Career military dude here.

Reminder that the Department of Defense found that allowing trans people to serve openly would “cost little and have no significant impact on unit readiness.”

How about someone punch him in the dick?

The word “Affianced” is used in The Lion King. If a G-rated movie’s target audience can figure it out than I am sure the readers on Splinter can as well.

You’re confusing anecdotal evidence with having a giant ego.

I knew it. And even if I hadn’t, I probably could’ve guessed from the root and context. I assume she used it because it made the sentence more lyrical. I noted and approved of the diction for that reason. We have all these nice words that rarely get used. No harm in having to look something up. It’s how we learn!

Why assume no one knows a word just because you had to look it up?

hahaha since I live in NY they’re everywhere.

You can call her an idiot without misgendering her, come on. Don’t be a bigot, just call her the privileged dumbfuck that she is.

That seems...unfair. I mean, she sucks for continuing to support the Republican party, but denying her identity doesn’t seem to have anything to do with this and is just kinda mean.

As awful and nonsensical as Trump’s message is here, there is no way he wrote those tweets. The syntax is far too measured, there are no ALLCAPS, no misspellings, or even a SAD! ending the message. Also the absurdly polite “Thank You”.

I fucking hate this man with every fiber of my being. He’s such a cowardly worm of a man, with no respect for anyone who doesn’t kiss his ass.

From what he’s saying, he’s had to structure his whole life, even his relationships, around avoiding invasive stalkers who follow his every move. He did his job well and moved on (like the most of the rest of the world) but he still has to look over his shoulder, for who knows how long. Maybe forever? That sucks.

I saw a Kristen Stewart/Rob Pattinson Tumblr how they’re secretly married and have a kid and them dating other people is just a pr stunt and it was the most batshit crazy thing I’ve ever seen.

My former manager’s daughter (who worked mostly remotely) would come in for a visit every now and then, and would tell anyone who listened how much she loved Twilight movies and how all the stars knew her and loved her and she was best friends with them.

RPatz had people scratching their necks open and offering to let him drink. Dude is allowed to be freaked out for forever over that.

Trump, a man who dodged and cheated his way out of serving, has decided that Trans people who want to serve in the Forces aren’t worthy of doing so. Couldn’t make it up.
