Lynch won't get within a mile of indicting the criminal Hillary Clinton, but will twist legalities in order to launch an attack on North Carolina.

This makes it sound like it is an actual physical attack, what are they going to do, arrest the governor?

An arrest.  If it were just a lawsuit it would be a legal action, not a law enforcement action.  It implies someone is breaking federal law by not allowing people to pee anywhere they want to pee.  Oh yeah....that must be that new Pee Amendment to the Constitution.

We the poopies!!!!

From my bare, quivering asscheeks!

No one is saying transgenders can't use bathrooms.  They just have to use the correct bathroom. If the feds are saying everyone gets to pee wherever they want to pee then oh boy, who needs bathrooms at all. Let's just join the dog world and find the nearest tree.

LOLOL :laugh:

:silly:  I can't believe the U.S. Justice Department is wasting time with this nonsense.

My wife came up with a compromise, to have a single small bathroom designated as a "trans-bathroom". However, I pointed out that transgenders want to be accepted as real women and would probably never accept that. She didn't have a response.

So the bathroom wars have begun I guess.

So far it has not started. She's 1/2 hour late. I cannot wait to see what they come up with. Maybe they'll send tanks in? I await with baited breath.

Lynch Light weight Lib.  Bobby Kenendy would have sent the troops in to enforce this right.  We can not, and will not continue to have seperate but equal shitholes.  This is a breach of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

How will Trump straddle this? N Carolina or The USSA DOJ?

How many times will he walk back whatever he initially says?

 It is beyond ridiculous.  Men should go into the men's room.  Women should go into the women's room.  Those that are transgender, confused, lesbian, gay, should go into a bathroom labeled LGBT!  It is what it is.  Let the 'confused' stare at each other, trade stories, get their jollies with each other, I really don't care, but leave the heterosexuals alone!!  Stop infringing upon my rights!

This whole gender neutral bathroom thing has gotten so absurd on both sides, I have no idea what to make of it.  The conservatives want to legislate a solution for something that as far as anyone can tell is not a problem, and the left wants to use the law to protect and patronize its every constituency group, regardless of how ridiculous the proposal.

Welp, a fully physically male dude was in a Washington State pool, and start undressing in the locker room in front of women and some minor girls. Cops were called but said they could do nothing, it was now a "right" in Washington state.

This doesn't affect me, as I"m a guy and don't have any daughters yet. But if you think that Americans will accept crap like this, I really want some of whatever you're smoking.

That makes me think, we read how in Iran, they have secret ethics police (ISIS does that too but they are beyond the pale), this is kind of like this, just in the opposite direction.

Iran's secret ethics spying police have just been in the news.

They won't.  But since this affects women a lot more than men I think the better strategy is to let the left have its way until it DOES become an issue with its prime constituency group, and then take action.  As it is, it just looks like a reactionary thing.

Now, see there's the problem, and why they pick "issues" like this.  We seem petty and silly pushing back against some poor little trans guy in a skirt wanting to use the women's room.  And, we will still seem petty and silly pushing back on the next one and the next one, and each one of the silly little issues moves the goal posts a little farther until we're not even in the stadium any more and wondering how it happened.

Yeah it looks. And tell the truth, you thought it was too. THis isn't gay marriage. Totally different issue and asking people to put up with a lot more. Also affects women more, who are usually the most vociferous gay rights people I know.
