I’m not having similar problems. But since signing up for “Prime” Josh keeps e-mailing me to join some sort of “Salsa & Chips of the Month Club” venture. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT?

m_p-- try using Chrome’s ‘Ingonito page’ to eliminate some of the tracking features inherent in Chrome.
If you click the 3-bar menu/icon in the upper-right corner it will give you the option.
It’s been working well for me since the change last week.
Every now and then I do get a ‘log in to reply’-- but a reload of the page has been working.

Haha, “Salsa & Chips of the Month Club”?
That reminds me of the Jim Bakker Show, where they’re always selling buckets full of post-apocalyptic food supplies in mass quantity. And chips and salsa, always chips and salsa. With salba seed in both the chips and the salsa.
Yeah, the Jim Bakker Show is a guilty pleasure of mine. I can’t say enough good/bad things about it.
So what happens if the AG won’t defend the law. Does this mean the governor gets to hire a fancy law firm at whatever price he wants?

[North Carolina’s attorney general says he won’t defend in court a new state law preventing Charlotte and other local governments from approving protections for LGBT citizens at restaurants, hotels and stores.]
Muy bien, my brother (en otras palabras, el gobernador proximo)…

ditto, if and when the page renders chances are I am not logged in…
Wow, this IS big news, indeed!
Yes, this has happened before although I forget in what state. The governor would need to hire private attorneys likely affiliated with the state’s GOP apparatus.

$42,000 for the special session and now who knows what for legal representation. I hope Charlotte media and others are keeping track of how much this is costing taxpayers.

I really think of that bill as an anti-business bill. Don’t buy a house or move a business to North Carolina if you have any LBGT friends or employees.

Yes. He is the only state wide elected Democrat in NC.

McCrory instantly went after Cooper after becoming governor. He and his state house stooges defunded his investigative team, and put investigations under state police (controlled by the governor). Of course there will now be no inquiries into McCrory, or Pope, or Koch connections into any dubious actions by McCrory. McCrory has plenty to worry about with Cooper. He is very popular in the state, and will be a formidable opponent. I look for McCrory/Pope to try to remove him from office.

As a man, with all the male accoutrements, there are many things I’ve never seen in a “men’s room”. I’ve never seen a bicycle in a men’s room. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a balloon in a men’s room. I have never happened upon a dead body in a men’s room. Male or female. Nor any aliens. No ghosts. Or a single unicorn. No multiples of unicorns either, assholes. Never, ever saw a naked lady. One more thing I have never ever seen in a male bathroom. Someone’s dick. I have never seen another guy’s dick in a bathroom. So…If some lady comes in pretending to be a guy, my dick won’t be waggling out for her to see. We just don’t do that in guys washrooms. Same deal if some guy dresses up as a woman…everyone will be using a stall anyway. And does anyone think someone is going to go to the trouble to get dressed up as a woman and saunter into a ladies room to check out the women adjusting their makeup or maybe cleaning a spot on their shirt?
Reality is, not even the perpetrators of these awful laws think that is going to happen. They are just doing it to be horrible people to people that they want to be horrible to. They need to be dicks to someone, and in our era, its the LGBTQ community. Its always going to be someone for these people. Blacks, latinos, gays, muslims. There will never be a shortage. This is such a non-issue on all the levels. And YOUR tax money is being poured into just writing and passing the bills. Bills that will most definitely be struck down after an expensive court case. The republican party is for less regulation for business and more regulation for private citizens. We might be less concerned with who politicians sleep with if they were less concerned with who we sleep with. Yeah…probably not, but maybe.

A few questions, for the knowledgeable:
-
Are these lawsuit(s) also targeting the other horrible things in the NC-goes-crazy law? I refer to limiting access to the courts to enforce civil rights and the limiting of local minimum wage increases, etc.
-
Is there a provision in NC for the governor to go over the AG’s head to defend the state in court in this action, at his own discretion?
