Tennessee Republicans
Okay, so Tennessee Republicans in the state house are trying to pass a bill that bans public schools and universities from allowing trans students to use restrooms that align with their gender identity.
Meanwhile, the co-sponsor of this bill has this going on.
A Tennessee lawmaker is effectively being quarantined from lawmakers, lobbyists and interns after the state’s attorney general determined that he could pose a risk to “unsuspecting women” at the state Capitol complex.
House Speaker Beth Harwell announced Thursday that she is moving Rep. Jeremy Durham’s office to the ground floor of a building across the street and that his access to committee rooms and the House chamber will be limited to when meetings are taking place. The move comes amid a state attorney general’s investigation into the Franklin Republican’s “pattern of conduct” toward women.
Right, this dude is co-sponsor of the bill because he has all that free time now that he’s in legislator jail for being a risk to women.
Mind you, the House Speaker who exiled him is also a Republican.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Aw, poor baby! He’s lucky he is on street level. When we had the first female Speaker of the House, if you even tried to sass her in any way, you could end up with your office in the sub-sub-sub basement of a building. Wow! She was good at her job!
1Durham is a complete jerk and should be impeached and tossed in jail for his garbage; he has harrassed over 34 women who have proof.
Beth Harwell is as EvangeliBaggery as the rest of the Repiggery in the General Assembly – she is a laughingstock right now for announcing her ‘health care plan’ which is utter BS without the Medicaid expansion.
Tennessee has as big a mess with its lege and gerrymandering as Texas~
Wait for it though – our idiotic US Congressmonster Marsha Blackburn is in charge of the committee who is now subpoenaing every person she can find who ever worked on fetal tissue – LilPaulie Ryan has not stopped her witch-hunt of Planned Parenthood and Marsha thinks she is getting a VP nod – rofl.
2The pervangelists are really reaching with all their ‘permission to pee’ legislation. Then, there’s this dork, Jeremy who thinks he has some birthright to play all hands on deck with the female folks. With all these subliminal hints that the pervs want to play military, we should air drop them to ISIL, until ISIL begs us to relent.
Oh, if anyone has a leftover box of dildos that were never shipped to the Bundy Welfare Moochers or intercepted by the Loathsome Ted Crooze, Mike Lee (Repulsive-UT) could use a box. That creep is a one man Senate roadblock to sending funds to help Flint, MI.

Folk like Lee and his little friend Durham, when they are dunk babtised as adults, could we as a group determine how firmly and how long to hold ’em under?
4Let’s face facts; with as many state governments being looney republicant as there are, whoever wins the whitehouse in Nov. wins nothing.
We need to crack that repug dominant strain down, and flush much of it down the toilet, or the US Congress will remain in snacilbupeR hands for decades.
5Why is this guy not in jail, or at least under indictment? With all those women primed and ready to testify, why not just get it over with? That’s how you protect women from sexual predators, not by just moving his office. God,save us from the RKlan.
6Micr, out of respect to their religiosity, the least we can do is apply the Salem standards. Or, we could use a secular rule of 5 minutes for each IQ point. (20 minutes, tops, in most cases)

8That’s what I’mtalkin”bout.
Thank you PKM for the best laugh I have had all day after many frustrating things at work. YEA!
9Republicans accuse others of doing what they do themselves—they do it, so they think everyone must be. They lie, so they claim Democrats lie. They practice voter fraud, so they claim Democrats do voter fraud.
This guy thinks everyone with a Y chromosome has only one reason to be in a women’s bathroom, because that’s his reason. (Interesting question: does he cross-dress to get access to women so he can harass them?)
10This just showed up on Face Book and a couple of other sites:
CBS Investigation Reveals Kim Davis’ Lawyers Behind Anti-LGBT “Bathroom Bills” In 20 States
11OK So how can normal well-adjusted Humericans stop this Matthew Staver fellow, who is an attorney after being a Seventh Day Adventist and a Babtist and a whole bunch of other -tists, none of which are worth a damn, keeping in mind that he has a Constitutionally guaranteed right to spew this garbage and practice law in some form or another all through the rebellion losing states.
He is very close to Canadian/Cuban Raphael on the creepiness scale according to my little bride. She also tole me Staver was in cahoots with Liberty University and that nest of charlatans and criminals.

(Where do these morons think these folks go now?)
When EvangeliBagger-in-Chief Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey says NO, that tells you how awful this bill would be for everyone.
13Bumblebee, it’s a direct line. Kim’s attorney -> Liberty Counsel -> Liberty University with all the usual suspects involved. The Southern Poverty Law Center listed Liberty Counsel as a hate group for good reason. Roe v Wade, Lawrence v Texas, etc., the haters want all laws repealed with the end game being totality of the 1964 Civil Rights Law. Their goal is ‘Sharia Law’ KKKristian style. State by state or through SCROTUS, they seriously intend to dismantle all civil rights; black, gay, women, poor, perceived ‘others’ and whoever doesn’t fit their minnow minded mold.
That’s why although I prefer Bernie, HRC will get my vote if she is the Democratic candidate. That 14th Amendment I revere is at stake here, if the snacilbupeR succeed in stacking SCROTUS.
14Well said, PKM. I just decided to donate to The Southern Poverty Law Center.
15maryelle, thank you for your kind words; the SPLC certainly appreciates and makes great use of donations. The SPLC runs a blog that is very informative as to who is playing what, why and where with historical and immediate perspective. Careful ‘tho as the blog today has a picture of Donnie Drumpf which can be a bit startling so early in the morning. However, the article accompanying the picture is a good read.

Micr, in many ways the SPLC answers your question: “OK So how can normal well-adjusted Humericans stop this Matthew Staver fellow…?” Knowing who they are and how they are interconnected can be a forewarning, when these people are coming close to our neighborhoods. Forewarned and all that ….
16@pkm and possibly others
I agree that donating to SPLC is a good use of your hard earned folding money. I have done so in the past and likely will do so again when I no longer donate to SMU and several other Texas state universities.
17I just have one question about the sub-basement guy: how’d he get elected in the first place? He’s pretty cute and so is his wife. It’d be interesting to find out if any of the women mad at him kind of flirted with him earlier. Just remember, those states run by church elders are the ones you want to keep your gripes from because they may hear it differently than you did
18I want to think that our governor’s veto of the Bible bill is an indication that he will also veto these other idiotic ones to come. I am glad he said the Bible bill was not Constitutional. I am fine with the comment of the sacredness of the Bible. He is a politician.
Now that Durham character needs an immediate hearing and perhaps impeachment. I would like to see what the behavior is that warranted this limiting of his access to oh, decent human beings.
