I can quite imagine the Trumpsters using this to claim that lazy ill people only need half as much medicine.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Joint Chiefs to Trump: GTFO

(I sent that to my mom)
No modifications till it comes down officially through SecDef....
It goes back to my point about this tweet...
He obviously didn't
SecDef gets asked about the tweet and basically responds with "I dunno, ask the White House"
Joint Chiefs respond with "We're not doing anything till it comes from the SecDef"
I didn't think the President could just change the rules on stuff like that? Isn't it a matter of the Uniform Code, which can only be changed by Congress?
Or am I completely wrong?

Technically, he's the Commander in Chief, so new enlistees don't really have much protection unless they successfully make a Constitutional challenge in court.
Those currently serving though... he's opening the US up to lawsuit.

Those people have contracts with the military, they have retirement and medical benefits tied to those contracts that they'll only receive if they are given an honorable discharge.
Not to mention the fact that they'll need to be replaced... and the military is a hell of a lot more than just slugging a rifle through the mud. We're talking high ranking NCO's and Officers in intelligence services and the like.
Really impacting. People who go after Putin are brave.
Thanks. Hopefully it won't come to court cases and he'll just back down quietly.
The irony is that should it go to court it will probably cost more in litigation than it would to just pay for the surgeries.
I don't think anyone believes for one minute that money has anything to do with it.
I can understand acceptance of transgender people in armed forces, but don't really get why the military should pay for the surgery itself?
First, that's not my point. Paying for surgeries is one of the justifications given for the ban. Secondly, if the issue was paying for surgeries, it would be much easier to just require that any gender reassignment surgeries be paid for privately rather than through Tri-care rather than to attempt to ban an entire class of people from serving their country. Finally, the reason why the surgeries are paid for by the government is because the soldiers are entitled to Tri-care services as part of their service to the nation in the armed forces.
Not a critical view, just a query. Your last line clarified it.
The funny thing is that the surgeries cost 1/5th (and that's using the high end estimate of the cost of the surgeries) of what the military spends on providing soldiers with Viagra.
If looks could kill........
Mooch is a douche.
I await the memes.
Bunch of clowns
To put in context, it allegedly costs $8m per year for this issue whereas POTUS has so far this year spent $60m on his personal trips.
This topic is about cost saving to save for his wall. He should look in a mirror

Ryan asking senators to stay in DC....lots of suspicion that House will pass the bill and Trump will sign into law asap....which even the GOP senators don't want.
GOP is a mental asylum.

House approves spending bill with funds for Trump's border wall

What a waste of money, esp when they are trying to get the deficit down.

So...Mooch is blaming Priebus and Bannon, and presumably doesn't like either of them. Priebus and Bannon also don't like each other, while Bannon and Kushner have also got beef. Trump's aligned closely with Bannon, but Kushner's sleeping with someone Trump probably used to sleep with
, and so they're closely aligned. Then you've got Trump's entire party, who's he's kind of aligned with default but doesn't actually like. What a mess.Another asshole that speaks and acts like a maniac (drugs?)... thiss set of clowns could show up and preach exactly to my political positions, and I hope I'd still have the fortitude to vote for a fecking communist or something instead.

And all because a reporter reported on a dinner with Sean Hannity.
I had to make sure this wasn't The Onion or the Borowitz Report but feck me this is nuts.
Jesus, Mooch seems deranged. A week in and he's already doing worse than Spicer.
The Mooch - WHAT A LEGEND!!!
