Chelsea Manning Tweets Suicide Note and Picture of Herself on Ledge of a Tall Building
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Chelsea Manning
...formerly Bradley Manning before he decided to become a girl. He, or she or whatever it was, was a misfit Army intel analyst who decided to leak all the secrets he could lay hands on. Sentenced to 35 years in Leavenworth, he was sprung on an Obamapardon in 2017....
tweeted a suicide note and a picture of herself standing on the edge of a tall building on Sunday night.
Jump! Jump!
Manning, a Democratic Senatorial candidate, posted what appeared to be a suicide note on Twitter around 8:30 PM on Sunday.

Chelsea tweeted, "I’m sorry ‐ I tried ‐ I’m sorry I let you all down ‐ I’m not really cut out for this world ‐ I tried adapting to this world out here but I failed you ‐ I couldn’t do this anymore ‐ I can take people I don’t know hating me but not my own friends ‐ I tried and I’m sorry about my failure"

#1  ...Although it's not a 'always-happens', suicidal thoughts and actions are a serious problem in the trans community...because it's a hell of a shock to discover that you've gone through all that, only to find that it didn't make your life perfect, and in fact just made it more difficult.

And ol' Chelsea wasn't the most stable little thing to begin with.

#6  suicidal thoughts and actions are a serious problem in the trans community

As I recall, there is no significant difference between the rates of anxiety, depression, and attempted/completed suicide among those in the trans community who have gone through the surgery and hormones and those who remain comoletely as nature made them. And, as Dr. Paul McHugh of Johns Hopkins Medical School wrote a few years ago, after having studied the issue for forty years,

Ten to fifteen years after surgical reassignment, the suicide rate of those who had undergone sex-reassignment surgery rose to twenty times that of comparable peers.

#15  A talented writer named Jerzy Kosinsky had an interesting story about the struggles trannies face in a very weird book titled "Blind Date."

Unrelated to the subject of this comment, Kosinsky's novel "Being There," which was adapted to film, uncannily predicted the presidency of Barack Obama.

#17  Sad our society has branded as hatred any attempts to actually help the trans community work through the underlying problems. Just accept and blame society for the high suicide rates among the trans community.

Okay, maybe not that badly. But hey. A little badly.

-Land of the Free
Trump lacks the intelligence required for 'collusion' with Russia: Snowden
[PRESSTV] US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
lacks the level of intelligence that is required for "collusion" with Russia, says former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, noting that the ongoing Russian investigation by Special Counsel Robert Mueller won’t produce the results that Democrats hope for.

"I think people are asking for too much when they hope that the Mueller investigation is going to come up with kind of a smoking gun," Snowden told The Intercept. "You know that’s not how the world works, life is not that simple."

The former National Security Agency contractor said it was too "complicated" a process for a "wreckintg ball" like the Republican president to establish ties with Russia on such sensitive issues.

"And to be honest, everyone who has heard Trump speak for three minutes knows he’s a wrecking ball," Snowden said. "This does not sound like the kind of person that you would want to engage in some kind of complicated Manchurian Candidate ... the guy can’t even remember what he was going to say at the end of a sentence."

#3  Narcissist much, eh Snowden? Who's a self made billionaire businessman and President of the United States and who's a traitorous keyboard jockey trapped in a police state shit hole?
