So proud of my home state

Before long the Left will claim more fake officer deaths on 1/6 than Bama claims fake nattys in football.

All while ignoring the horrific murder of Ashli Babbot

Either "communist" or "socialist." If "socialism" bothers you, cut up your Medicare card and pay for your own health insurance, and farmers can see how they fare without farm subsidies, among other very worthwhile government programs.

It’s cute when people clueless about socialism think it’s about government programs.

Well when the black ones get expelled and the white one doesn't....

The black ones and the white one didn’t commit the same offense. Tennessee House speaker pushes back on 'false narrative,' racism accusations after expulsion of two Dems

That's a stretch. She was up there with the other two and they hadn't kidnapped her.
Expulsion of any of them was a short-sighted partisan overreaction. Those who voted for expulsion deserve all the grief they're getting.

How is Medicare socialist, given that socialism is government ownership of the means of production?

Being called a racist is the most overused and tired name calling in the world today. I think every black person of sub saharan African descent in America today carries a pack of racist cards around and pulls them out whenever the cry baby doesn't get his way. I'm sick of the victim crap, grow a set and become a man without blaming someone else for your problems.

Many do but more don't.

Fascist is coming in hot as overused

Fascist, communist, and socialist are all overused and misused.

Cackling skank? Communists?

Behold Trumpism at its finest!

Sorry. One token, 2 commies.

They dont care about facts, but it's good to point it out for those of us who do.

Nice, the right's version of the race card. Well played I guess.

Nope. It’s Dixiecrat Joe trying to deflect from Democrats being the historically associated party of the slave south and his own racism by having a complete imbecile be his VP just because of optics. Qualifications be damned does he/her/they show the reflection of our fake concern for inclusivity. All dems care about is optics. And before you go talking about repubs I could care less about them too. Doesn’t hurt my feelings either way. Both parties need to burn.

I keep seeing people on here and elsewhere saying drag shows are being banned but I'm not seeing that. If I'm mistaken then game for someone to let me know.

They're pissed off because they can't legally sexually mutilate children.

I used to think so but I'm not so sure anymore. I think many democrats in power have a different view of China than most Americans.

lol.....That nonsense of tying the dem party to the slave south is so tired. No one falls for it. It's pretty obvious to all how the parties line up with issues of race and minority groups in general.
But both parties do need to move back toward the middle....one far more than the other.

You can see from the political map in 1948 that African-Americans were fighting the Democrats for their rights in the south. When the Dixiecrats broke away from the Democratic party, it was the Republicans from the red states that were there to pass Civil Rights legislation all the way through the 60s.

I don’t have a dog in the fight. The legislature there, like any of them, have rules of process, procedure, and decorum. Activist legislators don’t get to lead or be the face of in chamber protest.

The third representative, the white one, and her lawyer argued in hearing that she did not do the same thing as they, which was using a bullhorn to shout the legislature out of business. Now she wants to claim it was racism. She retained her office by a single vote.

Quite accurate, when dems do it, it's democracy. When conservatives do it, it's an insurrection or treason. Luther, try being somewhat consistent

That is against the narrative.

Tennessee House expulsion: A quick history of legislative actions

Appears the Volunteer state has something of a history expelling members violating rules, regardless of affiliation or pigmentation.

Trump got Babbitt killed--big, fat fact.

Tennessee Republicans are corrupt--fact. Bunch of good 'ole boys who ignore the rules of the House, ram through bills they like while
quashing attempts to get real vote counts. Lots of voice votes in which GOP committee chairman make very dubious decisions. Amendments
to bill tacked on at the 11th hour--amendments that House Democrats or the public no nothing about. TV
news story on all this a couple of days ago. They kick out two black representatives because they were embarrassed by students coming to the statehouse to confront them about mass shootings in schools. It's still the 1950s in the deep South.

The latest is that Sexton, the GOP House Speaker, doesn't even live in his district. He lives and represents Crossville but he and his family spend
most of their time in or close to Nashville, which does not seem to be legal. His kids attend a school in or near Nashville. He's also been billing taxpayers large sums for supposed trips back and forth to Crossville--far more trips than he's proably taken--possibly padding his income by tens of thousands of dollars. Also, in typical GOP fashion, he refuses to answer questions on the matter--which one can interpret as a sign of guilt. Follow the thread below.

Not according to the video footage. It was police officers on the outside letting even encouraging protesters to go inside the capital. It was also a freaking coward who shot an unarmed woman for doing nothing. But the "select" committee had no desire to get to the bottom of what actually happened on J6.

Please leave the state legislature to the adults. If you would like to see how a super majority looks on the other side California is losing people faster than Luther is losing brain cells.
