So the real news is only four Republicans broke with Trump, nowhere near the 2/3 or 67 votes it would take to force through legislation overturning the ban and overriding a veto....
Dear Senator John "Fake War Hero" McCain:
I hope this letter finds you well, and your cancer treatment progressing successfully.
The U.S. Department of Defense is an agency of the executive branch of the U.S. government. As such, it comes under my authority as the President of the United States and the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces. It does not come under the authority of a corrupt U.S. Senator and failed presidential candidate from Arizona.
Sincerely,
President Donald "Covfefe" Trump
P.S. -- I'll send out my policy directives to the agencies under my authority however I damn well please.
P.P.S. -- Make America Great Again!!
The commander in chief (President Trump) has the final say in this matter.
If the commander in chief says that there will be no accommodation for transsexuals in the military, then that’s it, end of discussion.
The military follows his orders, and the leftists are SOL.
If the DOD brass have a problem with that, then they can resign their commission, and make a plea to the 60+ million Americans who voted for President Trump.
Shut Up McCain, you did not need to even open your stupid trap about this, but you did...
Remember ‘Songbird’ you were the one stupid enough to fall for a russian prostitute fake story...
Mostly Senators who have nothing to lose.
Mission readiness and budget should be primary over feelings.
Good for the prez! 0b0z0’s in-your-face EOs to the military and the country were appalling. Reversing them is appalling to the commies. Fine with me.
One thing that worries me, some of the GOPe Senators may ‘collude’ to switch to dems and give the Senate to the commies just to get back at Trump.
It only takes three. Two of them were a no-vote for bringing the HC repeal to the floor of the Senate. They would be the media heroes who McPain will defend and give cover.
With schmukie Schumer as Majority Leader, an even ‘softer coup’ would be executed.
Thank god Trump did that. I don’t cosign the left’s transgender BS either. That emperor has no clothes.
Guys (humans with a wiener) that want to dress as women are, well, a bit weird, but whatever. I don’t get it, but they don’t bother me much.
But when you do that, and actually think you ARE a woman, that’s irrational. It means the dude is mentally Ill. There’s a diagnosis for it: gender dysphoria. Dude needs serious mental help.
Either way, he/she/it doesn’t belong in the military, period. It’s disruptive as hell, and not conducive to cohesion or unity during times of great stress, like war. And yeah, I’m ex military.
Kick them all out, let the chips fall where they may.
McCain, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, ripped the call and said that Trump shouldn’t be making policy announcements via tweet.

Sorry, hero-boy... it isn’t up to you.
In separate statements, GOP Sens. John McCain (Ariz.), Joni Ernst (Iowa), Richard Shelby (Ala.), and Orrin Hatch (Utah) all criticized Trump for his decision that Obama-era rules allowing transgender troops to serve would be reversed — Obama-era rules, you mean an executive order, which the current President is not bound by.
So to quote General Kelly “If lawmakers do not like the laws they’ve passed and we are charged to enforce — then they should have the courage and skill to change the laws. Otherwise they should shut up and support the men and women on the front lines,” Mr. Kelly said in a speech Tuesday at George Washington University, where he laid out priorities for the sprawling department he took over three months ago.
Granted his comments were about immigration, but it absolutely can be used in this situation as well — Why don’t these a$$holes sponsor legislation and get it through the House and the Senate so the President can sign it...Quit being cowards and sitting on the sideline, put your money where your mouth is or shut up....
Screw them all. Damn RINOs.
Joni Ernst has proven to be a total disappointment.
Maybe she should stick to castrating hogs.

Ernst, Shelby and Hatch. Hmmmm.............on this issue, I’d say them being against this transgender ban certifies them as Democrats.
Good. Primary them out. Don’t let them forget this issue. The normal sane service members NEVER wanted this circus thrust upon them.
OK, make a law, try to pass it and see if you can get elected again.
Congratulations, President Trump! You’re making them lay bare, before their constituents, who they really are. Party be damned!
They are not GOP senators....they are puppets for their money masters. Traitors the whole lot of them. Lamp-post!
Yes, let freaks into our military.
It doesn’t seems if these rhinos are criticizing the actual decision keeping trannys out. It appears they’re criticizing the way he delivered the message. sounds like a bit of cya.
I am surprised at Joni Ernst since she has a military background. Then again, she did support Rubio.
