1. "Unclear if Trump will sign it."

More likely he'll fire Nielsen.

[TheBlackAdder]

18. Trump might sign it, saying he's reversing Democrat laws, and try to be the hero.

.

We all know laws don't work that way, but rubes and FOX Soviet State Media viewers are fucking ignorant.

2. This is her way out, he won't sign, she would have to resign.

[Corgigal]

3. Must love that Mexican restaurant

Or in fear of her life.

Pick one.

[Garrett78]

4. Perhaps her restaurant experience was enlightening.

[FSogol]

6. She should get that treatment wherever she goes. n/t

5. Didn't Nazi Barbie claim they were all crisis actors yesterday?

11. Ann Couler is the female mirror image of Corey L.

7. What will they do to reunite families? How about refugees?

Will they recognize requests for refugee status or continue to arrest those people as criminals?

8. Fucking ReThugs are feeling the heat and they're freaking out. Polling is CATASTROPHIC for them.

This issue has real legs. This is blowing up in their faces.

News show hosts are breaking down and openly crying on the air.

Will BLOTUS back down? He NEVER has in his life, so why would he now? He said yesterday that this is making him look strong!

[Freethinker65]

9. Wait. How is this possible? Trump said only congress could change the bad bad law he must abide by.

It was Obama's fault. It was the Democrat's that want open borders and violent criminal Hispanic rapists to harm our citizens. It was Laura Bush's husband's fault. There was no change in policy.

Nielsen said it was not even happening and Miller said it was a policy change that was needed to show strength.

I am sooooo confused. Not.

Trump fucked up big time. He is a weak ignorant clueless ineffectual leader that is destroying America and American ideals with the help of a feckless GOP controlled legislature. I am actually surprised he backed down...he did not give a damn about the children and infants, his own image and pocketbook (the only two things he cares about) must have taken a massive hit. Fuck him.

10. Are you kidding me???? She flipped on her position? Amazing!!!

I wonder why? Just because of people yelling at her? Or she saw the press conference she gave? Or her family "spoke" to her? Or she has found out some details of what a nightmare is happening to the kids? Or she sees where this is going, so she wants to preserve her reputation?

Don't tell me she's suddenly gotten a conscience. Not this kind of person. Anyone who would even think about this being a good policy is not the kind of person who would change her mind later.

12. She had a bad dinner.....

[Honeycombe8]

19. :) nt

13. The GOP is "drafting legislation to keep families together" plus a few other demands...

So she'll be told to shut her mouth if she doesn't want it slapped, and let this play out like he wants it to.

[NY_20th]

14. They are doubling down on the lie that they are

just following the law.

[ehrnst]

16. Yep. Which is why Dems need to keep up the demand that it be handled at the policy level.(nt)

[Skraxx]

15. We Got Them to BLINK on This, WE WILL WIN!!!

The fascists will not win this time. We are legion.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

17. Wait, Didn't She JUST CLAIM She Was Helpless To Do ANYTHING Other Than Follow The Law?

That's been the Republican talking point throughout this: that this was a law passed by Democrats (it's not), and the ONLY way to stop it would be to change the law (it's not), which would require Democrats in Congress to work with the majority (still don't understand this tortured logic), and until they do that, nothing could be done.

20. Guess getting shamed at . . .

that DC Mexican restaurant had an effect on Nielsen.

All these morally bankrupt individuals should have an up close and personal Marie Antoinette moment.
