This has been percolating for a bit. Sam Bee did a segment last week with Gohmert, king, and rohrbacher railing against people "using" the military to get "free" surgery.

And Ryan actually said they weren't going to revote on this so it appears Trump took it upon himself. This was CLEARLY not a decision based on military needs but 100% political. Fuck them.

Also what Congress wanted to vote on was not banning transgender people completely. It was not funding surgeries. Which still, fuck them, but this is above and beyond what they were talking about.

What happens to transgender men and women who are already serving?

This douche clearly doesn't know Stabenow, or Michiganders. We want jobs and economic growth, and could give a damn about who is serving in our military. If you serve, you deserve respect.

I'm so angry.

This is insane. He is acting like a dictator more and more every day. How does the GOP not see a problem with him?

*Rhetorical question because they are all spineless pieces of shit.

I figured this was the case. I didn't think it would come directly from the Pentagon, but I figured at least several generals would come out and say they were not consulted at all. Because honestly, folks, who actually believes he talked to anyone knowledgeable about this?

[cp3]

[pesto]

This is really fucked up.

Also fuck Ivanka.

[cp3]

So what happens for those already serving?

So when Collins was caught on the hot mic talking about that douche and she mentioned a picture of him in his pajames with a bunny...I thought she meant an actual rabbit. I didn't realize she was talking about a Playboy bunny.

Lol.

Omg, I thought she meant the Easter bunny.

I'm realizing how ridiculous this sounds now that I type it out.

I thought we could all use this giggle at the moment (apologies if it's been shared already or if it's huge, I'm on mobile at my doctor's office at the moment):

I'm so freaking sad for our service people who woke up to this today. What a slap in the face and kick in the groin to everything they've done for our country.

Yup. We should be thanking them for their service but instead they are being kicked to the curb because of their identity. It's unreal. There are no words.

I just hope one of these days someone who gets fired or forced to resigned goes out Weasley Twin style and burns it all down.

The news this morning makes me sad. And once again angry at the protest voters/non-voters. What's next? It was no secret what Trump/Pence wanted to do to peoples' rights. These men and women who serve in the military chose to do something I wasn't willing/able to do. The least I can do is fight for their rights because they were willing to fight for my freedom.

For anyone who wants to continue the rage train, Newt Gingrich gave a conspiracy theory filled interview on Morning Edition this morning re: the Russia investigation/mueller/Sessions.

It frightens me so much that people listen to that hot air balloon.

Oh man, I heard this on my way in to work today. He sounded totally unhinged. Rachel Martin was barely holding it together for a while.

I think it increased my blood pressure. When he kept telling her she was living in a fantasy world, I was like 😳

Can they do this?
Just last month the military was conducting trainings with personnel on procedure for transgender servicemen and women. Ie the rules for paperwork re name/gender, etc.
Can he just snap his fingers and do this?

Yes. Both my brother (army 1st Lt) and MH (active duty Air Force recruiter) have had training in the last few months regarding trans service members and both said it was very positive.

What the fuck. I'm raging. How the fuck can he do this

[honeylemon]

And I just saw there's a whole thread about it. I'll head there.

[honeylemon]

Oh never mind and fuck that shit. I cannot read that bullshit.

[cp3]

So much anger.

My takeaway: We should probably ban men from the military because they could potentially need Viagra. Too expensive. A distraction. What if they're sitting around talking about ED or trying to decide which of the guys around them has it while they should be concentrating on the enemy?

Edit: I can't English.

The portion of the swamp that Dump can't get rid of that gets memorialized with velvet ropes later will make my heart sing.
