can't wait to see how that

In reply to I think you're analysis is

can't wait to see how that whole cabal deals with Trump du jour as one of the few sure things they all seemed to agree for years is that Pelosi is the devil incarnate. I haven't checked yet, took along enough to read the flood of non-punditry on it first! And they will probably need the night to come up with new talking points. Tomorrow will we see. But Trump could be a different person again by then as well? These are trying times for Coulter-Limbaugh-Hannity-et.al., just when they thought it was going to get easier to produce the same dreck day in, day out...

Wish I could have been in his head for this one. All these months of carefully "not criticizing the current president" and then he's like, "Fuck it. Can't be silent any more." I hope it's a sign of a more activist Obama to come.

I think your analysis is sound but it depends on the story Breitbart, Limbaugh, and the other far rights pundits have to say. He can't just talk to his base with twitter. The far right conservative media talks to that same base as well for hours a day. Ingraham and Coulter were turning on him. It's possible the DACA decision will help to keep them on his side.

Here is President Barack

Here is President Barack Obama's reasoned response to the evil perpetrated by the orange monstrosity in the White House.

This is one of the many reasons I'm not really excited about impeachment. Primarily, I just don't think it'll work. But if it did, his supporters would just claim that the deep state liberal elite is conspiring to undo their election victory and that will drive them even further over the deep end.

In reply to Josh has a sound take that

yes, Josh has put it precisely to avoid blame for a bad outcome. And I go further, I think he is doing this with everything now. He cares more and more only about his base every day. He plans to take them with him when he leaves, whenever that is. This is not a Perot type of deal, trying to grow a party. This is ratings, fans, a devoted audience who cherishes his persona.

When he didn't get the approval he truly expected from the MSM in Jan./Feb., and as the attacks grew in manner and number, he made a decision that he's sticking with his fans, niot the whole country, and he will always have the kind of job he likes with them until he dies. He wants to be able to say he tried and have them believe it--when he never really wanted to try at all, he wanted to just dictate to minions to do it and then found out these thing can't be done that way-- so he's decided to blame Congress and the swamp.

I think most of the current Congress realizes this too. The only problem is that more than a handful of them has a large number of true blue Trump fans in their district, so they can't be labeled as anti-Trump and get re-elected.

Does everyone realize what this means? Even if we manage to kick him out of the presidency, he and his fans aren't going anywhere, they are still going to be a big part of the politics of this country. There's no getting rid of him. Even if you send him to prison--then he's a martyr.

Edit to add: I am pretty sure that not only will there be no wall, there will be no blackmailing involved with any wall. Harvey took care of that. He's going to have to just make all of Congress the enemy.

I wonder how much of DACA he leaves to Sessions, who would seemingly have no problem deporting every one of them.

His word is worth less than a Trump U diploma.

Did you see Martin Longmans Playtime is over for the GOP:

All along, they've been operating in an alternative universe, but none of these plans could succeed. And it was very easy to see that they could not succeed and that a time would come when it would all come crashing down on them.

By the end of the month, they will either separate from the far right or the country will cease to function at all.......

It's all destroying the fabric of our country, but it's been working at the ballot box.

Playtime is finally over. And now we get to pay for their mistakes.

In reply to P.S. The Sessions referral

Josh has a sound take that Trump does not think DACA will be fixed, he is being a coward and feeding his base:

What Trump is actually doing is designed not to get a good outcome but rather to avoid blame for a bad outcome. That’s a major difference. Indeed, the way he’s going about it makes getting a legislative fix much harder.
