Republican Senator says you can take a shit, NOT wash your hands, then serve you lunch

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/02/gop-senator-let-restaurants-opt-out-of-handwashing-after-toilet-to-reduce-regulatory-burden/


n. Thom Tillis (R-NC) argued this week that restaurants should be able to “opt out” of health department regulations that require employees to wash their hands after using the bathroom.

On Monday, the freshman senator ended his talk at the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) with a story to illustrate his philosophy on government regulations.


Say hello to the brains of the teaparty.

Walking through an airport, just happen to have a steaming hot cup of Starbuck's coffee, and just as Karl Rove is walking past me I absolutely and clearly by accident happen to trip and throw it on his chest area.

Not the face, that would be cruel and I would come out looking like the bad guy.

But on his suit, chest area, some very real pain with little lasting harm.

competing with big business or one of the reasons.

But this guy is telling us what he thinks of regulations, that the simple, cheap act of washing your HANDS after TAKING A SHIT is too much for him

Too much for the teaparty....

This is what we are up against.

I wash my hands before I floss, which I do twice a day, vigorously.

Now these are reasonable things to do, but I do it maybe a little too much.



Example, when leaving town, how many times do you turn around after you are a mile away from the house to check and see if you

a closed the garage door
b. made sure no water is running


I have done it more than once, in the same day

I always wash my hands after coming home from wherever and I carry hand sanitizer in my purse. My husband says I should write a column on the best and worst public restrooms to alert the public.

As for making sure water isn't running, I'm definitely a bit OCD on that one, as well as making sure I turned my curling iron off.

After finishing a business deal with another man while both are using the urinals, King starts to walk out without washing his hands. The other man says, "Hey! Aren't you going to wash your hands?" To which Don replies, "I wash my hands BEFORE I touch my dick." ahahhahahahaha.

A funny scene, but it reveals a certain selfish mentality - that the world may contaminate his dick rather than the other way round.

We have a list of users who regularly exit the restroom without washing, and we make an extra effort to use hand sanitizer after visiting those users.

Yeah that is a pretty burdensome regulation, so is that one about not driving over pedestrians in the crosswalk. I can't tell you how much money my small business has lost because I couldn't leave tire tracks on some elderly woman's back.

At what point during the the process of inauguration to public office are the brains removed? That has to happen because nobody is naturally that stupid.

A simple search and you'll see I mentioned this years ago. Nobody believed me. Well, behold, one tiny facet of the right wing redneck bigoted mentality of those assholes. There is plenty more where that came from. They are not merely political opponents as some would have the people of DU believe. They are threat to our very health, among other things.

I can't help it. Today, I'm feeling every last bit of the hate I have absorbed from these assholes through the years. I have nothing but hate back for them. Ah, that feels better.

and I took a bunch of shit from my liberal friends.

I have repeatedly explained that ALL (99.9%) of opposition to Obama from the right, as oppose to the left, is first based in the color of his skin and the Muslim sound of his name, before it has anything to do with any issue.

Proof of this is they were against Michelle promoting water is healthy. They were against Obama getting a POW back, the same POW they demanded, for MONTHS AND MONTHS that he get back, and when he did, they were against it.

These terrorists met the night he was elected and said they wanted to act as a "Taliban insurgency" to destroy his presidency.

And the only way to destroy a relatively populist president, is to destroy the population.

So he is against regulations to wash hands, but for regulations for a sign that says they don't. Once you remove the regulation why would you continue to put up a sign that says you don't follow the regulation that doesn't exist? Would you simply have to post all the things you don't do?

I think selling and consuming raw milk is dangerous and stupid. But if you tell everyone that you sell raw milk and it might have cow poop in it, then let the nutters buy it.

A gal I know is a food writer. She has had illegal food parties, raw milk cheeses from France and Pata Negra before it was legal. Completely safe and now Pata Negra is legal.
