Well, Zika can cause brain damage to fetuses. Peak Wingnut is the result of a broken brain.Are you sure they're not different vectors of the same disease?
My husband and I were in Wilmington over the weekend. I'm not sure what the political climate is like there, but we stopped at a little place for breakfast one day, and saw this sign on the register:
"Since they are not an explicitly protected class, the owner of this restaurant reserves her rights under NC HB2 to deny service to any NC politician who voted for this bill and to the governor who signed it into law.
"You can't make the Flying Pi Kitchen discriminate against our LGBT customers."
While I'm disgusted by what's happened in NC (and, man, that covers a lot of things), it's great to see there are good people throughout my adopted state.
"According to Daily Mail, the accident happened when the captain of the plane, Bruce Kulka, decided to take a look at the weapon after having difficulties with its locking pin. While searching for the pin he decided to look in the bomb bay. But while he tried to hoist himself up he accidentally used the emergency bomb-release for handhold and the three-ton bomb was released."
Great. This is the definition of "great" I believe. LET'S MAKE UHMERIKA GREAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
It would have to one of those rooftop concerts like the Beattles did or off of a flatbed truck like old timey politicians used to do because if they do it in a concert hall, people just won't go.
This is the right frame for the problem. (a) No one wants someone who appears to be the wrong gender in the restroom with them. (b) No one seeing a transgender person will think much about their gender because they'll assume it matches their appearance. And (c) these people are already in the restrooms matching their appearance and not in the ones that match their birth certificate.
Of course, once the numb nuts signed the bill, it becomes law. He can't just issue an edict that undoes it. The executive does not have the ability to overturn laws through executive order.
Shoulda been thinking about this shitstorm before signing it. It wasn't like he hadn't had examples before this to learn from. Narcissism so thick that he thought it couldn't happen to NC? They would be special? Their law would be different?
Transgenders are the new wedge issue, now that gay marriage is no longer up for debate. That's progress, I guess--have the bigots move on to lie about and demonize someone else.
It's not that no one is talking about it, it's that it's gained so much acceptance, both legally and in the popular mind, that the bigots can no longer bash it and expect the same Pavlovian response.
Prayer hands. That helps.
Hmmmm, nice dodge but she still couldn't vote. I understand that this historical factoid is meaningless to some people.

So he tried to stop a gushing wound by putting a little Hello Kitty glitter sticker on it. Idiot.

You're right. No one is talking about gay marriage anymore.

He should really just Let It Go.
