DC Tom Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Good. Show me that first Trump. Better yet, have Mattis give a press conference explaining why they made this decision. No, tweet the link to that, Trump. If you're going to tweet. Better yet, stop tweeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Mattis is on vacation. Oh yeah. The Sessions thing. It's odd that berating a highly regarded cabinet member on Twitter in hopes he'll resign instead of just asking him to resign like a responsible adult would do would cause unease among other cabinet members.

26CornerBlitz Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 No, tweet the link to that, Trump. If you're going to tweet. Better yet, stop tweeting. @politico Trump’s ban on transgender troops was, in part, an attempt to save a House proposal full of his campaign promises http://politi.co/2v8UZgx House Republicans were planning to pass a spending bill stacked with his campaign promises, including money to build his border wall with Mexico. But an internal House Republican fight over transgender troops was threatening to blow up the bill. And House GOP insiders feared they might not have the votes to pass the legislation because defense hawks wanted a ban on Pentagon-funded sex reassignment operations — something GOP leaders wouldn’t give them. They turned to Trump, who didn’t hesitate. In the flash of a tweet, he announced that transgender troops would be banned altogether. Trump’s sudden decision was, in part, a last-ditch attempt to save a House proposal full of his campaign promises that was on the verge of defeat, numerous congressional and White House sources said. The president had always planned to scale back President Barack Obama-era policies welcoming such individuals in combat and greenlighting the military to pay for their medical treatment plans. But a behind-the-scenes GOP brawl threatening to tank a Pentagon funding increase and wall construction hastened Trump’s decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 What a hateful, bigoted thing to do. But when you really want to cement your allegiance to that part of the Republican base you have to do some ugly things.

ALF Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 It's the military, not a social program. I spent 6 years military , there are 100's of thousands non combat jobs. If you let transgender re enlist with no bonus to pay back the cost , I bet they will be the best . jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, the military is not a social program. Give every current transgendered GI their pension, and benefits of service, and an honorable discharge. Give future transgendered individuals a Section 8, with no benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 It was classy to bother going at all. Participation award! The enablers are in force I see. He shows up, then hits the campaign trail with a bunch of captive Scouts... Give him a participation award? LoL... My Son was @ the 2013 Jambo. That was the first one @ the new Summit Bechtel Reserve in W.Va. Obama video conferenced in 2010 for the one @ A.P. Hill. 2013: One thing Scouts didnt get to see this year was a speech from President Barack Obama, who serves as honorary president of the BSA. http://washington.cbslocal.com/2013/07/24/obama-turns-down-boy-scouts-offer-to-speak-at-jamboree/ "...Presidents dating back to George H.W. Bush traveled to the Jamboree when it was previously held at a military base at Fort A.P. Hill, Va. Obama, who opposed the Scouts ban on gays, had been invited again this year but didnt take the Scouts up on their offer. He addressed the Jamboree in a video message in 2010. The president is always invited and welcome to come, said BSA national spokesman Deron Smith. We understand his schedule sometimes prevents that. White House spokesman Keith Maley said Obama has long believed that the Scouts is a valuable organization that has helped educate and build character in American boys for more than a century. He will continue to look for opportunities to work with the Boy Scouts..." 2013 Obama declined. The reserve in W.Va in was brand spanking new and logistics were still an issue, with the 2013 Jamboree being the very first event there. Weather was also rainy as hell. Zip line courses in the canopies were frequently shut down to lightning. I wonder if security, weather, scheduling conflicts, new facility, logistics... Then the gay brewhaha played a part. LoL. Of course it did. The Reserve was a mess and barely pressed into service on time. It's more classy to decline, then go and come off all political. Trump seems to make a lot of noise, complains how people are unfair to him, crows about his accomplishments, puts others down. Obama may not have agreed with the Scouts on some issues, but it is classier to exude quiet strength through decorum. Trump exudes petulant bluster, that is anything BUT classy. Trump is a Snowflake & Deplorable all rolled up into one. A Janus. He does not exemplify the Scout Law, Oath, and Motto. Even in Scouting's Honor Society, Order of the Arrow, Trump is anything BUT "Brotherhood of Cheerful Service." Trump has simply lived his life in a sewer. Anything BUT classy, and his recent speech jusy confirmed it for the 10,000th time. You don't get a "classy medal" for just showing up and participating. Especially if one particpates like a buffoon. That's a participation award, you think the conservatives would get this, they preach against them all the time. Enablers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
