No, no – it’s ā€œAw, well bless his little heart,ā€ said in a sweet, sappy drawl while slowly shaking your head from side to side, keeping your eyes glued to his … done just so, so he gets all that is implied. :smirk:

Better late than never. But it IS late. And what in tarnation were you thinking? Or, perhaps better, Were you thinking?

Dumb fuck… just what did he think was going to happen, he had recent events in a neighbor state to tell him the consequences.

ANYTHING that must be done in the dark of night and in a special session you know is ripe to be the wrong thing to do. Does not take a genius to figure that out.

This law just follows in well worn NC legislative moves. Example: a small town elected to start their own cable business because rates by national companies were outrageous. Town built the net providing better service for both internet and TV at 1/3 the rate. So what did State Legislature do, why, outlaw any other town from doing the same.

It was loaded with lots of stuff besides the bathroom issue. It’s an astonishing piece of legislation, given that it went from concept to a signed bill in just 12 hours.

Fuck you and step aside so that a real Democrat can take your seat. This law went for being revealed to being signed by the governor in 12 hours. You are forever shamed for voting for it. Did you even know that you were voting to prevent municipalities from raising the minimum wage? Did you even know you were voting to keep all civil rights complaints out of the state courts? There is no way you even read this shit show before you voted for it. Get out!

As Grandma used to say ā€œIsn’t that special!ā€. Sir, the best you could do at this juncture is find a solid Democratic replacement and assist them in every manner possible to be elected and hit the ground running. Your State is in desperate need of true leadership for the good of all citizens. You are never going to appear other than desperate and cowardly, weak and malodorous.

Richardson is going to find himself very lonely when the legislature reconvenes.

Those who are proud of their hate and bigotry will call him a wimp, and the Democrats who voted against this travesty will shun him as the political leper he’s made himself.

Either way he turns, Richardson has crapped in his own mess kit, and now complains because it’s time to eat.

There are a lot of things he could do to show true penance.

Sackcloth and ashes are de rigeur for serious penance.

I’d like to flog his cowardly ass.

I was thinking more along the lines of contributing his legislative pay to the nearest LGBT center until the law is repealed, but sackcloth works too.

When are Blue Dogs going to learn. Trying to kiss the wingnut constituents arse is not going to help them, for them they are still ā€œlibrulsā€ no matter how they vote. The just get the people that actually vote for them angry.
