Donald Trump weighs in on the bathroom wars
Blasting News ^ | April 21, 2016 | Mark R. Whittington

Donald Trump had waded into one of the most bizarre controversies to have roiled American politics, that being whether or not transgendered people should be allowed to use the public bathroom according to the gender they identify with rather the one that biology has assigned them. North Carolina recently passed a law that mandates that people use the bathroom according to which gender is recorded on their birth certificate. The law has caused an uproar in the LBGT community. Some businesses and performance artists have decided to boycott the state, even those who do business and perform in countries that jail and execute LBGT people. Trump has come out against the law and suggests that it has caused unnecessary problems.

Lots of people surprised today by a liberal saying liberal things.

I agree with Trump. Why make it a law? We weren’t satisfied bringing judges into a woman’s uterus or our bedrooms. Now we it appears we need them in our bathrooms. We hang these big curveballs out for the left to hit out of the park.

How do you enforce this law anyway? Are we going to hire pecker checkers?

I couldn’t wait to see how the Trump supporters twisted this to be ok. They are voting for a guy that thinks it’s a okay to let perverts go into any bathroom they want with their loved ones. If you support that you aren’t a conservative.

In the same town hall he talked about letting all the good ones back into our country with a path to citizenship. All the good ones means when it gets down to it anyone that hasn’t gone to jail yet. So, we are about to have a rush on our border like we have never seen before.

Definetly not peanuts, it’s a signicant issue. Coming from someone who has campaiged as a consevative it comes as a shock and underscores that he is a fraud and cast doubts on anything he has said.

Our economy is in the toilet.

Our foreign policy is a shambles.

The Democrats in the Obama Administration were given a free hand and they trashed our country.

If the American Taxpayers actually stopped to think about Obama and his Administration, they would be furious.

So we get stuff like this to distract us.

Somewhere in New York City Trump is huddled with his advisers and he’s saying, “What? What did I say?”

Here's one of his staffers trying to recall what he actually meant to say:

I am voting for a wall. We can worry about the bathroom police later.

But in his statement last summer he said that he assumed that other than the murderers and rapists that some were good people. If he isn't sure then how can he let any back in?

Ladies rooms do not have urinals. Where are all these dicks swinging in ladies rooms that you suggest? In private stalls? There are already laws about whipping it out in someone’s face unwanted.

Do conservatives want more laws,or just the current ones enforced like with guns and immigration? Trump is being consistent

The Constitution as written and originally understood and intended and the freedom it guards seem to be off the GOP radar screen.

Those of us who love both don't need another centrally-organized political party which soon exists for its own future and not that of America. But we, the American People, do need to join in an effort to reinstate the Constitution as the Supreme law of the land and for a rebirth of freedom.

We will see how important “the wall” is when someone’s little girl you know stars in an online bathroom photo shoot, compliments of a pedophile disguised as an “innocent” transgender. The “bathroom police” will protect the freak, not the little girl. This crap is a green light to pedophiles and if you think it won’t happen you are delusional.

Indeed, we do. But we appear to be getting ready to hitch that wagon to a stump.

Questions:

What crime wave spurred on this NC law? Was this a big problem, were there numerous complaints of harrassment throughout NC?

How will this law be enforced? If you think someone in your bathroom is a man dressed as a woman, do you call the police and detain them until their privates are checked?

If this law is aggressively enforced, will you feel safer with your kids in same sex restrooms, where most abuse currently occurs and is already a crime?

It’s a piss poor side to take.

Is it? Way I see it, here's the options: 1. Pass a law that men use the men's room, and women use the women's room, and you end up with "men" who have gone through most of the transition using the bathroom with your wife and daughter, since technically they are still a woman. Likewise, you'll have transitioned "women" standing next to you at the urinal. 2. Pass a law that a person can use whatever room they identify as, and you have men in the women's room, women in the men's room.

No matter what happens, you are going to have mentally ill perverts in the bathrooms.

As I've said before, we're arguing over which bathroom they should use, when we should be arguing about how best to get these sickos locked up in a mental institution.

Donald refuses to defend the most basic boundaries in a civilized society, instead pandering to the mentally ill and the perverts. Donald may want a wall on the border, but he has opened the door to the war on women and innocent girls by failing to protect them against predators in public places. I suppose Donald prefers sluts and whores to innocence in girls, but the failure to oppose the most egregious assaults on polite society is an indicator of an unfit leader.

If a man, woman, transgender, or whatever, films kids in the bathroom, it is already a major crime.

Are you also in favor of more gun laws?

The point that Trump and everybody else seems to be missing is that NC didn’t just decide to make this law just because they felt like it. They did it in response to Charlotte passing an ordinance FORCING all businesses, facilities, schools, etc, to allow people to use whatever bathroom, shower, dressing room, etc. that they wanted to. Again FORCING, so say a restaurant couldn’t stop a man from using the ladies restroom.
We didn’t need the law and yes things were working just fine the way they were before, but the state had to put a stop to the Charlotte nonsense. If Trump had done some research before spouting off as usual, he would have seen that it wasn’t just something silly that the lawmakers through out there.

You are voting for a man that says he is going to build a wall. When you see time after time that he is a liberal. What good is a damn wall if you living in a damn liberal hellhole. I don’t believe Trump. He is a liberal and you can’t trust him.
