And not for nothing, this seems like a pretty big gamble the TN leg is taking if they (a body of the state) are going to fire people from their jobs (with the state) for exercising their 1A rights...like, I don't think it matters if it's a right to work since they were elected to serve and expulsion for attending a protest doesn't seem like the most protected cause even under federalism rules. Lawyers, what say you? I mean, if they're expelled for attending a peaceful protest, the every elected official who took part in J6 should be expelled too. And there were elected officials there. I mean, it's only fair. Oh right, hypocrisy. My bad. Listening to this on the news this morning and had the EXACT thoughts.

Anyone see what happened with the vote in TN? I can’t find any posts about what happened with that.

I do not like Jill Biden wanting to invite Iowa to the White House. It should be LSU only. Like always. It's a shitty look and i don't know what she's thinking.

I don't even know what to say about TN. It gives me chills. Things like that seem like how dystopian franchises start. I wish the fucking NRA had never been established. I wish 98% of guns were too expensive even for well off people to buy. Like $10k for something that held more than 5 bullets. These people are batshit and I'm pretty fucking nervous about next year's election. The thought of having everything JB has done undone just like TFG did after Obama, possibly to an even worse degree, is devastating. They thought they had 2020 in the bag and were cocky. Now all of them are just completely unhinged and it feels close to everything imploding. They will do whatever they have to to win next year and it's fucking scary. I know we all know it, but having TFG as president rung a bell we can’t unring. I think his 4 years were chaotic and problematic for many reasons, but I fear the aftermath of his term is far worse than his term was.

I do feel like Clark has really opened up fans to NCAA women’s basketball with her unbelievable skills this tournament, and she broke several records, but LSU won. They shouldn’t change tradition.

What the fucking fuck indeed to that. The "bad people will always get guns" argument makes me IRATE. Do we just descend into anarchy then and have zero laws because there will always be criminals? These asshats don't even understand the dangerous shit they say.

Talk about completely missing the point.
But I guess, yeah, if kids being shot at school is a forgone conclusion we can at least do parents the favor of being able to easily identify their bodies. JFC 🖕

From the videos I saw, those sitting in were not having it and he pulled the “I just want to hear what he has to say.” He was doing the answer a question with a question bullshit.

Just got home from voting. My H took the baby when he voted, and I took her with me today, so insert vote about democrats voting twice 😆
Keeping all appendages crossed and hoping for all the good vibes for WI. I’m afraid to be hopeful BUT R’s can’t gerrymander their way onto the Supreme Court.

Have you seen that guy on TikTok (I think he's Australian?) who regularly screams "WHAT THE FUUUUUCK?!?!" in his car all the time? That's me, in my head right now. I just don't fucking understand.

oh yeah. jaygee i love Maren Morris and followed all the recent clash between her and Brittany Aldean. Then the gymnast Shawn Johnson, who lives in Nashville, shared Brittany's Instagram post after the shooting ("Now is not the time for politics.") and I took notes then too. What! Immediate Unfollow Shawn. 😑

We've got warnings about potential large hail tomorrow morning. Not looking forward to that.

Our polls close in 14 minutes... I'm trying to patiently wait and refresh like it's going to update.
