They may not even be out of the legislature for long, as the cities they represent can appoint whoever they choose to fill those seats. Pearson and Jones should both be eligible for that. I can’t think of a better way to tell these racist fucks to eat shit than to put Pearson and Jones back in the seats they earned. 

When they voted to expel Rep. Jones I thought how stupid would it be that they expel Pearson but keep Johnson. Would they really do the most racist thing they could possibly do? Of course they would.  

For the shitheads in the grays that don’t know what an insurrection is, it’s not people peacefully protesting, it’s Republican savages building gallows, maiming police officers and shitting on the floor.

Absolutely, this is this stolen racist, shithole country. We have actual Insurrectionists still maintaining their seats in Congress, yet these two gentlemen expelled for exercising their constitutional rights. They are the ones truly speaking for the people and trying to save lives. The white people trying to save…

The State Department needs to issue a travel advisory advising against going to Tennessee. No one needs to spend money, time or endanger their safety in an apartheid state. Anyone living there should seriously consider leaving.

..their constituents have no representation in Tennessee’s General Assembly.

All they have achieved is to turn this two impressive young men into national superstars who will be back in office in no time. If the Tennessee GOP thought they were being trolled by two Gen Z Reps, wait until they find out what it’s like to be trolled by two unemployed gen Z.

It’s amazing seeing how quickly what semblance of democracy the US has, dying before our eyes at increasing speed.

The fact that the 2 representatives protested was just an excuse. In Wisconsin, a newly elected Democrat-leaning judge is possibly going to be impeached for the crime of not being a Republican.

Is that a trick question?

Ah, if only Robert Altman were still alive. The movie version of this would be hysterical. Gil Scott Heron could do the soundtrack. 

“was built on a protest”

These Republicans need to have their character assassinated, full stop, nonstop, pumped full of character-assassinating media story “bullets” until the reputation of each and every one of them drops dead.

“Pediatricans do not take calling CPS lightly. And a CPS visit doesn’t warrant a child’s removal from their home unless the child truly is in danger. I’ve been in practice for over 10 years, and I can count the number of times on one hand in which I’ve called CPS.”

Then why isn't the baby in the hospital now? If the child is in legal custody of someone other than her parents because they wouldn't admit her to the hospital, then why hasn't that happened yet?

“[I]magine if today’s news was not about Justice Thomas and Harlan Crow but about, say, Justice Sotomayor and a major Democratic donor.”

And nothing will be done about it.

Thomas’s disdain for laws that regulate his own behavior is somehow still shocking. Now let’s wait for a wave of whataboutism from Republican reps and silence from the SCOTUS justices in 3, 2, 1....

Christ, this was needlessly snarky and exhausting. People do not read celebrity memoirs for exquisitely crafted metaphors or a deft turn of phrase. 

Sidenote: Great that Mandel was caught flat-footed, but before we get too rah-rah over Briahna Joy Gray, there are suggestions she might be on the Tucker Carlson train. I’ve read a few of her articles that lean... askew. Nothing Candace Owens-y but... you know.
