I wonder how the dude who wrote the bill would fare against real animals, considering he's so afraid of people dressed like them.
My guess is not too well. He’d crumble into a tiny ball and wait for it to be over. Man just when you think someone in the US can’t make things look any worse than they already are…
So he is just trolling to get headlines and get his name in the papers.
I once met a person that was made to believe that "animal-kin" children were being given their own litter boxes in a similar way that transgender children would get their own bathrooms.
The issue with the people who think like this is that they see a few things not like them (a few transgender people) and extrapolate it to utter nonsense (millions of children declaring themselves animals and demanding litter boxes).
If they would think about what they are saying; they would reliaze that their claims are impossible. But then again, they are in their own reality where everything they do makes sense..?
I'm sorry for using such an absurd example but it's a thing older conservatives I know actually believe in.
Oh you have no idea how far that rumor spread. School systems had to issue public denials. One not that far from me did-
I'm temporarily unlocking this post again, but I'll be keeping an eye on it. I don't want to see it descend into vitriolic lashing out at one another again. Come on, people, keep it civil. This is supposed to be a fun and welcoming community for everyone, and I want it to stay that way.
And assholes should be required to be picked up by proctologists.
Unrelated to the actual content but why is removing words to add a super confusing comma so common for headlines? I had no idea what this was talking about until I read some for context because that comma turns the headline into nonsense
It's interesting that his official government website doesn't really have any basic defenses. It allows you to message him without even making up a fake address in his district. Doesn't even seem to check to see if you enter in bogus information like a phone number with all 5s. Also interesting that outside of hours calls to his office go right to a non-full mailbox.
I do hope no one just calls outside of their posted hours and leave long messages talking about nothing or uses the website to contact him.
Please no one do things like that.
