AP has already looked at some of the ins and outs of Trump’s comments on North Carolina’s bathroom law, but the fact is Donald Trump is right. This doesn’t mean I plan on replacing my #NeverTrump magnet with a “Make America Great Again” one or start delighting in the idea of a Trump presidency. But I’m okay with agreeing with him on this even if it may be a case of Trump the blind squirrel finding the nut.
-----------------------------
This debate over bathroom access seems like a ridiculous one for this election cycle, and something which could end up hurting more than helping. Trump is right on this issue. It will be more interesting to see if he decides to switch his position in the next few days (much like he did on abortion) to make sure the evangelicals who follow him stay with his flock. It just would be nice if the debate was about debt and spending cuts, not about bathroom access.

Ask three economists a question and you'll get four answers.
The simple fact of the matter is that America is not facing an economic crisis, but a moral crisis.
[[You are right. This is THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE right now. Those who speak out against the LGBT agenda are being fired from their jobs, shunned by society, told they can’t buy or sell without bowing to the LGBT crowd and guys like Trump and his followers bow before the LGBT crowd and say, hey, this is not important, it’s the economy, stupid.]]
Precisely- it is absolutely stunning how quickly this country has sunk into moral decay- 10-15 years ago, someone even suggesting that men be allowed to use women’s bathrooms legally, would have been seen as a sick pervert themselves- now society acts like this is a normal thing that should be tolerated-, claiming we can’t allow the poor transvestites to ‘feel uncomfortable using the bathroom of their gender’ (apparently the vast majority of American’s feelings aren’t important- only the feelings of 0.03% of the population is important now)
[[The bakers who held their ground against this tyranny have lost their businesses. The photographers who held their ground have lost their businesses and professions. ]]
Curt Schilling just lost his job for takign a stand- a clear violation of the law which bans religious discrimination
[[Well, we are not being destroyed by hard working immigrants who mow our lawns and pick our crops. ]]
Actually we are- to the tune of losing between $400 billion and $600 billion every single year to immigrants, but mostly due to illegal immigrants and legal immigrants who do not work hard but live off the government- nearly 65% of all immigrants, legal and illegal, are on some kind of government welfare program - but both the issues are equally important, and this isn’t an ‘either or’ situation- both issues should be tackled- because both issues are affecting this country negatively-
No, the Charlotte law that started the whole thing was that a man could use a girls locker room if he felt like he was a girl.
The Trumpies have been trying to spin it because their man stepped into a big steaming pile of it. If Trump walks it back, we get to watch them suddenly change their minds as well.
Cruz would ban dildos and check birth certificates at bathroom entrances.
Seriously? Can we please stop letting Progressives distract us?
What you said.
However, this North Carolina thing isn't that simple. First off, let's concede that nobody wants a creepy old man in a woman's bathroom.
But the North Carolina law would require "transgender" men to use a ladies room. And that doesn't seem right either. It's a very confusing situation to traditional people like ourselves. It's an odd world.
Anyway, where does this person pee? North Carolina says it's the ladies room.
Not only that, illegal immigration is a MORAL problem. Breaking the law is a MORAL problem.
[[When I mentioned my concern about young girls I was told it was up to me to see that my kids were safe in public restrooms.
Where on earth is the logic in that?]]
There is absolutely no logic in it- it is a cop out trying to justify an unjustifiable position of support for allowing men to use the same bathroom as women and girls- they know this was a major mistake or a liberal ideology held by their candidate, and they are now simply trying to justify their candidate’s liberal ideology on this issue-
If you have not seen the video I link to all the time, pls take a few minutes to listen to Donald in his own words.
How well do you know Donald Trump?
This week, in addition to the bathroom isssue, he's come out for taxing the rich & changing the Republican platform on abortion.
if you still support trump after yesterday, you are a pervert, too.
plain and simple
Biblical level of delusion.
[[The protection of gays through hate crime legislation is one way to suppress the free]]
Mayor deblasio just passed a law forbidding people from ceiling transgenders by their birth gender I beleive- Essentially making it a ‘hate crime’ to do so-
If they look like that, you won’t know they are men, so it’s not an issue.
The law is regarding "transgender" folks, which includes those going through "transition". If you get your way, you'll force someone in transition, who looks, walks and talks like a man, into the women's bathroom and locker rooms with your wife and daughter. Again, we are debating an irrelevant issue. Instead, we need to be discussing how to get these sickos locked up in mental institutions where they belong.
Good grief get a grip, all are not what is best on social and fiscal matters so stop being so damn defensive over one guy, your guy.
No, the law said transgender which includes men who think they are women. There is no way to determine who is a transgender. It was a feel-good law that didn’t take into account that you cannot discriminate against men because they look like men.
How are you going to determine who is a transgender if it is all in the person’s head?
Our local Walmart transgender has a full beard and falsies.
People who refuse to work and who are on welfare make more money and get more benefits than people who work two 40 hours minimum wage jobs.
Why work?
Some are so blinded by their hatred of the other guy they can't even see their guy anymore.
Sick of all this crap and lies put out on here by some thinking it protects their guy while attacking the other.
One freeper is sop outraged by the bathroom talk of Trump that he or she forgets that they were defending this when cruz;s daughter mentioned he dressed as a woman or should I say he had women clothes on.
exactly- the liberals have turned even this criminal act into an acceptable thing- heck- they don’t even consider the fact that illegals steal people’s social security numbers and fraudulently steal their identities to be a crime anymore- I read an article here awhile back that illegals were being told how and where to steal SS numbers by government workers- And there is a push on to allow them to vote-
This country has lost it’s freakin mind and is in danger of losing it’s moral way- There is still a ‘remnant’ of believers, thankfully, and for now we do still act as a restraint on pure evil taking over- but it’s becoming harder and harder to do so legally- and laws that would allow men to use the same bathrooms as our women and children, and criminalize those who would oppose it, are what’s going to be our undoing-
How anyone can even begin to defend such nonsense, and make out like it’s no big deal, is beyond me-
Since you're 100% confident you've got the absolute right answer on this, please see my post #87 and tell me which bathroom this person should use.
In North Carolina, the law says "Ladies."
