Schumer, Pelosi announce deal with Trump to protect young immigrants; No wall

I'm actually quite surprised they're not supportive of this move. I thought it was a reflexive move to simply be happy about whatever Trump does because Trump is doing it.
I guess they're way more racist than they are Trump supporters.

I can hear the cognitive dissonance from here.

"He never really wanted a wall, it was just a starting point so he could make a master bargain."

T_D still sort of is, but they're focusing on how they hate Hillary. Brietbart was always only in it to get trump to pass racist stuff, which is the opposite of what he's doing now.
 
I will cry happy tears if its the DREAM Act. I will thank Trump if he does something good for once. Yes he is shitty but can make a lot of people's lives so much better. Not forgiving him for everything else he has done but I'd see this as a win for all.
You're going to thank the person who called Mexicans rapists and rescinded DACA instead of the two Democrat leaders who worked to get it done?

Neoliberal shills at it again

Neolibs support immigration. You really don't know what people are talking about when criticizing Pelosi, do you?

Business interests support immigration. It is a struggle between the conservatives and the liberal market supporters (liberal as in the real term not the botched US vers.).
 
How many dimension levels of chess is this now, dang.

This kinda thing is going to win him reelection.

"That's what I did I made deals, not just with republicans but democrats, I reached across the isle because thats what I do, I make deals, ok? For this country"

Swing states will love it and Rs will keep voting R. Dang 8 years.

74% of Republicans or something similar want Dreamers to stay in the country anyway.

This goes beyond Dreamers. It goes into the wall dividing Mexico from the US.

Nobody knows what is going on in this guys head.

Trump accidently siding on the side of good, a couple of weeks after presenting a policy that was anti Dreamer is disturbing.

Maybe the best thing about all of this is that Trump has become so unreliable that both parties are so confused that nothing gets done. And the status quo is probably better then anything Trump could pass as law.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Trump got bamboozled. Thank the people who worked him like the puppet he is.

Most Republicans don't want the isle reached across

When Trump acts half normal and gets all quiet like for a few weeks, I almost forget we have an embarrassing fuck up for a president.

I hope he keeps it up (and let's be honest, Pelosi and Schumer are the real heroes here), but I'm sure any good that comes out of this will be swept aside by some ridiculous drama or something in about a weeks time.

It's beet very quiet/normal as of late. It feels strange, at least compared with the first half year of the presidency.
 
Just because this agreement doesn't include wall funding doesn't mean Trump has dropped it from his platform. He wants to have his cake and eat it to, claiming he did what Obama couldn't by getting DACA into law while still stirring up shit at his rallies with "Build the wall" chants.

Isn't this his entire point? Neoliberal are the ones fighting for social justice here.
 
They can't get behind Bernie's plan but sure as hell they can make pacts with Trump. 🤷🏻*♂️

If this is what it takes to stop dreamers from being deported then I can take it. Sadly there's no other politician solution at the moment other than being gracious with Trump.

Frankly, I don't think it's worth the bandwidth it's tweeted on. Trump agrees with the person he talked to last and has no concept of loyalty or honesty. He'll switch position to placate whoever he's talking to.
 
Man, Pelosi and Schumer putting in Lebron and Kyrie 2016 Finals game 6 numbers recently.

But then again that is a negotiation with Donald.. which weighs nothing of value at all.
 
Trump is up:

He's making a bunch of tweets about it. On mobile so I can't post screenshots or links but he is in favor of helping us DREAMers out.

"Does anybody really want to throw out good, educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? Really!....."

This is a damn royal coaster of emotions.

Ah nice, others posted screens.
 
I love how to some commentators in America its apparently fucking shameful to deal with the 'other side.' God forbid, eh?

Trumps a bit simple, if you explain things to him like that he's instantly convinced. The issue is, surely the Republicans will just whisper in his ear about how this is actually awful and he'll go 'oh no, I never supported it.' There's a president where his actual words don't matter.

The fucked up thing is that many republicans support this, so even if he didn't give a fuck, going against this is going against and easy win from a President who has had zero wins so far. You'd be nuts to not vote for this on a pragmatic level.

But we live in the weirdest timeline so who knows what will happen.
 
It's like he feels that the Mueller Investigation is coming to a head and he is doing everything his small brain can think of to try and convince Democrats not to vote for impeachment.
