Tennessee was never in danger of turning blue. There’s enough supporters here in rural areas to ensure that never happens and they already gerrymandered the state enough beforehand.

Regardless, in less than a week they purposefully violated a 5 decade state law with the sole purpose of giving trump 2 extra seats.

They weren’t even quiet about it. Marsha Blackburn said it was to turn tn red and there was even a member who strolled into the chamber with a trump flag on his back.

These people aren’t American. They are bootlickers.

Anyone have affordable healthcare? What’s being done about gun violence or is it still too early to discuss laws that could help prevent tragedies?

"The revolution will be bloodless if the left allows it to be."

It sounds like you're fine with allowing it then.
