Trump's wonderfully terrible decision on DACA...

He announces that he's ending it in 6 months and throws the issue to Congress just as the 2018 election season is in full swing. Congress, which can't organize enough votes to take a collective piss, will never be able to enact legislation in 6 months and, if Congress manages to amass the votes to abolish DACA, implementation will be a nightmare reminiscent of Hitler's deportation of the Jews. If Congress enacts legislation to save DACA, Trump will have to veto it and Congress will have to override his veto. Any legislation that Congress passes will be challenged in court by the right and the issue of DACA will fester right into the 2020 election season.

Meanwhile, Canada, whose population is aging, will open its borders to these young, educated, english speaking DACA kids...a win for Canada and a loss for US.

I am also betting that deep in the rotting hearts of Trump's advisors like Bannon, Miller and Sessions is the hope that when and if DACA kids are deported, their families will follow.

Just my random thoughts...

My dear Donald, you are in this for the long haul. You will not be able to

declare victory and go on to the next thing. You have spent your whole life playing with shiney objects and dropping them when they get too hard to play with. The victims of Harvey are not going away. They will be with you for the duration of your lPresidency. These people, many of whom voted for you, have no money, no savings, no homes and no jobs. OK, Mr. Fix It, we are all watching you. Oh, and tell your wife that she should buy a pair of shit kickers...She is going to need them.
