Fix their own countries lol that's not even a blip in their thought process, why would they want to fix something that they already ruined when they can just come ruin ours and get paid to do it. when you can make terrible places even worse imagine what they can do to our country in an extremely short amount of time

These non-americans are leeching to the U.S for a long time that they get really comfortable with not facing the consequences

Guantanamo Bay exists so that the US government can do things on Cuban soil that it can't legally do on US soil under their own laws. The US has no moral authority over any country, and its time other countries stop acting like they do.

Time to get tough put them in prison.

The VA should’ve given HIM mental health assistance a long time ago. That’s the real issue for this particular case.

According to statistics, in 2024 in the US surgeons accidentally cut off the wrong legs 3400 times. And have you seen Apple's market capitalization?

Better carry your paperwork on you if you have dark skin before name, you might find yourself being rounded up. One man was already picked up at a restaurant at work. He had a green card legally allowed to be here. Didn’t stop them from dragging away think about being held for 8 to 12 hours Being legally allowed to be here or being an American citizen and your family not knowing where you’re at the last time Donald Trump was in office. American citizens were deported south of the border and two were shot in the living room. One gentleman was deported an American citizen who had diabetes. They deported him yet no medication on him no money to country. He didn’t know he died on the streets. Please stop thinking it can’t happen to you Donald Trump right now is rounding up American Indians Navajo and Saint American citizens it’s time to call your son your senators your governors. It’s time to speak out. Stop standing there, thinking it won’t happen to you.

That is not a woman simple. Democrats keep on pushing bullshit agendas you will not be in power for a long time ridiculous

I lost my best friend. Not the only one. Sad AF. Whoever is spreading the lies that trans people are raping and attacking people, is just outright evil. And ya frankly, peoples business is their business. If doesn’t affect you, if you don’t have firsthand experience being raped and attacked, stop having an opinion. You are not ENTITLED to ignorant opinions. You, and everyone else, are entitled to human rights. Stop inciting violence on each other every time trump makes shit up to trickyou in to taking your money.

Do you take medication daily? Thats what renshaw was talking about, bot your surgery recovery time. I think the biggest question is: what happens if your plane is shot down over China or Iran, for example..??

“It can take a minimum of 12 months for an individual to complete treatments after so-called transition surgery, which often involves the use of heavy narcotics,” the White House document about Trump’s new trans military order states. “In this time, they are not physically capable of meeting military readiness requirements and continue to require consistent medical care. This is not conducive for deployment or other readiness requirements.”\n\nThe document alleges that Biden’s order undoing Trump’s last restriction on trans people serving in the military ordered the Department of Defense to “pay for service members’ transition surgeries, as well as those of their dependent children — at a cost of millions of dollars to the American taxpayer.”

Soldier not cookie cutter. If they from out of town, watch a movie, some might ask for possible military discount, some will not. My cousin, who a Marine, not into what he call 'he/she.' But. Maybe he no think Navy Cmdr. Shilling, 'cookie cutter' trans. A military, can find a place for everyone, like IDF find place for female tank brigade, kill 100 Hamas Oct 7, no casualty of their own. IDF kick our ass in conventional war, cuz 'warrior' interwoven way of life for Israeli. When we like, only so and so can defend our nation, like Shilling say, it will leave 'holes' in the armed forces. Some people like her, irreplaceable. Anyone, who speak civilly with Collins, no interrupt, compulsively, like all manner of powerful male who interviewed by her, not a male. The 'not knowing' to Congressman, the main issue he have. She a female? She not a female? In spirituality, 'not knowing,' as in experience of WHO you are, is where you want to be. Something 'known' and it time to move on. It like ask decorated Congressman about eye patch. Who dumb enough talk about something, not gonna get better?

We went through this 8 years ago! These people save lives and defend our citizens.. The new administration's silly arguments are wasting time, money, and energy (AGAIN) and it's insulting to the people who serve this country... Just another tactic to distract us

Knee surgery comparison is a poor comparison. You chose self inflicted medical down time. The individual requiring knee surgery did not. You took down time because changing your gender identity was something you felt you needed, which isn't putting the service of your country first. I don't choose myself over my people - period. I don't believe that is the merit of a good leader. I don't believe the excellence in your skill set comes from an inability to establish personally what gender you want to be. Results in combat and protecting what's right in the air and on the battlefield have little to do with wanting to be a woman or a man. Get the job done, be a silent operator. It seems to me, that you care more about your gender than you do about your service to your country. I hope in the end, you get everything your heart desires. I truly do. But I hope you recognise that the world isn't fair. I don't think this piece by CNN is more important than covering what's going on in the lives of those suffering that need the air time more than this individual. Further more, the reporter - she just looks like an angry woman who isn't getting what she wants. She doesn't appear to be unbiased at all. It's not a good reflection for the CNN. I think fair reporting is fair, I also believe one should come across as unbiased when reporting fairly, here the reporter has failed to do so in my opinion. Out

Had to drop by The failing news network CNN to see how you all are holding up. LOL HAHAHAHAHAHA It is exactly how I expected! Get used to the Trump train people. Daddy T is home kids and I can see a lot of conflict and sad sour faces here. Guys Its time to MAGA!!!!!!!!!! MAGA MAGA MAGA!

*TIME TO OFFER BOUNTY FOR INFORMATION ON ILLEGALS!!* ???

Emilio it's time to retire.

It's almost as if those people shoulden't have been there in the first time

This was during Sleepy Joe Biden’s presidency. He allowed this to happen. Actually, the whole democrat party did. During Obama’s time, they were cracking down on illegal migrants, even Hillary spoke against it. But when Biden got into office, he opened the border wide and said, “Come in. We welcome you.” And most of these migrants were not vetted, no paperwork, drugs flowed freely with them along with trafficked women and children. This was an allowed invasion to serve the political interest of the democrats. But glad to know President Trump has closed the border and deporting these illegals. 2025 is the time to get our country back.

Pay attention USA. This will be you in a few years time if Trump gets his way.

Long time ago

The stats are undeniable. trans Soldiers can’t meet current medical readiness standards. They are non deployable for very extended periods of time due to meds alone.

I feel sorry for the hard working innocent working class. At the same time..I get it.

The sane veteran deserved at least as much air time as the trans-identified male.

And there it was republicans and dis or misinformation. It’s always that while they lie all the time

I guarantee most people have met a transgender and didn't even know it. I took a course at work and both instructors had transition from female to male. You would never know unless they told you. Im not sure why people want to fight people being who they want to be. They don't impact anyone eles and just want to live their lives. Stupid how Republicans have made this an issue. What about guns that are killing people every day?? What a waste of time going after trans people like they are killing people or something.

Look Emily, get boonked and lubed on your own time ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

As a combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, multiple times, I completely agree with the president’s anti-trans policy in the military. Soldiers have a hard enough job as it is much less stacking on some DEI nonsense. That’s only gonna take time away from their training and ultimately DEI is going to 100% negatively affect the mission and their safety. Of personally over a 10 year period served with a couple gay and lesbian Service members and never once was what they did in the privacy of their own bedroom ever an issue or counter to the mission but this new age woke DEI nonsense is completely counterproductive, dangerous, And disrespectful to the non-DEI service members. The simple act of picking an unqualified, military leader, who’s responsible for the care and lives solely on the gender, ethnicity, religion, or pronoun, and not on merit, experience, competency, or any of the other real requirements for a military leader is literally the most irresponsible, dangerous, and disrespectful thing you can do to the men and women who have literally dedicated their life for years in service of our country! There’s absolutely no excuse on this planet that would make it ok. Being a service member in combat is already the most stressful job on the planet, but to make them take their focus off of the immediate threat to focus on political correctness or someone’s magical mystery pronoun while trying to prioritize and mitigate threats and combat is the most asinine and literally dangerous Nonsense I’ve ever heard!??????

Transgenders are f’d up???? They need to accept reality and be the gender between their legs NOT how the FEEL?? at the time based on how they FEEL???

When I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, I was discharged from the naval reserve ... even though I was on a 1 pill per day regimen at that time. Somehow, hormone therapy looks like a lot larger medical stretch than a pill in the morning.

Time to deploy Mace Drones ? the Biden administration must have really misinformed and handed out our country’s resources for political gain.

Standards change with time. As culture (and possibly the next DSM) reconsiders a small population of (likely pharmaceutically-dependent) transitioners as mentally ill, I expect military risk analysis will follow suit.

No is something everyone should hear from time to time in their life…sorry

About time

You spend too much time on issues of such little concern. This is one of the reasons that so many people have turned on CNN and why many have voted for Republicans in the last election. Frankly if I was transgender, treated the way they are by Republicans, I would quit the military.

Call yourself whatever the hell you want and dress however the hell you want on your time. Dress code regulations will be enforced when you are on shift. \n\n^ All that needs to be done to return to sanity and reality.

First let me say that I fully support anyone who is fully physically capable of doing whatever job that they are either enlisted to do or has been assigned to do within the military. \n\nIn a time where special forces doesn't mean bulked up freakishly high endurance or specific physical requirements are necessary.\nSpecial ops nowadays is also about mental acumen and ability to assess the entire picture and it is absolutely well known that certain physical factors are required to be on the front lines but to remove a very capable force that is a force multiplier in a time where it's absolutely needed and cannot be replaced quickly or even adequately is doing a massive disservice to our military and the citizens of this country just for the sake of a small group of individuals with small minds that couldn't step into that vacant position and adequately fill it with the same caliber of talent regardless of how they identify themselves!\nBeing the most lethal fighting military requires many talents and to remove those talents from the soldiers they support is absolutely hurting our military in ways that will take decades to rectify!\nThat soldier on the ground calling in drone strikes to get his or her soldiers out of the danger isn't going to care if they are trans or identify as LGBTQ only that they are able to safeguard their soldiers in whatever way they have been trained to do..\nOur military needs to be the most diverse in order to be the most lethal in the most diverse situations throughout the worlds stages!

Trump shut up already. You were to scared to serve. the only thing you can serve would be jail time

Thank you for your service❤❤❤❤ To give your life for your country is a HUGE commitment! This woman has served multiple times!!,

And let me be very clear let the Republicans and the Republican party family members friends and loved ones let them strap up their boots and weapons and go fight and protect us what we have been doing for hundreds of years losing our families fathers and mothers cousins and uncles to protect these white supremacists and these people don't care nothing about us it's time to wake up my brothers and sisters and see the light resigned quit your jobs right now before it's too late it's time to wake up and see the light people let them send a white privilege Elon musk and all of these billionaires and their family on the front line

I'm sick of hearing Republicans rant about 'their freedoms' while doing this at the same time.

Trump is a 5 time draft dodger he doesn’t care about America he cares about himself

In this world is much much more good things to do, we do have time to discuss for this but make no sense, he and she cans be shehim? So all liberal media shut the hell up and talk about economy and health. As legal immigrant FJB and MSNBC and cnn make me to vote for Trump

Come on let's go to this racist horrible country who hates us. So we can start from the bottom and work hard for everything. \n\nNot all of those statements can be true at the same time.

Times they have to slow down .

USA is the land of the free welcoming people from all countries!!! HOWEVER ?NOT the land FOR FREE LOADERS AND DEMANDING ENTRY BY FORCE !!!\nTHE TIME Spend CROSSING ILLEGALLY...... FOLLOW THE LEGAL PROCESS!!

Time for those people go home. Man killing a college student to become a nurse. I want them go home and work out country.

Maybe they should just build towers on the American side and I can't say what will be in these towels cuz every time I do YouTube skulls me for my point a view because YouTube squashes first amendment free speech

Mr. Trump you are the best president in this time thank you all teamwork

Let the countries of those immigrants use their own planes to take their people back. If they still don't take them back on time, then there will be a tax measure.
