Some Tennessee lawmakers are worried that women would abuse the tax-free status of feminine hygiene products.
Republican lawmakers in Tennessee are raising objections to a proposal that would add feminine hygiene products to the list of items that can be purchased during the state's annual sales-tax holiday, the Associated Press reported.
According to the AP, the GOP lawmakers worried that women would abuse the law and purchase too many feminine hygiene products during the pause on state sales tax on some items — including computers and clothing. The pause lasts only one weekend, starting on the last Friday of July, the AP reported.Oh WBE-EEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, one of your alums is at it again."I would think since it's a sales tax holiday, there's really no limit on the number of items anybody can purchase," Republican state Sen. Joey Hensley said during a debate on the proposal on Tuesday, according to the AP. "I don't know how you would limit the number of items someone could purchase."

There's times when folks should be able to ask themselves if there might be more to it...

I have 3 degrees.
I've lived in several countries.
I've lived in several states.
I raised a daughter now serving in the USAF.
I served in the USAF as an ATC.
I fight for people.
I was almost murdered twice fighting for people.
I do Planetary analysis as a NASA volunteer.
I write Horror/Sci-FI for Youtube and reddit subs and channels.
I publish a comic based on Egyptian Mythology.
I do Photography and deal with all sorts of people and situations.
I VOLUNTARILY go in and explore abandoned buildings and areas.
I camp and hike alone.
I bring all this up to show that, I'm fairly immune to propaganda from any side, including Sanders.
Republicans lie, and they lie a lot.
Democrats lie too.
I don't expect perfection, I expect you to actually give a damn and stop pearl clutching about what the GOP thinks of you.
You can build allies and coalitions, but every now and then you need to clean the house.
I want to CRUSH the current GOP. CRUSH THEM!
I want them to bend the knee and then we can get back to a functional government.
How do you negotiate with a party that senses how weak you are, and the slightest critique makes you back down?
Don't have the votes for Gun control. Carry your ass in the street and preach till your throat hurts. NEVER.STOP! Support people who WILL fight.
Trump is just a symptom of the sickness in America. I've seen America in better days, but this ain't even the worst. It's just out in the open now.
That's how I see it. I won't be bullied into vote blue no matter who.
They can kiss off with that.
Some Blue is pretty damn awful.
Klobuchar is literally running on "We can't do that."
Pete is running on... Actually I don't know what pete is running on. He says words, but they mean nothing.
Biden is running on Obama.
Bloomberg is running because he can.
Steyer is running because I think he actually cares, but has little name recognition.
Gabbards because ...because.
Warren is running because something women win or something...
To some of these people coming in Third means you won. Coming in second means you won.
It's like If there are three of us being chased by a rabid dog, I'm pretty sure first is better than third or second.
I mean Bernie won Iowa and New Hampshire.
Media and the DNC love to cheat so there's no hope for them and some of their supporters on here.
Anyone who thinks they're 'fairly immune' to propaganda is more likely to've fallen victim to it. No one is immune. Plenty of people with degrees believe in QAnon. Plenty of people who've got a long list of accomplishments spout propagandized rubbish because they think they're smarter than that.

I'm pretty fuckin dumb at times actually. Which is why I consider myself immune to a lot of things.
Because the only thing that really makes sense to me is studying Space.
Space is so fuckin weird and mindblowing it's hard to fill my head with non-sense.
Know why? Because Space makes no damn sense.
NONE!
I think about Space more than politics. I only think about Politics because I don't want people to die and to get an education, and learn about Space.
You know who kinda understands Space? Kids.
Because you tell a child that a Black Hole is kinda like a toilet with black ink and sprinkles, They get it.
Adults will give you that dumb look. Like how is a toilet related at all to a black hole?
Because adults fill their heads with nonsense.
If you look at politics like a child (in a good way), then it kinda makes sense.
Oh! Not wanting people to die is a good thing.

I bet a hell of a lot of Germand in the 30s and 40s thought they were immune to propaganda/could tell when they were being lied to.

Which is wonderful, you're still human like the rest of us. You're not perfect. Ben Carson's a neurosurgeon who's sold best selling books, had a movie about his life with Cuba Gooding Jr. and the director of Pediatric Neurosurgery for John Hopkins - he also believes the Egyptian pyramids were made to to be grain silos. Nobody is immune to propaganda. In your last response you were repeating GOP propaganda of how they view Democrats. You're not as above us as you think you are. You have blinds spots of all sorts of American politics from what I've picked up in our conversations. Which is fine, we all have that.
Why are you buying into the GOP's propaganda about Democrats when you know this? You most assumably have absurdly high expectations for Democrats over Republicans and your own politicians. I do give a damn, that's why I'm talking to you. What you're missing is that we can't ignore the elephant shaped party in the room and conservatives in the Democratic party. I may not care, personally, about what the GOP says but millions of people do and they have the propaganda networks to make that stick with the American public. You're underestimating how powerful they are, were they as easy to defeat as you're suggesting why didn't the Justice Democrats clean up in every district in '18? Why hasn't the left dismantled their operations?Republicans lie, and they lie a lot.
Democrats lie too.
I don't expect perfection, I expect you to actually give a damn and stop pearl clutching about what the GOP thinks of you.
Leftists tried this, they failed miserably. You need to examine why your own politicians failed you.You can build allies and coalitions, but every now and then you need to clean the house.
So does everybody else. But wanting something isn't the same as being able to accomplish it. Sander sure hasn't been able to give you this while he's been in office, and the left's movement have crumbled to dust more then the Democrats from their attacks on our liberties.I want to CRUSH the current GOP. CRUSH THEM!
I want them to bend the knee and then we can get back to a functional government.
Please, stop hollering and start strategising. The GOP are. They may look stupid but they know what to do to win elections.
We try, that's part of fighting. Fighting in politics isn't reduced to simply attacking people by bludgeoning them into submission, that has the opposite affect the it's your go-to tactic. Your own politicians ave failed to make your tactics work and they've gotten significant opportunities to do so. Why have they failed?How do you negotiate with a party that senses how weak you are, and the slightest critique makes you back down?
Don't have the votes for Gun control. Carry your ass in the street and preach till your throat hurts. NEVER.STOP! Support people who WILL fight.
It's been in the open since Nixon, you're finally noticed it. You're not going to stop them by relying more on platitudes over strategies.Trump is just a symptom of the sickness in America. I've seen America in better days, but this ain't even the worst. It's just out in the open now.
This entire post is completely ignoring the introspection I asked of you to do of yourself and the movement - which you refuse to hold to the same standards as the Democrats. You're not going to learn anything by sticking your head in the sand of your own movement's flaws or grow as a person so you're not caught off guard in the general by Trump and the GOP if Sanders is the nominee. This is why it's vital to have proper expectations, rather than demanding the world to bend to your will when you don't have the power to do it.
Other candidates make sure they make those voting blocs are solid, Sanders doesn't. He expects them to show up without doing the work to gain their trust.
Edit: Sanders needs to be careful with this, or this will happen to him in the general.

Don't kid yourself. There are people out there smarter than you who've fallen hook, line and sinker for bullshit from Trump and the GOP. Even worse, they might not even know they've been reeled in, despite having convinced themselves that they're above such lowbrow shenanigans. I don't pretend to think I'm immune, I just realize what I'm dealing with and do all I can to separate truth from lies.
