Reauthorizing DACA is just not enough. There has to be a legislation to give them a permanent status or at least a pathway to citizenship.

Maybe Trump finally realized he would be a lot more popular if he stopped catering to the republicans

I am glad the Democrats were able to do this, but fuck trying to frame this as a "success." Trump is still President; Trump is still an awful piece of shit; Trump is still a Russian traitor. We still need to impeach him.
Saying that anything besides removing him from office isn't success is insanely ridiculous.
All of that is true, but a maneuver that saves Dreamers without legislative concessions should be seen as a victory.

Congressional Republicans to start impeachment proceedings immediately.

That's the real fight, isn't it? You may be able to get enough Republicans to support not terrorizing these folks, but a path to citizenship? being able to vote?

Not to mention that a legislated version of DACA is permanent. The executive order, as we saw was subject to the whims of the president.
Impeach Trump when Mueller brings up charges. Until then, squeeze him for anything you know Pence wouldn't sign.
Explain how.
That Trump sprung on the GOP?

No, you don't understand, it's actually the Democrats that are doing that because of reasons.

One day people will remember Trump's sudden face turn as the greatest in American political history.
It could still happen, right?

Trumps gonna go back on this deal. Hes gonna read the coverage and hes not gonna give a fuck that hes putting people in jeopardy.
The debt limit deal might pass as early as tomorrow.
Then Democrats hold all the cards.
He'd look even worse for going back on the deal.

I think this is their reaction? I honestly have no idea what any of this even means....? Or I guess they mean in general "today" ? I have no idea what anything on their sub means.
Sorry if I'm not allowed to link to t_d. Will remove if not allowed.
because he's a fucking idiot who looks about 20 minutes into the future before any comment or decision he makes as President.
I don't know but I know I don't trust Trump.
More like 20 seconds.
Do you trust him to fuck up and not think things through?

I am confused dems getting a W?
You don't have to trust Trump to understand that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer know what they are doing and he doesn't.

He just wanted the instant gratifcation of humilliating Ryan and Turtle in front of dems. That's all there is to his strategy.
Yeah the Democrats have a strong track record of competency and not having things blow up in their faces.
The Dems core competency tends to be competency. If this were an election strategy I'd be worried, but it's legislative wrangling, which they tend to be good at, so I'm not.
I know this is a sarcastic post. But yes, Pelosi and Schumer are clearly very competent politicians. Especially compared to Donald Trump.

Pres. Trump ascended to the mountain top in politics by telling people what they want to hear. If I were the Democrats, then I wouldn't celebrate until things are final with respect to the debt ceiling and DACA. Trump has been a Democrat off and on in the past. But he's also been a Republican...so he's not anchored down too much in terms of what either side wants out of him.
Trump isn't a politician on the most basic level. He has no mental capacity to scheme.
Edit: I'm not saying he won't go back on it, but he's not a strategist and that's the reason he'd done everything he has. No foresight or even the ability to appreciate the basic concept of optics/"good politics". Trump has habitually done things that are actually quite bad for him as Presudent. There's not a big difference here, really.
Even if he changes his mind this doesn't hurt Democrats since they gave him nothing.

I love that the Republicans are fucking shocked that electing an ignorant capricious old man as president could backfire
