She did apologize. Sorry you don’t apparently read something other than your own approved Press like WaPo or NyT.

Link?

I have no problem with them being punished for violating the House rules of their chamber.
Would seem that the punishment was a little severe, but at the very least would be equal, since all 3 did the same thing...shut down the business of the House.
She thinks it was because of her skin color that perhaps she wasn't ousted.

I haven’t seen the vote counts for expelling or keeping the “Tennessee Three”, but did see that the white woman missed expulsion by one vote. Maybe ask the people who voted No for her and Yes for the others for an explanation? I’m assuming the votes are public record.

The votes were:

Justin Jones (Nashville) - 72-25
Justin Pearson (Memphis) - 69-26
Gloria Johnson (Knoxville) - 65-30

Guessing 70% of the vote was the threshold for expulsion here.

It isn’t a choice for them.

Which side of the equation?

Shooting today with at least five dead at a bank in downtown Louisville by a 25 year old with mental health problems. Good thing he could get a gun! The argument for less gun regulation in this country is fucking insane.

Maybe you could post a comprehensive list of all the mass shootings that have occurred in the past 20-30 years to show that this is an issue that needs to be addressed in Washington. Personally, I don’t think things will change until it is a major event that many 500+ lose their lives from. Even then, the NRA pull will probably be too much congress to act.

Maybe Pop could set up a meeting with the NRA to address this issue? Ranting about it to the media has been done before and is pointless.

Just found out that one of them killed was a Xavier alum ‘05 Josh Barrick. Can we stop this shit now?

A professional shooting up a room full of executives is a new one. Not loving how often we're having new categories of mass shooters these days.

Not just the guns that are the problem, but it’s a big problem. Gun regulation is certainly one and needs to be done immediately. And no not just semi automatic or the typical bs we hear every time.

The pussification of America and people not accepting and dealing with bad things in their lives properly is another problem—-this guy apparently just lost his job and decided to deal with it by killing former co workers

Third, mental health needs to be where America spends their money. This shit needs to stop. I mean seriously wtf
