Why don’t they just show each other their dicks, have a pissing contest and get it over with?

Are they afraid of losing access or have they just given up getting that compulsive liar of a press secretary to actually give a shit about reality, the truth or consistency. I saw her face today and just wanted to beat her to a pulp with a baseball bat. THIS is what his administration has done to me. We are all…

When I talk about Trump I am never trying to be nice. It’s a challenge to make comments that reflect my true feelings without attracting the attention of federal agencies.

>The whole act is one big offensive caricature.

Cher is also neither a Gypsy nor a Thief... It’s just a song FFS. It simply uses language that we are more sensitive to nowadays. I mean as titles and subjects of seventies songs go I can think of at least one John Lennon hit that is tough to sing in the car for many.

That is absolutely not what is happening here. The article has done a poor job of explaining the issue. I am not Indigenous, but I follow a number of the people who have been calling her out. Here’s a better explanation:

Yep. Younger people tend to forget they were born into this world that was shaped by people of Cher’s generation. People who had to fight to get where we are today, people who held racist, sexist, homophobic views who have changed with exposure and education. Hell not even just Cher’s lifetime. In my lifetime. Just…

Sounds like something that could’ve been said about black/homosexual/female recruits when they were first allowed in the army.

Trump only cares because Obama cared, and 45*’s sole goal in office is tearing down every single thing the previous administration did because that uppity n- dared mock him at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Racism, nihilism, and petty vengeance. That’s the beginning and end of it.

Somebody has to pave the way. My admiration for the courage of the transgender people joining the military at this particular point in time knows no bounds. In my eyes, these people are role models as to what the military code of conduct should actually mean. This is bravery. This is heroism.

I really believe that in a generation or two, people will be looking back at what Obama did and what he had to put up with and they’ll wonder how much better things would have been if the worst President in history hadn’t ruined everything he set in motion. All Trump is doing is making sure that Obama’s legacy will…

I’m well aware of what the process entails, given that I’ve lived it. You didn’t answer my question: why does medical care for trans folks rankle you more than for cis folks, or more than college tuition, or any of the other ways the military compensates those who enlist?

You rock, Poodle. You inspire. The thing I always get from your comments is you may get discouraged sometimes but you never lose sight of what’s important and that keeps you going.

I have such mixed feelings about Pete Souza’ work. On the one hand, these are beautiful, iconic images. On the other the hand, it’s impossibly painful to see them at this exact time. I’m trying to look on the good side, but it’s just painful.

Why is that any different than anyone else joining up for, say, their own medical expenses or college tuition? Do you have any reason why you feel that way, besides prejudice against trans folks?

Oh if you’ve read the reasons for the ban in the first place it would be near impossible to pass. The entire thing hinges on “defective genetalia” and that being trans is a mental illness. Once it was declared that being transgender was not an inherent mental illness they really had no leg to stand on. You can bluster…

Feel like this is more “Pence is about to lose his battle.” You really think Trump cares?

I think my favorite thing to come out of this entire horrible trainwreck is the realization that the American system is a little more bulletproof than I gave it credit for, i.e. many aspects of the government can, and have, basically told Trump to eat shit and they’re not even going to bother pretending to give a fuck…

It’s like when we catch house spiders and put them out in the hall because they aren’t outside spiders. I like to think this means I would not rig a doorbell electrocution device.
