I meant to say why was Indonesia not on the ban list.

Not really. Pre-COVID, Trump banned some Muslims because it would make his Neanderthals happy. Whoever he banned during COVID (just Chinese? I don't recall), he surely did for no other than similar reasons. Certainly nothing to do with public health.
Biden, being kind of an adult and reasonably moral human being, is not appealing to a base that dislikes South Africans or, generally, speaking black people.
Apple and orange.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Trump didn't ban Muslims. He banned people from those countries which are hotbeds of terrorists. If Trump actually had banned Muslims, why was Indonesia on the ban list because Indonesia has more Muslims than any other country??!
Trump's intention was to ban Muslims. He told us so.

Well he did a crappy job of that.
Here are the countries with the most Muslims:
Indonesia - 231,000,000
Pakistan - 212,300,000
India - 200,000,000
Bangladesh - 153,700,000
Nigeria - 95,000,000–103,000,000
Egypt - 85,000,000–90,000,000
Iran - 82,500,000
Turkey - 74,432,725
Algeria - 41,240,913
Sudan - 39,585,777
Here are the countries on the travel ban by Trump:
(a) Chad.
(i) The government of Chad is an important and valuable counterterrorism partner of the United States, and the United States Government looks forward to expanding that cooperation, including in the areas of immigration and border management. Chad has shown a clear willingness to improve in these areas. Nonetheless, Chad does not adequately share public-safety and terrorism-related information and fails to satisfy at least one key risk criterion. Additionally, several terrorist groups are active within Chad or in the surrounding region, including elements of Boko Haram, ISIS-West Africa, and al-Qa'ida in the Islamic Maghreb. At this time, additional information sharing to identify those foreign nationals applying for visas or seeking entry into the United States who represent national security and public-safety threats is necessary given the significant terrorism-related risk from this country.
(ii) The entry into the United States of nationals of Chad, as immigrants, and as nonimmigrants on business (B-1), tourist (B-2), and business/tourist (B-1/B-2) visas, is hereby suspended.
[NAFSA note: A Presidential Proclamation of April 10, 2018 removed Chad from the list of countries subject to Travel Ban 3.0, after a March 20, 2018 report from the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of the Department of State, concluded "that Chad has made marked improvements in its identity-management and information-sharing practices." Chad is no longer subject to Travel Ban 3.0 effective April 10, 2018.]
(b) Iran.
(i) Iran regularly fails to cooperate with the United States Government in identifying security risks, fails to satisfy at least one key risk criterion, is the source of significant terrorist threats, and fails to receive its nationals subject to final orders of removal from the United States. The Department of State has also designated Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism.
(ii) The entry into the United States of nationals of Iran as immigrants and as nonimmigrants is hereby suspended, except that entry by such nationals under valid student (F and M) and exchange visitor (J) visas is not suspended, although such individuals should be subject to enhanced screening and vetting requirements.
(c) Libya.
(i) The government of Libya is an important and valuable counterterrorism partner of the United States, and the United States Government looks forward to expanding on that cooperation, including in the areas of immigration and border management. Libya, nonetheless, faces significant challenges in sharing several types of information, including public-safety and terrorism-related information necessary for the protection of the national security and public safety of the United States. Libya also has significant inadequacies in its identity-management protocols. Further, Libya fails to satisfy at least one key risk criterion and has been assessed to be not fully cooperative with respect to receiving its nationals subject to final orders of removal from the United States. The substantial terrorist presence within Libya's territory amplifies the risks posed by the entry into the United States of its nationals.
(ii) The entry into the United States of nationals of Libya, as immigrants, and as nonimmigrants on business (B-1), tourist (B-2), and business/tourist (B-1/B-2) visas, is hereby suspended.
(d) North Korea.
(i) North Korea does not cooperate with the United States Government in any respect and fails to satisfy all information-sharing requirements.
(ii) The entry into the United States of nationals of North Korea as immigrants and nonimmigrants is hereby suspended.
(e) Syria.
(i) Syria regularly fails to cooperate with the United States Government in identifying security risks, is the source of significant terrorist threats, and has been designated by the Department of State as a state sponsor of terrorism. Syria has significant inadequacies in identity-management protocols, fails to share public-safety and terrorism information, and fails to satisfy at least one key risk criterion.
(ii) The entry into the United States of nationals of Syria as immigrants and nonimmigrants is hereby suspended.
(f) Venezuela.
(i) Venezuela has adopted many of the baseline standards identified by the Secretary of Homeland Security and in section 1 of this proclamation, but its government is uncooperative in verifying whether its citizens pose national security or public-safety threats. Venezuela's government fails to share public-safety and terrorism-related information adequately, fails to satisfy at least one key risk criterion, and has been assessed to be not fully cooperative with respect to receiving its nationals subject to final orders of removal from the United States. There are, however, alternative sources for obtaining information to verify the citizenship and identity of nationals from Venezuela. As a result, the restrictions imposed by this proclamation focus on government officials of Venezuela who are responsible for the identified inadequacies.
(ii) Notwithstanding section 3(b)(v) of this proclamation, the entry into the United States of officials of government agencies of Venezuela involved in screening and vetting procedures -- including the Ministry of the Popular Power for Interior, Justice and Peace; the Administrative Service of Identification, Migration and Immigration; the Scientific, Penal and Criminal Investigation Service Corps; the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service; and the Ministry of the Popular Power for Foreign Relations -- and their immediate family members, as nonimmigrants on business (B-1), tourist (B-2), and business/tourist (B-1/B-2) visas, is hereby suspended. Further, nationals of Venezuela who are visa holders should be subject to appropriate additional measures to ensure traveler information remains current.
(g) Yemen.
(i) The government of Yemen is an important and valuable counterterrorism partner, and the United States Government looks forward to expanding that cooperation, including in the areas of immigration and border management. Yemen, nonetheless, faces significant identity-management challenges, which are amplified by the notable terrorist presence within its territory. The government of Yemen fails to satisfy critical identity-management requirements, does not share public-safety and terrorism-related information adequately, and fails to satisfy at least one key risk criterion.
(ii) The entry into the United States of nationals of Yemen as immigrants, and as nonimmigrants on business (B-1), tourist (B-2), and business/tourist (B-1/B-2) visas, is hereby suspended.
(h) Somalia.

Just a reminder that the Lincoln Project’s Steve Schmidt was involved in covering up the sexual predatory behavior of his dear friend and founding partner, John Weaver.

US Senator is a very difficult, high stress job. And they only make 174K per year. I wouldn't want that job.

As far as once being a POTUS, he had a whole lot of dumb-fvck marks like you to count on. So, you should probably give credit where it is due - to the dumb fvcks of this country. Take a bow!
Actually, Trump is not a multi-millionaire. He is a multi-BILLIONAIRE.
Read the post I was responding to, dumb fvck. Here, I made it easier for you by bolding the relevant text.

lol they make a ton more than $174k/yr through selling their votes to the highest bidder . Explain how Nancy Pelosi is worth over $100 million? Elizabeth Warren worth over $20 million? Etc.

Reminds me of agip's comment when the Trump presidency was just starting out. Something about Trump's saving grace being his profound level of incompetence so that he wouldn't be capable of accomplishing too much evil.

The quality of trolling in a post-Trump world has absolutely cratered. They literally don't even try anymore. Kind of same because it sort of used to be fun. Now it's like the absolute bottom of the barrel quality trolls trying to make a name for themselves

How can you of all people talk about anyone living rent free in someone’s head?
You spend all day, every day obsessing about the current President. Oh the irony.

Pelosi has inherited family wealth. Also, her husband has been a very successful investor.
Warren didn't run for senate until she was 63 years old. She and her husband made their money before that.
Concerning Biden, he was often referred to as the poorest senator in congress.

Yes, his presidency could have been a LOT worse if he was intelligent and competent. And he would still be in power.
Trump is so inept that he even lost Georgia.

LOLz, and may I add that his FOLLOWERS are also so inept that they boycotted voting for R Senators in GA because they were butthurt from trump's loss. The loser trump is a reflection of his base.
