In reply to the discussion: TN saggy pants law signed by Gov. Haslam [View all]Tsiyu
(18,186 posts)71. Oh, he is as bad
Haslam comes from a criminal family of entitled scum who fleece the little people.
Runs on the "smaller gubbmint" promise, then passes this sort of tripe, which should be the domain of the local school boards.
He and his little sycophant goons in our legislature will not be happy until they completely drain this state of any happiness or prosperity for any but the 1%.
They get elected because of outside money, because they don't properly fund schools that teach the importance of voting, and because they have disenfranchised so many people, those people can't vote.
With the new voter ID laws the legislators passed ( because those ugly, greedy, racist, pigs KNOW they should be tossed out on their greasy asses by decent people so they have to do something to stop people from voting) they are practically guaranteed lifetime terms in Nash Vegas.
Bill Harmon is a decent guy, as far as TN legislators go. Haven't seen which way he voted, but he's better than most. I really feel sorry for the Dems in our legislature now.
BTW, when I get really down, I go here, to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon. Juanita really gets Southern/Texas politics and sticks it right back to 'em. It gives me a laugh so I can carry on:

Then look the other way. This world is full of things that people don't like.

Um no they don't. They tell corporations what they are allowed to sell as food.

But it's easy not to look as more and more poor Tennessee boys are shoved out of school...

It would be against the law for a teacher to ask a student to show their ass

I see your point, but Tennessee has no problem dragging poor white boys through the system, either.

Yes! I am so glad at least one state is focusing on what's REALLY important!

I can't say 'saggy pants' is a fad since people have been doing it for years now.

why not law imposing a fine for excessive cleavage or other displays of flesh?

Because the law's targetting a specific group of people, nothing more. (nt)
