Morning Reads for Tuesday, September 11
Good morning. Here is one veteran’s reflection on September 11. In the 17 years since the attack, here is an overview of what’s been built at the WTC site.
- Georgia State, Georgia Tech, Agnes Scott, and Spelman are among the most innovative colleges and universities in the country.
- If you want to vote in Georgia this November, you need to register (or, at least, check to see that you are still registered) by October 9.
- Coastal residents in the Carolinas are preparing to go with the contraflow.
- This Economist piece compares Jeff Sessions to a hero, and Trump to a fart.
- …speaking of, the Trump administration apparently wants to make it easier to release methane into the air.
- Trump’s top economist has no idea why the President just, like, makes stuff up.
- The most unsanitary, disease-ridden place in the airport isn’t the bathroom. It’s the security line.
- Libraries will save our nation.

Shana tova, Andrew.
Shana tova y’all..
Blessings for this year and every year.
The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, also known as McCain–Feingold Act, requires candidates for federal offices to have a disclaimer in their advertising. It is now boilerplate… I am Joe Blow, and I approved this message.
Question: Is there any requirement like this for state and local races?
Are the so-called surveys from 2020 Insight, which are really advertising for one candidate, legal?
To memory, there has to be a “Paid for by” statement somewhere. Of course, if it’s 501c4 or a Super PAC funded by c4’s, good luck finding out who actually paid for it.
Or good luck if it’s just one of those super-secret covert (illegal) ads that never gets investigated/prosecuted.
As for the line between surveys and advertising, the line will be where it has been: Express advocacy for the election or defeat of a candidate or ballot issue.
I.e. implied advocacy spending won’t require the same types of disclosures. But that is a line that could be tested. I don’t know offhand if it already has been, but with campaign finance, there will always be folks pushing envelopes in order to maintain secrecy.
The obsession with polls is crazy. I totally agree with you that surveys/polls are one of the most effective campaign tools. Pushing polls by political parties on news programs is just free advertising and wrong on so many levels. The strategy works. Getting people to vote for “most likely” candidate over wasting vote on “failing candidate” is the goal. Polls are pushed by political consultants and political parties.
This was not a survey. It was an ad for a paying candidate. While this may, or may not, be illegal, it is tacky. https://chamblee54.wordpress.com/2018/09/11/robocall-survey/
In Georgia there is no provision to put a paid for by line on anything printed or online. ON TV and radio is another story.
Trump’s gift is such that he’s made a mean-spirited garden gnome of an attorney like Sessions into an admirable figure.
As to why he makes up things, it’s what he does, what he’s always done, at least since Roy Cohn. He lies when you ask him what time it is, just to keep in practice.
That is what Mueller is doing ! Making Trump a sympathetic figure! Now that is hard to do!
But with everyone against him, committing crimes to take him out before and after the election, a lying press that is nonstop radically biased, case in point that nitwit Joe Scarborough saying Trump is worse than Bin Laden…on 9-11 yet!!
Conservative candidates being stabbed, shot and intimidated, millions in their pink hats….
Meanwhile the economy couldn’t be better… folks are working and the prophets of doom and horror sound like blithering fools.
Libs are so over playing their handhead and once again you are turning victory into another defeat. Keep it up! And Trump Is the victim. It’s hilarious.
I hope it wasn’t Chuck Norris who wrote the OpEd because then Trump would have to kick his a$$.
So, no closer to a probable landfall location for the hurricane? Folks need accurate info on this.
Then perhaps President Trump needs to quit slicing NOAA’s budget as in 20% for FY2018 and now 16% for FY2019; all because he finds their long term data an inconvenient truth.
Kelly and Mattis are doing disservice to the US military and our system of government if they’re lying. to protect Trump.
Apparently they are not lying —-and the disservice is the disinformation campaign on a daily basis from the left. Shocker right?
I bet the lying press and folks on this blog will be saying this is Trump’s Katrina before the damn storm hits. It will be a racist storm and Trump caused it because of climate change…never mind libs consume just as much energy and do nothing but squawk.
If this the biggest storm in 60 years (which is BS but who cares) how could there be a big ass storm 60 years ago before the global warming “crisis” and Al Gore was squirted out?
Is it possible for anyone to use the bathroom and not have a liberal make it a political event? Well that is not even possible since toilets have to be low flow (double flushers) these days….Sorry for a bad analogy.
Enjoy the storm article Mr. Down the Middle

Why don’t you link one to Ray “School Bus” Nagin letting hundreds of buses just sit there during Katrina? I wonder if he’s out of jail yet?
Why can’t I point out the last 13 years of FEMA failures stretching 3 presidents, a half dozen FEMA directors and multiple Homeland sectaries? And it’s not all Emergency management issues.
I just love the smell of wingnut welfare in the afternoon. Sheesh. Residents of New Orleans received no pre-Katrina warning from federal or state officials, nor from hurricane or engineering experts, that the city’s leveescould breach and fail. They weren’t looking to jump aboard buses and evacuate because they thought they were relatively safe; they didn’t anticipate that levee construction problems would end up destroying their homes and lives. So it was a yet another massive failure of the heckofajob Bush Administration.
IMHO FEMA has become less effective since it fell under the Department of Homeland Security. Once it was turned into a cabinet level position after hurricane Andrew. It was extremely effective under James Witt. Since 2003 it has become the redheaded step child of DHS. Witt did state interaction training and set up national disaster recovery review systems for checking structures and infrastructure by state level professionals and private sector volunteers. Example, when tornadoes hit Oklahoma 5 years ago, out of state architects, building inspectors and structural engineers were on site in 48 hours to make sure they were safe to return to or how they could be stabilized. FEMA no longer does this. However, ASCE, AIA, and ICC have maintained he training and makes their services available and has gotten good Samaritan rules passed so engineers and architects can practice in emergencies and/or state they are not licensed.
Sure Caroline! New Orleans is six to eight feet below sea level. That hasn’t changed has it? So the local libs couldn’t figure out with a category 5 storm out in the gulf a week it hit, they had nothing to worry about. Why did everyone else evacuate? We they listening to YOUR report?
Boy that is liberal revisionist history at its best.
Why don’t you go tell the folks in downtown Charleston not to worry. They are at least a foot or two above sea level….
The last time I noted someone making a bathroom into a political event was when folks allowing transsexuals into a ladies room…
“Trump’s Katrina” has already occurred; it was called Maria. He announced today that his response was an “unsung success”. The Puerto Ricans beg to differ.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/sep/11/trump-scandal-hurricane-maria-puerto-rico
Puerto Rico only recently announced that everyone has finally had their electricity restored. $16 billion or thereabouts was spent with a fair amount of it squandered to mainland profiteers. To put a perspective on that Puerto Rico is a U.S. Territory with 3.4 million U.S. citizens. More Americans than 21 states. We annually send $38 billion in military aid to a theocracy in the Middle East and it isn’t even a possession.
Will don’t forget the $150 billion Obama sent the Mullahs in Iran and the 2 billion in cash on those pallets in the cargo planes!
Are you arguing we should spend far less in foreign aid and storm rebuilding? It sure sounds like it.
Loved listening to this piece today. I’d never thought of libraries in that way but it makes sense.
Trump’s disgusting reaction to 9/11 mere minutes after the towers fell:
https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-september-11-interview-tallest-building-manhattan-2017-9
These audio will probably be tweeted a lot today. Maybe even covered in the media as well. It has been before. And the “take” is always the same: Donald gonna Donald.
But since today is emotionally resonant for us – since our memories are ripened, I ask you to imagine something…Go to that moment. Especially if you knew someone at a location in that attack.
Now, imagine making that call yourself, mere minutes after the towers fell. When the initial smoke was still billowing. Imagine you’re him – a man who claims he’d just lost “hundreds of friends.” Does it make any sense? Please DON’T fall into the “mad king” narrative of the moment – of Trump being a sociopath or demented, incapable of comprehending the world around him. Stay with me here.
Imagine you did know someone in the towers/ pentagon. Who would you be calling? know who I would be. I would in a desperate search. Calls in, calls out. Desperate searching.
Donald’s phone was free. Free enough to call up a radio station & start spewing conspiracy about bombs being on the planes. Now, why’s he doing that? WTF?
Forget about his bragging that Trump Tower was now the tallest building. That’s his depravity. There is something even more sinister going on.Why make that call? What’s the point? I smell fear.
Nervousness. A NEED. (post 1 of 2)
Most notable in the interview is the complete absence of any compassion.
Not even any thoughts and prayers.
There was only two sentences where he even discussed human beings.
Trump took in a lot on 9/11 from his Manhattan apartment.
.
“I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City, N.J., where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering.” Donald J. Trump at a Birmingham, AL campaign rally 21 Nov 2015
.
George Stephanopoulos asked Trump on 22 Nov 2015 if he had misspoke the day before, noting that “the police say that didn’t happen.”
.
“It was on television. I saw it. It was well covered at the time, George. Now, I know they don’t like to talk about it, but it was well covered at the time. There were people over in New Jersey that were watching it, a heavy Arab population, that were cheering as the buildings came down. Not good.”
.
Republican reality. Trump telling it like it is.
.
“He’s an idiot. It’s pointless to try to convince him of anything. … We’re in Crazytown.”
He’s pushing out a narrative – injecting it right into the bloodstream of the media, mere minutes after those towers fell.
Why?
Let’s establish some known knowns:
1. At that time, and after, Donald Trump was laundering Semion Mogilevich’s money. Of this, there is no doubt.
2. Semion Mogilevich was a known partner – supplier of arms & material – to Osama Bin Laden & Al-Qaeda. Of this, there is no doubt. This fact is known & well-accepted. It is also the “Why” behind Felix Sater. To familiarize yourself, read: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-12/ex-trump-associate-sater-outlines-decades-of-spy-work-for-u-s
2.B) I’m not a fan of this glamour piece by Buzzfeed, but read it through the lens of Sater as the son of Mogilevich’s underboss, Mikhail Sheferovsky. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/anthonycormier/felix-sater-trump-russia-undercover-us-spy
So, here we have it. Who knows how much Mogilevich shared/shares with his launderers & biz associates. But I have no doubt they know what he’s up to generally. And what he was into leading up to 9/11. Donald Trump was/is Semion Mogilevich’s money-launderer.
Mogilevich’s crimes – the sources of his profits – are heinous: global rape trade & child/human trafficking, arms trafficking to Al Qaeda – prior to and after 9/11, and yes – trafficking of NUCLEAR MATERIAL. This last one is key. Because it unlocks another part of 9/11…The aftermath.
There is something I call “The OVER-UNDER of Semion Mogilevich.”
It’s the gamble we took – or rather, the Bush Admin took, on Semion’s influence vs. his reach.
And we got it wrong.
Now, the above is all factual: Donald Trump laundered/launders Semion’s money; Semion was/is in business w/ Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, & other terrorist groups/regimes; & Felix Sater was targeted & used by DOJ/FBI to get info on 9/11 attacks because of his connections to Semion.
But from here on, this is THEORY. “The Over-Under of Semion Mogilevich.”
It’s rooted in the weirdness:”Axis of Evil.” Remember when you first heard it?
Did you have the same reaction I did, when North Korea was thrown in?
I mean, I got Iran & Iraq – the neighbors. But North Korea – what was that about? Why was Bush throwing them in TOGETHER?
Well, what if you were him – looking at intelligence that had Semion Mogilevich (the f*cker in business with Bin Laden) selling (or attempting to sell) nuclear material to those three regimes? That would tie them together, no? At least, seemingly.
You see, this was the push back from some of our allies, who had their own intelligence on Semion. And understood the difference between his reach and his influence. They are not the same.
Yes, by 9/11, Mogilevich had built a vast network of organized crime. He had consolidated the bratvas. He’d stolen the Italian mob’s laundromat. He was set to plug a transnational criminal enterprise into global markets AND, he was selling to those three regimes. That was/is his REACH. But…He didn’t CONTROL those regimes. Outside of Russia & some of its former Soviet block, I don’t believe he had control over any state. Not directly. Thus, his INFLUENCE was no where near his reach.
I believe this is what French intelligence was trying to tell us. That we collapsed those two things: Mogilevich’s ability to reach terror regimes and sell to them, with his actual influence over them. The collapse is understandable, if you’re looking at that level of intel. If that’s what happened, we got it wrong.
We used an assumption to justify war in response to 9/11.
Semion’s reach – esp. at that time in history – is often under-estimated. It was vast. But that’s not the same as his influence. His influence was over-estimated.
We took a gamble on it.
And lost.
Going with Teri’s methane theme, if we were to harness the President’s emissions for energy would that be considered burning a fossil fuel?
Great idea Will.
We could also use the entire radical socialist agenda and the worthless hot air and promises it has belched out since Karl Marx came up with the scam!
We should at least acknowledge all the millions of lives lost, wars fought and misery that the socialist agenda is responsible for. We can say a prayer for our brothers and neighbors in Cuba and Venezuela that were stupid enough to glom on to that philosophy.
We could also use all of the hot air and lies regarding collusion and Trump that are emanating daily from the press, the democrats, the FBI and Justice Department over this joke of a frame job.
I have to have give them credit for pepetrating on of the biggest scandals in American history. There should be plenty of jail time to go around!
Yes, this should keep us energy independent for years to come.
Wait, I thought you wizards of smart don’t like fossil fuels. I have a great idea. Why don’t all the libs quit using fossil fuels, save the planet and leave the rest of us alone!
Here, here!
Thanks genius. It is not novel approach. It is a failure then as now. That is my point. Thanks for helping me make it.
Better question, why is it the foundation of the today’s democratic party? Don’t deny it. Ask Bernie or the rest of the kooks. Must less Miss Cortez whatever from NY…
Capitalism is just the opposite and leads to freedom and prosperity…warts and all.
Most libs have no context of anything other than from the 8th grade on… so thanks for the post. It is helping them. Not me.
Many people have said socialism is bad. Many, many smart people. Believe me. Anyone who says socialism isn’t bad is fake. It’s a failing system and everyone knows it. If they had a choice, most people would not choose socialism. Only I can prevent socialism from taking over , though. It’s a big problem but I’ve already fixed it. You won’t see socialism taking hold here because I passed a law. I signed it. The fake news didn’t cover it though.
It has been said that only Siths think in black and white.
I didn’t say it. Obi-Wan did.
But I would say that thinking in only black and white reflects a necessary but simplistic stage. Like learning to read Dick and Jane. Sure, you gotta learn to read, but if you’re still reading Dick and Jane books at your age, your brain has been wasted.
What’s wrong with Dick and Jane? If America had kept to the original text and not inserted a bunch of liberal propaganda like diversity and editions for below average readers we would be better off! Training kids to be below average just turns them into snowflakes! They are probably the same people who want different bathrooms for every personality type you can imagine! How many bathrooms do we have to have? I don’t want anyone to see my fat belly. Can I have my own bathroom?
I was in touch with a group called The Rural Library Project a few years ago. They were trying to build a library in every county in Georgia. I thought they had a good plan. Only some of the website is still there. I guess the funding dried up.
http://www.rurallibraryproject.org/Projects.html
Our current POTUS is famous for his incontinent use of twitter. Here is how W does twitter. https://twitter.com/GeorgeWBush
Here is a link to the Strzok, Page emails describing the leaking strategy of the FBI to the press to set up Trump and Carter page.
Does this bother any of the libs on this blog?
This is a massive fraud perpetrated by FBI and Intelligence agencies. There is no crime committed by Trump but the crime is right here by the FBI and others. Is this a coup to get rid of Trump?
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/09/11/strzok-page-texts-on-media-leak-strategy-fuel-trump-fury-at-doj-nothing-is-being-done.html
Yea little buddy, we will see who is lying real quick!! We already know who is lying! Hey why did we just get the email about Strzok, Page and the FBI leaking strategy just a few days ago? Not a year and a half ago…do you think they were trying to hide them?!
How much time to you think Strzok gets and McCabe who will be indicted shortly? And Andrew why have so many folks at the FBI been fired or reassigned? Was it for doing a great job?!
Hey bedwetter, maybe you just got the memo because your 2 sources of “info” finally got permission from the Fascist In Chief to share it.
Of course you already know who is lying, because you have a mirror in your basement apartment.
Are you keeping score of who gets fired? I hope so! I don’t care if it’s a deep state conspiracy or not. Winning is the only thing that matters.
If you want to figure out who Trump wants to fire look into who has taken down Russian mobsters or is an expert in Russian money laundering in the FBI. Bruce Ohr is an expert in all this and that is why Trump has been going after him. It is the same thread through all the FBI agents he goes after.
Benev….”I don’t care if its a deep state conspiracy or not” “Winning is the only thing that matters”….thanks for being honest. It is a deep state conspiracy. There is no denying that.
Just wait until its focus is a radical lib. That wont happen until the swamp dwellers go to jail. At least you admit you don’t give a damn.
Or he’s of both schools at the same time. Just like his cult leader.
What a maroon!

Thanks Obama—for leaving! Nice speech the other day and right back to his divisive rhetoric —while acting like he is above the fray! What a joke!
He is eyeball deep in the Trump conspiracy as well!
Sure was nice of his cluelessness to have the audacity to say there were no “scandals” while he was in office. One of the biggest in history is blowing up in his face right now! I guess the IRS abuses didn’t come under his watch either. Benghazi, red lines drawn and crossed, endless taxation…just go home Obama….well I don’t know if I would want to go back to Chicago and not live in a fortified bunker….he didn’t seem to care or do anything about that either. Bush’s fault…
Ok. Now is time for one of you goobers to demand DTM’s banning. Every post he does calmly lays out Lib crap and you bed wetters have no answer other than to squalk butt hurt to the moderators to ban him, me, Alpha and the rest! Ok, Weenies, do your worst!
Your trolling game is weak, homie.
I wouldn’t dream of having DTM banned. A finer example of lock-stepping Limbaugh lackey cannot be found, (Trump didn’t fit my alliterative bent there). I’m sure you two’s Heckle and Jeckle (last week with a touch of Amos and Andy as well) routine has done more damage to President Trump and Republicans in this little sphere than a hundred card carrying Democrats.
Just for a challenge I’m going to just start tossing up a word or phrase to see how long it takes DTM to segue it (well, in his mind), to another Mueller/Collusion tirade.
OK DTM? Today’s word is… Kumquat.
What are they sniveling about now? What did I do? Are they going to tell the teacher on me again?! I will just be like Strzok and say I didn’t do it even though they have his direct quotes!
I had a great round of golf this afternoon with the homies…and not a single sniveler in the group. How refreshing…
Now time to come back for a different kind of comedic relief! I am sure someone with come up with something before my morning coffee!
I really appreciate the Rush reference. He has driven you leftist nimrods crazy for years. I know it must be hard being a liberal and trying to outscream the other for attention. It must be hard to dream up excitement for the liberal agenda. I know I couldn’t do it…
What is the message to excite the voters for the midterms? The only thing I can thing of is “Mo’ taxes and I hate Trump” … aint gonna cut it boys and girls.
Better get the racist screams cranked up. Yea that will do it.
I am not sure what is worse, watching paint dry or a Hillary campaign rally…I guess its fun to see how many body guards it will take to hoist her up the stairs….
Dang Matt, you don’t seem unhinged today. Are you okay? Andrew didnt try to overwhelm us with too much BS…BJ didn’t cuss anyone out. Caroline didn’t bring up pedophiles for a day or two…you guys must be off your game. Well tomorrow is another day!
And the economy keeps getting stronger, more folks working and record optimism. Aint it a -tch! Thanks Trump!
I highly recommend watching the monkees at the zoo over the lib Supreme Court embarrassment. And Trump declassifying the Investgation Fraud should be a huge slam dunk winner for the good guys. Wonder what CNN, Scarborugh, Maxine much less Obama have to sayf or themselves….as they dodge getting served with a subpoena!
Don’t forget this…

Ellyn is this really bad news? Number 1. Do you want a bunch of bozo economists trying to see how much slower the economy will be if some socialist fool is elected and raises 242 taxes and passes so many regulations that it makes it almost impossible to start a business? Ask a small business guy if he misses Obama. The answer without fail is HELL NO!
Bear market indicator–due to optimism….lets get back to a terrible economy and rampant pessimism ….and stocks down 50% AND A GREAT TIME TO BUY! After no significant drop in 8 years, stocks are way overdue for a correction….but so the hell what? If you are a long term investor, all you get to do is buy the same stuff cheaper if they drop in price. You get even highter yields. You BENEFIT. Would you rather do go to Target after they just raised prices 30%? I don’t see a problem.
The stock market went up under Obama due to the Fed lowering rates to zero. That is a massive stimulus and it was coordinated around the world. We are coming out of that. Obama had nothing to do with the lower rates.
His policies hurt growth. Washington had been a negative for his 8 years. All Trump had to do was reverse the stupid polices and the economy would boom. And it has. You are watching just that.
Right now the stock market is trying to top out a bit. The economy is booming but the Fed has been raising rates. That is the negative. That is a negative for any president. Ask Jimmy Carter.
Trump is doing exactly what he should be doing to have a growing economy which will lead to better tax receipts, more jobs, more wealth. Not necessarily a straight up stock market. The exact opposite of the socialist agenda.
Technology is deflationary—it keeps inflation very low. That is a great thing. The US is dominating the world energy markets like never before…no recession in sight. We are in the drivers seat folks. Enjoy it.
How anyone can be negative in this country right now, they really have to work at it. And no one can make a group more miserable than a pack of liberals. You know I am right! Don’t forget the world is coming to an end. We are doomed.
It’s good to have countercyclical sentiment. It moderates, prevents bubbles, reduces long-term risk.
And in this case, it’s also logical, with multiple unresolved self-imposed trade conflicts, with the government shut-down show-down nearing, etc.
Ladies and gentlemen: I present the latest example of Trump Derangement Syndrome!!

Absolute crickets….Yall have no problem with this attack. None whatsoever. Just like the baseball field attack. Support The Agenda…The Narrative…
Why should we reply. We all know its horrible. If we say anything that even hints its not horrible you’re just going to keep going on and on and on about it and take great glee in telling every one how we are mindless socialists and TGM is going to do this and going to do that and blah blah blah.
Your dog and pony show needs new material.
Well, the stabbing was definitely new. I don’t make the news. Let’s see what your side does tomorrow….
I, Don’t, Have. A, Side.
I guess this is part of the Obama let’s tone down the rhetoric initiative….I guess its better than shooting the softball team…
And there it is, just a hint and DTM goes on the attack. Even whips out a Olde ‘It Obama’s Fault’ implication. Blah, blah blah. No engagement – just “we are MAGA” and the rest of you are all ‘lowlife little lib snowflakes’.
Again. Find new material.
Yeah, I was going to say you heard crickets because not everyone can post at 10pm-
so what you may have heard was cicadas, not crickets.
Some nights I can, but not always.
My official response: Stabbing bad.
I also don’t have a “side”. For example, if I lived in the 1860s, I would be a Republican. The “sides” change with time (duh). And as with life, you can also either evolve or live like a Grump.
Question: Does this stabbing make it more or less likely the Deplorables will show up in greater numbers in November?
Not a factor. His core voters were already going to show up. The one time Trump voters hate all politicians, so is a wash for them.
What he’s written about are words enough. MAGA.
While we all worry over Florence, recall the events of 17 years ago… House Ways and Means tomorrow is set to force Tax Cut 2.0 out of committee, hopefully for a floor vote by next week.
No hearing, no reading of bill, no oversight…

Lets just set the law, the politics and the human aspect aside… Lets ask the big question, how much is this costing? What is HHS not paying for to pay for this? How much is this costing the military where they use bases? Who is getting the contracts for this? Are the bib or no bib contract?

Oh Look Down the middle, folks making a bathroom a political event, just like you mentioned….
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/voter-backlash-to-trump-bathroom-law-have-put-conservative-nc-legislature-in-play/2018/09/10/346e3190-b1f5-11e8-a20b-5f4f84429666_story.html?utm_term=.d32244d6bd9b
Ellynn, how did I forget how the libs literally turned taking a whiz into a controversy?! I can’t believe I forgot another act of SHEER IDIOCY!
Okay, who thinks letting a guy take a whiz in any bathroom he wants to depending on what side of the bed he wakes up on is a good idea? Do any of you have a daughter? I do. Tell me that does not bother you? I don’t believe you.
I think it is utter nonsense and only a liberal goober could be twisted enough to come up with that.
If you are a transgender, go take a plunk depending on your junk. I don’t give a crap what heels, dress or jeans you are wearing. Get over it. Get over yourself. The problem is YOU. Not us.
If this is politically incorrect, so the hell what? It’s common sense. I hope one of you liberal wizards can tell us how this is a great new law and why! Go for it.
This issue really puts a kink in your underwear, eh?
Maybe it Depends.
I personally support the creation of more privatized bathroom spaces. Dudes are gross.
You forget ACP, that DTM assumes all individuals to be as bad as recognizing frauds as he is. The one image I always have is some hack trying to play dress-up just to get into a women’s restroom. As if anybody in or around that bathroom would be fooled. And the cops called pretty quickly.
And if you’ve gotten good at the cross-dressing part, then at the point, you’re probably legitimately exploring that side of your gender identity.

My hot take: Based upon the fact that “Around 7 in 10 (72%) say they think Trump should testify under oath for Mueller if asked,” I am going to suggest that in Trump’s “base”, there is at least 10 points (20% of Republicans) that only give soft support. I.e. there could be a bridge that would be too far for them to cross.
