Now that I know that O'Connell was a writer for the WW, I hear him as one of the characters. Star

I have no idea Lweji. He tweets like it's happening.

There are 134,000 trans veterans in US at the moment, and 15,000 serving

If he has just pulled it out of his hat in order to create distraction the result will be the same: green light for those inclined to hate.

I'll confess, Gump, that I don't much like McCain but I have much respect for him. I don't think that I could have survived 6 years as a POW in Vietnam, being subjected to torture and with like-altering injuries. I suspect that 45's remarks about that cut very deep. I don't know what he'll do.

This explains the healthcare bill journey a little better for me.

His comment about McCain's capture was vile.

But not good enough to serve in the military, eh, Ivanka?

It's to protect them from the evil people abroad who aren't as sympathetic towards LGBT.

cozietoesie · 26/07/2017 16:24

You have to remember, lion, that he's never served.

Lweji · 26/07/2017 16:30

I bet Sessions now wishes he had told Congress what was discussed in those meetings...

cozietoesie · 26/07/2017 16:41

Ouch indeed.

lionheart · 26/07/2017 16:45

He still can. Smile

Lweji · 26/07/2017 16:46

If he's sacked?

Really interesting segment from Morning Joe today - What Trump risks if he fires Sessions.

An opinion piece.

Firing Sessions

SetPhasersTaeMalkie · 26/07/2017 16:55

Holy crap. That NYT article!

cozietoesie · 26/07/2017 17:17

Thanks for that Morning Joe piece link, Set. Smile

cozietoesie · 26/07/2017 17:19

I suppose that if Sessions now leaves that office by whatever means, there's not going to be a person in Washington - and many places elsewhere - that won't believe that 45 willed it so?

69 years ago, President Truman desegregated the US Military. This morning, @POTUS turned anti-#trans prejudice into policy.

I hope Jill Abramson is right.

Trump is a coward. At least it limits the damage he does
