Guys the new spin is that transsexuals have elevated rates of suicide/mental instability and thus shouldn't be given guns or allowed near sensitive data

The issue isn't cost, as such. Here's the break down. Republican caucus in the House split on banning the military to pay for gender reassignment. The hard anti-reassignment republicans look to be losing but threaten to delay defense bill full of things Trump wants, like the wall and spending on military. They go to trump who cuts the Gordian knot by banning transgender perople from the military. Bing Bang Boom it's just that easy. farraday fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Jul 26, 2017 |

people need to read that politico article, trump has massively hosed up yet again basically, the House had a problem with their military budget bill: conservatives wouldn't vote for the bill unless it stripped funding for sexual reassignment surgeries, while moderates refused to agree to discriminate against trans people, and they couldn't pass it with moderates + democrats because democrats won't vote for it with funding for The Wall. so, they can't fund the military at all unless they give up the wall. that is...embarrassing. so Ryan hit on an idea: get Trump to issue an order saying the military won't pay for sexual reassignment surgeries, and the House no longer needs to include it in the legislation at all, it's no longer their problem so he asked Trump, and Trump appears to have basically misinterpreted what was being asked for and banned all trans people entirely which was not at all what Ryan wanted and now, even Republicans are like "uh this is a little too segregationey even for me guys" and i bet that bill now gets trapped in a debate over if it should overturn that executive order or not instead of a much quieter funding battle

Bicyclops posted:I really need to learn how to code well enough that I can make a Trump Orz Twitter account that just tweets what he does every day with some of his most repeated words replaced with things like "*happy* *campers*." I'm currently studying programming and the second I cobble together enough knowledge to do so I'm going dedicate every free moment I have to writing Twitter bots to troll Trump. I think if more people suggested this as the endgame of the learn to code movement it would be much more popular.

poo poo is so dumb, especially when I know a girl who joined the Air Force and got a boob job out of it so obviously they are already paying for it. Some bases even have plastic surgery centers on the grounds. Ridiculous!

The legal argument they'll inevitably have to have about the elective character of sexual reassignment surgery vs what they already cover through tricare and the va and the nakedly discriminatory angle of it.... This was a bad idea that crashed into another bad idea caught fire then insulted a widow. This was stupid before trump even got wind.

Bhaal posted:The only thing is even he can walk this back since the royal decree on twitter isn't binding in the least and he can make the real order the correct one and (ignore / cast blame on whatever) any mentions of the disparity. it wasn't legally binding, but walking it back to just the surgery will (a) be personally embarassing for him and (b) provoke the conservatives who are super happy now and will then be disappointing even though they'd have been happy if he just got it right the first time that's likely the most politically expedient thing to do but it's going to run up against requiring someone to say trump was a stupid idiot who misspoke, and he doesn't like it when his underlings do that
