An earlier prediction on one effect of an Executive Order: “*IF* Trump does this and *IF* it stands up, the pivot by liberals from “stop breaking up families” to “STOP HOLDING FAMILIES” will be made with breathtaking dispatch.”

Obviously, this is not just Fake News but an assault on our President that crosses the line to treason.

Just an example of how far the Left will go.

Bad move.
Caving to the Ministry of Propaganda will gain him nothing.

Good!

Contrary to what they believe, the Memory Hole does not exist yet.

That’s fine. Eventually these people will either support a comprehensive immigration bill or they won’t.

I think he almost has to. I don't like it, Presidents aren't kings, they cant ignore the law and the courts when it suits them (okay, democrat presidents do it all the time but that doesn't make it right). But he has two options other than this: Wait for a bill from congress and either sign it (and you can bet it will be full of extras like amnesty for all which will lose him his base, the midterms, and his own 2020 chances) or veto it (and you can bet he will be called the Hitler that enslaves poor brown kids even though congress tried to save them). Either way he loses.

But Trump is a strategist and rather than concede inevitable defeat he found a third choice: write an EO to stop this, tell congress "no bill needed, I fixed it" and then wait for the courts to overturn it. Then he can say "look, I told you this was never my idea. The courts and congress were making me do this and now they are again!" It's his best option.

Rush says that somebody, maybe a leftist, will file a lawsuit because the executive order violates the law.

They are not going to let you escape, Mr. Trump.

You’re being set up.

I think he’s going to sign a time-limited order which says that Congress has to write a new law and dissolve the old one. If they fail....his order will disappear on such-and-such day, and they will have no one to blame but themselves.

Depends on what he actually does. If its reasonable to keep these "families" together and it can be done so safely, then by all means get this off the front page and put attention back on deep state corruption.

Sign something shortly
On the other channel Ryan says there will be a bill on floor Thursday.
It will solve family, DACA, border issues etc.

Right now there are two bills to keep the opposition busy. Expect the REAL bill to be presented at last moment!

So if the republicans use this “crisis” that the left created as a Trojan Horse they should be able to create a huge bill containing everything they want and have the support of the Rats too boot! Smile when you pass that partner!

Shortly could be next week after the bill is passed.

And use it as grounds for impeachment (an EO that violates existing law).

Trump surrendering to extremist left-wing democrat agitators. Disappointing.

(Kidding, kind of.)
