Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) told colleagues at a closed-door GOP conference meeting Tuesday that she might get into a "physical altercation" if forced to share a bathroom with trans women, according to sources in the room.

MTG is just mad there's a better butch built bod than hers in the Capitol now.

I hope McBride goes into the Mens Room with Mikey, playing 'Smokin' in the Boys Room' at full volume.

I can't find the quote, but a Repub said a couple days ago that they would definitely consider the ban "since the trans issue won the GOP the election," or words to that effect.

And now the Dems line up to let the GOP rope them into the issue, again.

McBride had every right to run for Congress and the folks in that district had every right to vote for Sarah. However, I don't think this conflict is helping the Dems in any way, shape, or form.

I've said the below before and I'll copy/paste it again:

Dems really need to up their game on throwing people under the bus if they want to regain and retain power. Maybe look to Bill Clinton for some pointers.

The way Bernie Sanders tells it, the former president is guilty of political expediency.

Translation: Don't fight for injustice because it's inconvenient. That's what I got from reading your post.

You are correct. Speaker Johnson is doing exactly that.

Gotta pick your battles. That's how Bill Clinton was able to get elected and re-elected. To appoint a number of SCOTUS justices that protected against injustice for over a decade.

Hillary supported trans rights. So did Kamala. Did you turn out to vote for her? Or did you stay at home or vote third party along with 8 million of your nearest and dearest because those ladies weren't perfect enough for you.

Because I guarantee plenty of people turned out to vote for Trump because he opposed those rights. So why should Dems take a hit for a cause that costs them the office?

But you don't have to take me word for it: "The "progressive" position of the Democratic Party - originally championed by FDR as a practical program for working Americans - was distorted by minority far-left extremist views [...] The Republican ad on this issue saying "she is for they/them and Trump is for you" was devastatingly effective"

Forcing women to share their private spaces with males never made any sense. The backlash is growing stronger.

Mikey pees sitting down. Just sayin'.

Yeah, having to share their urinals with men...wow.

You ------- moron.

"Pro-woman"

It should be mandatory that if any biological man wants to become female the first step is amputation of --------- and penis. Only when the official tools of manhood are gone can they claim to be female.

Bunch of sadistic --------.

private spaces

How many toilets in public restrooms are not private?

No one wants to share a toilet stall with you.

Smiley Mike, that creepy little man, has probably had bathroom cams in every bathroom for month's with a wall of monitors in his office. It's a Christian thang don't ya know...

"he is banning transgender individuals from accessing bathrooms on the House side of the Capitol complex"

The cruelty is the point. And the fact it's aimed at one particular new Congress member is particularly cruel.
