First let me say I agree with the angry citizen. I don’t care if you are black white gay straight transgender or whatever, if you are willing to go take a bullet to protect me and the country, I have no problems with you. You could walk around all day naked if you want, I just don’t care. But like DJ said here is the real problem. Some Repubs went to Trump and asked him to change the rule about how much the pentagon had to pay for transgender surgery. He saw that as a chance to make people stop talking about Russia so he took it and ray away with it. And like Truth said look at all the newspaper front covers are about this and not about Russia. See he’s a sneaky one so you have to keep both eyes open. He creates a diversion so we are all looking one way while he does something else another way. It’s a old trick. Don’t let this fool play you.

TAC Reader:
Let’s recap what’s happened in the few hours since Trump tweeted about the ban:

– Democrats are uniformly opposed
– Moderate Republicans are opposed
– Even some conservative Republican senators are opposed
– The rest of the Republicans are silent.
– The Hartzler Amendment denying transgender troops medical treatment was voluntarily WITHDRAWN
and never brought up for a vote.
– Most of the major newspapers are carrying front-page interviews or full first-person editorials by transgender veterans. (Go read some of them – you’ll understand why this is huge.)

Somewhere, I am very sure the LGBT activists are breaking out the champagne. […]

Re: the right-wing lawmakers who lobbied Trump to stop “the Pentagon from having to pay for medical costs associated with gender confirmation

The military spends five times as much on Viagra as it would on transgender troops’ medical care.

The Rand study estimated that these (transgender treatments would cost the military between $2.4 million and $8.4 million annually.

By contrast, total military spending on erectile dysfunction medicines amounts to $84 million annually, according to an analysis by the Military Times

The military spends $41.6 million annually on Viagra alone, according to the Military Times analysis. [….]

There’s just no end to the absurd buffoonery related to this farce of a presidency is there?…smh.

When this story broke yesterday, I immediately thought to myself – a 5-times draft dodging mental-midget wants to ban those who want to serve Our country from serving!?!

You can’t make this stuff up. You really can’t.
