A PENCIL in Schiff's eye?
« on: January 27, 2023, 07:47:03 AM »
That's what Matt Gaetz wants to do.

Gaetz introduced the PENCIL resolution -- Preventing Extreme Negligence with Classified Information Licenses -- that would strip Schiff of his access to any and all classified documents.

This is going to be a fun one to watch...

I usually roll my eyes at the acronyms that congress thinks up to be witty, but I have to admit that this one and the PELOSI legislation have me chuckling.  :laugh:

Yep.
Zero chance of Brandon signing any of them though

Even if they pass the House (not a certainty, there are still RINOs in office) do you think the D's in the Senate will let any of these bills reach Brandon's desk?    :rofl:

Not really, but at least there's a chance even if it's only 10%. Can always hope for a DINO or two though.
With Brandon 0%

Of course none of these will actually become law.

Gaetz knows that.

He's shooting to very publicly humiliate Schiff. Nothing more.

On a slight tangent, the Schiff thing SHOULD go somewhere in a normal world. This jackass, who has access to our most protected intelligence, and who is a known bucketmouth and leaker, also has tiktok on his phone.

Of course he does. His Chinese handlers demand it because they need to know what he's doing. They don't trust him any more than we do.

One thing to note:  Resolutions are not the same thing as legislation.  Resolutions do not become law unless they are reintroduced as legislation at a later date.  Resolutions are more a "sense of Congress" thing.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Yet another reason why none of these will ever become law.

But, if I'm not mistaken, if the resolution WERE to be passed by the House, the House could act on it my not sharing any classified information with Schiff, correct?

Could be someone pushed the wrong button but the timing was too perfect.

Adam Schiff pressed by Dana Bash over his lies for pretty much the first time in countless CNN appearances over the past 7 years. As if on cue, chyron writer makes him a Republican.

CNN’s Dana Bash actually called Adam Schiff a liar so OF COURSE this was their chyron (screenshot)

Resolution filed to expel Schiff

Quote
Florida Rep. Ana Paulina Luna filed a resolution on Wednesday evening to expel Rep. Adam Schiff, formerly the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, from Congress alleging that he pushed a false narrative to the American people in the Trump-Russia investigation.

"Adam Schiff lied to the American people. He used his position on House Intelligence to push a lie that cost American taxpayers millions of dollars and abused the trust placed in him as Chairman. He is a dishonor to the House of Representatives," Luna said in a press release Wednesday, May 17.
