I was listening to Jordan Peterson. He said that when young children insisted on something the others didn’t like that the other children simply found different play mates.
Peterson said that the “friend” problem that trans people have was the same phenomenon. Trans people complain nobody wants to interact with them. The same, I think is true of liberals.
Nobody wants to interact with someone who is loud and insists that theirs is the only opinion that matters. I avoid most liberals because they are loud and have only one tune they play over and over.
All that screeching and shouting gives me a headache.
Even people here on Free Republic who type in ALL CAPS raise my stress level.
Maybe if things don’t happen in these legislative bodies the country would be better as a whole. They pass laws when no laws are necessary. The representative realize if they don’t, they’ll be out of a job. But these congressmen need to realize that these positions were never intended to be careers.
What these Tennessee House members did was wrong — but it was no insurrection. Nor was it worthy of expulsion, as opposed to censure or other sanctions.

However maybe these thugs had a history already of censor and sanctions ...
Maybe this was the last straw ...
How much have the other legislative members had to put up with in the past ???
I doubt this was the first incident with these 2 ...
You're right; it isn't. I have read where they have a long record of such incidents.
Is there a video anywhere of the jackassery for which the now-oppressed were expelled?
The speed with which Wtie House sprang to aid the perps indicates that this was a pre-paid insurrection.
Leftists loathe themselves and each other. They're incapable of seeing past themselves.
Less likely if we (Trump included) stick to the facts and avoid name calling.
“I doubt this was the first incident with these 2 ...”
I haven’t heard of any prior incidents. It seems that if there were prior incidents or disciplinary measures, the TN GOP would have mentioned that.
‘I was Screaming Before You Interrupted Me’
I love that line.
I haven’t been keeping up with the Nashville business. Yes those guys were kicked out for bad behavior. What were they objecting to or advocating?
Same here !
Nothing will change until the people who are illegally disrupting these events get some good old fashioned hickory shampoos.

National Urban-Rural Divide.. over gun control..
Both of the expelled reps took office in January of this year so this was likely their first time making a spectacle of themselves. Gloria Johnson is a retired school teacher and probably didn’t figure on her little show going sideways as hard and fast as it did. Hopefully none of them will get their committee seats back, or getting any new ones. Committee seats is where the lobbyists focus their donations so it there are no seats, the campaign funds dry up. Did you know Pearson was elected to replace a Rep that was reelected after she died?
John Adams was the defense attorney for the British soldiers when they came to trial later in 1770.
“National Urban-Rural Divide.. over gun control..”
Excellent article. I’ve bookmarked the site.
For others here’s the link:

The article says “...have created more unfortunate opportunities for clashes and rebellion...”
The opportunities aren’t always unfortunate.
The article finishes with “Decentralizing power is a better way forward than trying to jam one vision down the throats of the unwilling “.
