Chelsea Manning, a transgender activist and former Army intelligence analyst who was imprisoned for leaking hundreds of thousands of classified U.S. documents, showed up to the White House on Thursday morning to protest President Donald Trump’s decision to ban transgender people from serving in the military.
Trump announced his decision to ban transgender service members on Wednesday via Twitter, spurring Manning to appear at the White House the following day to protest the policy change, the Washington Examiner reported.
Manning, a transgender woman who was formerly known as Bradley, posted a photo to Instagram in which she referred to the White House as the “new ground zero of the war on trans people.”
Trump made waves with his announcement on Twitter, in which he said that, after “consultation with my generals and military experts,” transgender individuals will not be allowed to serve in “any capacity in the U.S. military.”
The series of tweets drew immediate responses and criticism from reporters, celebrities, and lawmakers from both political parties.
The Department of Defense has indicated that it is not prepared to implement the policy change.
“There will be no modifications to the current policy until the president’s direction has been received by the secretary of defense and the secretary has issued implementation guidance,” wrote Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Manning initially responded to the president’s announcement by calling his decision “cowardice.”

I hope he plans on making the rounds of the bars in D.C. During the 25 years I worked in NY State’s prison system, there was little tolerance among the blacks for homos, and those who behaved like girls. Some homos would use powered red Kool-Aid to color their lips, and use other items for eye shadow. Hispanics had a higher rate of tolerance for homos within the prison system. When I first became a correction officer, there was an older Hispanic inmate that had gotten hormone shots and had breasts. He was uglier than sin. None of the other inmates really wanted to have anything to do with him, and they constantly made jokes about him.
Sounds like he's got a regular scam going.

and always and of course
Article 134 Prejudicial to the good order and discipline of the unit.
for starters.
Shoot, shoot, shoot it now!...
Sometimes, violence is the only answer.
From what I understand, a transsexual has had or is planing to have plastic surgery and is taking hormones. A transgender just "feels" like a woman or a man or whatever.
A transgender can feel like he one day, she the next or decide they are both at the same time.
What does “showed up at the White House” mean? Was he inside the fence? inside the building? or at a protest location outside the fence?
Well that settles it, Trump needs to repeal his transgender ban for the military because a deserter said so.
Find a veterinarian and have them put that poor miserable thing down. Miserable in that it makes anyone looking at it miserable.
Maybe, but if Obungler and his minions, wanted to keep him quiet, they would simply have him commit Arkancide.
Not to change the subject or anything, but what's the latest news on that other POS, Bergdahl?
I have to say at least Bruce Jenner tries to look like a girl. This Bradley doesn’t at all and what the hell is the hashtag for???????
I was just thinking the same thing or perhaps a state could charge him with screwing over all of us who live in various states. This way some liberal President someday can’t pardon this cretin and would have to do time entirely.
“Can President Trump revoke Manning’s sentence commutation???”
NEVER. And to be honest I am glad....has nothing to do with this denigrate, but to ensure that Presidential pardon is absolute and it should be.
I remember when Cindy Sheehan was all over DC protesting the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Fat lot of good it did.
Obama released him with his instructions
Believe it or not, she came close to ousting Nancy Pelosi from her seat in Congress.
Wearing a pink mini skirt? Beyond disgusting.
Thank you Obama for releasing this piece of crap. He should have gone before a firing squad.
