Keeping his promise to lessen paperwork on businesses due to unnecessary gov regulations. Sounds like a win to me.

Well liberals, you refuse to accept that Trump is your president, so go complain to Hillary about it.

To smooch the butt of less than 2% of the American population, for “protection above and beyond what is defined in the U.S. Constitution for the other 98% of America”, was fool-hardy discrimination, and not necessary.

Morons, don’t they understand this is about reducing regulations on companies and therefore lowering costs?

Every American is protected from mistreatment in the work-place.

Now the LGBT folks will have to live under the same rules the rest of us do.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa /s

By removing the requirement that companies prove their compliance with federal law, the government has no way to ensure they’re also following the nondiscrimination requirements Obama explicitly laid out.

How does a company prove it is in compliance, if nothing comes up and there was no action to be taken?

What I see here is a move to eliminate the need for businesses to come up with some idiotic new idea to prove something was improved that wasn't in need of a fix.

So a federally mandated preference is “protection.”

Got it.

All my gay friends are freaking out about this on facebook.

Maybe you should have them over for hugs and chocolate.

Trump has been a friend to the homos, why are they freaking because Trump, (by removing the requirement that companies prove their compliance with federal law) is a homohater? Please! The requirement has been removed, (as it should have been) for a different and valid reason - it has nothing to do with what the queers do to each other in the privacy of their own dungeons!

“By removing the requirement that companies prove their compliance with federal law”

In other words he removed the “prove you stopped beating your wife” clause.

I don’t have any gay friends.

Even better - I don’t even know any gay people. Or maybe I do, but they have the common decency to keep it to themselves.

why do they need special protection?

 

Nailed it. Obama went too far and granted all sorts of freebies and benefits to the queers. Trump is just setting things straight.

Pun intended.

Exactly!

The complaint is that Trump is removing the lawyer-speak for "do what we say, or else" provision.

If their version of "protection" were applied to the first amendment, the Feds would be required to build churches.

There were a few guys out of the dozens that I had to work with in the city that I liked.

Low key, didn’t mention the lifestyle etc

But none would I consider calling on a Friday night to go hang out for drinks.

One guy had a party and had gals from the office were invited so i went.

The apartment was indescribably feminine.

They greeted us with some kind of flowing robes and sandals.

It was culture shock

Thank you for referencing that article ChicagoConservative27. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Patriots are reminded that the only sex-related right that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect deals with voting rights as evidenced by the 19th Amendment. And since LGBT issues are clearly outside the scope of voting rights, lawless Obama’s protection for LGBT workers was not only based on constitutionally nonexistent federal government powers, but consider the following.

Obama was also arguably violating the Constitution’s Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 which the Founding States had made in part to prohibit the feds from establishing privileged / protected classes which Obama was effectively doing with LGBT people imo.

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States [emphasis added]: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

But what’s arguably even worse than Obama’s action is that the uniparty Congress just sat on its hands and let Obama get away with his constitutionally questionable actions imo.

Getting back to Trump, and with all due respect to Trump, despite his rolling back Obama's politically correct LGBT protections, the following problem remains. Trump is arguably helping to expand the federal government’s powers, citizens probably not understanding that Obama didn’t have the constitutional authority to establish LGBT protections in the first place imo.

Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!

Remember in November ’18 !

Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.

Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist Supreme Court justices off of the bench.

Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.

While I Googled the primary information above concerning Iowa and New Hampshire, FReeper iowamark brought to my attention that the February primaries for these states apply only to presidential election years. And after doing some more scratching, since primary dates for most states for 2018 elections probably haven’t been uploaded at this time (March 14, 2017), FReepers will need to find out primary dates from sources and / or websites in their own states.

Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.

Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed below.
