“A date which will live in infamy.” It’s time to
Why is Daniel Kagan resigning?
Because he did what the investigation found him to have done and was dishonest about it?
You mean that he went into the women’s Senate bathroom three times? Is he admitting to being some kind of pervert? If so, I guess I’m a bad judge of character since I saw none of that in my (limited) dealings with him and his wife.
It's bullshit. Kagan used the "women's" bathroom 3 times, twice when it was not marked, therefore presumably a unisex restroom. No allegations of peeking or perverted goings on – he just took a crap in an unmarked restroom.
Do you know how many times I and every woman posting on here, has commandeered the men's restroom at a public venue because their lines are shorter? Should we all have been charged with possible sexual harassment for using a urinarium marked for the opposite gender?
(Men: step up, unzip, whiz, shake,wash, zip, leave) (Women: step in, lock, hang up bag, shimmy out of 3 layers of hose, clothes, underwear, whiz, wipe, shimmy back into layers, retrieve bag, unlock, wash, check hair and makeup, repair as necessary, gossip if there is any, leave) There's reasons why the men's lines are shorter.
Dr. Chaps gets all hot and bothered about transgender men using women's restrooms, calls them "demons in disguise". He's a right wing nut, of course. But how is this demonization of Kagan any different?
The legislature should have fricking well had a unisex bathroom. One like every grocery store has, one open room with a toilet, sink, and changing table in it, wheelchair friendly, that locks from the inside. That's what modern workplaces have, to be inclusive and convenient.
Kagan having to resign for using the wrong bathroom doesn't pass the smell test.
“…doesn’t pass the smell test.” Exactly, Mama. What is going on, and why don’t our talentsd and well connected Polaters give us more information? At this point, the CO Dems have lost a Senator, who ball many accounts, was a stellar legislator and we have no idea why.
LMAO, that went to 11 in no time.
The above is exactly what I was saying. That's not enough. I expect he wasn't honest about something. Whether that was the number of times he did it (he and the independent investigator disagree, and he never copped to having done it more than once, I believe) or his reason for doing it (he says confusion, perhaps he's a shy pooper and thought his position entitled him), it could lead to him resigning. This was the only position I took. I have no basis to claim or shame whatever kink Kagan may or may not have, and I never claimed he was some sort of bathroom pervert.
All he had to do was come forward and say that he had undiagnosed IBS and had to frequently rush to the bathroom, or some equally plausible, and truthful, explanation and he would have been fine. He didn't. He's going. I'm just offering a possible reason as to why.
Gotta tag you for the "transgender men" part, M.J. I expect transmen to use the men's room.
You're right, cook. I should have written "transwomen". At least, that's what Chaps is steamed up about.
I think Chappy is jealous. He can't stand that people he insists on seeing as men are hanging out in women's rooms listening to women go, and maybe getting a peek now and again, when he isn't allowed the same privilege. Now tell me who the pervert is?
And Kagan is resigning one week into the new session, on January 11. I pinged a couple of the journalists who wrote stories and asked them "why wait?", and they said "he didn't say, and isn't answering our questions." So, 10 years of legislating apparently is enough.
Kagan's statement doesn't enlighten me, no matter how much he wants to pass the torch:
Oopsie! Thanks for saving the small banks, Senator Bennet.
Congress may have accidentally freed nearly all banks from the Volcker Rule
Thanks for the link, Pseudo. My wife worked in financial services for years and has been following the fall-out from the melt-down with keen interest.
