IN A WORLD ... where Donald Trump says one reasonable thing in a lifetime of saying non-reasonable things, there is one man brave enough to call him out on that thing. And that man is Ted Cruz . During an appearance on the Today show last week, Donald Trump was asked how he felt about North Carolina's dumbass law meant to regulate where trans people are allowed to pee, and he was all
Wingnuts' "common sense" assumption is that if you remove all the gender restrictions from bathrooms, obviously it follows that dangerous predators are going to get in there, and do their dangerous predatory things to their wives and daughters. *
Oddly enough, there's no one categorizing predatory restroom shenanigans as "an epidemic." There's no evidence it has even happened.
Now, contrast that to the overabundance of evidence that dangerous predatory nuts have obtained guns, quite legitimately, and gone about doing their dangerous murdery things with those guns. At levels that could be described as "epidemic." You don't even have to invent some hypothetical strawman murderer-with-a-gun stories, like you do with hypothetical she-predator-with-a-moustache.
If wingnuts had any consistency at all, you'd be able to point out to them the obvious threat posed by guns being allowed into the hands of loonies, and convince them to act with at least as much urgency as these bathroom bills._ _ _
* They apparently aren't concerned that their restroom gender restrictions would, in theory, now put their young sons directly in the path of those same hypothetical dangerous predators, but that's a discussion of a different color.
I'm going to get struck down dead because I had to explain to an elderly ex-coworker on FB (I need to weed the garden soon) why the toxic memes she kept posting were no bueno. This is what she said:
"...opening girls bathrooms to men/boys/whatever opens the doors to perverts. Bad people take advantage of any situation that meets their agenda and this is a recipe for disaster. As well, I don't go into the restroom at home with males, not even my husband, and I don't want to be in a public restroom with men, period. We didn't get a choice in the matter..."
I tried to explain to her one more time, that it wasn't men that she would be sharing the bathroom with, after she noted that an apple isn't a pear (???) but then I gave up. This is what you're dealing with - people married 50 years who change in the dark before going to bed. You will never get them to understand; it is way too frightening. And to your point, this is what she was forwarding, addressed to "real men". And holy shit could the meme-maker have picked a creepier cowboy to deliver the message?
"Ted Cruz would probably really appreciate it if we all sent him weekly diaries of our own emissions. Including where we went, who was in the bathroom with us, whether or not we saw their birth certificate, and a detailed description of our own stools."
They're obsessed with pee. Ever notice that the economy was way better back before they started all the pee-testing? Maybe the stoners were the ones doing all the work.
I wonder if they'll bring out the death panels for violaters. The bible says ... nothing.

Golden Showers?
Ted is a poopy-head.
Sorry, I save the tricks for when I'm pissing off of a balcony.
Maybe it is for the best if the Aliens come to earth to destroy us.
Obviously, we must all go out a prescribed distance from our homes and dig our own hole with a wooden paddle as the Bible commands. Problem solved!

Well, that's FAIL with Rafael.
With a Wide Stance.
Done it, will do it again

So, Wonkers, are we on doing this?
ew
Truss Ted. Works for me!
We all knew this would turn into a pissing contest.
