Don't feel bad for United, it's free publicity because they suffer absolutely no negative consequences

I mean seriously their stock price went up after they beat up a guy

I want to say American took a bigger hit to their stock by raising employee wages than United gained or lost from any of the beating fallout.

Not sure what you mean by this bit.

The tweeted policy can't be done. For a poo poo ton of reasons.

So what is going to happen is something similar to the travel ban where he writes an order, its blocked by courts, rewritten, gets blocked again, and then congress pulls Article 1, Section 8.

That last part is the rule that essentially gives congress the power to control manning regulations. It's the way they created DADT.

EXTERIOR: A TROPICAL BEACH

-An older man reclines on a beach chair. A half empty drink with an umbrella sits on the sand next to him. He watches the waves roll in with a relaxed air. Although he has put his burdens down for the moment, the bodyguards with earpieces and Hawaiian shirts concealing their gun belts stand at a tasteful distance, breaking the illusion of a pensioner at his leisure.

Jim Mattis: (under his breath) ".. don't know the reason, stayed here all season..."

-an AIDE hurries across the sand from the direction of the hotel. Nervous, scattered, dreading having to give his boss bad news.

JM: "...but it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie..."

Aide: "Mister Secretary, sir, the President just went on Twitter and..."

What? Pretty sure getting cosmetic surgery for free wasn't part of the contract I signed.

Also, I'm obv in the minority in this forum but I'm pretty ok with banning transexuals. If you're so uncomfortable in your body that you're going to cut off your genitals and take tons of hormones then you probably shouldn't be given a gun and put in a warzone, just saying. Also, every transexual I've met has been nuts.
