Republican National Committee Endorses Anti-Trans ‘Bathroom Bills’

I'm confused. What does "probation" have to do with this?  The word is never used in the body of the article. Is this just another case of a linguistically challenged headline writer, and if so, what on earth do they think "probation" means?

For those who didn't see the movie, "Double secret probation" is a line from Animal House. It came to denote a punishment carried out without the knowledge of the party being punished because the punishing party was too craven to announce it publicly.

I just wonder how Caitlyn Jenner rationalizes this in her head.

Is this the same as the "secret" resolution reported by ThinkProgress yesterday?

I have to think that there are some people in the Republican party that don't give a rat's butt about bashing LGBTQ folks.

It's worse than that.  There are a significant number, maybe the majority, of Republicans who truly believe that "what we define as" bashing LGBTQ people makes them righteous before God.

Because . . . We collectively hate God, are evil, and are the reason that God no longer favors America with prosperity and greatness.

I don't think there is a solution to that other than garnering enough people to vote to keep them out of positions of power where their insane delusions can do us and others harm.

Sadly true.  And their infiltration/takeover of the GOP has produced a situation where it gets awfully hard to hold your nose and vote for anything the Republicans might have right.

I'm not surprised at all, I hope the few trans republicans left, including Miss Jenner, will make their mind.

For that matter, how can any woman cis or trans support a party that believes it is okay for men to make more money for the same work. Pardon me while I scratch my head!
