POST NO. 16,000
Seems there are a number of conservatives, in the Senate (like Mitch McConnell), in the GOP, in right winged media outlets, and their usual lot of online shills, supporters, propagandists, and trolls, who've been celebrating the number of judicial appointments Trump has managed during his three year assault upon the rule of law.
At first glance, their jubilation may appear to be based upon the further entrenching of the political ideology to which they subscribe to. A victory of conservatism over liberalism. That is, until one takes a closer look at the commonalities of Trump's appointments and the (legal) results and ramifications of said appointments.
Until one considers WHO is doing the cheering, and that which they, and their online cheerleaders have ALREADY supported, defended, and dismissed ... ESPECIALLY when the latter chortle over things like Trump and Miller's hate based immigration policy ("making a list and checking it twice") that snatches families seeking a better chance at LIFE, apart, that jails children with no plan in place for reuniting families, that houses them in concentration camp conditions, and then throws them back into worse situations than what they sought to escape from.
The whole of which suggests a more odiously heinous cause for their glee.
Because, what THEY, in fact, are celebrating is Donald Trump's quite apparent ASSAULT UPON CIVIL RIGHTS.
Because while Trump and Co. have been hard at work trying to get people to look the other way, and busy trying to stoke further lies and discord at his rallies of HATE, with one or two well placed minorities directly within the camera shot ("Look at my African American over here"), Trump has been steadily working to rollback and undercut the CIVIL RIGHTS of many minorities, via the appointment of retrogressive, ultra conservative judges, some of whom were deemed unqualified, and MOST of whom already had a dismal record on minority rights:
