I am fully supportive of transgender to be allowed to bomb other people just like the rest of us.

My daughter read this and said 'wait, what, gay people were once banned from the military too?' Like it was the most insane thing she'd ever heard.

Did you explain 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' to her? If so, I would love to here the explanation because that was just weird.

I fully expect that this is going to die in, if not the first, a second or third ditch of equality legislation.

Now because of this and AB's dualism on the Searching for God thread, I have has a sudden vision of a homunculus Trump. A bit like the dwarf in The Singing Ringing Tree but even scarier.

I think Trump is making a call out to his loyal base, as he has been struggling of late. So he thinks he can keep support with stuff like this. Don't forget that I hate gays as much as you do, (but he can't say that).

So it is fine to touch a woman inappropriately, but terrible if the poor chap discovers it is another guy!

YE GODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well it was a spoof - but that was the point of it.

It is hard to work out what is factual and what is false where Trump is concerned. So much of what he says and does in reality is surreal, to put it mildly!

This is very true!

It appears Trump's administration is getting more authoritarian by the day, which is most concerning. With him at the helm, the US will soon cease to be a democracy!

If that happens then the Separation of Powers will no longer exist.

The Constitution of the USA can cope with a national politico-pathology like Trump - he does not control Congress or the Judiciary.

You couldn't make this up really. It would probably get rejected by producers of West Wing as too fantastical a story line.
