Man— with Papadapoulos going to prison, FBI intel getting subpoenaed, and the Trump Foundation under investigation—that man is trying to grasp at any diversion at hand.

Congrats Little Donny, for wasting a lot of taxpayer money and ressources to discriminate against a minority who wants to serve the armed forces. You're a real winner.

Well, speaking about diners, he did say on CNN he was "scared of breakfast".

Anyone else see the irony here that the same people who for years whine about Americans not being patriotic enough or not wanting to fight for their country, are literally trying to prevent people from doing so just because they don't fit their idea of normal?

That is both incorrect and lacking context. On election night, he said that parents would be scared of breakfast the next day because they would have to tell their children that Trump won.

Naso posted something out of context to make a liberal look bad?

If it was sarcastic, I don't get the sarasm. I took that the way Landslide Lyndon apparently did (or to be charitable, I thought perhaps you misremembered it) and wanted to correct the quote.

That's the actual definition of the word "Republican."

I mean the whole ban idea is silly. Just set a limit as to what medical procedures you’re willing to pay for - no additional cost to taxpayers than is necessary but you don’t discriminate against people who want to serve.

How many transgender people even sign up for the military in the first place? Does anyone have the stats on that?

Why single out transgender people for special rules on medical procedures though? The entire cost of a gender transition is often less than a single cancer treatment.

My wife and I were. My wife and I had to explain to our boys that " the rude man" as they began to call him quite on their own since we never discussed politics in front of them. Civics, of course, but never politics.

I teach political science at a danish high school. I had taken wednesday the 9th of november 2016 off, because I knew I would have been up all night to watch the election (because of the time difference, nothing much happens in the US elections until about 1am in Europe). That wednesday was one of the most depressing days of my life. Not as bad as when my mother passed away last year many many years too soon, but not that far off either. My entire belief in humanity and western civilization had been shattered. On thursday I literally gave an unprepared 95 minute monologue to my students about the state of affairs. It was probably darker than Trumps inauguration speech. I'm sure they will never forget that.

Not to sound vulgar, but Naso and the rest of the deplorables are having an orgasm reading posts like yours (owning the libs, etc.).
