I think this whole thing may just be to get us all to "look here" and try to understand the details about how the fines work; when, if ever, they can be issued, etc.
We see from the state level legislature fights that the House does have some recourse to throw out elected members and discipline them. And it's become increasingly common to use such techniques.
I continue to believe Massie is a good apple. And keep in mind the deep state play here may be to remove Schiff from the Senate race now that he's about to become toxic.
I think white hats want Schiff front and center in the Senate, where all of CA can see him very clearly.
HIGH IQ COMMENT. Thank you!!!
I agree with this. I believe that Lunas resolution was sabotaged with the fine. Read the 8th and 27th Amendments. The 16 million dollar fine violates both.
Massie is currently in litigation over his own fines imposed by Pelosi for not wearing a mask. He has a libertarian bent. I support Massies reasons for his no vote even though the results of the resolution are very desirable. The other 19? Who knows without an explanation. Its probably a mixture of standing strong for their values and cronyism.
Massie has some serious cahones and seems to be a die-hard constitutionalist. Sometimes he makes me sad and hurt my feelings though. But then I learn what his aim is and I feel ok.
Nope. Doesn't work that way.
Yes, Schiff needs a very public flogging. Massie hates that shithead as much as any of us. He CAN NOT however vote on some arbitrary “fine” … I say the 20 that voted to TABLE the motion (set it aside for later so it may be amended) did the right thing.
We cannot VIOLATE THE CONSTITUTION. It must be legal and fair.
Some people just dont get it. You either have values and stand strong or you arent any better than what we fight. People downvoting you do so through pure emotion.
GAW has been slipping off the emotional slope as of the late. A lot of emotional temper-tantrums with very little logical analysis of the situation.
If GAW does not sober up, then they'll become just as impotent and useless as PDW. GAW's power comes from logical analysis and observations, not emotional hot-takes, group-think, and dooming.
That is why I keep on playing the Devil's Advocate, to break up the circle-jerks and group thinks while bringing a fresh discussion point for GAW to chew upon and hopefully get better.
I have read a whole bunch of comments today of people calling him a RINO. That is some low IQ, uninformed BULLSHIT. That would be tantamount to calling Trump a RINO.
Read the article. BLUF: He is fighting Pelosi violating almost the same thing this vote would have done (fining members for refusing to wear a mask). There was ZERO ZERO ZERO logic applied to the AMOUNT OF the Schiff “fine”. It was just made up - “Half” the cost of the Russia Collusion bullshit was made up. MASSIE SAID NO TO THIS.
Agreed. "Fining Schiff is ok, but fining Massie is illegal", is not a smart approach.
Also interesting to consider: how many stood idly by while Massie was fined for masking?
Massie was one of the very few to say "no" to the mask.
I cant believe how willing people are to throw their values out the window for an emotional fix.
From what I understand they dropped the fine part of the resolution in order to protect other congressmen. They all stick together and they are all evil
No kidding ,, yes the demon murderous pig needs to be hung , but he should reimburse what the people had to spend for the Russia witch hunt. I’m all for just hanging him but … in case he dies of old age and has some televised funeral with accolades before this all goes down , it would be nice if one of these murderous demons got there hand slapped and hit with a fine , God for bid !
Who gives a shit if it's unconstitutional? Would the Dims care? Let them sue and we'll figure it out it court -- just like they do. Massey is a pussy.
Men whose values shift in order to achieve an illegal but desired outcome are the pussies. Strong men stand firm in their beliefs.
100%
Low IQ comment. Dems dont give a fuk because they are communist trash that hates the constitution, Kinda like how you sound.
The "Constitution" is decided in courts. Dims know it. Why don't you?
The constitution is INTERPRETED in the courts. It was decided about 240 years ago. Im not surprised you dont know that.
Thanks for the deep thoughts Massey. You're a loser.
Hahaha … you have no idea how the court system works, yet Im the loser. You sound vaccinated.
Notice how Massie is fucked in the ass having to defend himself over his fine? That's what people want for Schiff and that is completely lost on Republicans because they'd rather be graceful losers.
No because we are fighting for a just world and breaking laws to get there defeats all we wish to achieve.
