If any Representative or Senator breaks their chambers rules, they should face the exact same thing the three Democrats in Tennessee faced. You get tried by the rules on the books and if found guilty (which two of them were), it is the door for you.

Never thought I would see the day when Kalm and BDK have the exact same mentality when it comes to politics. Might be a sign that my time is up here.

Ouch…that hurts!

After a cup of tea I might have been harsh in that comparison but you are not far behind him and gaining.

I call a spade a spade, because lying means keeping track of all the lies and I am not smart enough for that (it is also why I don't troll people). I speak my piece and let the chips fall where they may.

I prefer this one by Pope.

Good policy WB and the older I get the more I’m adopting that.

And fantastic quotes by pope right there.

The GOP in Tennessee is just a crap show at this moment. I get it that you can't really tolerate members of the legislature pulling out a bullhorn and protesting on the assembly's floor. But at the same time, how do you manage to expel just the black guys and not the white woman when they did the same thing? How they couldn't see that outcome as problematic, at a minimum, is just another example of how politics just sucks right now in America. The GOP should be mortified at the outcome in Tennessee but I suspect they really don't give a damn either. Wonderful for the rest of us.

Agree the optics are horrible but Johnson didn't play much of a roll in the disruption so I thought that it was fair that she did not have the same actions as her two colleges.

A great point of discussion is whether or not they should have censured the three instead of expulsion. I think they should have based on this being their first offense.

The Democrats in the chamber during the review did themselves no favors either by trying to turn the proceedings into a circus.

If you think people are going to delve into the details on that to understand why the one white woman didn't get expelled and the two black guys did, then you're missing the point. Same with the Dems making it into a circus - it was to their advantage to make it a circus. Now the imagery is out there, the GOP didn't want to talk about guns so they got rid of the black guys, but not the white woman. Politics being about messaging and imaging sucks, but it's the way it is.

I do not think they will at all and that lack caring about things outside of our self will just continue to exacerbate our descent into partisan politics and extremism.

Could it have been handled better by the Republicans there? I whole hardheartedly agree and they should have known how shallow people are and the optics that this could go in. That they didn't only makes them slightly better than the three clowns that caused the ruckus. I am not trying to give them a pass, just provide some much needed facts the the discussion on here.

Are there parallels between that hearing and the January 6 Committee with Republicans and Democrats switching roles?

The truth does that sometimes ...

If you take part in an insurrection you should be expelled..

*Record scratch

*Narrator voice: So finally, years later, BDK officially recognizes that January 6th was in fact an insurrection.

And he wants to expel/deport the participants.

More than I wish or am comfortable with. Just a different scene in the same play, with the actors swapping lines.

CID's plan of buying a boat and leaving, looks more and more appealing these days.

Wrong. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of the left claiming that 1/6 storming of the US Capitol was an insurrection and those involved should be expelled, but that the storming of the Tenn Capitol building wasn’t an insurrection and those involved shouldn’t be treated the same.

[BDKJMU]

If you take part in an insurrection you should be expelled.

When are Stewart Rhodes, Roberto Minuta, Joseph Hackett, David Moerschel and Edward Vallejo leaving the US?

Who involved in the insurrection at the Tenn Capitol has been expelled from the US?

[Winterborn]

[BDKJMU]

Or should we have been like Tennessee and just expelled the black GOP members of congress?

How is it a crapshow? They have a supermajority in both state houses, hold every major statewide office, both senators, and went for Trump by 23 points, with 92 of 95 counties voting for him.

They did vote to expel her 65-30, which was apparently 1 vote short.

Were all 3 of them doing the exact same thing during the protest excuse me insurrection? Usually in these types of things you have some whose actions are worse than others.

Going for trump by 23 points gives credence to Ganny’s statement.

You shouldn't kick someone out of Kentucky or another state for an insurrection in Tennessee.

No. CA, NY, AZ, FL apparently.

You’re the one who said kick guys out of Tenn who don’t live in Tenn.

As far as insurrections go, January 6 > Tennessee.
