So transgender in the military can't happen due to costs. But the USA spend a lot of money on weapons elsewhere.

The Daily show touched on this subject last night and had a great interview with two retired transgender US Army veterans (one that was the first to receive France's highest military honour since WW2). They've put this interview up on YouTube as it's an eye-opener!

Apparently the decision comes because Trump is trying to find funding for his fecking wall believe it or not :confused:

The figures they gave were that the largest saving on Transgender medical costs alone is an estimated $8.4m per annum (this is 0.001% of the total projected US military spend).

Meanwhile costs for the Trump family spending time at his New York City and Palm Beach resorts (money that goes to companies in his name) is this year $60m alone.

Go figure!

Scarmuuci's financial disclosure documents were "leaked", he tweeted a pissy response and declared he's going to get the FBI and NSA on it and rat out the illegal leakers and then weirdly hash tagged Preibus seemingly calling him out for it.

It was since revealed to him that the document could easily have been obtained as a freedom of information request after 30 days of it being submitted which would have been on 23rd July... the day it was released. He had no further comment.


The funny (also scary) thing about this Administration is the emotional response they always give. React now by running your mouth off and pick up the pieces later.

Thanks. Makes it clear.

Spot on! The problem is that in today's society lazy people that can't be bothered to fact-check believe what they read/what they are told in the media (the media that they choose to read that reinforces the message that warms them btw).

Trump is really clever often getting ahead of the game, ironically screaming "fake news" while he does so!

As an aside: It's quite crazy that two of the world's leaders are choosing this moment of global connectivity to isolate themselves when most others are realising that unity is the logical way forward.

What i understand is that he is just trying to destroy what Obama did. He has no plan for the USA.
 


I... erm...... yeah. :(



More bullying, more pressure and most importantly, more passing of the buck and trying to ensure it won't come back on him.
 


So the dumbass is off to a great start, carrying off where Sean "Hitler never used chemical weapons" Spicer left off. I'm sure this is what Trump wanted to avoid and try to put behind him when getting rid of Spicer and hiring Mooch. This is what happens when you just put rich idiots with absolutely no political experience in charge. It also doesn't help that many of them are really, REALLY dumb.
 
If Trump is angered by the leaks, then he needs to start warning his own family members (Ivanka & Jared) as i suspect they're the most prolific leakers in this WH.

Ivanka & Jared may seem kind and nice, but those 2 will turn out to be the most conniving employees of this WH.
 


So...what happens to Cain and Abel in the Good Book -
Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him"

Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”

“I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

People in Alaska must be thrilled. He's threatening to feck up their economy if their Senator doesn't vote to take away their health insurance.
 
Browder's prepared remarks. What a story...

That all changed in July 2003, when Putin arrested Russia’s biggest oligarch and richest man, Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Putin grabbed Khodorkovsky off his private jet, took him back to Moscow, put him on trial, and allowed television cameras to film Khodorkovsky sitting in a cage right in the middle of the courtroom. That image was extremely powerful, because none of the other oligarchs wanted to be in the same position. After Khodorkovsky’s conviction, the other oligarchs went to Putin and asked him what they needed to do to avoid sitting in the same cage as Khodorkovsky. From what followed, it appeared that Putin’s answer was, “Fifty percent.” He wasn’t saying 50 percent for the Russian government or the presidential administration of Russia, but 50 percent for Vladimir Putin personally. From that moment on, Putin became the biggest oligarch in Russia and the richest man in the world, and my anti-corruption activities would no longer be tolerated.

I really liked the comedy relief that was Sean Spicer. But the sheer Honesty that comes from The Mooch is well worth Spicer leaving :lol:
 
Joint Chiefs to Trump: GTFO

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/...-military-ban-no-modification-241029?cmpid=sf

There will be “no modifications” to the military’s transgender policy as a result of President Donald Trump’s tweets, the chairman of the joint chiefs said in a message to top military officers on Thursday.

Marine Gen. Joe Dunford wrote in the message to the chiefs of the services and senior enlisted leaders that the military will continue to “treat all of our personnel with respect.”

I genuinely think that's why a lot of Americans...well, Republican Christian nutjob Trump supporters hate Obama so much.

He just got on with things in the eyes of many, tried to do the right thing for the most part (drone bombings aside) and was a well mannered, reserved and intelligent guy. Completely at odds with BOOM BOOM BANG BANG LOOK AT OUR feckING EAGLES THEY'RE BETTER THAN YOURS AMERICA feck YEAH!
