She should just start on day one pissing in bottles and having aides deliver them to the idiot's office.
Seems like something Mikey might be into.
Piss on these chuckle fucks to assert dominance.
Kinky
"It's either the women's room or the floor. Your choice."
Are we sure that pic actually shows a women's washroom? It looks far too clean.
Yeah, I've worked on the cleanup crew in a few restaurants, and I'd rather clean a men's room, hands down.
I just want to read her response to ask this and I can't seem to get to it. This article and another from the guardian doesn't even go to the referenced story.
Then I found a website that quotes her "pee in peace" comment and when I click on that link, which theoretically goes to her blue sky account, it says the post is deleted.
So then I remind the post specific information from the URL so it'll go directly to, what I presume to be, her blue sky account people. (It's literally the first time I've ever clicked a link that goes to Blue sky, so I'm not 100% sure that the URL is correct.) it seems correct though because now it says her account is suspended.
She must be scary as hell since every path I take to try to get information on this keeps getting blocked.
🤬
Found her twitter, but the post seems to have only been on bluesky. All well. I tried. I'm sure there will be plenty of articles on this.
From the guardian. She apparently isn't affiliated with the bluesky account
A fake account? What the hell is wrong with people?
A truly valid question. I feel like lies and fraud are way too normalized now
In the post, which features a photo of McBride in a bathroom, McBride says “Here, I am using a women’s restroom in North Carolina that I’m technically barred from being in.”
That wasn’t in the link, and it seems kind of weird - where did she post it? (If it was Xitter i have it blocked, but i still expected the text to be in the article and I didn’t see it)
But on Wednesday, after Johnson’s announcement, McBride responded with a post on X: “I’m not here to fight about bathrooms, I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families. Like all members, I will follow the rules as outlined by Speaker Johnson, even if I disagree with them … serving in the 119th Congress will be the honor of a lifetime, and I continue to look forward to getting to know my future colleagues on both sides of the aisle.”

Well she needs to get off the Xitter then.
Hah? Ahh?? Haheenhhh! Yyyeah. Nailed it.
It is important to note that each Member office has its own private restroom, and unisex restrooms are available throughout the Capitol.
“Women deserve women’s only spaces,” his statement concluded.
So what exactly is the issue here? Seems pretty reasonable to me.
Then Johnson should've kept his mouth shut instead of spouting off about gender segregated bathrooms.
Exactly. Seems like everything was fine and there was no need to target and bully a new member of Congress for no reason. After all, they all have their own space in their office.
