Furthermore
"But Schiff was helped Wednesday by more than 20 Republicans who voted with Democrats to stop the censure resolution or voted “present,” giving Democrats enough votes to block the measure."

Bravo for bipartisanship!

I think some Republicans are waking up to the change in the wind.

The only reason the Republicans didn't do it was because the 16 million dollar fine was a violation of the 6th and 8th amendments.

But they still know he was a liar.

I see. Then it was just another political witch-hunt that would have never passed, but boy did they make donation bank off of it!

Then when they try to censure him again, they will rake in more cash, while George Santos sits there smiling, lying and lying again. Funny how that will work.

No, it was a ridiculous attempt to basically rob someone of their money.

Why is that ridiculous? trump does it all the time to contractors, government officials, foreign governments, and people cheer him.

No, I don't think Republicans are into fining people. Typically, that's a left wing tactic.

He fines people? I don't think so.

Face it, they are not censuring him because he is a liar...they are all liars. They are doing it as payback for Schiff's role in impeaching trump. That is all this is, more revenge.

And yet, here we had republicans employing a fining tactic. Apparently, the republicans ARE into fining people.

The Floridian who started this is from Florida. Over there, Republicans are experimenting with all kinds of wild tactics, including copying off the Playlist of Belarus, like by dumping migrants off at their rivals doorsteps.

This failed because the traditional Republicans stopped it.

Good for them. I wish more traditional republicans would speak out.

Do we know how the $16 M was arrived at?

Relieved to seem some House Republicans still refer to the Constitution.

I believe it was a percentage of the cost of the investigations that Schiff was part of.

If so, then they should have billed the government! I mean we Arizonans are paying for all the ridiculous empty lawsuits against election fraud in the state, which the republicans have lost every time, not to mention the assinine amounts of money we have to pay on the account of Joe Arpio!. No wonder reasonable republicans rejected the stupid censure. Yes, there is still hope for the republic,

Say it aint so · Jun 14, 2023

I suggest one READS THE LEGISLATION.

It sounds like a GOP interview with Hannity except with the paragraphs starting with a bunch of "Whereas..."
