I don't think this will hurt Trump much. He would have to stop being very popular with Republicans and I don't see that happening. I think there will be some immigration bill with some sort of concession to Trump that will stop the policy and he'll declare victory. A few new cycles later, it'll be like nothing ever happened.
If this helps sink Trump, I don't know that it'll be readily apparent in his approval ratings. It'll happen because it galvanises his opposition to vote against him in large numbers, not because it turns his own people against him.
I'd contrast that with his efforts to ignite a trade war with roughly everyone. If that sinks the economy, I could easily see him haemorrhaging his own support, who are likely to be hurt worst (especially if China has any say in it).
Wow, apparently the Senate GOP is on board with passing something to stop the family separations. I guess the question is what they want in whatever bill.
Ahhhrg. Yesterday, got stormed out of my swim, today, pool is closed cause chemicals out of whack. And city pool isn't open weekdays yet.
I keep reminding myself that her stubbornness will likely serve her well later in life.
"Executive leadership skills" is my daily mantra.
My fear is that Trump will have done so much damage by the time something finally catches up to him that we won't ever be able to heal. My fear is this has already happened and we won't realize it until after 2020.
Jesse, some Good News for you:

I've never watched the show, but this kinda tempts me.
Ooh. I am intrigued by moving to the Netherlands. Even though I've never been there. And am not an entrepreneur. ...really I don't want to move, but maybe New Zealand? Or Canada, but Vancouver is crazy these days. Hmm.
Timelies all!
Sigh...my family has been here long enough that I don't qualify for dual citizenship. (Except Israel, which..no)
Of course, there were good reasons my ancestors left for America.(Russia, Poland, Hungary, Austria and Lithuania. So much no)
Canada is definitely on the table for us, but M wants to finish getting his citizenship here first, plus my parents are moving closer to us. But it's still in my head.
... so I stained furniture. Damnit, better not storm tomorrow.
Gina Rodriquez is so awesome. The show is good, too.
My mom recently got back in in touch via genealogy with a cousin who lived in Canada for a while and is now in Mexico and is trying to get his Italian citizenship through their mutual grandmother, so I asked my mom if that meant she could get Italian citizenship. She isn't interested. Alas. The closest I'll probably get is my grandfather pointing to part of a map on a paper restaurant place mat and saying "that's where our family is from".
