network was the dung beetle that started rolling this shitball.
This has nothing to do with tradition. It has to do with the refs being worked. And maybe ratings. Though I'm betting most non journos will just watch Netflix.
How many reporters and podcasters will decry this move publicly or privately, only to collect their "analyst" checks?

.@AOC would drive the right insane, so there's that. And she'd probably realize what everybody else should: This isn't an opportunity to rebut the speech, but to lay out the vision/promise of the party.
Whoever does this speech should proceed from this piont: This is usually a boring awkward asymetrical exercise. Fuck that. Let's get real.

Thread. Nazi--#Kavanaugh posters found yesterday on the campus of Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY and all around the Hudson Valley region. Designed by The Daily Stormer (a reference to “Der Stürmer,” the Nazi tabloid), a webzine formerly known as Total Fascism.
2. Daily Stormer was launched in 2013 by Andrew Anglin, who embraced a Nazi ideology on the Daily Stormer.
3. Dailystormer.com was getting more than 10 million page views until it was shut down by GoDaddy and Google after remarks about the activist murdered in Charlottesville. It then briefly reappeared on a Russian domain.

#Kavanaugh tweet storm beginning now:

1/
Today’s confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is the most significant judicial victory for conservatives of my lifetime. All conservatives should thank @SenMajLdr & @ChuckGrassley for their extraordinary leadership through a grueling battle.

2/
Moving the court from 5-4 liberal to 5-4 conservative will have sweeping ramifications for the country. Most importantly, it will restore the rule of law & the Constitution. Democrat efforts to end run state legislatures, Congress & the executive branch will now be fruitless.

By raging he's being framed by a Clinton revenge plot conspiracy, Kavanaugh echoed Trump propagandists discrediting Mueller & Russia probe. That in itself is disqualifying from sitting on the Supreme Court. It also proves he won't be an impartial arbiter on those & other matters.
Forget the alleged sexual assault & lies for a moment. Kavanaugh's partisan rant about a left-wing smear conspiracy is so off-the-rails improper for someone whose job is literally to DISPASSIONATELY & fairly interpret facts & law before him. And he wants a promotion to SCOTUS??
Maybe #Kavanaugh's not a conspiracy theorist. But he is consciously echoing Trump. He altered strategy from choir-boy Fox interview b/c Trump didn't like it. Kav's already bending to the executive who named him, like the political operative he is at heart. And will be on SCOTUS.

#Kavanaugh THREAD:

David Brock on NBC: “I used to know Brett Kavanaugh pretty well. And, when I think of Brett now, in the midst of his hearings for a lifetime appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court, all I can think of is the old "Aesop's Fables" adage: (1)
"A man is known by the company he keeps." And that's why I want to tell any senator who cares about our democracy: Vote no. Twenty years ago, when I was a conservative movement stalwart, I got to know Brett Kavanaugh both professionally and personally. (2)
Brett actually makes a cameo appearance in my memoir of my time in the GOP, "Blinded By The Right." I describe him at a party full of zealous young conservatives gathered to watch President Bill Clinton's 1998 State of the Union address — (3)

Trump: #Kavanaugh’s never had even a little blemish. I have great faith in the Senate and their process. If it [confirmation] has to be delayed a little, then it will be. Feinstein had this information and didn’t bring it up. It should’ve been brought up a long time ago. #SCOTUS
GOP @SenatorCollins: #Kavanaugh was emphatic in denying sexual assault allegations. Obviously if he lied about it, it would be disqualifying.
“Disqualifying”—Susan Collins is the first Senate Republican to say the word out loud: “Obviously if Judge Kavanaugh has lied about what happened, that would be disqualifying.” He should obviously withdraw, but that’s a precedent Trump might have to follow
