THE ERA OF TRUMP

[SuburbanFarmer]

Like look at the Transgender ban, just to give a small sample in a multitude of Trumpisms. Yep, his base might get up from that. And that's basically it, nothing else. No actual thought or policy behind that.

You're insane. Would you let transgendered people in the military? Do you even?

I'd let them in, if we block reassignment surgery from military healthcare. Good luck with that recruitment drive

I don't think I need to worry about catering to .02% of the population to staff my fourth reich. I would simply offer them affordable home loans, some money and grants for schooling. And healthcare.

Like look at the Transgender ban, just to give a small sample in a multitude of Trumpisms. Yep, his base might get up from that. And that's basically it, nothing else. No actual thought or policy behind that. Because he surely "consulted his generals". Mattis was on leave, has been said to found it appalling, and the generals?

The military’s highest-ranking officer said in a letter to senior leaders Thursday that there would be “no modifications” to the current policy on transgender troops until further direction was received from the president.

“In the meantime, we will continue to treat all of our personnel with respect,” said Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr., chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

See Pentagon has made no change yet to its transgender policy, says highest-ranking officer in U.S. military

When does a Commander-In-Chief get an answer from his military that nothing will be done until we get further directions from the President after the President just gave directions that he says he has consulted with his generals? Just a tiny example of the daily Trump-tweets that do nothing. You can dream that this is some kind of 5-D chess that Trump triumphantly is winning, but it looks like just pathetic inconclusive rambling from an obsessed narcissist that thinks that most important thing is what the media is saying about him, the President.

I know this is news to you, because all you have is news, but I told everyone months ago that policies were being put in place to block this. I told you leadership was not on board with this, and were crafting policy to make it as impossible as possible for transgenders to enter service. Anyone remember?

Now, months later, it's going public. To you, having only CNN, this came out of nowhere, but I told you it was coming.

The decision to allow transgenders, and openly threatening to boot anyone opposed to it is why recruitment and retention are plummeting.

The Army is scraping the bottom of the barrel to find NCOs, because everyone is getting out. Not that you know fuck all about any of this.

Don't know, and don't really care, tbh. I just think it's funny to imagine a tranny soldier.

A cat pic would have sufficed.

Hey, I feel like I'm black, the Navy now needs to give me meds, facial reconstruction and hair treatments.

While undergoing pre op, surgery and recovery my fellow sailors will have to do my job, and I may not be able to deploy with you. Also, if you dare say a word, I'm going to make sure you get an Aticle 15.

I didn't say article 15. Booted the fuck out is what you'll get.

I posted the promotion numbers months ago after I told you how this was being rolled out. They were explicit. They said, if a male identifies as female, and wants to stick his dick in your face in the shower, if you have a problem with that, keep it to yourself or you're out.

Predictably, soldiers decided to boot themselves. I posted the numbers. Across the board, promotion points dropped into single digits. More than a dozen MOSes went on the STAR list to promote sham shields to Sergeant without ever having been to a promotion board. Bonuses in the tens of thousands came back, without any significant troop deployments ongoing, as the Army tried to bribe soldiers to stay in. Didn't work. Retention kept plummeting.

Not long after that, I was having drinks with the brass when I learned that they were aware, and were crafting policy to block this suicidal course. This was months ago, and I shared it here. I'll see 'em again next weekend. Maybe I'll learn more.

In other news, promotion points for April have nearly hit rock bottom as the Army tries to fill vacated slots.
