You are a fucking idiot. 

If the Republicans had complete control, idiots like YOU would be deported too.

In the United States, the legislative process can be complex, and there are several ways that a minority party can influence or 
delay the passage of laws, even if the majority party controls both the House and Senate. Here are some ways that Democrats in 
Congress can hold up laws:

Filibuster: In the Senate, a filibuster allows a senator to delay a vote on a bill by speaking at length on the issue. Although the 
"nuclear option" was used to lower the threshold for cloture (the process to end a filibuster) to a simple majority, 60 votes are 
still often required to overcome a filibuster and proceed to a vote on a bill.

Amendments: Members of the minority party can offer amendments to a bill, which can delay its passage or change its content.

Obstructionist tactics: Senators can use various procedural tactics, such as requesting unanimous consent to delay a vote or making 
"points of order" to challenge the bill's constitutionality or relevance.

While these tactics can be used to delay or block legislation, they are not foolproof. The majority party can often find ways to 
overcome these obstacles and pass legislation. However, they can still be effective in slowing down the legislative process and 
giving the minority party a voice in the debate.

"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."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
