House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled support for a Republican effort to ban Democrat Sarah McBride — the first transgender person to be elected to Congress — from using women’s restrooms in the Capitol once she’s sworn into office next year.

    The AP article made a mistake,

    Democrat Sarah McBride — the first transgender person to be elected to Congress

    She is the first OPENLY transgender person elected to Congress.

    I can’t be sure she is the first. I think everyone in Congress should be required to show their genitals on live TV at the start of every session. That way the American people can be sure they know who they’ve voted for. We don’t want liars in Congress do we?

    shall we prosecute republicans molesting kids while we are at it? I know it’s not as important but you know maybe you can squeeze that in your agenda.

    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.

      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.

          The Two Santa Clauses tactic strikes yet again, as it has done over and over and over and over for the past forty-odd years.

        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.
