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.

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

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.

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.

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?

Piss in his office. Fucking asshole republicans should mind their own business.

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.
