I learned a bit about how Tennessee legislature works after the expulsion last year. It’s frighteningly undemocratic, and it’s scary to think that it’s gotten even more undemocratic since then. Such a shame, I enjoyed my visit to Nashville a lot.
Same here on all accounts. We have been to Nashville a few times for concerts and we really don’t like the fact that now we can’t go back. We don’t want to support the state. We still have cups we took home from the peg leg porker.
Losers love losing. Deniers love denying. Traitors love treason. The GOP loves Trump’s shit-crusted cock, but denies being his bottom.
banjo playin and cousin fuckin intensifies
Underage cousins*
*FTFY. Don’t forget Republicans in a bunch of states have been fighting minimum marriage age laws on top of everything else.
Tennessee: We’re not all bigots, but you shouldn’t feel safe.
Tennesseean here, this is absolutely the case. I wish there was more I could do to welcome marginalized people, but the best advice I have is to get out of here as soon as possible because things are going to get worse before they get better.
I came to say the same thing.
But I’ll say this- the nazis in Nashville the other week were only able to escape unscathed because we didn’t know they were there.
1st amendment lawsuit, here we come!
That’s great, but who’s paying for that?
I’d bet actual money that the ACLU is already looking for a case to sponsor.
I don’t know how many Supreme Court Justices the ACLU can afford.
Oh he went there
I’ll book a cruise for my very close friend Clarence
If we all kick in $25 we might be able to buy Justice Boofer some coke and a beer…
Please use that betting money to sponsor the ACLU so they can sponsor a case.
It’s a heritage of hate.
Wow Tennessee, what a shit hole it’s turning into.
Tennessee GOP quietly overturns marriage equality with immediate effect
I went to grade school in Mississippi, (Air Force brat, 1970’s) and here are some fun facts:
- The day started with the class reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and then singing “Dixie.”
- Every classroom had a paddle hanging near the blackboard. The principle and many of the teachers also had a paddle handing off of their belt.
- The "That’s a Paddlin’ " bit on the Simpsons was a 100% accurate representation of my first day in school
- The Mississippi schools were about 6 months ahead of the Utah schools I came from and they made me do a lot of the homework assigned before I got there.
My god, how far behind must the Utah schools have been for Mississippi schools to be ahead!
One is unconstitutional to ban, while the other is treason.
I was honestly taken aback that the confederate flag is allowed to be displayed in public schools.
Those 4 years that they were treasonous to get rid of state rights to ban slavery is very important to their state history.
Let’s proudly expose our slavery heritage while banning a symbol of individual freedom and diversity.
Done in one.
…while claiming to support “freedom”.
Nashville has had a pride festival for the past thirty five years. They were a member of the confederacy for almost exactly five years.
BuT iTs our hiSTorY!!!
It’s history they want to repeat, not the present they want to accept
For when even “If you get yours then we get ours!” is too far left for your snowflake traitor ass.
Name names
That’s what we get for giving the Confederates Military burials instead of an unmarked mass graves for their murderous treachery in the name of slavery.
Mercy was a mistake.
Unironically, the leaders of the Confederacy should have been executed for treason.
“Johnson embarked on a policy designed to restore the former Confederate states to civil government with maximum speed and a minimum disturbance of Southern institutions beyond the abolition of slavery itself,” writes historian Michael Les Benedict. “His policy placed former rebels in political control of nearly every Southern state and left Southern blacks to the mercies of the men who had fought so desperately to keep them in bondage.”
The quiet laws are being written out loud now.
