The law, which was passed in Minnesota last year, includes language requiring menstrual products to be available in bathrooms of all schools for grades 4 to 12 as a way to accommodate transgender students.
As part of their effort to portray Tim Walz, the new Democratic vice-presidential candidate, as a far-left liberal, the Trump campaign attacked the Minnesota governor on Tuesday for signing a bill last year that provides access to menstrual products for transgender students.
At issue is broadly inclusive language in the law, which states that products like pads, tampons and other products used for menstruation “must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12.” Republican state lawmakers in Minnesota had tried — and failed — to amend that bill so that it would apply only to “female restrooms,” though some Republicans went on to vote for the final version of bill.
Could they get out of kids pants and get to fixing the country?

“We’re pro life until the child is born, then fuck them.”
At this point, it seems pretty clear that they don’t even care about the fetus. Republicans just want to to control women.
I was calling them pedophiles
That also works. I was taking more a long the lines of George Carlin’s quote:
Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren’t they? They’re all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you’re born, you’re on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don’t want to know about you. They don’t want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you’re preborn, you’re fine; if you’re preschool, you’re fucked.
Its the wrong kind of thinking about them though

Then all the kids laugh at you and make you feel shame about basic bodily functions, just like Jesus would’ve wanted.
guilt, fear, and shame are pretty much baked into the foundation. no matter what you do, if you were born human, then you’re a sinner, and the only hope is jesus. all this make-believe crap works best when shoved down the throats of kids who dont know how to think for themselves yet. hence their rabid relentless tooth and nail battle to force jesus into public schools. it’s not enough to indoctrinate their own kids. they want yours too. also the jesus kids can bully the less than jesus kids without fear of consequence
Republicans think that Carrie went downhill after the first 10 minutes or so.
As a kid, I had frequent nosebleeds. Both from natural causes and homophobic bullies. Tampons in the boys bathroom would have been great for me, and I’m not even trans.
Just like curb cuts, making an amenity available for everyone helps * checks notes * everyone
For anyone who might need to hear this, plugging a nose bleed might be one of the worst ways to stop it. You have a high chance of ripping it back open when you remove the plug.
Pinch right under where the cartilage meets the bone for a full 60 seconds. Rinse and repeat until it stops.
Don’t tilt your head back either, as this causes the blood to pour into your stomach which can cause nausea and potentially vomiting (which can restart the bleed).
Source: used to get daily nosebleeds every winter for like 20 years.
You know, maybe I’m getting old but I remember a time when the Republican Party wasn’t running on a platform that consists of nothing but batshit crazy. I’ve never been a Republican but there was some semblance of sanity there and not this soup sandwich of bathrooms and genitals. Jfc.
Bruh, my political memory goes back to Iran Contra. They were always fucking insane, it’s just that they used to apply the thinnest veneer of normalcy. Newt Gingrich accelerated their unmasking.
Newt was most definitely an OG hypocrite, but hindsight makes everything even more clear: Nixon, Goldwater, McCarthy, Strom Thurmond, the list goes on.
Roger Alies and Roger Stone were on the Nixon staff. Helll, even Eisenhower is mostly responsible for the GOP co-opting Christianity. Before that they leaned left cus of the charity and and helping the needy.
Nixon was where it got wild. But yeah there was until the tea party and Trump a thin mask of civility.
Eisenhower was the last good Republican.
I have posted this very same comment from time to time. Substituting “decent” where you use “good”.
I legit think Sarah Palin was when the GOP jumped the shark.
W was at least on the ramp approaching the shark in that case
GOP: A party for the under represented morally corrupt and mentally deranged.
☝️This guy likes Ike.
All the problems going on in this nation and this planet yet their minds are hyper-fixated on the inside of children’s pants…that’s creepy as shit.
Bunch of fucking weirdos. Constantly whining about government overreach yet they are all up in everyone’s private parts, sexual orientation, and dictating how schools/parents/doctors should treat trans/intersex children as if these bunch of ignorant Trump cultists have any clue about the medical/mental needs of these children.
Pretty sure, we have a word for people who are fixated on children’s genitals.
Republican?
I was going to say child molester, however Republican works just as well (page 50 out of 50).
That’s out of 53 now actually.
Sadly, that’s not shocking at all.
Wow they are so fuckin’ weird for making a big deal about this
Wasn’t #45 wearing a tampon on his ear just a few days ago? So weird that they would focus on this when there are really problems at hand.
No, I believe that was a sanitary napkin.
They ARE very absorbent. “are really problems”, who writes this carp?
They’re desperate and reaching. They need something.
They’re needs and ours don’t align. It is my sincere hope that they will lose so badly that they come back to reality.
Walz doesn’t even have to campaign. All the Republican “attacks” make him sound great!
I’ve listened to Trump speak, and it’s clear he doesn’t know what to do with a period, so this doesn’t surprise me.
Believe it or not the Conservative rank and file love this kind of attack. My sister, who lives in the states but can’t vote there (and flew back to Canada to have her kids, who needed medical care they could never afford stateside) , Is all on the Trump train and was just last night going on and on about how “there ain’t no boys on my daughters gymnastics team in south Carolina” and “the other side wants tampons in boys washrooms”. They’re so obsessed with it, it’s fucking bizzare.
But honestly I should have known she was getting this from somewhere, the girl has never had an original thought in her life, a personality sponge if I ever saw one, always has been.
The republicans are weird.
Booooom! Trump campaign SLAMS Walz for . . .checks notes . . Ah! “basic humanity”!!!
Ha haaaa! Take that, liebruls!!
Oh shit they slammed him? That means it’s serious
How dare he want to try and ensure that the basic needs of children are met? He probably also supports giving those children lunch and access to public libraries where they can learn.
I hate that any of the above are even remotely controversial and yet here we are.
Don’t you fool liberals know you’re just encouraging young girls to be sluts!
/s
If people are dumb enough to criticize Walz over this kind of thing I really need to use /s.
Diapers for Adderall-addicted smelly criminals though - that’d be fine with Old Diaper Donald
Bob Dole spent his last years shilling for viagra, and that’s considered normal and cool. Gingrich is on his third wife after cheating his way through the Clinton blowjob impeachment. Donald Trump is out there shedding donor cash to hush up the porn star he took to pound town on the campaign trail.
But god fucking forbid a teenager girl have access to a sanitary napkin in a public setting.
Only a male idiot would come up with something like that. There’s no short supply in the Republican party.
