It would be so fucking funny if she sued them for workplace sexual harassment.

With so much wrong in the world and the US right now these fetid sacks of gangrenous anal sphincters are focused on hurting one person because it makes them feel good.

All the single issue economy voters realizing the Trump administration is single issue too

If them going through Hunter Biden's dick pics while the price of everything was going through the roof wasn't enough to show Republican voters they don't care, them being bullies to the 1st transgender member while the price of things still remains high isn't going to change those voters either.

In fact, they may enjoy watching members of Congress gang up and bully this new member.

Fortunately for them, Republicans will inherit a healthy economy from Biden, which will eventually lead to decreased inflation and lower prices, so all the voters will continue supporting Trump and his bullies.

Sometimes, I really do wish Jesus were real and would speak to these idiots.

She should just shit on their desks if they won't let her use the bathrooms.

Shit on the floor

The House Floor I mean

Literally. Bring a Harbor Freight five gallon bucket and keep it next to your seat. Bring it up to the podium when you're speaking. Use it on the House Floor.

Also, require the House Sergeant at Arms and their staff to demand to see the genitalia of anyone who wants to use any gender-specific House restroom. No scofflaws, 100% enforcement.

Each time as well. Can never be too careful with those transgenerators. Never know when someone's gonna pop out and switch things up to get access to the closer toilet.

Hell yeah. Time to get schwifty!

Johnson better be careful, he won't be allowed to use the restroom either if he gets to the binary division stage of his reproduction.

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

He used the restroom in the closet.
