A single Republican, Sen. Todd Gardenhire, R-Chattanooga, joined Democrats in voting against the measure, calling it a “dangerous precedent” to charge local officials for casting a vote.
Todd is going to get death threats. I’m calling it now.
The GOP supermajority in the General Assembly this week gave swift passage to the immigration enforcement law despite warnings from staff attorneys that the bill is “constitutionally suspect” in its unprecedented effort to curtail elected officials’ voting decisions.
The constitution? Are we still pretending that old thing matters anymore? lol good joke.
That’s fucked. That whole thing is fucked. Tennessee should be on fire over this shit.
Feel free to go set it on fire. Can’t do it from your armchair.
You can sure tell other people want to do from your armchair though.
Aye Climate Change is coming for all of us. It’ll burn on its own course in due time.
Wdym I can’t find any info about this

Sounds like a dem lie. Egg prices’ll go down any day now
Pretty sure the 5 million is probably better spent on all sorts of things Tennesseans actually need.
Inbred fuckwits.
Do better Tennessee voters.
My sister in law is a few months out from leaving that state.
Crippling poverty and isolation without education or services. She’d done aid work in africa and in afghanistan for years during the war. She says Tennessee is more hopeless.
It’s gerrymandered to all hell. A federal court literally ruled it’s gerrymandered along political, rather than racial lines, which makes it legal somehow.
TN-4, which includes the college town of Murfreesboro, used to lean blue, but they lumped it together with a bunch of rural areas going all the way out to East Tennessee and now it’s one of the safest red seats in the country, held by a dirtbag domestic abuser.
Gov. Haslem may have been a corporate tool but at least he pushed back on some of the culture war bullshit. Ever since he retired, the far-right kicked into overdrive. They’re all trying to outdo each other and the state government has no understanding of how the law even works. If an issue is mentioned on Fox News, a new law will be proposed about it within the week.
Be sure to keep that victim complex while democracy crumbles around you. Here are a few, off the top of my head things that don’t have anything to do with gerrymandering: running for local offices, volunteering for candidates, peaceful protests, donating, community organization, writing and calling local/state/national reps, shuttle services to polling locations.
There comes a point when gerrymandering becomes mathematically impossible. Like I said…“do better Tennessee voters.”
Pretty much all of those things have to do with gerrymandering, lmao.
I’m used to y’all punching down at regular people to defend the Democratic party from any and all criticism, but I didn’t realize you’d also punch down to deflect blame from the Republican party too. I thought it was just a matter of party loyalty, but I guess it’s more pathological than that.
Seriously, mentioning gerrymandering is a “victim complex?” At that point, why even care about politics at all? Everyone should stop worrying about how rigged things are and just pull themselves up by their own bootstraps! Who even cares how much democracy crumbles around me, no matter how undemocratic it gets, I’ll just, what did you suggest? Call my gerrymandered wife-beater representative and ask nicely?
But then I guess you wouldn’t get to condescend and look down on people. I suppose that’s the real purpose of politics, huh?
Hey, I have an idea. Maybe, since you’re so much better than everyone, you should go out to backwoods East Tennessee, drive up secluded driveways, walk past the Confederate flags in the yards, knock on their doors, and explain to them why they should vote Democrat. Sound good?
This what they WANT.
If we could do that, no one know Marsha blackburns name
