    I wonder if Gaetz and Jim Jordan talk about their sexual exploits with minors and allowing young boys to be raped.

    And reds love those two dipshits. Sad.

    I rather doubt it. A bill of attainder is essentially finding someone guilty of a crime via legislation, as opposed to a trial by a jury of their peers, or a plea bargain. I'm not sure being stripped of your security clearance would count, as it's not a criminal conviction or punishment. Though, if this bill were to pass, which I doubt even though I don't think the man deserves to be on a City Council, much less a Member of the House, I seriously doubt. Should I be wrong about that, I suspect it will take a Judicial ruling to determine if you are correct or not.

    I wouldn't mind finding out.

    Does it make any meaningful difference if it's just a plain old lie, as opposed to a 'notorious' one? Linguistically speaking, I believe the word 'notoriously', as used in the sentence you have repeatedly questioned applies to the person speaking the lies in question, not the lies themselves. Either way, it makes no material difference whether that word is used in this case or not. The man straight up fabricated information he claimed to be in possession of, and got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Whether or not it was a notorious cookie, he was still stealing cookies he wasn't supposed to have.

    Doesn't Schiffty look like a mix of Kevin spacey and slingblade? I'm sure they've got some real dirt on this scumbag.

    A bill of attainder is a law that only applies to one person.

    You know what I wonder? I wonder if your post constitutes libel and/or slander, as you are making wild, extremely serious accusations without an ounce of evidence to back it up. Don't get me wrong, if they are in fact guilty of what you are accusing them of, I'll gladly help you strap them into Old Sparky and flip the switch myself, but you're missing the 'fact' part. All you've done is state what is probably a baseless accusation as if it were indisputable fact.

    The problem is, you've got nothing but verbal diarrhea.

    House Democrats Hate Being Held To Their Own Standards: Committee Assignments Edition
    [​IMG]
    '...some of this is the 'play stupid games, win stupid prizes' effect.'

    Swallowswell (Banger of Fang) should be barred from classified information.

    'In the last Congress, Democrats -- then in the majority -- stripped two Republicans of their committee assignments, due to offensive statements they'd made. Dozens of House Democrats, led by the Squad, agitated for another GOP member to lose her committees, as well. At the time, nearly every Republican in Washington, including many of those not inclined to defend their sanctioned colleagues, warned that if Pelosi and her party went down this path, the shoe would end up on the other foot. If Democrats wanted break with tradition and wrest certain committee assignment decisions from the minority party, they would be answered in kind at the earliest opportunity. And here we are.'

    Karma is a bitch!

    Not so much karma as the US shouldn't allow leakers access to sensitive material.

    If a couple of fibs bother you, I take it you will not vote for Trump, or anyone, because just about all politicians have told a lie or two.

    In my view, a couple of fibs is nothing. Anyone can get facts wrong, or distort facts. But, when the lies are huge and are delivered by a veritable fire hose on the public, such as Trump does, that's worthy of criticism.

    Did you miss the entire Trump presidency where he promised the nation every day that he had overwhelming evidence of Russian collusion and that he was going to release it anytime...

    why do you even care? Compared to Trump, Schiff is an eagle scout.

    Anyway, Schiff's big sin was a parody. Look up the word.

    It's just like the big lie that when you guys say Trump's 'Russia, if your listening..." was a joke.

    That's a lie, and Republicans are lying about that. It wasn't a joke. It doesn't sound like a joke, and no one was laughing.

    So don't lecture us on Schiff lying. You don't even know what a lie is.

    That' not a lie, that's just believing something that didn't turn out to be true.

    I mean, given that trump and his cohorts contacted Russia over 140 times, that Trump spoke to Putin in secret, that Trump allowed to Russian spies in the oval office, and he didn't allow any American staff in the room, it's not unreasonable to have come to that conclusion. Given these facts, I didn't actually think he was coordinating with Russia, but I did believe, and still do, that he was Putin's 'useful idiot', or has Hillary so aptly stated, 'Putin's Puppet". That much is true.

    A lie is to know something if false, and continue to tell it.

    Getting facts wrong is not lying.

    Learn the difference.
