When I think 'hamster' it does bring to mind stuffed cheeks.

NC Gov. Pat McCrory signed an executive order in order to amend the discriminatory parts of the law, more specifically the "bathroom bill" and the "can't ever seek legal protections again" parts. This is what happens whenthe state legislature literally salivates and jumps at the chance to discriminate to the point where they call an emergency session. And this guy just shrugged and said "Sure, why not?"? Well, this guy's certainly in for a rude awakening, ain't he?

Your article says the opposite of that; it says that he did nothing to alter the most controversial parts, including the parts prohibiting transgendered people from using their preferred bathrooms, or the parts prohibiting local governments from expanding protections against discrimination. All it did was protect state employees from being fired for LGBT status; but state employees they were already protected by the 14th Amendment itself, as firing a government employee is state action.

Looks like the forum agrees with Trump on something... Part of me wonders if that's a marker of the end times.

My favorite sportswriter, Bill Simmons, invented something called the "Tyson Zone", meaning that a person (like Mike Tyson) has done so much crazy shit that no headline about them can surprise you anymore. The whole Republican primary is now in the Tyson Zone.

This is the only time I've seen a pro-Trump piece make it to the front of /r/politics with positive comments. If I haven't said it before, I'm saying it now.

He's going to take a turn towards the left as the general election draws nearer.

Say what you will, he isn't a complete idiot. He knows he can't win on nationalism/conservative values alone. He probably still holds some of the liberal values he had before, and sure as hell won't show them while attempting to win the GOP primary.

Cis woman forced out of bathroom and restaurant for looking too masculine. She attempted to prove her license says female but in response she was picked up and thrown.

Ironically the result of this crusade to protect women resulted in a male security guard entering a woman's restroom to assault a woman.

Apparently, the AFA has been sending out men into the womens; restrooms at Target to test Target's responses.

Worth noting that this happened almost a year ago in Detroit, not as a result of the NC bill (or any other bathroom bill, because Michigan has none). Still illustrates the depth of the weird bathroom panic, I suppose.

In a rare moment of sanity I never expected from North Carolina, an agreement has been reached to repeal HB2. The proposal, endorsed by the governor (a Democrat) and the majority leader of each legislative body (Republicans), is pretty much status quo ante bellum: HB2 will be fully repealed, and a three year moratorium will be placed on local bathroom ordinances like Charlotte's in anticipation of federal legislation and/or judicial rulings that will hopefully settle the issue soon.
