Tennessee GOP begins expulsion process for 3 Democrats, House session devolves into chaos

Ah yes, the old " look what you made us do" bullshit comes out.

 

Gen Z is showing up big time to protest…

 

Can I say I’m glad someone is dead?
LOL

 

So, the white congress woman was not expelled in a very close vote. Good for her.

It will be interesting to see if the second black congressman is expelled.

 

I think it actually began with Robert Bork.

 

They are targeting minority majority districts. Is it OK to call for riots in the streets? They have good cause.

 

The moral majority ended badly last time. But decades of gerrymandering and hyper partisanship might have changed that. Both parties have their, the other side is destroying democracy, no negotiation, talking points. Just elfing sad. Anyone trying to stand up would be cancelled and death threats galore.

No voting by mail, no voting at colleges, no voting in poor neighborhoods (fewer locations for folks without transportation). Hmmm and all that was with a pesky consent decree.

Looking like gender fluid micro aggressions vs the Taliban. Common ground, defunding police and education.

I go back to my theory of majority of each party to pass anything. Or mass deportation of all elected officials.

ymmv. Go Gators

 

I can see that but I still think Gingrich put things in overdrive.

Bork was still associated with Nixon and the Saturday Night Massacre and I think that hurt him more than anything.

 

So Tuesday it's Trump and Thursday it's Newt.

Can't wait for Saturday...

 

Dont discount Obama's contribution to the issue. He alienated a group that already felt disenfranchised. Both sides are to blame but ultimately it is the electorate to blame. Foreign influences actively encouraging hyperpartisanship thru social media have just amplified it

 

Was Obama’s contribution that he was black? Let’s face it, some folks could never get past that.

 

That group alienated itself as soon as he was elected. Wonder why?

 

I'll agree that he faced prejudice but rather than try to diffuse it he amplified the division for his own benefit.

Cling to your guns and bibles

Get in the back of the bus were driving now

Bring a gun to a knife fight
He was an Alinsky disciple who used confrontation to stir emotion.

Why can't we be honest and admit that both sides fed into the worst of us.

Spock was right, emotions will be the downfall of the human race

 

Predictably Faux News “straight” news guy devoted not one second to this story but nearly five minutes to the 21’st murder in SanFran this year and a rando story of thre teens murdered in Fl.

 

I'm not sure how you guys can possibly side with these three. I mean after reading for 2 minutes I can conclude these 3 approached the podium with a bullhorn and started exchanging chants with protesters? I need to read no further to know where I stand on this. I'm sorry but if that ain't trying to incite a riot I don't know what is. Do it in a government proceeding and it sounds as much like an insurrection as anything I saw on Jan 6.

 

Def no bullhorns, that’s inciting a riot. Loud voices is basically the story of The Boston Tea Party.

Literal bull horns, “tourists.”

 

Tennessee being Tennessee. Two black dudes expelled. White woman saved.

 

Ah they made it racist too by only expelling the black guys, republicans just can’t help themselves.
