Bi-weekly Bullshit 7/26/17: Trump Trans Ban, Sessions in Trouble?, 6 Months of CoffeeWithComment7/30/2017 Good Evening, Patriots! CoffeeWithComment here, and welcome the first part of this week's Biweekly Bullshit. Today is July 26, 2017. Hoooooo boy... Is there some bullshit happening! If you've seen the news today, or Twitter, or TV... or even bothered to get out of bed today; you'll know by now that Trump has come out and "banned transgenders from the military" in a series of tweets. That's probably going to take the bulk of our time today, so we'll get into that in a minute. Here is the list of today's topics: Trump Trans Ban AG Sessions in Trouble? 6 Months of CoffeeWithComment Trump Trans Ban So this is a clickbait title; because actually barring transgenders is actually already military policy. Not only that, Trump is really just agreeing with military recommendations- at least that's what WH Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says: [[Sarah HS clip]] So what do I mean when I say it's already military policy? There's a Looooooong list of things the Military uses to screen recruits; but I'll give you a few of the pertinent ones. Males: Missing Testicles Undescended Testicles Females: Irregular or no periods Mastectomy (breast removal) General: Intellectual Deficit Suicidal Behavior History of Psychosis Personality Disorders manifest by Drug or Alcohol Addiction Inability to adjust in work, school, or home environments History of drug/alcohol dependence In fact, one of the side effects of progestogen, a hormone used in transitioning, actually has depression listed as a side effect. Now, strangely, depression is not listed as a disqualifying psychiatric or neurological disorder; however- the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM - 5's definition of depression includes the following disqualifying criteria which ARE listed: suicidal behavior, as noted previously; and sleeping disorders (particularly insomnia or hypersomnia). I watched Styxhexenhammer666's video on this and he only focused on the cost of medical treatment for transgender people (including hormone replacement therapy and barring cosmetic surgical procedures while on active duty); which I agree, should not be funded by taxpayers. However... simply requiring transgender people to waive this kind of treatment doesn't really address the issue of whether they SHOULD serve or not. For one, Say you accept Transgenders into the military under terms they agree to be automatically disqualified for HRT and transgender surgeries- well you're now discriminating based on gender preference and you open yourselves up to a legal battle in the long run. The real problem though, one that comment sections on these videos and news articles keep bringing up is one issue I will always hold up as the main problem: Transgender people are mentally ill. To begin gender transition and therapy, you must have gender dysphoria. We had the DSM-V up here already today so let's flip to the page on gender dysphoria. Quote: "Symptoms of Gender Dysphoria DSM-5 states that the initial condition for the identification of gender dysphoria in both adults and teenagers is a noticeable incongruence between the gender the patient believes they are, and what society perceives them to be. This disparity should be ongoing for at least 6 months and should consist of 2 or more of the subsequent criteria (American Psychiatric Association, 2013): Noticeable incongruence between the gender that the patient sees themselves are, and what their classified gender assignment An intense need to do away with his or her primary or secondary sex features (or, in the case of young teenagers, to avert the maturity of the likely secondary features) An intense desire to have the primary or secondary sex features of the other gender A deep desire to transform into another gender A profound need for society to treat them as another gender A powerful assurance of having the characteristic feelings and responses of the other gender The second necessity is that the condition should be connected with clinically important distress, or affects the individual significantly socially, at work, and in other import areas of life." End Quote. So, they need to be coddled, you have to walk on eggshells around them; you have to give them shots to keep them happy; let them mutilate themselves because they think they are something they aren't... like this cat man. Listen, you don't need the internet or months of therapy or thousands in surgery or millions in research to know you're male or female. Pull down your pants, and look down. It's as simple as that. There are a lot of articles out there saying that the reason the Trans suicide rate is so high is because people don't accept it when you tell them something crazy. These Trans people, for whatever reason, can't handle reality. Well, I'll tell you what- I'm not suicidal because a bunch or morons call me racist, xenophobic, islamophobic, etc. That's because I'm a well-adjusted human being with a firm grasp on reality. If you're so firm that, say, even though you're genetically a man but want to be a woman- and this is Gospel truth to you; then let me ask you something: why, if everyone disagrees with you - that you're really a woman - on the inside - and you can't handle it to the point you're going to kill yourself over it? (as roughly 50% of you do)? Can you explain that to me? Maybe you can't because you're already dead. You don't have high suicide rates just because people don't accept your craziness as the media and everyone else wants to believe. It's because you have a serious fucking problem. That bullshit has no place in the military. Drill sergeant yells at you DROP AND GIVE ME 20- you going to stab yourself right there and then? Honestly I don't know why you'd want to serve in the military. Linked below is a list of statistics on PTSD, Traumatic Brian injury, and depression from combat veterans. It's honestly the more compassionate approach for your fragile mental states to keep you out of that environment, where you're a danger to yourself and those around you. So in closing on this topic- I agree with President Trump's agreement with the assessment of the Department of Defense on this issue. We can see our way around the medical costs issue- but in terms of disruption; allowing Trans people who BY DEFINITION have a mental disorder at the very least constitutes as "disruption". At this point, I'd like to open the floor to any Trans Trump supporters, get in contact with me via Twitter and let's talk about what you think about this stance within the Department of Defense and Trump's policy. AG Sessions is in Trouble? Many people are saying Trump's latest tweets on the Trans issue are an attempt to get the media talking about that rather than something else he's doing or about to do. Some even seem to think this is related to an imminent firing of Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Somehow I doubt this. I mean, I don't know THAT much about Sessions but I see him as an honorable kind of guy, if not quite old-fashioned. Maybe that's the "southern charm". Trump was apparently frustrated that Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation; and his handling of the situation. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani seems to be top choice for Sessions' replacement... but I'm still not buying it. Still, I won't advocate that Sessions should REMAIN as Attorney General. I mean the Russiagate bullshit is arguably the most important investigation in D.C. right now, and the top guy law-enforcement can't dig in to the investigation because of supposed accusations of his own collusion with Russia. I'd love to see Trey Gowdy take over for Sessions... but he's said he'd refuse the appointment at this time. So where do we stand with this? There's no clear answer. According to the Wall street journal, as of July 25th; Trump said he had no immediate plans to make any other adjustments to his top staff. But he's disappointed with him and sees him as ineffective. From Twitter, Quote: "Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!" End quote. I think the main problem is that Sessions just doesn't inspire people in the way that Trump continues to, or like Anthony Scaramucci has started doing. Without that groundswell support, I think he will inevitably be removed; and he probably will be if he continues to be what Trump sees as ineffective. After all, that is what part of what Trump promised, right? To make government work for WE THE PEOPLE. 6 Months of CoffeeWithComment That's right, patriots- Yesterday was my 6-month anniversary of starting this channel! Over the last six months, I've developed this news roundup, Bi-Weekly Bullshit; I worked in coordination with other YouTubers like Redbeard and 40oz and the Dual Hand Path; and the Content creator formerly known as Diary of a Modern Caveman and many others to create Manstreaming. I still shitpost on the regular, as with "Hello, I Am A Normie" from the other day and participating in the #CNNBlackMail Meme campaign; as well as create topical videos- although there's a bit less of that as I've stepped up my job search and also don't have livestream functionality. Yes, we've pissed off enough leftists together to earn a community guideline strike for "hate speech". Let's look at some stats. On YouTube; I have 448 subscribers and 48,967 (38,973) views on 177 videos. You've graced me with 402,973 minutes of your time watching my videos, Left 2,483 comments and 2,124 likes.

All in all, I'd say this is remarkable success in my first 6 months and I really appreciate your acceptance of me in this community. I know my delivery and presentation has improved, and I can only see it getting better. If you'd like to help my channel grow, I'd encourage you to share my videos in the online communities you frequent, and also comment below.
