Child molester. Not expelled.
Guy pissed on somebody else's seat. Not expelled.


Black guy represents the will of his constituents. Instantly expelled.



More like a group of 3 representatives that hijacked the podium and used a bullhorn to the point where the legislative session couldn't continue.


On that note though I agree that the other persons should have been expelled for the crap they did as well.

White woman does the same thing at the same time: not expelled


I guess I should have called it an "assault democracy" since that's a scary-looking tyranny of the majority

Yeah that's definitely worse than molesting children and pissing in somebody's chair. The Tennessee legislature is the height of ethics.

You didn't read my post, I think all of the actions mentioned were worthy of expulsion however we are not judging the other cases at this time we are judging the actions of those booted this time.


If you want to scream and make a scene then join the protestors in the gallery or outside trying to influence lawmakers. If you want to work to solve issues then behave like a lawmaker and work to make the changes.

So the actions mentioned were worthy of expulsion but didn't get expelled.

But the two black guys got expelled for something way less.

Almost like there's maybe a racial and partisan component to the expulsion.


This is just what MLK said all over again. When peaceful means cannot yield justice unpeaceful means becomes inevitable. Civility politics like you're advocating (you can molest kids as long as you don't interrupt proceedings) just yields dead children.

The removal of the lawmakers, who were only recently elected, reflects a trend in dozens of states where Republicans are trying to make it harder to cast ballots and challenging the integrity of the election process.

There's really a problem with these people.
