    Did you ever think the way democrats politicized 1/6, the arrests, the no bail for protesters, the prison time for them, the imoeachnents, Trump indictment etc, may have set the tone for what we see now?

    The left starts a war and claims it’s not fair when their enemy fights back. You guys even brought racism into this but ignored the tranny part that got the ball rolling. Has Biden visited Nashville yet?

    Look all of them up, drag their photos through the media while calling them domestic terrorists.

    Of course it's a BFD, but I'm not sure what can be done if the state cannot be punished economically. Somebody mentioned FedEx might be have to get involved in some way as the largest employer in the state.

    I heard that the districts of those 2 men can somehow send them directly back to the House by following some procedure. That has to happen at least.

    You can always go there to spit on the ground;)

    But seriously the republicans are shooting themselves in the foot so badly. This was teens, you know, 2024 or 2026 voters, pizzed off because they are “generation lockdown”. Think the GOP is going to appeal to them?

    If it’s Fox it’s false is my motto. Remember we had Rupert before you did and we know that he will sacrifice truth in an instant if he can smell money. He is the originator of “fake news click bait”

    No! Absolutely not! Did you ever think what Trump and the Republicans did may have led directly to what we see now?

    Wow! Are you f-ing SERIOUS? Yes, you are. The left started nothing but we will end it, and soon. What homophobia and genderphobia brings “tranny” into this? Nobody thinks transgender is any of their business except for the authoritarian and intolerant haters. And speaking of racism, this event today puts the lie to the RW claims of there being no racism and no systemic racism. It was all on display in the Tennessee Republicans today.

    I think we’ll see that the people are fed up and ready, with this crap happening, to throw lots of Republicans out. Just think of all the kids who side with the kids who protested. In a very few years they will be voting. I think the Republicans know it and that has the scared enough to rush to install their fascist dictatorship as fast as they can.

    And BTW, those two Representatives they threw out have to stand for re-election I believe. There are two empty seats and the Tennessee taxpayers will have to pay millions for a special election to fill them.

    Why bring tranny into this? How many times did the left try to blame MAGA for shootings? We’re now seeing ,ass shootings by trannies and one in CO was just prevented. You can talk about MAGA but not trannies?

    The left started it with their 1/6 persecutions, their targeting of parents, their impeachments their Trump indictments. You guys were warned this crap would happen but didn’t stop.

    There have always been transgender people. The new addition to the equation is GUNS. So maybe it’s neither. Maybe the problem is right-handed people. Or maybe it’s people wearing camo and bullet proof vests. Or maybe it’s people WITH GUNS.

    So the sane people enforce the law and try to maintain law and order and functionality of the country, and you say that is what caused the right to go batshit crazy and that the rest of us were “warned this crap would happen”. And that’s your defense? LOL!!!!

    on a facebook conversation, someone was whining about Trump and the Koch family and I pointed out what a turd Soros is and some Catholic woman who married into a Jewish family called me "anti semitic and "racist" for attacking SOROS for backing woke DAs. it's almost pavlovian with the wokeflakes

    There have always been guns, always. The left has been screaming about a mental health crisis in this country and a guy who thinks he’s a girl stares them in the face they see no mental health problem and celebrate him.

    As for your second part, do you believe no one is above the law or not? The laws in Tennessee allow for what happened. Like I said, I think expulsion was a little harsh. Did you think impeachment was a little harsh, or did you want the guy gone by any means possible?

    I once started a thread about all the hundreds of things the left calls racist. Guess what? The left said I was obsessed with race and called me a racist.

    the race and "anti semitic" card has lost its sting in educated circles. I generally write it off as the weapon of the intellectually impotent

    I'm hearing both could happen. A special election needs to be called, but these 2 guys could be sent back as "temporary" representatives until they win again.

    Most special elections are due to the elected person dying, and that's not the case here..

    Interesting political options coming here... At the end of the day, likely all that will be accomplished here is the cost of 2 special elections to achieve what they already had yesterday.

    That's brilliant use of state resources...

    Well, how do YOU explain the results of yesterdays 3 votes?

    Too many men on the floor?

    Can't WAIT to read this response, although I suspect I'll be disappointed.....

    Well, that was certainly one way to go.... I'll give you credit for not pushing an obviously false narrative...
