There was a time, not that long ago, when public officials making insane pronouncements would have been run out of town on a rail. Now? They feel fully empowered to be utterly stupid
(Daily Caller) Legislation that keeps men out of women’s bathrooms is directly contrary to American values, according to assistant attorney general Vanita Gupta, who heads up the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Civil Rights Division.
Gupta made the claim at a forum held on Tuesday by the Washington Council of Lawyers.
“Even after the Supreme Court’s landmark gay marriage decision last year in Obergefell v. Hodges that guaranteed all people ‘equal dignity in the eyes of the law,’ we see new efforts to deny LGBTI individuals the respect they deserve and the protection our laws guarantee,†Gupta said.
“And let me add this — efforts like House Bill 2 in North Carolina not only violate the laws that govern our nation, but also the values that define us as a people,†she continued.
There’s no other way to put it, people Gupta are utter nutjobs, who are so far outside the mainstream that they need a giant telescope to even view it. For most of humanity’s time, men and women used the bathroom, locker room, and showers that conform to their biology. There were obviously exceptions. In the modern era, though, these irresponsible and deranged Leftists want to use the power of government to force citizens to accept allowing fake men in the bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers of real women. Even those where underage women go.
They’ve decided to place the so-called rights of those who are confused over those of real, biological women.
Gupta made a similar claim in a speech Wednesday at a civil rights symposium hosted by the U.S. Attorneys Office.
“We also believe that America cannot reach its full potential and promise until every person in this country — regardless of his or her sexual orientation or gender identity — can live free from discrimination, harassment and violence,†she said before repeating her claim that H.B. 2 is contrary to “the values that define us as a people.â€
It’s psychopathic pronouncements like this that almost make me want to vote for Donald Trump, giving him the chance to fire these nutters and replace them with people of sound mind.
Put another way, the conservative bathroom fascists in NC want to guard public restrooms with State Police who will be required to check the birth certificates of each potential user. If you thought the lines to the ladies rooms were long now, just wait until the Pee Police get to work.
Yeah, that seems like a shared American value we can all get behind.
The authoritarian right hates LGBT folks and these laws are just another gratuitous jab. It’s a dog whistle call to their base, appealing to the common knowledge among conservative white men that the only thing keeping them from the excitement of hearing a girl pee is a statute.
Teach typed:
LOL. Of course you’re voting for Trump.
Here’s a list of Trump’s American values by Trump supporters themselves!

of course we want big government enforcing fenital standards in bathrooms that is a true conservative value but not a libertarian one
Homeland Security will now have s special ” Junk Police” division
Teach most Anericans are laughing at NC
Actually, we want, and expect, people to simply obey the law, but if some pervert breaks the law, we now have an enforcement mechanism to use. NC2 has closed the loophole which would (possibly) enable some scumbag to get out of going to jail by saying, ‘I’m transgendered!’
But there is more to it than that: the legislature and governor of the Tarheel State have said that no, ‘transgenderism’ is not normal, and not acceptable behavior. If someone wants to get hormone treatments and surgical mutilation, that’s on him, because it doesn’t involve anyone else who does not consent to being involved. What you want to do is to force some sort of public acceptance of that particular mental illness on everyone else, and we do not agree.
Speaking of American values…
Fuck Yeah!

Assault, sexual assault, rape, abuse, indecent exposure, harassment, sodomy etc are all already against the law.
There is no evidence – zero, zip, nada – that discriminating against the transgendered will make women safer against assault.
The law was designed to harass the weak and powerless.
Speaking of American values…

Charles Pickett Jr., of Battle Creek, an angry, white, good ol’ boy Dodge Ram driver is charged with counts of 2nd degree murder for driving into a crowd of bicycle riders, killing 5. It was unknown if Pickett was an illegal. Pickett fled the scene but was apprehended.
This is just months after another white guy, Jason Dalton, an Uber driver, murdered 6 in Kalamazoo. It was unknown if Dalton was an illegal.
Two mass murders in K’zoo MI within 6 months. Both committed by white men.
During this period in Kalamazoo there were few murders ascribed to Muslims, Mexicans and transgendered.
“Fewer murders ascribed to Muslims, Mexicans and transgendered.” That would be normal, as there’s more whites than those others listed, you fool. President 4putt’s claim to fame will be putting a man in the women’s room. Fitting
j,
Hey asswipe, how many murders were attributed to Muslims, Mexicans and transgendered, you fool?
President Trump’s claim to fame will be… oh that’s right, there won’t be a President Trump, LOL.
I don’t know. Did I say there were any? No, I didn’t. Still having trouble with that reading comprehension, I see. I said it would be normal to have more white murders because….. there’s more whites. Try and keep up, Jeffery. This isn’t rocket science. At least to some of us
So no mass murders in Kalamazoo by Muslims, Mexicans, Blacks, LGBTs but 2 in the past 6 months by angry white men.
Sounds like a trend. And conservatives are all about policing restrooms these days. Tinkle Down Policing and Trickle Down Racism from Trump.
Try and keep up, j. This isn’t rocket science. At least to some of us.
j,
We get it. The American Dream has left the entitled, privileged white middle class working man behind. The deal was, you go to work, get middle class wages, company insurance, your kids prayed to your gods in your schools, a pension + Social Security + Medicare, maybe pass a few bucks on to your kids, the natural superiority that comes with being white in white society … Negroes, Mexicans, Jews and Indians knew their place, homos stayed in the closet, and Muslims – what Muslims?
Then big business with the help of gov’t started squeezing the working classes. Top marginal tax rates were slashed from 90 to 70 to 40 to 30%. But local, state and payroll taxes on the working classes went up. In fact the federal payroll tax collection surpluses were used to cut the top marginal income rate even more! Mo’ money for bosses. The common American working man cost the bosses too much – so let’s move jobs where people labor for pennies an hour – and let’s subsidize shipping! Mo’ money for bosses, less for you. That deal that businesses made with labor around those defined pensions – suckers! – you pay for your own pension now! Mo’ money for bosses, less for you. That Social Security and Medicare you count on – they’re working hard right now to privatize it and slash it – Mo’ money for bosses, less for you. That $100 million fortune that Winston Sr. wants to pass on to Buffy tax-free? Mo’ money for bosses, less for you. Let’s invite millions of low wage immigrant workers, and importantly, keep them under the radar so they can’t unionize and demand fair treatment, further driving down wages. And business has led a successful war on unions. Mo’ money for bosses, less for you. Inflation ticks up to 1.1%? The Fed raises interest rates forcing millions out of work, cutting wages. A recession? Cut government spending delaying a recovery.
See the pattern? All the gov’t policies supported by business and the plutocrats mean more for the bosses and less for you. Immigration, labor, trade, tax, monetary, fiscal – every policy rewards the wealthy at the expense of the working classes.
This 50 year assault by the plutocrats and their gov’t lackeys has left the working classes exhausted and defeated. Wages have been flat for decades – even with two incomes.
On top of that, Negroes, Mexicans and gays, oh my. Donald Trump tells you enough is enough, and that most of your problems are from the Blacks and Mexicans and Muslims and foreigners.
