      XPost: alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, alt.politics.trump, alt.politics.liberalism       XPost: alt.politics.democrats, alt.politics.usa.republican       From: katt@gmail.com              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."                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
