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

OH!!!!!
So, I guess everyone did know what I meant by the stories of the past of these guys.
I didn't imply that it would justify what the legislature did but maybe there is more layers to the story than just a bunch of old white racist being racist.

 

Some more citizen push back to be ignored.
Thousands of outraged Christians demand Tennessee Republican's resignation

• Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton has been met with outrage after organizing a vote to expel two Democrat lawmakers from the house.
• Thousands of Christians are now demanding his resignation in an online petition.
• 
  Thousands of Christians have signed an online petition by Faithful America demanding Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton's resignation.

 

Now wait a minute. You could have:
- posted what you heard and asked if anyone knew it was true
- even better, posted a link to where that report came from and asked if anyone knew it was true
- or even better, looked it up yourself and if it was true, come back and tell the board.

but you did none of those. And then complained that no one on the board rushed off to try to figure out what you were talking about and whether or not it was true.
the fact that no one did all that for you means the board is a circle jerk?

 

You would have to ask the Tennessee legislature to get the right answer. I was just suggesting that maybe it's actually more than just a matter of a strong rebuke that was needed for their insurrection. Unless no one should be held account able for such acts?

Just because these people are elected officials does NOT mean that they are immune from prosecution. They are NOT above the law. They actually participated in the insurrection.

 

Lol... yes your feigned indignation is duly noted. It must suck having so many "D"iffernt rules, for the Pubs than the Dems have, to keep tabs on.

 

They were expelled for "bringing disorder and dishonor to the House." Even the Tennessee republicans weren't stupid enough to call that an insurrection.

 

In my never ending but futile attempt to eliminate reading worthless garbage on this board, I am blocking you.

 

Insurrection? Seriously?
What you wrote is applicable to Trump but nobody in 10rc

 

I agree with the first part. If the state constitution grants the house this power, there must be a situation in which it was conceived as a proper course of action.

But let me ask you this: Do you think that this coalition would have expelled members for the exact same offense if they happened to be Republicans? I think the answer is “no way”, and if so, that demonstrates that this is not a proper response to this situation.

 

At this point I guess the outcome was that the Republicans gave the Democrats a huge gift by presenting themselves as the party of old white racists. This may not affect any political race in Tennessee, but you can be sure it will have national implications.

 

Oh, dear. FAFO Speaker Sexton

 

And she is a lobbyist representing companies pursuing state contracts. Corruption Rules.

 

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess most of those are black. That doesn’t really count as Christians to the GOP.

 

We make fun of Tennessee for a reason

 

Did you bother to read the replies?
Everyone on here knew exactly what stories I was talking about. Why would I bother to go find the truth and bring back to the board? You know the responses, source no good unless it meets the standards of the pivot people on this forum. If you don't know what makes this forum a circle jerk than I can't help with that.

 

Well, I tried to understand your thinking and its implications but got no response. In regards to your cryptic reference about the legislators past I wrote:

and yet:
