House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday slammed President Trump’s call to ban all transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military and vowed to fight the president’s proposal.

“69 years ago, President Truman desegregated the US Military. This morning, @POTUS turned anti-#trans prejudice into policy,” Pelosi wrote on Twitter. “.@realDonaldTrump’s decision to ban transgender Americans from the military is a vile attack on brave individuals defending our country.”

Pelosi said it is “disgusting” to see members of the LGBT community “devalued for a hateful political agenda.”

Amen to your #12. Also appropriate is this verse:

"Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall."

Proverbs 16:18

One thing in life is certain: Anything San Fran Nan is against is good for the country!

9th circuit case, no doubt

As soon as I read President Trump's order, I said that this is one of the things Sessions has been working on behind the scenes...preparing for battle in the courts.

Sessions take would have been completed BEFORE Trump spoke. He guides the President.

Remember, Sessions got the President's Travel Ban approved by the USSC.

“Hate” is so simple...as simple as the race card or “[fill-in-the-blank]-phobe.” It requires no intellect or critical thought, just intellectual laziness. Plus, it unfortunately resonates with a large fraction of the population which has zero critical thinking skills. Any leftist can join the fun by donning black, fisting, and screaming:
* HATER
* RACIST
* FASCIST
* HOMOPHOBE

Pelosi blasts Trump's transgender order: 'Hatred will never defeat pride'

Curious twisted Liberal logic.

'Hatred will never defeat pride', but those who show pride in such patriotic things as MAGA and chanting 'USA USA USA' receive the ire and scorn and hatred of the Liberals.

This is what bothers me about these F#$%#$% libs.

ANY disagreement with them is automatically branded as HATE.

Tell you what Nancy, you want to know what hate is?

Why don't you go over to where ISIS is and spew your views about LGBTQ rights and watch what happens.

HATE is when a gay man is burned alive just for being gay.(or Christian)

You'll know hate when your torture begins.

Pentagon doesn’t know anything about this...referring to WH.. Not sure what position Mattis has on it.

[KevinB]

I don't recall blacks being born white and changing their race to black, or vice versa....

Well there is this ...

Pride?

Pride?

Bwahahahahaha.

Pelosi is an ignorant slut.

Ignorant? Demonstrates it every time she opens her mouth.

Slut? How’d she purchase her senatorship? Boinking a rich guy. QED.

Hey Nanzi!

The democRAT party is a giant HATE GROUP.

[Rusty0604]

I don’t see how it would be illegal. People can’t join the forces if they have a medical condition, and it is not discrimination.

[RummyChick]

Mccain's statement...he needs to go home

[dfwgator]

Or....

[RummyChick]

“Sen Graham, member of Armed Services Cmte, says RE: transgender policy: “we should have a hearing, we should have an informed decision....”

[RummyChick]

Haley Byrd‏Verified account @byrdinator Lindsey Graham says there should be more discussion on military policy w transgender ppl. "We shouldn't make our decisions based on a tweet"

Born a poor black boy and died a rich white woman.

Pride is one of the seven deadly sins, you know. And if you regret the theology behind that ranking, it’s still easy to see why pride can be a bad thing.

McCain is such a pest.

Trump is the Commander in Chief and does not have to have the blessings of Congress to set policy.
