3. Bank on it. He's reversing Democratic Party policy. That'll be the narrative.

12. And OUR narrative will be "then why didn't you do this months ago?"

Why did you say you needed the Democrats to stop the child separation policy? Why did Sessions contradict you?

Because you BLINKED after you realized that your inhumane policy was making you "look bad"

Because it's all you care about.

"You had the power all along"

Including yesterday and the day before when you and your minions were out there defending the policy that you decided to implement.

13. He will try. But only his loyal 30% will swallow it.

GOP legislators will want to put this behind them ASAP. We need to make a list of everyone that ever supported the change in policy, or the countless changing excuses that followed as to why Trump was so powerless to do anything to stop it. They all knew it was a lie. The country deserves at least an apology and I would prefer some resignations or loss of seats in future elections.

Asshole, stumble-bum will pull out some other stupid, hateful, jackass, bullshit. And we won't have to wait very long for it either.

I'd like to point out a few lessons learned from this latest kiddee kidnapping fiasco.

1. We are not powerless. Our combined outrage forced him to backdown. Let that sink in.

2. The news media has become less shy about calling him a liar. Far less pussy-footing around with polite terms, like "not accurate," "not factual."

3. So many comparisons to Nazis and Fascism, rather than the more polite "authoritarian."
