Thanks to Donald we can see side by side photos of a real woman, albeit one that may not be the most flattering, and a woman about the same age who is so made up and airbrushed she looks like an expensive cyberskin sex doll. (I had to look up cyberskin! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_toy ) Donald thinks that having a wife who looks like a buxom Barbie doll and is young enough to be his daughter is something to brag about. She may, like hubby, also be a liar. Again thanks to Wiki: “She has claimed that she was selected as an alternate on the 1972 Czechoslovak Olympic Ski Team. However, in 1989, Petr Pomezny, Secretary General of the Czechoslovak Olympic Committee, stated, “Who is this Ivana woman, and why do people keep calling us about her? We have searched so many times and have consulted many, many people, and there is no such girl in our records.” Why, one might ask, didn’t Trump post this photo of his wife? CORRECTION: THIS IS HIS FIRST WIFE, IVANA. HIS CURRENT Barbi is Melania.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete. R. Buckminster Fuller

She should give it back so he could lose the pastel rug.

UPDATED DAILY: What do I think about and what I do I think about it?
March 26, 2016 Thoughts about the new transgender toilet laws in North Carolina and Georgia. I haven’t spent much time in a pubic woman’s bathroom since I was the groundskeeper and janitor for a large park and swimming pool during two summers when I was a freshman an sophomore in college. I had to swab out the women’s toilets, some 20 in a row of stalls with doors, with a mop and bucket of highly concentrated disinfectant. I assume that public women’s restrooms all still have stalls with doors. So what does it matter who uses them? If any group of homophobes can make a case on bathroom use, it’s men who stand at urinals with full sideways exposure for any leering or lurking gay men to see.

I'm going to make an embarrassing confession: I was in an undisclosed airport recently, passing through on a harried evening flight. I was trying to juggle schedule information, help my wife with her semi-urgent breathing issues, lug 100 lbs or so of luggage and medical equipment, and I had an urgent need to use the bathroom. I had found the bathroom for my wife, so she could go first, but she insisted that my need was more urgent. In my confusion, I went to the wrong restroom. It wasn't until I passed a woman entering the bathroom that I realized I had used the wrong one. I recovered from my momentary embarrassment at my social faux pas in a matter of minutes. I was never exposed to anyone, no one was ever exposed to me (except, I suppose, in the mirror), and so it is (or can be) in any public restroom.
There is no reason that that couldn't be the organization of EVERY public restroom, in which case, gender separation is not really much of an issue. I've been in plenty of places that have gender-neutral bathrooms; that have separated stalls and a common "grooming" area; or that have a series of private stalls in a common area. What happened in North Carolina was, per usual, a group of radical ideologues taking a slight social "discomfort" (use of public restrooms, in this case) and using it as a bludgeon to force into existence a draconian (and it is draconian) law that will have far more impact, especially on a marginalize minority, than anything CLOSE to the momentary embarrassment use of a public restroom might entail in the WORST of circumstances. They should be publicly shamed until this atrocity is reversed, although I suspect it will take a court case for it to be corrected.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

When I was a kid, my family was dining in a restaurant and my bro and I both went to use the restroom. We got back to the table and my bro said: Why didn't you use the restroom. I did I said. One of us used the wrong one!!!  My parents laughed. Guess some people (transphobes) take using bathrooms way too seriously these days.

Just about everybody takes everything way to seriously these days.

On another subject, just added to halbrown.org Oh The Irony Of It Department Why are the allegations about Ted Cruz’s affairs causing such a tempest? The answer is simple. Many, if not the majority, of Trump and Cruz supporters consider The National Enquirer as credible news source. The story wasn’t prominent on the cover, taking only the top quarter, was featured above “Cheating Blake, Nine women he’s hiding from Gwen.” The Cruz headline says “It’s over for pervy Ted. Cruz's 5 secret mistresses. Their shocking claims.” Hillary’s secret lesbian lifestyle, supposedly revealed in her emails, is also featured in The National Enquirer. They include photos of her with Huma Abenin (deep cover ISIS spy) See photos similar to those published in Politico.
