Someone so attuned as yourself to political hypocrisy and policy fecklessness would ordinarily be bothered by this, but, as we were just discussing, hypocrisy only seems to bother you when it comes from Democrats.

Don’t be a twit. The Democrats did jack shit on immigration until politically forced to do so at the last second. Then in a politics-for-politics move, Trump fucked up their ability to have it both ways (to argue they did something based on a last second move while also having done nothing for three years).
The hypocrisy here was all around. Your party acted perfectly Trumpian on this issue and it got jammed up its ass by Trump. Deservedly.
Is this “both sides-ism”? Yeah. You know what else? Irrefutable facts.
