Discussion: Louisiana Guv Overturns Order Allowing Discrimination Against LGBT Individuals

[landshark2897]

Elections matter!

DUH!

[meri]

That’s because it was a terribly written headline.

“Louisiana anti-gay law overturned by Dem governor”.

Golly, that was hard.

[chammy]

here’s a prime example of how Democrats are NOTHING like Republicans. Nothing at all. You may not like centrist Democrats. They may not do the things you’d like them to do ALL the time, but they’ll do what you’d like most of the time.

Way to go girl Spot on. I’d like to know in politics when everything goes your way. It ain’t never gonna happen

[chammy]

I totally did miss that. Not one of my more astute days, clearly.

Very poorly written headline. I had to wrap my head around it for a minute or two then read the story

[jootjoint]

Hooray and Hallelujah Gov Bel Edwards!

I may just stop by and patronize in your state over the summer!

Keep it moving STRONG!

[pshah]

Great start! But it’d be faster if he’d just take all of Jindal’s executive orders and throw them in the shredder.

[jcs]

A Democratic Gov in a red Republican state is a glorious thing!

[valgalky23]

I got that.
/s and all.

Give the guy time… he’s got a lot of it to wade through!

Good point! When I was younger, despite being an active Democrat, I would have fully agreed with the statement (without the sarcasm!). I watched as my Senator and my President signed DOMA. Welfare was being gutted. The drug war was in full swing. I didn’t see much difference.

What a difference two decades make. Now, the Republicans are all batshit crazy, and the Democrats are far to the left on virtually every issue of where they were in 1996.

This is an example of a serious zombie meme. It hasn’t been true for a long time!

The LGBTers are sure a discriminated on group, WTF?
The Repubs have lost so many battles that their hit list is down to groups that I doubt that they are really barely even aware of.

Next up for sure is Muslim Midgets ; )

Imagine the sadness of the hateful, no more people that they don’t actually know what the fuck they are and/or what the fuck the abbreviation means to hate on.

[pluckyinky]

“…failed presidential candidate Bobby Jindal.”

I think it would be a bit more accurate to take out the “presidential candidate” part, and just leave it “failed Bobby Jindal”.

It’s been a long day and my sarcasm detector may indeed be malfunctioning.

Completely understandable. Not universally known as @pb pointed out, the /s is indicative of snark. Thanks for bringing this up by your literal interpretation:

It is common in online conversation among some Internet users to use an XML closing tag: . The tag is often written only after the sarcasm so as to momentarily trick the reader before admitting the joke. Over time, it has evolved to lose the angle brackets (/sarcasm) and has subsequently been shortened to /s.

Irony punctuation | Irony mark

Without New Orleans tourism money, LA would be in a real bind what with Jindal’s tax/economic malfeasance and the collapse of the oil market?

[leftflank]

I remember the night that this dude was elected, it was really a good feeling and there was much hope. He’s doing his job and fulfilling the hope placed with him.

A little liberalism goes along way, see Obamacare. Once the Louisianan’s get a taste of good government they just might grow a statewide brain and at least turn purple.

…after North Carolina passed a law that prevented local governments from passing laws…

North Carolina is for lovers… of big government.

Piyush: Amerikan Jesus is disappointed at open disregard to southern inheritance.

[lestatdelc]

This is why you vote Democratic down ballot, off-election, etc.

And Benghazi!
