All removed from Tennessee House subcommittee after paper sign debacle
The argument over 8x11 paper signs in the legislature boiled over Tuesday as three were escorted out of a House subcommittee by the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
You're viewing a single thread.
Republicans championing free speech once again by banning pieces of paper.
but allowing hand guns....
On Monday, the Tennessee House voted on allowing the pieces of paper along partisan lines. Democrats argued they were harmless, and questioned if guns could be brought into Cordell Hull, why couldn't the signage.
Of course. You never know when a bad guy with a piece of paper might threaten everyone.
All you need for a bad-guy with a piece of paper, is a good guy with a piece of paper.
Wait, that's wrong....
All you need for a bad-guy with a piece of paper, is a good guy with a gun.
~~You need a hero with a piece of paper to save everyone. ~~
Whoops. @ negativenull beat me to it and the app I’m on doesn’t appear to have strikethrough. Apologies.
Strikethrough is just surrounding your text with ~~ on either side, touching non-whitespace characters.
~~Like this.~~ looks Like this.
Amended. Thanks.
You almost got it, gotta remove the space between that last period and the following tilde. Whitespace kills markdown in most cases.
Nah. You just need a guy with scissors when there's a bad guy with paper. Rocks OTOH, ban that shit.
Simple. Stuff the paper inside the guns.
That's called Wadding!
What would happen if they had the paper but also had guns. Or black people with guns? Or socialists with guns?
How would their opinions change?
They would have been shot on sight by the brave troopers (who actually showed up and took action this time, which is a nice change) who escorted everyone out the door.
The truth is way more dangerous to Republicans.
Well that makes sense most Republicans there probably can't read and the signs make them uncomfortable because they can't shout over the signs.
And it’s there forever. No matter what they say or do… that paper is still there with the same message
Paper is scary. Plus, there’s a really good chance they don’t know what the “ > “ symbol means, so they are freaking out that it might be “woke”
