@jbf1755@mastodon.social so does the attack on sexuality, gender, LGBTQ and women and girls.Boy, those GOP must live in so much fear it’s turning entire legislatures into a barrel of bullies.

@jbf1755@mastodon.social I read that "expulsion was also on the table." It occurs to me that they deliberately *avoided* that option because they figured it would be Justin Jones all over again, with her being immediately reappointed.

@jbf1755@mastodon.social Weaponized decorum. "You can't say that what I am doing is bad, because that would be rude, and nobody is allowed to be rude in this forum. And of course, I get to decide what is rude and what is not".

@jbf1755@mastodon.social Heinous stuff, of course. I find this stuff so painful from a personal policy perspective. I think straight-ticket voting is harmful and/or stupid - but I don’t really see any choice any more. I can’t possibly vote for anyone that identifies as Republican.

@jbf1755@mastodon.social I wish we had a news media that would call it out for what it is. It seems it is always "Wow, look what the Republican legislators did. Isn't that something? We will be back after the break with a story about the latest must have barbeque gadget...." so frustrating. We are in real peril.

@jbf1755@mastodon.social But what if it becomes more ordinary? That’s what I fear. Everything that we have found shocking has become a regular part of the #GOP strategy. First Tennessee, now Montana, and there is no way this won’t happen again.

@jbf1755@mastodon.social Montana Republicans: Yes, but let’s waste the limited time afforded us to do the people of Montana’s business by passing a law picking on a small group of kids to deprive them of their rights, and silence one of their most effective advocates on trumped up charges! “Members are under a tight deadline in the coming days. Montana's Constitution says it must adjourn in a matter of days, and they've yet to finish piecing together a budget.” #zooeyzephyr #montana #trans

@jbf1755@mastodon.social Sounds like Rep. Zephyr is not "politically correct" enough for the Montana Republicans, and being such snowflakes, they need to silence her.

@jbf1755@mastodon.social 🔸Seems to be on brand for GOP. Was reminded that state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia filed a bill (SB1248) that would eradicate the Democratic Party in #Florida. "If the bill were to become law, it would take effect July 1." https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2023/03/01/republicans-in-florida-are-trying-to-get-rid-of-the-democratic-party/?sh=1aa1962c2ac5

So they're trying what they did (and failed) in Tennessee, and doing it in Montana now? I have a feeling this will go just as well for them. Kinda want them to keep trying, they're making celebrities out of previously unknown state lawmakers.

@jbf1755@mastodon.social Maybe the Montana legislators need to read up on Tennessee politics.

@jbf1755@mastodon.social Or as they like to say in Montana, no taxation without representation - so one might expect that the people in Zephyr's district might refrain from paying state taxes.

@jbf1755@mastodon.social I heard on MSNBC, I believe that is where I heard it, that she can access the chambers electronically and can vote that way, but she is not allowed to enter the chamber. what a bunch of cowards! It is ridiculous. Her crime "decorum"- just like the Tennessee 3. If they cared about decorum they would be furious about Jan. 6, but they arent'

@jbf1755@mastodon.social Non-rhetorical question, from someone who doesn't understand: how is that even legal? If voters have put members there, how can other members remove them?

@jbf1755@mastodon.social they saw that expulsion did not work in Tennessee so used a different ploy to suppress opposition. Her district should shut them down. This calls for the kind of civil unrest we had in '60s and '70s. It's the same shit. Nixon declared all oponents of the VN War to be "dirty hippies" (now it's "antifa"). I was watching a woman in a peasant dress putting flowers in rifle barrels at a peaceful march on the Pentagon when a tear gas grenade popped behind me. Make them do that.
