And it boils down to the whole, they shouldn't have gone or drank in the first place.

Drinking and having fun is fine. My point is that going a million different places to do so greatly increases the chances of this kind of thing happening.

Do these people not realize that he's reverting to a policy that was in place one year ago?

The issue is that when that policy was ended, many trans soldiers felt safe to out themselves and are now being punished for following past policy.

"This is like someone told the White House to light a candle on the table and the WH set the whole table on fire,” said one senior House Republican aide."

I mean, that's trump in a nutshell.

Also, as someone pointed out earlier - why does they military care about trimming these costs when literally every other aspect of the budget is larger? I understand that they need to spend a hot 84 mil on boner pills because they love waving their dicks around, but this is like tearing a steak in half to remove a tiny piece of fat in the middle while ignoring the inch of fat along the side.

Quite a major generational & cultural divide in how the media covered that McCain speech. https://t.co/C0kQsSFs8R https://t.co/Tc3juFZzIW

McCain Punditry Mini-Rant

Part of why McCain does what he does: There’s a generational and philosophical divide in how he’s covered by the press.

Among younger and less traditional reporters on Twitter — especially on the left but by no means exclusively so — a lot of people arepointing out McCain’s inconsistencyin scolding McConnell’s process but nevertheless voting for the motion to proceed.

On CNN, however, the commentary about McCain’s speech was glowing. And the commentary has also been very warm in Twitter comments we’ve seen from older reporters at the major news networks and at newspapers like The Washington Post.

I really wish he hadn't voted for the MTP, but McCain's speech was really good:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/07/25/full-text-john-mccains-senate-floor-speech/509799001/

Hopefully some people take it to heart.

He called for a return to Senate regular practice immediately after voting to proceed on a bill that was written completely outside the bounds of Senate regular practice. He's a goddamn hypocrite.

Yeah, the whole thing doesn't really make much sense. This had to be for some kind of optics to say they 'won' something, but I'm not really sure to what end?

The strange thing to me is that many progressives seem to be playing along? I see lots of people treating this like they "lost."

I think that's mostly due to the fact that a lot of people don't seem to really understand what was actually just voted on.

personally, it's that any time is spent on this dumpster fire at all

Trump & Sessions, two studies in weakness. Trump won't fire the AG though he wants him gone. Sessions won't stand up for himself. Truly weak

If nothing else, 2017 has shown that republicans are just as spineless as democrats. They only appear strong because they bully those who can't fight back.

Side note: I don't understand how the Republicans in Congress could see what Trump is doing to Sessions now and not understand that he will throw any and all of them under the bus at any point where he thinks it would advantage him.

I do wonder if perhaps his bargaining skills were overblown during the campaign. He acts more like a mob boss than a businessman.

~Peaf~

His policy ideas are based on feels over reals, but he still respects the law and institutions far more than trump does.

He wants to keep his job, so it makes sense that he isn't bad mouthing the boy who can fire him whenever he pleases.

It's funny because most gop congressmen did much better in their districts than trump did.

Also, scaramucci is very quick to abandon his beliefs if it means he gets some power:

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/07/23/politics/kfile-scaramucci-trump-column/index.html

"Unbridled demagoguery has driven the GOP to an inflection point from which there is no turning back," Scaramucci wrote in a January 2016 op-ed for FoxBusiness.com titled "The Bankruptcy and Restructuring of the Republican Party."

...

"Call it, if you will, a moral debt restructuring, one caused by the reckless behavior of a man who knows a thing or two about bankruptcy," he continued, in a thinly veiled reference to Trump.

BREAKING: Treasury fines Exxon Mobil $2 million for violating Russia sanctions while Secretary of State Tillerson was CEO.

The 2 million is nothing more than a slap on the wrist, but surely tillerson should recuse himself from dealing with Russia in any manner. We have solid proof that in the past, he has acted against US state interests.

In the same interview, Mr Trump rounded on Mr Sessions.

The attorney general recused himself from overseeing the Justice Department's Russia investigation in March, after failing to disclose at his confirmation hearing at the Senate that he had met Russia's ambassador to the US.

The president said: "How do you take a job and then recuse yourself? If he would have recused himself before the job, I would havesaid, 'Thanks, Jeff, but I'm not going to take you'."

Mr Sessions has not yet commented on Mr Trump's remarks.

Let the entire party burn. Even sessions is too ethical for trump, and he's stuck in the 80s with his DOJ policies.
