Kind of annoying these people have taken over the liberal movement. I mean I got nothing against em but they're like .01% of the population and they really freak out middle America
Evangelicals raising their hands in joy to their LGBT-hating God
Kind of sickening, tbh.
Being told to pack up and go home after putting your life on the line and getting a 1 way ticket home is beyond cruel.
This is just pandering. Trump is always looking for a diversion away from all that is Russia related.
I don't know if you can say taken over but they do seem to get disproportionate attention
Basically. By releasing these tweets in the early morning, he sets conversation for which we'll spend the rest of the day arguing about.
Yes, yes it is. What's more annoying is we heard nary a peep about this stupid crap when the gays weren't allowed to get married. Just something else do keep the bible thumpers fear mongered.
no takeover at all. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Repug TX Senate passed bathroom bill, now goes to das Haus where the Lord dwells, where the Christian Sharia people will pass it.
We'll see how many conventions, conferences, tournaments, etc refuse to some to TX.
Repugs, business and job killers for Christ.
everything freaks out middle america.
evangelical grifter pastors agitate their huge, suckered, duped, hing flocks of sheeple with all kinds of HATE, esp LGBT hate, just as Christ always preached and wanted.
Apparently they freak out the billionaire President too.
Kind of annoying that he's wasting time going after them.
he'll probably consider this one of his great accomplishments. what a bag.
Live and let live
and imposition of Christian Sharia on everybody else
, you'd think the haters would want to send them all to the front line to die and let die
I understand what a pain it could be born with the confusion in a society that can't handle it but...
The above by Aaron Y strikes me as well.
that wasnt the case until the gop made them the new cultural boogeyman with their re ed bathroom bills.
i guess libs could have thrown up their hands and gone "whatever" but sometimes we care too much about other people at the expense of political strategy.
I think it's a stupid move by Trump, but are there really 15K+ transgenders in the military? That seems hard to believe.
15k does seem pretty high
“After consultation with my Generals and military experts,
please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military,” Trump wrote on Twitter.
“Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail.”
According to a recent RAND Corp. study,
around 4,000 transgender people currently serve in the U.S. military.
They would presumably be expelled.

Govt policy by twitter.
Honorable discharge? dishonorable discharge?
4,000 according to RAND corp study.
CNN has settled on 6,000---that way the medical costs are tamped down.
tee, hee.
transition therapy. which can't cost that much for 4,000 transgenders.
