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.

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.
