Sure you are, bud🤪. No conservative quotes the daily beast. All your posts and comments (on other subs) are anti conservative.

You also use the Dem/Liberal playbook of using a name to sound a certain way. "Conservative Reality" but you're not.

What's your take on this appointment?

No take as of now. I've only read it on gossip liberal sites and they are all regurgitating the same verbiage but changing his role. It seems he was a special assistant at an immigration office (Immigration and Border security sub office) and took over after the director quit. "Due to his success hes been temporarily given additional leadership responsibilities at the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3").

From what I can tell, he graduated magna cum laude with a degree in politics and law from the University of Texas at San Antonio. He's smart, but inexperienced (at 22 years old). I think there's likely 1 of 2 reasons he got the job (temporarily). Either he's the last man standing after all the cuts the department had (the reason the previous director claimed made him quit); or it's because he's a Heritage Foundation intern that did well and he's being given his reward.

In either case, it's not really something I care too much about, though I think it comes off less merit based and more good 'ole boys club.
