   Speaking of bitch hypocrites...   
      
   Just a TINY sample:   
      
   =====   
      
   Travel Bans: During his presidency, Donald Trump issued a travel ban targeting   
   predominantly Muslim countries. SIMILARLY, in 2020, PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN ISSUED   
   A TRAVEL BAN ON TRAVELERS from certain countries, citing concerns over COVID-   
   19 variants.   
      
   =====   
      
   Border Wall: Trump advocated for and built a border wall along the US-Mexico   
   border. In 2006, President George W. Bush, a Republican, signed a bill that   
   included funding for a border fence. However, Democrats at the time criticized   
   the idea.   
      
   Someone forgot to tell these Democrats about Barrack Hussein Obama, Hillary   
   Clinton and Joe Biden   
      
   https://youtu.be/v6denkE_Cxk   
      
   Obama FOR border security:   
   "The bill (border reform) before us will certainly do some good. It will   
   authorize some badly needed funding for better fences and better security   
   along our borders."   
      
   Obama AGAINST border security:   
   The fence is now basically complete. Maybe they'll need a moat. Maybe they   
   want alligators in the moat.   
      
   Hillary Clinton FOR border security:   
   Secure our borders with technology, personnel, physical barriers if necessary   
   in some places.   
      
   Hillary Clinton AGAINST border security:   
   We will not build a wall. Instead we will build an economy where everyone who   
   wants a good job can get one.   
      
   Joe Biden FOR border security:   
   I voted for a fence. I voted unlike most Democrats, and some of you won't like   
   it. I voted for 700 mile fence. Let me tell you something, folks. People are   
   driving across that border with tons... tons, hear me... tons of everything   
   from byproducts from methamphetamine to cocaine to heroin. It's all coming up   
   through Mexico.   
      
   Biden AGAINST border security:   
   And the impulse is to hunker down, shut the gates, build walls, exit at this   
   moment, is precisely the wrong answer.   
      
   Journalist:   
   Former presidents have said to him that they wish that they had built a wall.   
   Do you recall President Obama ever saying that?   
      
   Come on.   
      
   Chuck Schumer FOR border security:   
   Construction of a 630 mile border fence. Create a significant barrier to   
   illegal immigration on our southern land border.   
      
   Chuck Schumer AGAINST border security:   
   All along, the president saying, Well, I'll do DACA and Dreamers in return for   
   the wall. He's got it. President Trump, if you want to open the government,   
   you must abandon the wall.   
      
   =====   
      
   Drones for Surveillance and Strikes: Trump used drones for surveillance and   
   targeted strikes. President Barack Obama, a Democrat, also used drones for   
   these purposes during his presidency.   
      
   NSA Surveillance: Trump was criticized for his administration's surveillance   
   practices, particularly the Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence   
   Surveillance Act (FISA) renewals.   
      
   However, IT WAS UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA that the NSA bulk collection program was   
   started.   
      
   Executive Orders: Trump issued numerous executive orders. President Obama also   
   issued many executive orders during his presidency.   
      
   Tariffs: Trump imposed tariffs on various countries, citing trade concerns.   
   President Obama also imposed tariffs on countries.   
      
   These examples illustrate instances where actions taken by Trump were also   
   taken by Democrats, but received different reactions.   
      
   =====   
      
   Here are some examples of actions taken by Democrats that they previously   
   criticized Republicans for:   
      
   NSA Surveillance: Democrats, including President Obama, were criticized for   
   their administration's surveillance practices, particularly the Section 702 of   
   the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) renewals and the bulk   
   collection program. However, in the early 2000s, many Democrats, including   
   then-Senator Obama, criticized the Bush administration's surveillance   
   practices.   
      
   Guantánamo Bay Detention Center: President Obama faced criticism for his   
   failure to close the detention center at Guantánamo Bay, a promise he made   
   during his 2008 campaign. However, in 2002, many Democrats, including then-   
   Senator Obama, supported the initial establishment of the detention center.   
      
   Drone Strikes: The Obama administration used drones for targeted strikes,   
   which some criticized as extra-judicial killings. However, in 2010, then-   
   Senator Obama and other Democrats criticized the Bush administration's use of   
   drone strikes.   
      
   Immigration Enforcement: The Obama administration faced criticism for its   
   immigration enforcement policies, including deportations and border security.   
   However, in the 1990s and early 2000s, many Democrats, including then-Senator   
   Obama, supported stricter immigration enforcement.   
      
   Military Interventions: The Obama administration engaged in military   
   interventions in countries such as Libya and Syria. However, in the lead-up to   
   the Iraq War in 2003, many Democrats, including then-Senator Obama, criticized   
   the Bush administration's plans for military intervention.   
      
   Budget and Spending: The Obama administration faced criticism for its handling   
   of the federal budget and spending. However, in the 1990s and early 2000s,   
   many Democrats, including then-Senator Obama, criticized Republican   
   administrations for their handling of the budget and spending.   
      
   These examples illustrate instances where Democrats took actions or maintained   
   policies that they previously criticized Republicans for.

   "Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition   
      
   All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.   
      
   "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has   
   been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the   
   point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."   
      
   Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the   
   Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or   
   stages:   
      
   "In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The   
   president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were   
   all it took to change the world."   
      
   "The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's   
   vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of   
   hyperbole."
