Kamala Harris is kinda giving shit to Sheryl Sandberg
I don't know who to root for
Yeah, it just looks so fake and pathetic on Cspan. As if it actually means something. They create a day's worth of TV programming, create manufactured drama for the masses, and then nothing comes of it.
Those home remodeling shows on HGTV have the same basic premise, now that I think of it.
OK so the org paying the yelling protestitutes at the Kavanaugh hearing are getting cash from the Alliance for Global Justice.
The Alliance for Global Justice:
"AfGJ bills itself as “A little bit people’s think tank, a whole lot of organizing.” Indeed, everyone on AfGJ’s staff has considerable experience in organizing, both at home and abroad. But AfGJ does more than just organize. It helps fund many different left-wing groups through a legal maneuver known as “fiscal sponsorship.”
AfGJ’s funding reads like a Who’s Who of radical left-wing foundations. Since 2004, AfGJ has received over $200,000 in funding from the Tides Foundation. Tides’ radicalism has been documented many times by Capital Research Center. Indeed, when other left-wing foundations want to give money to radical leftist groups but don’t want to be seen giving it directly, they donate to Tides as a pass-through. (Previous CRC papers on Tides: Green Watch, August 2012; Foundation Watch, July 2011; and Foundation Watch, October 2010.) From 2004 to 2006, the Open Society Institute (now known as Open Society Foundations) gave $100,000 to AfGJ. The Open Society Institute was founded by billionaire George Soros, who seems never to have met a leftist cause he didn’t want to fund."

Alliance for Global Justice's name may ring a bell if you remember the chaos surrounding Milo Yiannopolis' planned speech at UC Berkeley in February 2017. The property damage, the arrests, the extra police presence required? Yeah, that was all on AFGJ.
"On February 1, 2017, a group of about 150 masked thugs rioted before the scheduled speech of conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos at U.C. Berkeley. They caused injuries and over $100,000 worth of property damage on campus and, according to the Downtown Berkeley Association, another $400,000 to $500,000 worth of damage elsewhere. The university cancelled Yiannopoulos’ speech.
A group calling itself Refuse Fascism organized the thugs. Refuse Fascism was launched in December 2016 as the Left lost its collective mind in the wake of Donald Trump’s election victory. Its website proclaims, “It’s Fascism: Drive Out the Trump/Pence Regime!”
Its leaders appeared to have no compunctions about causing the Berkeley riot, because they brag it was “righteous.” Calling Yiannopoulos a “major fascist operative,” Refuse Fascism justified shutting down his speech” with the assertion, “Milo Yiannopoulos is not engaging in ‘free speech.’ He is consciously spearheading the Nazification of the American University.” Lastly, Refuse Fascism declared, “These protests should be supported and defended by all those who value critical thought.”
Yet if one visits Refuse Fascism’s website, it becomes readily apparent that critical thinking is not the group’s strong suit. The website never actually explains why the Trump administration or Yiannopoulos are fascist. (Perhaps Mike Pence goosesteps into his office every day, or Milo’s cameraman wears a brown shirt?) The silliest part of the website is the page that purports to list Trump’s “crimes against humanity,” which include revoking “federal guidelines that mandated transgender students have the right to use public restrooms that match their gender identity,” signing “a law giving states the option to deny funding for Planned Parenthood and other organizations that provide legal abortions,” and refusing “to hold regular press briefings; attack[ing] and threaten[ing] individual reporters and news outlets, and… tweet[ing] a video of himself beating up a CNN reporter.” Refuse Fascism doesn’t explain how such actions rise to the level of, say, genocide."
