I like how you just assume here that uneducated people and criminals are axiomatically poor.

To say nothing of how you appear to believe uneducated people and criminals make up huge swathes of the lower class.

drat you packed a lot of stupid into one sentence.

I'm glad you deny any link between poverty, education, and criminal activity. You just made an unironic argument for bootstraps!

More than anything, that "Thank you" at the end made me think someone else wrote it and posted it under his name. While the content of those three tweets is obviously terrible, they're well-written, concise, and sound like an actual professional took care when composing them. That feels... off.

I'm sure plenty of people in the WH are concerned about the optics of his tweets but the staff members that actually matter love his stupidass tweets.

But probably nobody dares question his choice of outreach.

I mean, he really isn't. "I don't think we should be discriminating... I look forward to getting more information" isn't a condemnation so much as a "poo poo's going to get contentious and I don't want to have to risk taking a real stance."

You'd think the military wouldn't care who gets inlisted since they are fighting for our FREEDOMS or whatever the gently caress. A meat popsicle is a meat popsicle regardless of gender.

So as soon as I heard that the Transgender approval policy was Obama's it suddenly clicked instantly on why this is such a big policy deal for Trump in the midst of everything is going on since literally his entire policy as president to date has been based around doing the exact opposite of everything that Obama did. He doesn't care about the military in the slightest nor Healthcare, it's just Obama approved the current policies it so they have to go. Not sure what his loving deal is with Sessions though, that one literally seems to have come out of nowhere.

Seriously though I think if you could get Obama to do a fake speech about how he's against Transgenders in the military and at least make it look real for Trump he'd turn around tomorrow and be all for it. I think this might be the secret to manipulating Trump into doing the right thing for once in his life but it involves getting Obama back into politics and a whole lot of role play.

'Off ' is right. It is not composed entirely of thought fragments, ALLCAPS, and namecalling. Fake tweet.
I'm convinced that most of the president's genuine tweets can be identified by the exclamation point at the end!

gently caress Her. She is the goddamn reason my loving family doesn't accept the fact that I'm a trans woman, which basically caused my sisters to cut me out of their family's lives when I transitioned.

It's astounding how much humiliation and petty shittiness the institutions of government are willing to take. You have people being insulted on a daily basis by an idiot who's historically ineffective and providing no help at all with advancing his party's agenda - a guy who probably worked with an enemy to undermine the country's electoral system - and people are just lapping it up.

I guess I don't know what I want to happen but there's just so little dignity
