Dont be fooled by the scam that Trump will pull today on DACA...

[HipChick]

The New York Times reports that Trump privately asked his aides for a “way out” of this dilemma, and that as a result, Chief of Staff John F. Kelly came up with the idea of ending the protections in six months to give Congress time to legislate a solution. This is in response to a coalition of states who are threatening a lawsuit to overturn the Obama-era executive action — Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals — that grants them work permits and shields them from deportation.

Meanwhile, ABC News reports that Trump “doesn’t want to own” the decision to end DACA, so it will be announced today by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. All this suggests that this six-month delay is meant to distance Trump in some way or other from ending it.

But it shouldn’t have that effect. ABC’s Jon Karl has the details of what will be announced today, and here are the key points:

The administration won’t consider new applications … dated after Sept. 5.
Anyone who has a DACA permit expiring between now and March 5, 2018, can apply for a two-year renewal.
Some Dreamers, those with permits that expire between now and March 5, will be eligible for legal status for another two-plus years. For others, legal status ends as early as March 6.
What this means is that those whose DACA status is set to expire during the next six months can renew their status, which lasts two years. But that last bullet point, while cryptically worded, means that those whose status expires after the six-month cutoff cannot renew it.

4. "Meanwhile, ABC News reports that Trump doesnt want to own the decision to end DACA"

This SOB doesn't want to take ownership of ANY thong he has done.

He only wants to make sure he gets his janitors and maids for his businesses. Emoluments clause anyone?

7. Great typo in your first sentence in the message box, b/c the p---- grabber

does want to take ownership of thongs whenever he can.

8. I know, it's disgusting. That's how he's lived his whole life. Like the biggest

shithead in the world, but always making other people take the blame for the evil things that HE DOES. What a fucking coward!

5. Another divisive, bullying, toothless distraction (a-la Transgender Military Ban)

staged entirely to appease his black-hearted base. For absolutely everyone else, all this does is cause worry and distraction from the

RUSSIA CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION.

Point your stubby fingers in any direction you wish...we can still see that you're naked and impotent. Asshole.

6. He is a malignant narcissist.

The stench of this cruelty is on him.

[ecstatic]

9. He's a vile, disgusting, cowardly piece of shit. Is there any chance Congress will act?

If they can't fix this, they might as well pack up and go home.

[world wide wally]

10. I'll bet those Neo-Nazis and Klan groupies from Charlottesville are happy.

[Trust Buster]

11. I call b.s. Chump will only sign DACA legislation if funding for the wall is included.

This isn't a dodge, it's a strategy. Dems should fight this in the courts and filibuster any legislation IMO.
