All his strokes are minor because he has tiny hands But as far as his hairball brain goes I guess it depends where the stroke does the damage but I'd guess we'd see his butthole rictus face get slightly lopsided and come of his unique manglings of words just become really drool slurs.

I'm glad the tumor in McCain's brain made him hit the no button on that vote. https://twitter.com/frankthorp/status/890816249373966336 (709,000 Arizonans would have lost healthcare tomorrow if he had voted yes) orange juche fucked around with this message at 07:14 on Jul 28, 2017 |

It just seems to me that they already had this issue dealt with pretty rationally. This is usually where I posit that there should also be more extensive screening for individuals seeking out gender reassignment surgery to rule out undiagnosed disorders on the schizoid spectrum, so we're not throwing the wrong pills at the wrong medical problem. Had a trans MtF patient who also believed she was a psychic vampire and that fairies are real. Their twin brother has a schizophrenia diagnosis. Couple of European studies indicating that 15%ish of transgender people have an undiagnosed schizoid disorder, concluding that we need better screening. BUT... most of the scientific research into transgender people shows that there are, on average, structural differences in their brains that lead them to being such. In particular, male-to-female trans people had brains that were "feminized" even before they began medical treatment or hormones. The structural differences were much less profound in female-to-male trans people, sometimes not even being present, which would account for the higher visibility of MtF trans people as there are more of them, and the stronger trend of women simply identifying as "non-binary" rather than as male. Genetic studies show that MtF trans people have a longer androgen receptor gene, causing testosterone to not bind as well, which causes incomplete masculinization of the brain. Twin studies show that identical twins had transgender confluence at 33% versus 2.6% for fraternal twins. To me, it appears that regardless of the source, this is an issue of biology. EDIT: Guess I'll cite my sources here: Diamond, Milton (May 2013). "Transsexuality Among Twins: Identity Concordance, Transition, Rearing, and Orientation". International Journal of Transgenderism. Bentz, E; Hefler, L; Kaufmann, U; Huber, J; Kolbus, A; Tempfer, C (2008). "A polymorphism of the CYP17 gene related to sex steroid metabolism is associated with female-to-male but not male-to-female transsexualism". Fertility and Sterility. 90 (1): 56–9 Luk Gijs, Ellis van der Putten-Bierman, Griet De Cuypere (2013) "Psychiatric Comorbidity in Adults with Gender Identity Problems".

Couldn't give a poo poo if trans people serve in the military or if tricare pays for their reassignment surgery. We waste far more money on far dumber things.

If someone asks you why trans people should be able to serve tell them the main reason is because it makes conservatives mad. Then see how they feel about the politics of spite.

Reverand maynard posted:I wonder if any senators will straight up defect to the democrats before all of this is over Hard to say, but Heller (R-NV) is royally hosed. He agreed to vote the way the Republican governor wanted (which Sandoval came out against all of this nonsense), waffled for a bit, and then gave in and voted along party lines. He's less popular than Trump is in Nevada.

Mavrick posted:"I've stated time and time again that one of the major failures of Obamacare was that it was rammed through Congress by Democrats on a strict-party line basis without a single Republican vote," McCain said in a statement. "We must now return to the correct way of legislating and send the bill back to committee, hold hearings, receive input from both sides of aisle, heed the recommendations of nation's governors, and produce a bill that finally delivers affordable health care for the American people. We must do the hard work our citizens expect of us and deserve." Glad he's back. Also holy hell there's been a lot of ads here in AK for Murkowski to vote no.

There has been absolutely zero positive arguments for why to vote for the piece of poo poo, as in "this bill will reduce premiums because x, y, z" outside of Trumpian lying. So anyone being honest/rational thought that even if they hated Obamacare, the "replacement" was terrible policy. Leaves a lot of room for normally quiet organizations to jump in and run ads like those. Still shocked that McCain followed through on what he said, especially when he voted for the piece of trash to start debate. The whole thing ain't dead until everyone agrees it's dead, but goddamn. I can't wait for the shitshow.

The biggest impact is that the Venezuelans are sitting on a oil reserve bigger then the Baaken field in North Dakota and the Ghawar field in Saudi Arabia. If poo poo goes sideways and the government is overthrown, oil prices will spike back to 2011 prices and Trump might send in the 22nd MEU to restore order and protect our interests.
