McCarthy moves to censure Schiff
« on: October 16, 2019, 04:17:12 PM »
https://www.republicanleader.gov/the-censure-resolution-of-chairman-adam-schiff/

Republican House leader has initiated a process to censure House Intelligence Committee Chair Schiff on the grounds that Schiff has used his official position to mislead the American public and to enter false information in the public record.

Should be interesting.  [popcorn]

I always love how the RINOs and their kith and kin always are going to do "the right thing" when they are in the minority.  When they get in charge they conveniently forget about it.

No surprise
Democrats in the House turned aside a GOP-led privileged resolution to censure House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Monday in a straight party-line 218-185 vote
In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.

McCarthy = George Armstrong Custer.
Schiff = Chief Crazy Horse.


Both McCarthy and Custer should have known the  numbers were not right for them.

Yes,  it does show the impeachment vote .... was it in doubt? [popcorn]

I have no doubt that at least a handful of "Republicans" will vote with the Democrats come impeachment vote time.

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

If Trump really has done something impeachable, hopefully all of them vote for it. If not, hopefully enough democrats vote against it.

Well the next stunt provides much better theater:

House Republicans briefly shut down a closed-door meeting Wednesday by storming the room where lawmakers were questioning a Defense Department official involving the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.

I'm assuming Democrats are applauding the sit in? :)

Though I think "sit-ins" from either side are kinda dumb.

People who believe silly things about moral busybodies are most likely to be silly moral busybodies. Or something.

I like the CS Lewis quote about moral busy bodies.

Oddly, I was arguing on fb this morning and had the perfect opportunity to use it but decided not to go there.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.
