House Republicans returning their attention again to Democrat Rep Adam Schiff  their avid desire to censure himpound on their Majority chests

AZs Juan Ciscomani tweeted a statement 

                                            in part  “Schiff’s behavior has been irresponsible, dangerous and damaging to our country (he assumed our refers to that country that shares Republicans worldview – that they inhabit – that theyre not prone to share with Democrats and a large majority of coloured people  albeit Mr Juan Guadalupe Ciscomani III is brown). It is critical that the legislation to hold him accountable be constitutionally sound (Republicans love love love touting the Constitution when it serves their purpose is beneficial to their arguments – like theyre wearing big boy big girl panties) in order to avoid any games some will inevitably try to play.” 

NOW

       if Mr Ciscomani and his House ilk have read US v Trump-Nauta THEN theyd understand exactly what is irresponsible dangerous ILLEGAL and damaging to all people who comprise the United States of America and its territories – Puerto Rico  US Virgin Islands  Guam  Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa
