jacee Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 Trump had some kind of knee-jerk twitter fit and banned Trans people from the military. Several thousand serving Trans US soldiers wonder what this means for their jobs and careers. What do you think is going to happen? THE MILITARY IS OFFICIALLY IGNORING TRUMP’S TRANSGENDER ORDER The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says tweets don’t count as policy. http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/07/joint-chiefs-transgender-ban-military Good for them.

Boges Posted July 28, 2017 Report Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) How cute that Trump thought it'd be a distraction from his inability to repeal Obamacare. What could be a distraction is the fact that his Director of Communication is crazier than he is. Edited July 28, 2017 by Boges 1 Quote

They're not ignoring anything. There hasn't been anything put into place yet. As he said, "tweets don't count as policy". I don't know what you think is happening, but if it becomes policy, they'll all go along with it.

That's what the military does. Trump will then have to deal with the courts because people will not take this laying down. There are decorated transgendered special forces vets who put the lie to his bullshit. I expect he will just let this die. 1 Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC
bush_cheney2004 Posted July 29, 2017 Report Posted July 29, 2017 President Reagan once said on an open mic that bombing of the Soviet Union would begin in 5 minutes. That wasn't policy or CiC direction either. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Or should I have said "bigly" for you A significant policy change. Edited July 29, 2017 by Omni Quote

Is that why you're all wet about the fact that the pentagon are NOT acting on it?

Apparently you do....Trump haters always take Trump literally while Trump supporters know better.

Trump supporters come from the low IQ areas of the US, but even they decided to vote his way to get those promised rust belt jobs back. So they held their nose and voted. Too bad for them. Quote
