'Toontime: The Twitted Government

BC Idonwanna sez: Big mistake give him driver's license!
The first thing hard-line general John Kelly did was fire the Trumpster's newly hired communications director, who's poor taste exceeds even that of his boss. Kelly will attempt to reign-in his commander's undisciplined communications, imposing a sort of "radio-silence" on the west wing of the White House.  It will take a Marine general to accomplish this task.  Trump's penchant for taking to the airwaves was his announcement of a trans-gender ban for the military after being "slow-talked" by his aides for weeks on the issue.  They rightly raised a host of problems with the idea.  According to Politico, Trump told others they would have to “get in gear” if he announced the ban first, one White House adviser who spoke to Trump said. He also said the announcement would stop the lawyers from arguing with him anymore. There is still no plan in place for a trans ban and Defense Department officials have said they won’t implement the ban until guidance is given.  God help the United States of America.
