Since we're clearly way off-book now and have thrown all rules out the window and are just doing anything we want now, can't the democrats of Tennessee put out legislation saying the exact opposite?

the US has been a fascist police state since 2001. It’s always been a capitalist oligarchy.

Pardon me but would you mind clarifying how the provided image bans democrats from committees? It doesn’t explicitly mention it anywhere

Sadly no since they have no majority in either chamber. Dems could maybe do this in solidly blue states but i think they wont since they value bipartisanship more than republicans

Well hopefully the people of Tennessee vote their way out of this If they re-elect the same psychopaths, well 🤷‍♀️ (I say as if they aren't currently doing everything in their power to prevent people from being able to vote) Anyways, on an unrelated note, guillotine is a very cool word :)
