    The stupid part is that the world’s most powerful government, with the biggest military, billionaires and the world at their disposal … and they still use public washrooms with a dozen other people.

    These guys are so wealthy and powerful that they should all have dedicated toilets just for themselves or to install individual private toilets without having to interact with anyone.

    Public toilets … going to take a shit like a regular pleb

      So that’s not exactly true.

      There are around 40 offices in the Capitol Building, each of which has a private restroom. The rest of the members have offices in nearby buildings.

      There are also private, members only restrooms in non-public areas of the building. These are single occupancy rooms.

      Multi-occupancy restrooms are for staff and the public.

      This whole thing is absurd theater. McBride has been offered access to several private restrooms, so there’s no reason for her to go into a public, multi-occupancy restroom.

        McBride never went inside and expressed that she will comply with the ban. I agree it’s theatrics to cause a commotion though.
