A House that contains George Santos censured Adam Schiff

Punchbowl News: “Up until this point, censures have been reserved for members who committed serious crimes or transgressions. Luna’s resolution accuses Schiff of abusing his power and misleading the public. But in truth, it may be simply due to the hatred of Schiff within the GOP. House Republicans first attempted to censure Schiff in 2019.”

Something such as a censure should succeed only by overwhelming bi-partisan support, not by a mere 4 lousy party line votes. If the consistently
ridiculous republicans think this insignificant, meaningless vote will deter Rep. Schiff in any way, the joke is on them. How many frivolous articles of impeachment by the Colorado coo-coo, and the Georgia gargoyle does it take before they are censured?

Designed to directly reflect the reporting of their propaganda media in the halls of Congress. Ditto the Durham report.

Handed the most beautiful democracy in the world, this is how they choose to embrace it. By not embracing it all but pretending to.

They stick hard and fast to their double standard, and will not waver from it.

Murder by a Republican is a misdemeanor. Littering by a Democrat is a felony.
