Sorry but... neanderthal libel.

Just because you gave the equivalent of the legislative death penalty to two young Black men over a gun violence protest when much less severe rebukes were available to you! These clowns can't even make sure that legislators stay dead after the death penalty. Jones and Pearson are both back. 😎

I'm not going to Google this, but I thought the rules don't allow House members to be expelled more than once. (In a term? For the same "offense"?). If that's the case, these wizards accomplished absolutely nothing ...

The Republic they are referring to is the Confederate Republic. They're all racist traitors.

Cepicky represents Columbia, home to a notorious race riot in the late 1940s. And by race riot, I mean lynching. Cepicky must know this history, but what he learned from it seems to be to repeat it.

They've energized young voters against them. They will scramble now to make it even harder to vote in Tennessee, already one of the most gerrymandered and voter suppressed states in the country. The Republicans in the state legislature are a mix of morons, clowns, and the houseboat-elite trying to create some sort of hillbilly Galt's Gulch, in the hopes of attracting more racist fuckwits from out of state to their corporate-policestate distopia.It's going to take overcoming severe voter suppression and apathy to make any meaningful change. But the idiots gave us the key to do it when they cracked Nashville into 5 Congressional districts. There's enough eligible voters in Nashville Davidson county that don't bother to vote, to completely flip at least four out of five of those seats.

Oh we have more than a few clowns in the TN state legislature that participated in Jan 6.

TN is a big deal for a different reason. TN is the poster child of republican supermajority vote suppression. They aren't even sly or shy about it. They literally told the media that the reason they excluded college IDs from the voter ID law was those dumb kids don't vote right (paraphrasing). If as ratfucked as TN is, it were to flip back to democrat or at least swing state status, it would be the sign that numbers have finally exceeded they capacity to suppress.

They have a big opinion of themselves. It comes from being too stupid to recognize one's own insignificance.

Oh they are bugfuck insane. They absolutely believe the idiocy they spew. The rich folks courted the racists and morons to get state income tax banned by amendment, and then the morons decided those rich folks were Rinos, and now a bunch of upper middleclass (that pass for rich in Tennessee because of enforced poverty on the masses) wackos who believe every idiot thing that comes out of magaland are running the place. They were terrified that BLM and Antifa were gonna come burn down podunk towns in the middle of nowhere.

This has given something to fight back with. So many in our legislature are modern day carpet baggers here to exploit the state's coffers and resources without given a nickel back to the communities. That their corruption is finally getting national news all because they couldn't contain their racism delights me to no end.

Oh you'd have to visit Crossville to understand just how big a rock those assholes have found to hide under.

That place was still a "sunset" town in the 1990s. Racist as hell. There's a giant retirement community full of golf courses and condos (likely where sexton bought his fake residence), that is basically white flight central. Full of Ohioans and Michiganders mostly that have relocated because their neighborhoods "went down hill".

Crossville might just be one of the biggest rocks in the state.

It's everywhere you go in Tennessee too. Was just out for a drink and some wings last night, and the love musician was doing some great covers of 90's rock and even some not awful county songs. Still had to throw in the obligatory Rocky Top.
