  • When I was in school we read Animal Farm, but instead of 1984 they had us read Brave New World. It seemed like a more accurate commentary at the time. Just everyone blissfully unaware and high on “soma” and trivial entertainment. Bread and circuses as it were. Crazy to see what a sudden turn to 1984 we’ve taken in just a few months.

    I was frankly shocked how many justices Trump was allowed to appoint. And bewildered how little pushback came from the Dems. The decisions being made now were already set in motion in Trump’s first term appointments imo, but so little was made of it then.

    I recall Obama having to compromise on his appointments, and then literally giving up his last one to Trump.

    And that’s how you get a completely compromised Judicial branch I guess.
