    Of course-- truth has no import, for the Party Of Trump. Isn't it from Truth, that the Freedom Caucus, got it's name?

    Minimizes WHAT? The OP gives scant details, and the 2nd reply asks Steve N to relate what he knows, since the poster says he could not find in the links, the details that Steve N offers. At this point, I'm guessing this is at least as much hoax, as truth-- conveniently timed to try to distract, from Trump's indictment.

    Haven't seen much proof of lefties in disguise. There have been convictions of Trumpers disguising themselves though.

    Maybe I missed something.

    Does anyone happen to know what, specifically, the protesters want?

    Thanks,

    Consistently wrong, it’s honestly impressive at this point. And no one has to take a pot shot at you.

    Some of us are don’t base our opinion on which team it is, difficult to comprehend — I know

    FAFO edition: TN legislature playing hardball w gun control protest members

    'Five days ago, in response to the horrific school shooting rampage by a transgender murderer that left 6 people dead, gun control and trans rights activists' lost their collective minds.

    Activists stormed the Tennessee’s State Capitol Thursday.

    'insurrection were battling with cops as they attempted to gain access to the legislature in Nashville.'

    'In a separate demonstration, trans activists yesterday invaded Kentucky’s State Capitol in Frankfort to protest a bill to ban transgender procedures for children. Among the mob was a self-described ‘genderqueer clown nun’'

    'a menacing, thunderous mob attempting to influence a legislative session and harassing members of the House body.'

    Some Dems backed the insurrection and where promptly stripped of committees.

    [​IMG]

    'They’ve cut off their electronic access passes and are planning to expel these people from the legislature.'

    This ass hat was on the floor with a bull horn and refused to come to order so that business could be conducted, because he knew he was going to lose the vote.

    [​IMG]

    They giving the Democrat leadership an opportunity to sanction the 3 'lawmakers' who obstructed proceedings, but, if the leadership does not sanction them, expulsion is on the table, Thursday.

    Yes, it triggers those who are in denial about the reality of Jan 6.

    The people in Tennessee were no more attempting insurrection than the people of Jan 6. They were petitioning their government for change, just like the people of Jan 6.

    The differences were that the Tennessee crowd WERE very aggressive and pushy with the police officers, while the Jan 6 were not. Also, Jan 6 crowd was being egged on by government assets like Ray Epps and various police officers.

    It is no longer surprising to see such rank hypocrisy demonstrated here by posters. What was described as "worse than 911" regarding Jan 6 is just a walk in the park for the Tennessee trans people.

    Tennessee Legislators Who Aided and Abetted Insurrectionists Stripped of Committee Assignments and May Be Expelled

    'Last week, leftwing insurrectionists stormed the Tennessee Capitol Building in what at least one observer calls' "the most violent insurrection in human history. "

    'Now Tennessee's legislators are looking to expel those who provided moral aid and comfort to these seditionists.'

    American Greatness Drops Some Knowledge.

    'The three Democrat representatives who encouraged student rioters at the Tennessee State Capitol last week have been stripped of their committee assignments and are facing a vote Thursday on articles of expulsion.'

    EXPEL THEM

    'Tennessee State Troopers were forced to intervene as a pro-gun control mob stormed the state capitol during a session of the legislature on March 30.'

    'State Reps. Justin Jones, Justin Pierson, and Gloria Johnson all reportedly joined the rioters in the well of the chamber, where they shouted slogans through a shared bullhorn.'

    ATTEMPTED TO OBSTRUCT A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE'S LEGISLATURE BECAUSE THEY KNEW THEY WERE GOING TO LOSE THE VOTE.

    were they trying to overturn an election?

    did they attack the cops?

    did they break in to the capital via broken windows?

    did the President hold a pep talk before the attack to incite them?

    She sure seems extremely popular with those on the left... Pretty sure the first time I ever heard of her was a thread here at PF started by someone on the left.

    No one watches you more than those that hate you the most

    Aaaannnnnd this is the basis for a Jan 6 whataboutism. First set the goal posts so far apart that they will incorporate any crime within the state. Second use biased reports Third keep these rewritten facts for future debates

    Well, even I have to admit that it is entertaining to guess what her next malapropism will be

    Trespassing on public property is legally problematic to successfully prosecute if the person is there during normal hours for a purpose associated with the use of the property. In this case, wanting your legislature to hear your position on a public policy matter by being in a common area during normal hours would be a hard thing to pull off as a charge. I know a guy who got banned from the utilities payment building by someone for cursing at her and then arrested for trespassing when he went back. Granted I don't live in TN, but the judge said they can't ban him from a public building he has legitimate business with when he is there to conduct legitimate business. Said they could prosecute him if he curses at people for cursing in public, but that is it.

    Your post is sheer bullshit--
    "No demonstrators broke into the Capitol,
    no one was arrested or injured, and no property was damaged.

    But legislative business in the House was brought to a halt when three elected Democratic representatives stood at the podium with a bullhorn to lead protestors in the galleries in calls for gun reform."


    Do you not understand that this sort of thing is naturally going to cause any honest debater, to start dismissing anything that seems unlikely, that you post, as simply being a lie? Do you just never expect to drop any real bombs on Democrats, so see no need to protect your reputation for that day?


    PATHETIC.



    Beyond pathetic.
