1. Now I can sorta guess

why they are going after Casada. That boy is crookeder than a dog's hind leg. Why the others, though, is anyone's guess.

2. Maybe tied in?

Dunno.

3. Anything is possible down there.

Things are a mess these days, per my daughter (she lives there and I get an earful frequently). More of a mess than usual, I mean.

4. It sure is!

Imagine a hellhole where people are so fucking stupid that they overwhelmingly voted for Blackburn.

It is truly like living in hell.

6. You've got that right!

It is like living in a nightmare.

8. YES!

What people in non-redneck areas fail to grasp is that 1/6 was a massive "normal" behavioral exhibition for those morons.

If they don't like someone or something, they often terrorize & vandalize.

9. I know what you mean.

So very true.

10. I've been on the receiving end for no reason.

[BlueDawn]

11. I am so sorry to hear this.

What happened, if you don't mind sharing? I apologize if you already have shared this in a post and I missed it.

I am feeling angry right now just imagining what you must have gone through. Tennessee is full of right-wing imbeciles!

12. OMG!

5. It looks like the raids took place 1/8/21

7. Interesting (not that they won't scream "I'm being persecuted by that evil, evil...

...Joe Biden and Kamala Harris! Where's the unity?" )
