The three Democrat representatives who encouraged student rioters at the Tennessee State Capitol last week have reportedly been stripped of their committee assignments and are facing a vote Thursday on articles of expulsion.

This is how it should be done.
And before the hand wringers show up with "we can't do that because the Democrats will retaliate", I give you the January 6 political prisoners and Trump in NYC April 4, 2023. (i.e. they're doing it already, and using false pretenses to do so)

Good - Maxine waters and pelosi and Chuckie Schumer and Kamala Harris should all be stripped and expelled from office for the same reason

[HamiltonJay]

As they should be.

They should also be Charging, Arresting and Prosecuting every last democrat rioter that came in that day. 10-20 for all of them.

My "favorite" line from people supposedly on our side is "Oh, we can't stoop to their level. We have to play fair to show them we mean them no harm."

Those days ARE OVER.

Yesterday I couldn't figure out what was really going on. The media wasn't telling the whole story.
Now this information explains everything. They should be expelled.

"My "favorite" line from people supposedly on our side is "Oh, we can't stoop to their level. We have to play fair to show them we mean them no harm.""

Sort of like Asa Hutchison announcing a presidential run minutes after Trump's indictment is announced, and going further claiming Trump cutting a record with the J6 prisoners singing the NATIONAL ANTHEM "undermines democracy"?

[Bshaw]

Is this the bullhorn brigade from within?

[1Old Pro]

This is how it should be done.

Darn right

[Bob434]

Ah, so that incident was nothing but a riot, whereas Jan 6 was an “insurrection” despite noone having guns, and everyone for the most part being peaceful and respectful.

2 tier justice system!

Golly. So sad. Per the article it looks like this trio shouldn’t be buying unripe bananas. GOP controls 75 of the chamber’s 99 seats. Yikes!

In Sun Tzu’s book The Art of War are many reasonable ways to conduct a conflict. Though not specifically stated, one of the published corollaries to his writings is this: “If one is not prepared to be as ruthless as your opponent, your victory is not assured.”

We are long past the time when “turning the other cheek” and “we don’t want to stoop to their level” are admirable and embraceable tenets. It may come to pass that those beliefs will get you dead.

Hutchinson is just a Bush-Leaguer anyway

[logi_cal869]

I have a minor correction:

“If one is not prepared to be as MORE ruthless as than your opponent, your victory is not assured.”

[csvset]

Yes, Johnson, Jones, Pierson

[Tench_Coxe]

"he’s just hawking a book. Not a serious candidate. I wouldn’t worry to much."

The way I see it, that "underming democracy" comment 'legitimizes' the injustice being done, because the media will run with it ala "bipartisan".

That's not right.

All of the usual suspects, liberal white woman, and two rent-a-blacks (got that from Jesse Lee Peterson).
