So this is where we are ...

'Tennessee Three' 

I guess the Tennessee republican party can start expelling any politician that they want to keep quiet

What a day in Tennessee where the Republicans vote to expel House Democrats for gun-reform protest.

   

Sarah Huckabee Sanders 

It is all socialism and wasted money until THEIR state is need of federal assistance!  

Today, I'm asking the federal government to cover 100 percent of all our recovery expenses during the first 30 days after the storm." The problem is that Sanders has repeatedly railed against federal involvement in state and local issues. During her campaign, for example, Sanders proclaimed that Arkansas residents have the "right to be free of socialism and tyranny." Then, in January, she tweeted that "as long as I am your governor, the meddling hand of big government creeping down from Washington DC will be stopped cold at the Mississippi River."’ 

Clarence Thomas 

Clarence Thomas reportedly received years of gifts from GOP donor, stirring new ethics scandal

"A Thursday report that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas accepted luxury travel and hospitality perks from a billionaire Republican donor was met with both renewed criticism of how the justices self-police and renewed calls for oversight and the impeachment of the embattled conservative. 

The controversy was touched off by a ProPublica story describing how Thomas and his wife, Ginni, a conservative activist, were treated to high-end vacations and private jet travel subsidized by Dallas-based businessman Harlan Crow, who has a record of contributing millions to Republican candidates and causes. 

Thomas did not report the gifts on his annual financial disclosure filings, according to ProPublica -- an omission that ethics experts say violates a code of conduct for federal officials.

Kids demand action 

Thousands participate in national school walkout after Nashville shooting, urge gun control 

"Thousands of students walked out of classes across the country Wednesday to demand lawmakers take action on gun safety following the mass shooting at an elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, last week. 

Advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety, which coordinated the walkouts through Students Demand Action, said there were more than 300 demonstrations across 41 states and D.C. to kick off a "week of action" by advocates and gun violence survivors."

I was suppose to go to the movies with my neighbor tonight. We only discussed the details from her car window while I was taking out the trash. She called and said she found out that day she has COVID. So I am so glad we were not closer. This has gone away YET.

Tennessee has really taken First Place in the Stupid Contest.....
How can they erase people ELECTED to SERVE?????? I hope these two men carry this all the way to the Supreme Court.
Ah...maybe not- Clarence has been bought and paid for by Republicans.
