Brett Kavanaugh
| US hasn't been leading in technology since the 80s.
| >>415544
Sorry. Forgot that no one outside USA uses Facebook, apple, Amazon or google. Microsoft is unheard of in India. Github, what's that? Cloudflare doesn't protect 80% of the web they are irrelevant.
| Houston has some of the best hospitals in the world. Also, not aware of any non-American major graphics card companies. Then again, Europe is leagues ahead of us in EAPs, amd Japan has a lot of shiny stuff too. So, each region has its own thing? But the US has been a leading nation for technological progress since the 1920s. Other nations are still important, and beat out the US in many fields, but its fruitless to deny US contribution to technology.
| Senator Collins is waffling about how hes not guilty, and talking so slow its obvious pandering. Not to mention shes there as a woman vouching for him to "drive home" the point that hes totally not a rapist, regardless of the failure to investigate anything.

Facebook, apple, Amazon or google don't produce technology anymore. They are only brands that sell licenses from stuff that was developed with public money at universities like Stanford, MIT etc. And their success was based on the competition with the soviet union. Also these companies are pushed by the US government to ease global surveillance by US secret services. IT companies from outside the USA have massive restrictions to enter the US market.

You're not very smart, are you?
3 of the 4 companies you mentioned appeared in the 90's and early 2000's.
| Quit talking about american relevance in the global tech market.
This is a thread about Brett kavanaugh and how shit he is.
| I guess he's such trash we can't even be bothered to talk about him?
| As a fellow American it is deplorable that we even have to talk about him. This is the highest court in the nation and if there is even the possibility that he did something as bad as sexual assault then we should move on to one of the other COMPLETELY QUALIFIED candidates.
This nation has got so partisan it's just hurting ourselves. If only we could get done party reform through Congress, but the party's in power will never let that happen...

>apple
>leading technology
Oh, I guess I should specify
US hasn't lead technology that has actually mattered
A website is not a technology, facebook doesn't count, amazon is a shipping company, that doesn't count, Google is a website, doesn't count.
Heres places that created the tech for them to be able to run. Japan and Korea.
Poland has faster Wifi than the US on average.
Pharmaceuticals are only "improved" for copyright most improved treatments come from Europe

The issue I see with that is that it sets a precedent of 'guilty until proven innocent', which isn't something we should want, ever.
In this situation, an accusation should be investigated, but if there's 0 evidence to support it, it has to be treated like a politically motivated lie.
To do otherwise just sets us up for problems down the line
| There's not no evidence though. She spoke about it to a therapist years in advance and clearly knew Kavanaugh and his friends at the time. There is a precedent of valuing the testimony of doctors (i.e. the therapist) higher than that of a normal human so that alone should qualify as credible.

Well, she was wrong when she said traumatic memories etch themselves accurately, I know that firsthand. I'm not questioning that she was attacked or that she believes herself, just the validity of her memories, when her best friend, who she at one point said was in the room, claims Kavanaugh wasn't there.
| And oh look.
2 dems voted to confirm him.
Guess that "liberal conspiracy" he was shouting about goes out the fucking window.
Congrats Repubs you put a rapist who doesn't believe in the fourth amendment into the supreme court, same with neolib centrists.
As expected from the people who love Pedophile Roy Moore and Adulterer Donald.
Republicans have no morals. Neither to Neolib centrists.
Fucking called it. Dems just wanted to be "we tried" while they fast track him. Kill them all.
| Kavanaugh
Conspiracy Mongering about Dem conspiracy.
Doesn't believe in the fourth amendment
Lied under oath. His own roommate from college has said he had.
Believes the president can pardon himself.
Thats more than enough reason for him not to even be a FUCKING JUDGE.
And fucking dems said they'll support the dems who voted him in, keep screaming conspiracy they did it so they could pretend they're not on the same side as corporatists like trump and GOP.
| >Washington Post Editorial Board
urges Senate to vote no on SCOTUS nominee for the first time in 30 years.
>Thousands of Law Professors
sign official letter of opposition. Representing 15% of all law professors. Unheard of for any other nominee.
>The Largest Church Council
A 100,000 person Church Council representing 40 million people opposes him.
>The Bar
called for a delay pending thorough investigation. This is Unheard of.
>The Dean of Yale
Called for an investigation...
| And yet they're desperately trying to push him through because he sits on Republican party views.
Also Senator Collins from maine, who defended him yesterday, was also one of the people shouting for Al Franken to step down under uncorroborated sexual assault allegations. I knew she was spouting propaganda but this shows shes a hypocrite for her own party.

No way this guy should become a judge in the supreme court.
I always thought George W. Bush and his homies will remain as historically unique stupid Characters in US Politics. But Trump and his fellowship really want to beat the record.
Seriously whats wrong with you US-americans? How could have you ever been leading in science and technology while having always such clowns as leaders?
