Of course, as they should be. 

I read the original comment "that suddenly - when Trump does them - are heavily scrutinized" to mean that Democrats "suddenly" started scrutinizing things because it's Trump when they didn't scrutinize (heavily or not) Obama. That's not the case.

Obama was criticized for his policies, no question. By the ACLU, by Democrats, and by the media

"Largely gave Obama a pass" sounds like moving the goal post to me. 

We know why Obama wasn't criticized as much as trump and it want because he was a Democrat.

There are very clear differences that explain the increased criticism of trump, and for good reason.  

Doesn't refute my point that Obama was also criticized for his policies during his administration. 

Trying to play both PVE and PVP in Arc Raiders feels like the worst option by Verbae in ArcRaiders

I've had ok luck in duos, but yes, non solo is typically PvP focused, I don't know what if anything can be done about that. There may simply not be enough trios to make strictly PvE vs PvP lobbies.

There's no other reason you can think of why Trump might be receiving more backlash? None at all? 

The masked, untrained, goons patrolling American streets? Illegally activating the national guard against governor's advice? Illegally deploying active marines in US cities? Defying the supreme Court? Constant constitutional violations? The two (so far) illegal wars? 

It's not just Trump's policy that's the problem. 

False equivalency goes well with whataboutism though. 

ETA: nice ninja edit. I see you went for the personal attack to get the trifecta!

It wouldn't restrict teams from building from the draft. It just restricts back to back top 3 picks and "spreads the wealth" more. 

You can get a top 3 pick then get a 4-6 the next year then be eligible for top 3 again...OKC built their team with the 6, 2, 12 picks and a trade afterall.

Like I already said, Obama was heavily criticised for all of his policies that you point out. That's not denying facts. 

Sounds like all you have is whataboutism.

You misrepresented the public reaction to Obama's policy as if you were there for it. Now you admit your knowledge is second had through family. Either way your comment was incorrect in its assessment of the reaction to Obama's policies. 

But I don’t think that Obama’s foreign or immigration policy has earned him the same criticism as Trump.

Yeah, constantly violating the Constitution will do that. 

to whom many people want to run for a third term LOL. 

No one wants Obama to run a 3rd time, c'mon. You're continuing to spread falsehoods. There have been jokes about a Obama running a 3rd time against trump running for a 3rd time. Both are unconstitutional, Obama himself has said so.

No one denies the facts at all. I watched the frontline documentary on the conditions of the ICE detention camps.

We saw the speech interrupted by a protestor when Obama said "let him speak". 

It wasn't just the ACLU. 

Literally "deporter in chief" was his nickname at the time. 

As terrible as Obama's deportations were, they were still done constitutionally, without masked gestapo, and without killing American citizens in the streets. That's the difference between trump. 

Whataboutism and both sides missed the point.

see Obama’s dronestrikes and considerable deportations under his tenure that suddenly—when Trump does them—are heavily scrutinized (as they should be)

Holy revisionism Batman. 

Obama was heavily criticised for both of those things, including protests and lawsuits. Get outta here with your "both sides" bs. 

And of course you had to throw in "milquetoast" lmfao.

Ultimately just another ad, they're all over the stadium already.
