So basically this whole transgender ban came out of 45's complete misunderstanding of what his military leaders were *actually* talking about when they were debating medical care for trans people.

Trump says Sessions should fire McCabe, but Trump won't do it himself bc he already chose Wray to take over? That doesn't make sense.

Question: What does he mean by "disruptions?" And is POTUS concerned that there are "disruptions" in the militaries of our allies who DO allow and support transgender service personnel?
SHS: ::word salad::

How does it improve unit cohesion to leave servicemembers in the dark about their status in the military?
SHS says that this was a national security decision

Can we get the press corps to say SHS is the leaker so she'll get fired and we can get a competent press sec?

I don't know why people keep saying Huckabee Sanders is "nicer" than Spicer. I find her very hostile.

www.axios.com/hillary-clinton-ally-her-memoir-will-be-a-bombshell-2465843871.html"Hillary Clinton's new memoir, which a longtime ally of hers has described as a "bombshell", will have a lengthy passage on how Russia's interference in the 2016 election and ex-FBI Director James Comey's actions contributed to her astonishing loss, reports The Hill's Amie Parnes, citing sources familiar with the book, which is set for release in September." I have a lot of feelings. I feel all the things.

She is the worst. How can you tweet about a new policy and not know any specifics about it?!

we still have no explanation for the covfefe debacle, and that tweet was up for HOURS. The collective incompetence is actually frightening.
