It's your favorite Devil's advocate here. I have a question for you all:

Do we have guarantee that the $16 million fine included within the censure attempt on Schiff would survive a constitutional challenge on 8th Amendment grounds (prohibits cruel and unusual punishments and prohibits excessive fines)?

As you know, twenty House Republicans voted against the measure to censure and fine the Watermelon head. Everyone got upset and the influencers fanned the flames. What the influencers and the rest of the sheep on social media and here won't tell you is that there might have been a potential problem with the $16 million fine. The problem that it runs the risk of be considered excessive or being considered cruel and unusual per 8th Amendment provisions.

Rep. Massie mentioned those concerns in this article here, which gotten very lost in all of the noise:

I know that we masterbate to the thought of watermelon head getting exploded like this. However we risk looking stupid if the fine gets challenged and thrown out, along with the censure if the fine is attached to the censure.

I have the feeling that if the censure is presented by itself, then I bet many of the 20 "treasonous RINOs" will vote the right way. The fine complicates things needlessly.

And I have special blame to place on DC Draino and other influencers on Truth Social and here on GAW for omitting that part in their social media posts. Lying by omission is still lying and each lie weakens is and does a disservice to MAGA and the Great Awakening.

When you report on something, I want the whole truth, not half truths designed to be fed to the bleating sheep amongst us.
