I can’t believe, well actually I can believe, that our Governor said courts should interpret laws passed by a bunch of idiots.

Is he looking for a cushy job after November?

By the way, who is paying for all the travel expense while he is getting face time in Washington defending Hate Bill 2? Is he looking for national attention now because he wants Trump’s VP position? Because everybody knows he is the only reason the Carolina Comeback has been so successful. Now we have five different lawsuits filed over one 12 hour law.

McCrory has rejected LGBT anti-discrimination measures every time in 25 years in public office. He voted down a Charlotte ordinance in 1991 as a city council member, opposed another one in 2004 as the city’s mayor, and now, as governor, he just made it illegal for all localities in North Carolina to pass any kind of LGBT protections.

Now that the Big Bathroom Lie has worked twice—the first time was down in Houston—the question all thinking people must ask themselves is: Do the people telling the lie even believe themselves? Maybe they do. If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.

Are you so delusional that you think that banning transgendered people from restrooms will keep sexual predators out? A sexual predator does not need bathrooms. All they need are football, basketball and wrestling.

Please tell me you are not this crazy.

You use public restrooms with transgender people all the time and don’t know it because they live as the sex they identify with. A transgender person who identifies as a woman dresses, acts, and lives her life as a woman. She is no different than you and you would not recognize her in the ladies room. A “sick minded” predator who decided one day he wanted to go into the ladies room is not going to look like a woman so please, please stop with the nonsense that this is about the children.

So if your bills are so bad just use plan B and keep the courts full of lawsuits until everybody just forgets or just doesn’t care. Now I am not saying all of the laws signed in Raleigh have needed judicial review, but how many have been overturned by the courts? Amendment One? NC Supreme Court retention election law?
