I know there was one big thing that I'm 100% confident it's going to come out in a negative light. Gender neutral (actually "All Genders") bathrooms.
Interesting.

Probably wouldn't be a big fan of my 10 year old daughter using the same bathroom as men. But not the end of the world, I'd just walk in with her.

Did they still have some traditional men's and women's bathrooms as well?

Kansas City International Airport, MCI, remodeled recently and it now has a very large "All Genders" bathroom. The stalls are enclosed and have sides and doors from above your head to the floor, which makes the whole thing pretty meh.

Which is not to say that the Hate other Americans First crowd won't attempt to weaponize and turn said bathrooms into the Drag Queen Story Time Reader, we're all going to hell issue, of the 2024 election, if they can.

It's more of a cleanliness (guys bathrooms are disgusting and girls have to sit down) and comfortability (her comfortability) thing for me when thinking about my daughter. Not fear of trans rapists.

Are people seriously of a mind that the type of sign on the wall will protect their children from a sexual predator? Come on, people.

Let's take the right wing 2A advocate and say "bathrooms don't molest children".

Absolutely. And the sign on the door isn't going to stop sexual assault or inappropriate comments.

It's not a rape/sexual assault thing for me. I have a feeling my daughter wouldn't want to take a shit with boys from her class in the bathroom with her or watching her walk out of the stall. Or sit on a seat boys have been pissing on all day.




Again, we've got a lot bigger fish to fry than this. But, we've also got a lot bigger fish to fry than this....if that makes sense.

and that all makes sense (heck, i wouldn’t want to drop a deuce if there’s a chance that a hottie might be in the room)

when i was in high school we had men’s, women’s AND unisex bathrooms…nobody gave a damn (that i’m aware of)

Compare and contrast.
There are fake champions and there are real ones.

And you’ll never see the difference clearer than when you compare Hulk Hogan’s shirt-ripping act at the Republican National Convention to Steve Kerr’s appearance at the Democratic National Convention on Monday.

When Hogan took the stage at the RNC last month, he commented on the energy in the arena: “I felt maybe I was in Madison Square Garden getting ready to win another world title.”

“I just had a flashback man, this is really tripping,” he added. “You know, the last time I was up on stage, Donald Trump was sitting at ringside in the Trump Plaza. And I was bleeding like a pig, and I won the world title right in front of Donald Trump.”

Uh, sure you did.

Of course, the truth is that Hogan never really won a world championship of anything, although he was and is a world class big mouth.

He was a professional wrestler. His matches were staged, choreographed and the outcome decided in a production meeting, not the ring.

They were as rigged as Trump falsely claimed the 2020 election was.

Is there such a thing as stolen valor in sports? Maybe there ought to be.

Steve Kerr, on the other hand, is the real deal.

He’s won nine world titles in a real sport, NBA basketball. That includes five as a player, three with the Chicago Bulls and two as a San Antonio Spur; and four as coach of the Golden State Warriors.

His buzzer-beating jump shot to eliminate the Utah Jazz in the 1997 finals remains an NBA classic.

Make that 10 world titles, if you count the gold medal the U.S. Olympic team just won with Kerr as coach.

And here’s what he said about that:

“So the last time I was in a packed basketball arena was in Paris, France, nine days ago. Some of the best players on Earth, 12 incredible American men, came together to win Olympic gold. And the next night, I was back in that same building, watching 12 more of the best players on Earth, our incredible American women, do the same thing.

“I cannot think of a better metaphor for what this country is all about than the way Team USA came together at the Olympics. We have players from across our wonderful country, players who have trained and fought relentlessly, shed tears trying to beat one another throughout their careers, joining forces to wear the red, white and blue. When we won, the American flag raised to the rafters, National Anthem playing, gold medals draped around the necks of our players, whose hands were held over their hearts. It was the proudest moment of my life.”

He added: “Now, imagine what we could do with all 330 million of us playing on the same team . . . not as Democrats, not as Republicans, not as Libertarians, but as Americans who know the greatness of this nation doesn’t come from any one of us, but from each of us doing our part to build a more perfect union.”

The difference between Hogan and Kerr is obvious. One’s an actor, the other’s a champion.

Hulk Hogan brags about titles he never won. Steve Kerr doesn’t have to brag about titles he did win. And he doesn’t need to rip his shirt to show how tough he is.
I did like Kerr giving the "night, night" sign off.

Sure, but how do the Dems top having Kid Rock on stage at the RNC?

By NOT having Kid Rock on the stage. A definite upgrade by elimination.

There were so many excellent speeches last night. Biden, Clinton, Raskin and so many of the younger Dems who spoke. It was an excellent Night One. I will 100% be tuning in for the rest of the week.

No, but seriously, they are fuckin weird.
Rep. Jared Moskowitz on Monday was puzzled by Donald Trump claiming he is better-looking than Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

“What man's like, I'm better looking than Kamala, or I'm better looking than a woman?” the Florida Democrat said in an interview with Fox News’ Jesse Watters during Might 1 of the Democratic National Convention.

Moskowitz was responding to Watters questioning the Democrat’s praise for President Joe Biden, leading to the congressman accusing Republicans of creating a flattery machine for the GOP presidential nominee.

“We're just trying to compete with the Republicans. I mean, the flattery with Donald Trump, right? I mean, he's the best golfer, the best basketball player, best at baseball, best president, tallest person ever,” Moskowitz said.

“Do you think if you're a guy, you can't say, well, I'm just generally better looking than another woman?” Watters said.

“All I know is if I ever said that, my wife would change the locks at the house and I'd see my kids with a monitor,” Moskowitz said.
It says so on the side of the trumpty tower in Chicago at night.

Jesse Walters also thinks he is better looking than Kamala.
