Trump bans transgender Americans from joining the military.
Make America Great Again!
Only if you're White, conservative, bigoted and racist towards people of color, immigrants, Muslims and those who are gay or transgender.
Too hot to trot.....
Donald J. Trump betrayed his LGBT supporters. He signed an executive order banning transgender enrollment into the military. It reversed a Barack Obama executive order.
The executive order will take effect on January 1, 2018. All grandfathered enrollments are to end on March 23, 2018.
Why should you pay taxes to fund a military that won't enlist you if you're transgender?
Trump wrote that "the previous Administration failed to identify a sufficient basis to conclude that terminating the Departments' longstanding policy and practice [against out transgender military service] would not hinder military effectiveness and lethality, disrupt unit cohesion, or tax military resources."
Many are outraged that Trump would resort to this.
I mean didn't Trump say he'll protect his LGBT friends.
This will become a legal court fight. This will enable a Supreme Court hearing.
Far right advisor to Donald Trump was fired out the cannon.
Another Friday another cannon firing. This one was expected in a way. The controversial British conservative agitator Sebastian Gorka was fired out the cannon.
Gorka went to the junk food media to blast Barack Obama and his allies for being weak on the fight against *drum roll* radical Islam.
This move was sponsored by John Kelly, Donald J. Trump's new Chief of Staff.
Gorka who has ties to white extremist was more of a gadfly to the White House.
He used his pseudo-knowledge of terrorism to gain attention on many junk food media outlets. He would cause an uproar whenever he appeared on programs that aren't Sean "Softball" Hannity. His rhetoric was often seen as bonkers. He often clashes with the NSA head H.R. McMaster who ordered his security clearance revoked.
Gorka who had contributed to Breitbart called the cannon firing a disgrace.
Like the former political adviser Steve Bannon, Gorka said Trump is caving to globalist and the establishment.
Trump ran on a populist platform and already he broke them. Gorka phoned in to The Federalist to complain.
“[G]iven recent events, it is clear to me that forces that do not support the MAGA promise are – for now – ascendant within the White House. As a result, the best and most effective way I can support you, Mr. President, is from outside the People’s House.”
“Regrettably, outside of yourself, the individuals who most embodied and represented the policies that will ‘Make America Great Again,’ have been internally countered, systematically removed, or undermined in recent months. This was made patently obvious as I read the text of your speech on Afghanistan this week…
“The fact that those who drafted and approved the speech removed any mention of Radical Islam or radical Islamic terrorism proves that a crucial element of your presidential campaign has been lost…
The white extremists aren't pleased with this move.
Bannon had complained that Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump and Jon Kelly are turning the Trump agenda into a carbon copy of Obama.
I expect Gorka to head back to Breitbart to do his research.
I can see the stories now. He will devote time to talking about the rise of White extremism. Nope. He will be devoted to attacking Muslims, immigrants, Black Lives Matter and politicians who don't support his wackadoodle ass.
This is the second high profile cannon firing in less than two weeks.
Good riddance to that asshole.
Next ones being loaded in the cannon: Stephen Miller, Kellyanne Conway and Sean "Softball" Hannity.
The disgraced Maricopa sheriff was pardoned by Donald J. Trump tonight.
A dick sliding a dick out of federal time out. Joe Arpaio is spared from the federal time out. Arpaio was to serve eight months in the iron college after he was found guilty in violating the civil rights of citizens. He ordered his deputies to profile immigrant and black motorists.
The 85 year old former Republican sheriff gain notoriety for being "America's Toughest Sheriff" and a constant gadfly to the birther movement.
The pardon was swift. It earned wide condemnation from civil rights groups.
Today, Donald Trump just prove to the world his ass is a racist.
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) is none too happy with Trump. He said that this quick pardon was unwarranted and leaves the door open for Trump associates to be pardoned in the Russian matter.
Trump did not consult with the US Justice Department or federal lawyers when he made this decision.
Arpaio was an early supporter of Trump praised the tough stance on immigration.
The dirty lawman would clash with Barack Obama and Eric Holder. The legacy he leaves behind is one of chain gains, tent cities, nasty food and racial profiling.
He would set an example out of washed up rapper DMX by making him wear pink jail outfits and making him eat stale baloney sandwiches.
Trump is trying to distance himself from the dossier.
On The Rachel Maddow Show, the host explained that the Trump team is trying to denounce the controversial dossier linking associates of his presidential campaign to Russian operatives.
She told viewers to check out the dossier online and decide for yourself.
I looked at it and I was pretty shocked.
The British spy who tipped the FBI to the allegations is confident that the dossier is pretty blunt and really real.
Now you know Republican lawmakers want to get the bottom of this. They want to arrest those who tipped them off to the allegations.
Being led to a slaughter by the loudest voices of the right, Republicans are determined to denounce the dossier as fake news.
Senate investigators met with the co-founder of a political research firm that brought that explosive dossier of unsubstantiated claims that Donald J. Trump had engaged with prostitutes and they obtained damaging information about him through Russian intelligence.
Russia had dirt on Trump, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
Christopher Steele who is a well respected British intelligence officer complied the dossier and claimed that Trump's links to the Russian government are real. They have damaging information on him and are willing to embarrass him or control him.
Trump has dismissed this as "fake news" and "distraction." He said Democrats are bitter and the Congress should focus on Hillary Clinton's emails.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) demanded information from Fusion GPS. He believes that Fusion GPS received money from the Russian government for work on behalf a lobbyist group that wanted the Magnitsky Act to be repealed. The law passed by Congress barred government agencies from allying with the Russian government who the U.S. accused of being involved in violation of human rights and running through banking sanctions.
Steele complied a 35 page Trump-Russian dossier that was really explosive. The final segment was dated on December 13th, a few weeks after the election.
Actor and talk radio host Jay Thomas passed away at the age of 69.
Hollywood mourns the lost of comedian/talk radio host Jay Thomas. He was the host of The Jay Thomas show on SiriusXM. Thomas was battling cancer.

Thomas began his career as a local disc jockey before he got a break in acting. He was a major role in the second and third season of Robin Williams and Pam Dawber's comedy Mork & Mindy.
Thomas played Remo DaVinci, the co-owner of a local Boulder, Colorado deli. Between the DJ position, he took on a few roles. His breakout role was being in the 1995 movie Mr. Holland's Opus.
He also had a role on Murphy Brown and Cheers.

Thomas and Harding were reunited in Michigan and appeared on Dr. Phil.
Thomas gave up J.T. as a baby after he had an affair on his wife.
Before he was the host of the comedy show, he was an actor who starred in shows such as Mork & Mindy, Cheers and Murphy Brown.
Jon Thomas Terrell was born in Kermit, Texas and was a descendant of an Italian American mother and Protestant father.
Philadelphia rapper Lil' Uzi Vert drops the long-awaited debut album on Generation Now and Atlantic Records. The album, Luv is Rage 2 is a sequel to his groundbreaking mixtape Luv is Rage.
Lil' Uzi Vert has became a mainstream act when he got on the DJ Drama's album and let it rip.
Drama and Don Cannon quickly signed the rapper to his Generation Now label and quickly released his mixtapes, Lil' Uzi Vert vs. The World an The Perfect Luv Tape. He also released two more mixtapes and a collaboration mixtape with Gucci Mane.
Now the wait is over.
It was initially supposed to be released in November 2016, but got shelved. Lil' Uzi Vert was voicing frustration with Generation Now and Atlantic Records. He threatened to leave the label and sign to Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang Music.
DJ Drama shot down the notion saying that they're working to make a "masterpiece" and it's going to be raw Uzi.
Spotify and Apple Music already got samples of his album for streaming.
You can listen to some of the album here.
Congratulations to Symere Woods (Lil' Uzi Vert) for his accomplishments. We hope the best for you and your family.
State lawmaker mocks Trump by calling for his death.. Now she's facing death threats and calls for her removal from office.
A state lawmaker from Missouri called for the assassination of Donald J. Trump.
Now her choice of words got her in some deep trouble. It got bot sides of the Missouri State house angered. It earned a visit from the financially stretched U.S. Secret Service.
It earned her constant agitation from Rupert Murdoch's right wing media conglomerate.
Fox News is the only network that devoted to pointing out this nobody from St. Louis County making a tasteless remark about Trump on social media. Remember political correctness is what Republicans and conservative believe is "silencing dissent."
Barack Obama was called numerous things. Some resigned others got reelected.
Reminder: Rep. [Addison] Joe Wilson (R-SC) infamously yelled, "You lie!" during the Joint Session of the Congress when Obama spoke.
Reminder: Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) called Obama a "tar baby."
Also we have Rep. Steve King (R-IA), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC). They said some crazy bullshit and they still get reelected like Wilson and Lamborn.
So spare me the calls for resignation and phony outrage.
Trump has Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, Sebastian Gorka, Stephen Miller and Mike Pence on the payroll. These right wing assholes are openly racist.
The woman apologizes for the comments. Her state colleagues roundly condemn the comments. But for the right wing racists and the folks at Fox News, it's not enough. They want her drawn and quartered.
Maria Chappelle-Nadel isn't holding back her thoughts. Although she said that her choice of words were wrong, she won't resign.
Chappelle-Nadel is facing calls for removal.
"Trump, I apologize to you and your family. I also apologize to all the people in Missouri. And I also apologize to my colleagues in the Missouri legislature for the mistake I made."
She added, "I made a mistake. And I'm owning up to it."
She was just recently removed from eight committee positions at the state house in Jefferson City.
Republican lieutenant governor Mike Parson calls for a special state session to remove her from the senate.
She is a state senator from University City, Missouri, a suburb of St. Louis.
Now she's fundraising off this. She denounced the so-called "outrage."
She's right.
When the country's own leader resorts to saying stuff like this, why should she be exempted from it?
Conservatives long complained about political correctness.
They want to be unfiltered when they discuss issues about how "Black Lives Matter kill cops." Perhaps, the "Black babies are aborted far more than White babies." Maybe the "Muslims aren't American."
That's why Charlottesville happened.
White conservatives gathered in the Virginia city to protest their outrage against the changing demographics in the United States, they chanted Trump's name.
Trump's tepid response to the violence in Charlottesville was met with fury from both sides and praise from notable white extremists like David Duke and Richard Spencer.
Chappelle-Nadel was frustrated with Trump's postings on social media slamming localities decisions to remove Confederate monuments.
I am wondering whether Sleeping Giants and Media Matters for America is launching an ad boycott of this bullshit. This bullshit is being promoted by a right wing nut who got mainstream attention for his relentless support of Donald J. Trump.
Alex Jones and his kookspiracy website InfoWars posted this about former First Lady Michelle Obama.
The posting "Is this the final proof Michelle Obama is a man? - #1 video on the web."
This is the website that Donald Trump reads.
This website became mainstream thanks to Megyn Kelly's shameless promotion of this website and this truly disgusting figure of this white extremist movement they've labeled the alt-right.
Alex Jones is promoting this bullshit.
"I'm not saying Michelle Obama is a tranny and I don't hate trannies, I am libertarian. But we have famous photos of her where it appears that she have a bulge in her pants. And we have Joan Rivers, who was big fan of gays and trannies and everything else saying, 'Hey we already have our first gay couple. Because Michelle is a tranny.'"
Jones is trying to accused Obama of having her murdered.
Jones of course made this not only a racial issue but a transphobic issue. He basically is calling transwomen, "trannies."
And remember that racist Ben Garrison and his infamous picture.
The one that brought him into the mainstream.
Ever since Donald J. Trump got into power, this country has become more divided than ever.
He openly endorse this type of bullshit.
White extremists aren't wearing hoods anymore. They're writing blogs. They're trolling Black-oriented websites. They're drawing political cartoons. They're getting paid to promote bullshit.
We need to put the breaks on these folks.
Alex Jones, Joseph Paul Watson and Ben Garrison are disgusting human piles of shit.
Fuck them.
Michelle Obama said, "When they go low, we go high!"
Melania Trump wanted to curb online bullying and slander. I guess it's not working. Her own husband is a bully.
Disgruntled restaurant worker launches an attack against his employer.
Disgruntled employee murders a restaurant chef and took people hostage before the Charleston Police put his ass down. The terrorist took to Virginia's On King to take revenge on the people who fired his ass out the cannon.
South Carolina authorities announced tonight that the situation was under control with the shooter being taken down. The mayor of Charleston told reporters that the gunman has been shot by police and was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
The terrorist entered the restaurant brandishing a loaded small-caliber revolver, locked the restaurant's doors and said, "I am the new king of Charleston."
The terrorist was a a Black man in his 50s.
The terrorist was a former dishwasher who got revenge by shooting a male chef because he was angry at the workers.
So for a few hours the terrorist held hostage, patrons, employees and managers.
The SWAT tried to calm the terrorist by negotiating terms of surrender. It failed.
By that time, the sniper took aim and bucked the terrorist.
Charleston Police nab wounded gunman.
Charleston's mayor John Tecklenburg rushed to reassure the public this was not an "act of terrorism" or a "hate crime."
It bothers me to no ends. They should label a mass shooting a terrorist attack regardless.
The shooting brings back old wounds. The fatal terrorist attack at Emanuel AME Church where nine worshipers were killed by a white extremist. And the fatal shooting of Walter Scott by a North Charleston cop who tried to plant evidence on the lifeless body.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. DONALD J. TRUMP, REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ARE INEPT. THEY ARE NUMB TO GUN VIOLENCE. THEY CONTINUE TO ALLOW FIREARMS IN THE HANDS OF TERRORISTS AND BAD COPS. EXPECT MORE COPS SHOOTING UNARMED OR LEGALLY ARMED PEOPLE OF COLOR. EXPECT COPS TO WALK WHEN THEY CLAIM THEY USED DEADLY FORCE BECAUSE THEY FEARED FOR THEIR LIVES. EXPECT MORE MASS SHOOTINGS. EXPECT GOOD COPS TO BE KILLED BY TERRORISTS.
WE DON'T CONDONE VIOLENCE AGAINST LAW ENFORCEMENT OR ANY HUMAN BEING.
Transwoman killed by the St. Louis Police sparks outrage.
A transwoman of color is killed and the junk food media ignores it. Today, Black Lives Matter adds the fight for the rights to those who are transgender.
The inept leader Donald J. Trump is trying to sign off with Jim Mathis, a transgender soldier ban. This ban will discriminate against those who identify as transgender serving in the military.
It will face legal challenges if this is signed.
Transgender Americans are trying to win a place at the table. In these polarizing times, you need all the allies to help #RESIST the Trump legacy, Republicans and their conservative agitating allies.
It's time to denounce White extremism.
There were protests in St. Louis, Missouri.
Protesters were attacked by a terrorist. The car drove into a crowd of people following the vigil of a transwoman who was killed by the law.
Several individuals were injured but treated for minor injuries.
The St. Louis Police will investigate whether the act was intentional or accidental. It happened not to far from the Transgender Garden, a memorial site to the transgender victims of violence.
There was fatal police shooting in the independent city of St. Louis of a transgender woman named Kiwi Herring. The 30 year old was accused of cutting an officer with a knife. The officers used deadly force.
Now protesters are demanding answers.
Herring leaves behind three children. As a transwoman, Kiwi was a father/mother.
"Her pain, her struggle, her legacy will not be forgotten by anyone here, said Morgan Hunlin. "She was a resilient character that may have reached an unfortunate an tragic end, but lived a life that should be celebrated."
The officers chose to not use the Taser. They used their service weapons to stop a woman in her own home. This was a domestic dispute between her spouse Kristy Thompson, another transgender woman who was later arrest and charged with first-degree assault.
Thompson is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The officer did get treated for a cut. The officer's name wasn't released nor the partner. They're placed in the freezer pending a grand jury decision to whether deadly force was justified.
Protesters were injured in hit and run.
There were over 600 people this year killed by the law. When will there names be said?
To hear the death of Kiwi Herring is troubling. The fact that a transwoman who called for help would end up being killed by the people who were trying to protect her.
And it bugs me that the junk food media wanted to use the government name to describe the victim.
I choose not to out of respect because Kiwi was identified as a woman.
There were 18 transwomen killed this year alone. This news often doesn't get attention.
Some transowmen are often shunned by their families. They turn to a criminal lifestyle like prostitution to stay alive.
Transgender women are 17 times likely to contract HIV from unsafe sexual practices as a prostitute.
Transgender women who work the stroll are likely to be victims of robbery, rape, sexually transmitted diseases, homelessness, and violent attacks from a transphobic person.
Some Black extremist from Florida traveled to Phoenix to plug his website and his man crush, Donald J. Trump.
Michael Symonette is a 40-something guy who got major attention on the social webs after he rose up his Blacks for Trump 2020 promo. He has done it many times and the inept leader noticed it.
He didn't recognize the guy holding it was the same guy who was at his campaign rallies before he took over as the leader of this goddamn country.
He is from Lakeland, Florida. He is a member of some Black extremist group called Yahweh ben Yahweh organization. It's called a Black nationalist religious sect. The Southern Poverty Law Center said that organization has done violent acts against its members.
Symonette goes by the name of Maurice/Michael the Black man and his government name.
Trolling Black extremist is a Trump supporter.
He seriously believed that Barack Obama is plotting an assassination attempt against him. I am assuming that he believe that Obama is involved in the "deep state" against Trump.
This guy is a criminal. Trump doesn't care. He needed that one Black person to help him misspell the notion that he's catering to White Extremists.
Symonette is a Republican and part of the Raging Elephants, a Black conservative organization devoted to helping elect Black Republicans to higher office.
People protesting the rally were hit with tear gas and some were arrested.
The rally in Arizona was extremely polarizing. Trump spend a portion of his rally criticizing the junk food media, John McCain, Jeff Flake, the slow walking of his agenda and his 2020 reelection.
Trump already declared he's intending on running for a second term.
Hillary Clinton thought of tagging Donald J. Trump as a creep on the campaign trail. She backed off because she believed he was digging his own grave.
You should have said something.
Former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton writes a book called What Happened. The book is slated to be released in September and it's going to be look back at her failed attempt at being the president.
Fresh off the bat, she said that Donald J. Trump is a "creep."
I was surprised that Trump won the election. Even after the Access Hollywood tape and rhetoric on the campaign trail. It didn't stop him from carrying the needed electoral votes.
Now as the leader of this country, Trump is very unpopular and he continues to blame everyone but himself for the gridlock looming in Washington. When he and Congress return back to work, he vows a government shutdown if the Congress refuse to pass a budget to fund the border wall and the full repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
If the election was a redo, Clinton would have won. But since there's no redoes, we have to deal with Trump for the next four or eight years.
A tell all book often comes a year after a losing candidate donates their campaign stuff to the African Union nations and the Washed Up Presidential Candidates Museum in Norton, Kansas.
Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney, John McCain, and Al Gore have a place in the Washed Up Presidential Candidates Museum.
Clinton decides to dust off that old keyboard of her computer to write a book. Her book will be a reminder to future candidates that 'being the pick" doesn't mean you're the winner.
Clinton details her quest to be the first woman to be on a major party ticket. Her frustration with the Democratic Party's ineptness when it came to grassroots campaigning. Her frustration with Bernie Sanders spreading falsehoods about her. Russia running a smear campaign against her. Of course, the easy ride that Trump got because he was a "shiny coin" and "ratings draw."
Also her anger at Trump to bring in Bill Clinton accusers at the debate.
Morning Joe details the book excerpts.
The book detailed how she felt when Trump was coming around her.
"Now we were on a small stage and no matter where I walked, he followed me closely, staring at me, making faces," Clinton said.
She thought she could hit the pause button and ask everyone in the audience, "what would you do?"
"Do you say calm, keep smiling and carry-on as if he weren't repeatedly invading your space? Or do you turn, look him in the eye and say loudly and clearly, 'Back up you creep, get away from me!' I know you love to intimidate women, but you can't intimidate me, so back up."
She said that Trump made her skin crawled.
"It was incredibly uncomfortable he was literally breathing down my neck," said Clinton.
In the intro to the book, she stated that writing this book was one of the most uncomfortable things she's done. She outlines why she felt that she let Americans down. She believed that Americans in the rust belt were her downfall. She felt that the so-called Democratic Blue Wall was a junk food media driven narrative. She lost Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
She vows to oppose Trump and Mike Pence.
"Writing this wasn't easy. Every day that I was a candidate for president I knew that millions of people were counting on me and I couldn't bear the idea of letting down. But I did. I couldn't get the job done. And I'll have to live with that for the rest of my life," Clinton said.
