    Nashville is taking positive steps.... Rep Jones could literally be back in the State House by Tuesday AM

    I wonder if the R's will both even putting up a candidate in either special election? Neither of these men faced an R opponent in their last election.

    Sure. Sometimes regulated, sometimes banned. But NEVER more guns than citizens!!…… -until now. And THAT is nuts!

    There has always been transvestites, transgender, and every version of LGBTQ people. And now genetics has found there is actually something behind many of these conditions.

    You need to be more specific. But the clear answer is “enforce the law”. Today, the DOJ, Garland, and rational authorities are reluctant to apply the law equally to Trump for fear that the RW gun-carrying “pretend militia” might start shooting and have to be killed, precipitating a civil war of nuts against the people. So who is this “guy” and what are the conditions to which you refer?

    I hope they’re just sent back for the reasons you cite. But also, there was no established process followed in expelling them, and I THINK there is one in place which the Republicans ignored. If so, they could probably just be sent back and the Republicans could be scolded like the children they are.

    You KNOW damned well it isn’t an insurrection. I know you’re not ignorant enough to actually believe it is. NOBODY on this forum is. And this is why everyone else says things they do about the right. You know what those things are, too.

    The RW trick is always to turn truth on its head and that is what you have done.

    THE SHOE ONLY PINCHES IN THE OTHER FOOT: Biden and Obama Suddenly Concerned About Democratic ‘Norms’ After Ouster of Tennessee Lawmakers.

    'Now, two of the most powerful Democrats in the country, Joe Biden and Barack Obama, are suddenly concerned about our sacred democratic norms again. Got that? After years of screeching about insurrections and democracy, as their party pushes a bogus indictment of Trump that looks like something out of the third world, now Democrats care about norms.'

    'Democrats who just arrested a former President and leading candidate of the opposition party now say “democracy” is threatened because the Tennessee GOP legislature voted to expel 2 Democrats leading an occupation of the state Capitol and a disruption of official proceedings.'

    'Hear that guys? Storming capitol buildings, shouting down lawmakers & disrupting legislative business is now a peaceful protest according to the President.'

    'The Democrats are literally trying to throw Trump in jail while at the same time calling it "shocking" that Republicans would expel Democrat politicians who by their own logic participated in and organized an insurrection at the Tennessee state capitol.'

    'Man who spied on his party’s opposition and the party who now is trying to falsely imprison that same political opponent decries “erosion of civility and democratic norms.”'

    Who will be the first prosecutor to take Hunter, or his Uncle, or his former sister-in-law/lover into custody?

    NUMBER 1 FAN OF THE MEN FROM TN
    [​IMG]
    'One of the key offenses charged by the government in the January 6 cases is obstruction of an official proceeding in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2). It is the offense to which Jacob Chansley (a/k/a the QAnon Shaman) pleaded guilty in his deal with the prosecutors. The federal statute provides a penalty of imprisonment up to 20 years. The mental element of the offense requires corrupt intent, the definition of which was thrown into doubt yesterday by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.'

    'Yesterday the Tennessee House voted to expel two of three members who participated in the March 30 takeover of the House chamber and disruption of House proceedings. A bare recitation of the facts echoes significant components of the January 6 cases'

    'As members of the House of Representatives debated an education bill, three House Democrats approached the podium, called the “well,” without being recognized to speak — breaching the chamber’s rules of procedure.'

    'With a bullhorn, Rep. Justin Jones, D-Nashville, Rep. Justin Pearson, D-Memphis, and Rep. Gloria Johnson, D-Knoxville, led protestors in the galleries in several chants calling for gun reform.'

    'Sexton immediately recessed the chamber, halting legislative business for nearly an hour before it resumed, and ordered security to clear the House galleries.'

    Sexton huddled with legislative leadership, including House Minority Leader Karen Camper, D-Memphis, and House Democratic Caucus Chair John Ray Clemmons, D-Nashville, during the break in business and before the three lawmakers left the floor.

    'In other words, the three members themselves disrupted the House proceedings and ground official business to a halt.'

    Since J6 Dems have widely claimed that to be "insurrection' justly resulting in long pretrial incarceration under harsh conditions and long prison sentences, and being barred from any future office of trust.

    'it was the three legislators themselves who were responsible for the disruption. It’s as though Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley took over the electoral certification to voice grievances with a bullhorn.'

    Not Greene but Kamalah has assumed the role of defender. Much like she proclaimed the BLM/ANTIFA riots should continue.

    TN GOP Perfectly Handled Insurrection-Instigators

    Tennessee Republicans Show Exactly How To Respond To Left-Wing Hostage-Taking.

    'The Tennessee insurrection-instigators exploited the deaths of six Christians for political fame. They are neither victims nor heroes.'

    'When two Democrat lawmakers joined a mob of left-wing insurrectionists who took over the Tennessee Capitol last week, they were rightfully expelled from the state’s general assembly.'

    'Nashville Rep. Justin Jones and Memphis Rep. Justin Pearson violated the Tennessee General Assembly’s decorum requirements when they held up a protest sign and shouted into a bullhorn, encouraging left-wing rioters who were illegally disrupting legislative proceedings last week.'

    'Eventually, the noise coming from Jones, Pearson, and insurrectionists grew so raucous members of the General Assembly were forced to exit the chamber and suspend legislative business.'

    THAT GOT THEIR ASSES THROWN OUT.

    THE BULL HORN STANDARD: 'Johnson’s own lawyer separated her from Jones and Pearson, pointing out Johnson did not shout, let alone scream into a bullhorn during the Tennessee insurrection. Instead, Johnson stood silently next to the other two men. Johnson survived the expulsion by only one vote but was stripped of her committee assignments.'

    SHE ONLY BEAT THE 2/3RDS EXPULSION BY A SINGLE VOTE.

    EXPELLED RACIST PILE OF CRAP 'Jones described his former colleague, Rep. Sabi “Doc” Kumar, as “a brown face” because Kumar is an Indian immigrant who happens to be Republican. This week, while pretending racism was the cause of his expulsion, Jones found time to double down on this bigotry, saying Kumar is only a Republican because he’s “confused.”'

    'A mob of insurrectionists halting Tennessee’s legislative process with the aid of assembly members is actually undemocratic, as was the politicians’ decisions to egg them on. Jones and Pearson are facing the consequences of subverting American democracy.'

    'Democrats, notably Biden and Obama, have spent the last decade targeting their political opponents and eroding democratic norms and standards in the process. Obama’s Internal Revenue Service infamously targeted conservative organizations, and his administration spied on the Trump campaign under knowingly false pretenses.'

    'Under Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ), Jan. 6 demonstrators, many of whom were truly peaceful, were thrown in jail for two years without due process and slandered by a months-long Congressional show trial that maliciously hid exculpatory surveillance footage from the public and the defendants’ lawyers.'

    'Democrats who are describing the expulsions as unprecedented and undemocratic called for the expulsions of U.S. Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley for objecting to the certification of the 2020 election after Democrats rigged the outcome. '

    'The real victims are the six Christians who were murdered by a transgender shooter, whose deaths are now being used by Democrats for political gain.'

    TENNESSEE IS RIGHT. MAKE THEM LIVE UNDER THEIR OWN RULES.

    The other night Tucker had a member of the Tennessee legislature on the show and he explained how it all happened, put things into perspective.

    Because Nashville is the state Capitol and the scene of the crime, the legislature wanted to help the healing process for those involved in the shooting. The legislature invited people in for that healing process. At first things were just fine, but eventually those invited began to make it all about themselves, and it quickly degraded into what was seen on TV

    Yes, people are angry. It’s not a shock. They are tired of children dying by bullets.

    Degraded? The only thing that was degraded (and disgraced) was the vote to expel the 2 black Congressmen who tried to help the people heal, by voicing their disgust that the legislature wasn't willing to do anything about stopping future crimes...

    Spin starting early I see... As usual, it won't work...

    For me it's not bullets so much as it is toxic serums injected into their little bodies by way of government pressure.

    Another is the ravages to the young bodies by the Satanists pushing gender reassignment surgery.

    The bullets can't really be stopped, all things considered, but the shots and surgery could be stopped.

    Since you apparently support the insurrection that took place in Tennessee's legislature, I was wondering how you felt about that previous event of 1/6.

    After all, people who are delusional enough to think that killers are deterred by laws are just as delusional as the 1/6 rioters were supposed to have been.

    Those enemies of the Constitution who want to eviscerate the 2nd Amendment are "frustrated" that their moronic gun bans can't be gained through fair, rational and legitimate means so they resort to bullhorns, crocodile tears and slander.

    The opportunistic Black politicians who stooped to emotional lows under the guise of "healing" have a long history of attempting to disarm Americans to make the easier prey for the criminals who support gun control (1).

    If nothing else, the gun ban crowd has shown that when it can't obtain its goals through democratic, rational and legitimate means, they'll stoop to mob rule in an attempt to disarm law abiding Americans.

    LOL at "resort to bullhorns", the primary tool of Insurrections everywhere...

    How I felt about 1/6? It was a seditious act, planned by seditionists like Eastman and Trump, with the goal being to prevent certification of a validly elected president, and it made me very angry.

    How did you feel about that?

    First, what was funny about what I wrote concerning "bullhorns, crocodile tears and slander" ?
    :
    "Those enemies of the Constitution who want to eviscerate the 2nd Amendment are "frustrated" that their moronic gun bans can't be gained through fair, rational and legitimate means so they resort to bullhorns, crocodile tears and slander.

    Meanwhile, I really don't think that gun control proponents care as much about saving lives as they are afraid of firearms.
    If they cared about saving lives, they'd focus on what is driving Fentanyl and similar deaths(1) and demand better mental health care which would reduce all kinds of deaths: homicides, suicides, drug overdoses etc

    Re:
    By the time 1/6 occurred I had gotten used to seeing violence in the news because of the far more deadly and destructive BLM riots.
    I condemned the 1/6 riot at the time and I still think that it was stupid and counterproductive.

    What has impressed me the most about all three incidents was the egregious MSM bias that demonized the 1/6 rioters but emphasized if not praised the BLM rioters and the anti gun rioters.

    I'm neither a Democrat nor a Republican and try to be objective but the media bias favoring the Left made the deepest impression on me.

    Of course that bias is going to influence people.

    Thanks,

    EXCERPT " Last year, overdoses from all drugs claimed more than 100,000 lives for the first time, and the deaths this year have remained at nearly the same level — more than gun and auto deaths combined." CONTINUED

    LOL! Maybe, Tucker should show 100s of hours of video from the Tennessee legislature, in which those two representatives behaved perfectly politely, in full compliance with Capitol decorum. Therefore, their expulsion should be overturned.

    As if THAT would ever happen.

    Democrats Go Nuts in Nashville. “This month, there was an ‘assault on democracy’ in Tennessee. It was not three members halting the legislative process, but rather their expulsion. It appears that nothing says democracy like a bullhorn and obstructing legislative work.”

    “The full-throated support for the actions of the expelled legislators is a bizarre position for the Senate president who enforces the same rules in Washington, DC. Yet she was disgusted by sanctioning members who refused to allow their colleagues to continue legislative business because they lacked the votes for a gun control measure. Harris proclaimed ‘it’s about whose voices they were channeling.’ . . . These legislators were upset because they are in the minority and lack sufficient votes to get what they want. They were protesting the democratic process, not advancing its principles in shutting down the floor.”

    'It’s always “democracy” if you’re channeling the voices of Democratic activists; it’s alway “insurrection” if you’re taking the other side.'

    Their colleagues have spoken.

    'The GOP in Tennessee has the cojones to stand up and do the right thing. Too many Dems have degenerated to such a point where elected representatives engage in naked thuggery to incite violence within the walls of the state capital in order to hijack the legislative process to impose their will on the citizenry. But Republicans stood up and did their duty in expelling the criminal thugs.'

    Thanks for reminding me... had a mental note to check on this today, but it was YOUR silly post that reminded me..

    https://www.tennessean.com/story/ne...-tennessee-house-representatives/70099905007/

    Pearson's council in Memphis meets Wednesday, and I expect the same result.

    Both will be resounding reelected in their "Special Elections"

    If that's what their constituents wish, they have the freedom to do so, and if they misbehave like that again, they will get tossed out on their insurrectionist asses, again.

    It's only an interaction if it's people that are perceived as right-wing doing the protesting.

    I remember the tea party.
