Discussion: Trump's Navy Secretary On Transgender Troops: 'Any Patriot' Should Serve

Why does Spencer hate America so much?

Hey speaking of sarcasm, and yes that question above was meant as sarcasm for those that took offence, the Democratic slogans at the start of this clip are pretty damn funny even if the one above wasn’t.

It’s almost like tweeting out an idiotic brain fart to settle an argument between WH factions isn’t a good idea.

“Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer said that despite President Trump’s intended transgender military ban, ‘any patriot’ should be allowed to serve.”

So he’s banning Comrade Donald?

any patriot that wants to serve and meets all the requirements should be able to serve

How unfortunate that we can’t apply the same standard to the highest office in the land.

Thanks for speaking up for American values, Secretary Spencer. May many others in a position of authority follow your lead.

any patriot that wants to serve and meets all the requirements should be able to serve in our military

Now that’s a message. Everything that matters, in a few words, with no extraneous issues raised or addressed.

I especially like the way “any patriot” is inclusive without any mention of any specific subgroups that it includes. To me, it is a message that is supporting transgender members rather than defending them. I think it is very effective positioning on the issue.

Dems need to learn to do this.

Hooray for Spencer!

LOL @ “Let us win one, or we’ll run Chelsea.”

Weasel wording. Says all should serve if they meet the requirements, but will carry out change in those requirements if ordered to. A principled stand would be opposing the suggested move and say you will resign if ordered to.

Somewhere in the nomination process, Trump must have gotten his Richard Spencers confused.

Was just coming here to say, I saw “Navy Secretary Richard Spencer” and thought… well, let’s just say I narrowly avoided a cranial explosion. o_0 Then I noticed the “V” which is all too close phonetically to a “B” anyway. Yikes.

Guess it shows you can’t go by a name. Good work, Secretary Spencer, sir.

's’ok. The Don, of course, never wanted to, and still doesn’t.

Serve is a word missing from his admittedly-tiny vocabulary.

Trump: I agree. Only White males are patriotic enough to serve. I will take the blacks as well as someone has to fight and die.

I dunno.
I’ve seen a picture of him playing tennis, so he might be OK with thenword in that context.
That said, Photoshop is actually a thing.

Wow. I can’t imagine a guy who needs (needs) a golf cart just to get around the links – or keep up with European heads of state who are walking – actually playing tennis. Unless he does that from a golf cart as well. I think you’re on to something with the Photoshop thing.
