I've got some questions about whether a Twitter pronouncement is legally binding.

TBeats posted:Does that mean people get kicked out if they say they are trans and they're already in? Yes. Which is why they will have to change it and then watch it collapse in court. Their only hope is to simply bar transition surgeries under readiness rules. But anything else will have to be reasonably accommodated like hormone therapy, counseling and legal documentation changes. If you can deploy, they won't be able to kick you out. The more surprising move will be when Trump tries to ban homosexuals in a follow up policy, possibly as soon as later today.

I'm curious how said emails will show up on my end since I'm a weird civ/mil hybrid and we get all of that policy stuff when it comes out. With that said, there's a two-prong reason for this, both are incredibly dumb. The first is that Donnie is losing his base due to his Sessions insults, so this is a base play. The second reason is trouble in Congress on the defense bill in the House. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/07/20/house-republicans-try-to-revive-ban-on-transgender-pentagon-surgeries-240770 Basically conservatives are pissed that they couldn't push through a ban on reassignment surgeries in the defense bill and there's enough of an uproar that it could torpedo the whole bill. So, Donnie's like I CAN SOLVE THIS PROBLEM and here we are.

Army Chiefs posted this about an hour prior:  Notice what is missing? Sexual Orientation. DADT is probably back on the menu. joat mon posted:I wonder if Mattis has an orange phone dedicated to letting him know immediately what stupid poo poo Trump has done now so he can start trying to unfuck it. Mattis was directly involved in delaying the Obama era ruling that helped ease restrictions on transgenders.

Edit: cheesebrain is back to whining about Sessions again. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 14:52 on Jul 26, 2017 |

The President and his staff knows this because they know where Obama's positions were not. By subtracting where their policy's are from where Obama's were not, or where Obama was from where they are(whichever is greater), it obtains a press release, or tweet. The President uses tweets to generate commands to drive the GOP from a policy position where it is to a policy position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is.

The funniest part about Sessions is that he pretty much gave up his for-life job (because loving  if you think he was ever going to get voted out of his seat) to take the AG job and will likely lose that in the next few months. Go out swinging Jeff, go on. Do it.

Donnie appears to have bullshitted his way into this garbage and dragged his generals into it: https://twitter.com/JesseRodriguez/status/890211167683084288 As Mattis has been on vacation all week. https://twitter.com/JesseRodriguez/status/890211346318598144 What a shitshow. I bet Donnie never even signs an executive order / policy guide to make it official. facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Jul 26, 2017 |

It's not possible to bring back DADT without a supreme court ruling that overtuns both obergefell and a congressional law. And there really isn't anybody who has standing or is willing to make that challenge. The president can't bring back DADT anymore than he can outlaw abortion by tweet.

Well, and banning transgenders wasn't a very informed decision either, he still did it.

I don't think DADT is coming back but this is not true at all, Obergefell wasn't even decided on any sort of basis that would even intersect with DADT and even if it was the court has always been rather deferential to whatever the military wants being a "compelling government interest".
