Well, if you gotta pee, find Mace's office and squat in the middle of the floor.

I've said something similar every time I hear about these stupid laws or proposed laws... if you're trans and someone tells you you're going to the 'wrong' bathroom, tell them "it's either there or the floor. You pick."

Baby, there are literal sex pests running around in congress right now. Also why are you talking? Let the men speak.

I'm a Republican on Obamacare who makes less then Minimum Wage and I'm GLAD that the Government I voted for is letting me Rot while they ban ONE Member of Congress from using the Toilets!

At least I didn't have to vote for a black woman!

Has anyone verified that Nancy Mace is a woman? I don't believe him.

[–] RagingRobot 4 points 1 month ago

How dare him impersonate a woman to get into Congress that's taking an opportunity from a biological woman!

What a literal piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Shit can actually be useful, though

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

True, I apologize to literal shit.

Where's Obvious Plant with the "Stupid Hateful Bitch Congressional Playset" when you need them?

Could include things like:

  • Non-prescription glasses to fake looking smart
  • Gavel you're not authorized to use but brought from home anyway
  • Unrelated chain-email printouts from klandma
  • False sense of superiority sold separately.

Sounds like Nancy needs to get Maced.

That title is confusing.

No rest rooms? At all? What are they going to use a potted plant?

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 1 month ago

The idea is to make it so that trans people cannot exist in public places.

@[email protected] introduces bill to bar trans bigots from the Capitol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What about trans men? Also what the actual fuck?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

This is just to target one specific trans congresswoman who got elected.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 1 month ago

People like her don't even understand the concept of trans men.
