Fuck Donald Trump
Donald Trump was elected on 100% cultural lines. Nobody voting for him gave a shit about economics or healthcare; this election was entirely about LGBT people, Muslims, Latinos, Blacks, liberals, young people.
I'll echo that impeachment can't come fast enough.
I sincerely wish Donald Trump would fall down and break his neck.

I can understand preventing transgender soldiers if they are currently in hormone therapy as it from what I've seen and been told mess with their mood and stability. However, pre and post op, there should be no fucking issue with and individuals should be judged on the same basis as anyone else. Fucking shite, Trump. Go pee your pants.
Fuck Donald Trump. I'm worried because we have a Dysphoria group at our Facility and there's a lot of Sailors in it who are going through different phases of transitioning, this was a big deal months ago and I wonder what's going to happen to these Sailors who are the in the process of transition.
"Not being able to serve in any capacity" go fuck yourself you big flaming cheeto.
Any way this could be shot down? Surely this is unconstitutional. At least if Trump tried to repeal/ban LGBT marriage he'd be dealing with an even greater firestorm of angry people ready to put the GOP down by force.

:snip: Goddamn ninja Either way, the federal courts should definitely challenge this. And if they don't, riot.
[QUOTE=UnknownDude;52508424]Isn't this unconstitutional or something?[/QUOTE] It'll get challenged, there will be lawsuits, and hopefully they'll move swiftly through courts that will subsequently strike the ban down as being unconstitutional and a violation of civil liberties. Just keep digging that hole you orange shit-faced gibbon.
"B-but he held the flag!!1"
Shit I figured this'd be a more gradual process but I guess he's decided to dive right into the blatant discrimination.
Something smells off about this. It seems cartoonishly harsh and out of left field, and considering the recent ACA defeat, it feels like a distraction more than anything else. Rule up the left and right to fight one another and be focused on this for the 10 minute attention span of the US voter, and in the meantime find some friends and ways to build up defenses to the investigation.
They just allowed it and I'm sure most trans people have been getting the help they need finally in the military and then he tries to pull this crap? Not gonna fly dude, not at all. I'm sure a majority of people in the military will even challenge this.
I mean if you're transitioning I can understand the instability a person might have while serving in the military and undergoing HRT, but if a person has already transitioned I don't see why blocking them would be any form of okay.
So apparently nor the press office or Pentagon knew this before hand. Good lord, he IS dumb.
I wanna hear Mattis' opinion on this, it would ultimately be his call before Turnip's call, right?

The thing is all the branches just did a big announcement allowing it, giving mandatory briefings to everyone stating that if they are trans they will now be able to get all the medical help they need and also providing transitioning plans. So most trans came out and started getting the help they need. Now Trump wants to ban them so everyone who was keeping it secret and came out have the potential to be screwed because we have a really crappy commander in chief who has no care for his own troops obviously.

Says the guy that never served telling other people they can't serve. Relevant [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-u8gdfH9Vo[/media]

I had people yelling down my neck about how he was going to be LGBT, even people who were going out with trans folk were talking about how LGBT he is. Fuck this transphobic asshole.
