Mr. Schiff (D-CA) has called for an independent commission to investigate Russia interference in the Presidential Election 2016 after Chair Devin Nunes' (R-CA) shared data from an exclusive intelligence briefing with our "new" alt-white-house before other committee members.
Ranking member Schiff need not await the irregular behavior of Chairman Nunes before establishing an independent commission to thoroughly investigate Russia's interference in the Presidential Election 2016.

Befuddled supports of our "new" alt-white-house have tentatively interpreted its latest rectum-rambling as "who man a fort" while reminding everybody of all its accomplishments after just 60 days!

The California senior senator's observations that our "new" alt-white-house "...is going to get himself out..." is likely prescient. Or as some might say, when your head is that far up your rectum, asphyxiation is likely!
Although, it will benefit our nation et al. if California's senior senator and others begin building a rhetorical wall around our "new" alt-white-house. When it "goes" the experience will unlikely be de rigueur or pleasant for our nation et al. and citizenry.
Former Speaker Pelosi begins construction of the rhetorical-wall around our "new" alt-white-house by demanding an apology to the American people for its persistent recklessness and outrageous rectum-ramblings.

On its 43rd day our "new" alt-white-house issues a proclamation blaming former President Obama for everything, which is not the fault of Hillary Clinton and declares America great, once again! Reminding supporters of all its accomplishment after just 43 days!
It seems so unfair that our "new" alt-white-house can so effortlessly and beautifully satirize itself!
It's not clear whether the majority members on our congressional intelligence committees are more interested in limiting any inquiry and damage control or conducting an in-depth investigation into Russia's 2016 Presidential Election meddling?
In the alt-reality of our "new" alt-white-house Sessions' possible participation in a criminal conspiracy to influence our 2016 Presidential Election, uniquely qualifies him to investigate it.
...and misleading Congress or worse during his confirmation hearing for United States attorney general about his contacts with the Russian government during the 2016 Presidential Election makes him especially "well qualified" to serve as attorney general in our "new" alt-white-house government.
It seems unfair that our "new" alt-white-house can so effortlessly and beautifully satirize itself!
...and...and...Sessions has just recuse himself. Sessions is already half way out the door of the office of the United States attorney general and our "new" alt-white-house has expressed "full confidence" in Sessions.

A "new" alt-white-house spokesperson, Stephen Miller, apparently fresh from fascist finishing school expresses frustration with our judiciary's constitutional responsibilities to check ALL executive actions—who could have predicted that!? Just a reminder that congress' constitutional responsibilities include impeachment authority, which encompasses an alt-white-house that routinely and systematically operates in an alt-reality.
Our “new” alt-white-house tells our citizenry not to worry about "tough phone calls with foreign leader, as global tensions escalate.
“When you hear about the tough phone conversations I’m having, don’t worry about it. Just don’t worry about it. They’re tough. We have to be tough. It’s time we’re gonna be a little tough, folks.” --FT, 02/02/2017--
The “new” alt-white-house's Jim Jonesesque speech at this morning's National Prayer Breakfast is truly disquieting:
Huh..., can we begin impeachment proceedings now (a nascent effort) or must we await the shame, embarrassment, and damage to accumulate beyond repair?

UPDATED 01/23/2017 Vox, Donald Trump's conflicts of interest span the globe
-----notes------
1. Our “new” alt-white-house uses the phrase "make America great again" whatever that means? Nevertheless, one wonders how its practices are going to reverse its dystopian perception of America (Inaugural Address) and "make America great again"?
2. All current confirmation hearings should begin with a warning that our “new” alt-white-house is under active investigation by U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies, which may result in the Presidential Election of 2016 being annulled for improper and illegal conduct!
3. UPDATED 02/01/2017 Those seeking to launch our nation on McCarthy-like hunts for chimera "terrorists" must understand the harm such hysterically fueled witch hunts can inflict (e.g. Google key employees leave for Baidu (百度)).
Our “new” alt-white-house must account with real data (as opposed to alt-data, invented-data, imaginary-data, false-data, or fictive-data etc.) for its current immigrant intercept program (i.e. how many terrorists versus doctors, engineers, scholars, mathematicians, biologists, physicists etc. it intercepts).
Our “new” alt-white-house and its newspeak-spokespersons so routinely publish misleading, fictive, false, invented, incorrect, or inaccurate information that one wonders whether it's running an intentional misinformation-disinformation campaign against our citizenry4, admittedly tiny and tyro when compared and contrasted with comrade Putin's or is it nemets Adamov's campaigns?!
An alt-explanation is equally alarming; our “new” alt-white-house is just incompetent?! BostonGlobe, Disturbing Truths About Trump and His Team and EuroNews, Meet Steve Bannon, Trump's Front Man to Fight All Wars and Reuters, Highlights: The Trump Presidency on January 31 at 3:40 P.M. EST/2040 GMT and Reuters, Covering Trump the Reuters Way.
America didn't just send in the clowns we sent in the clowns' understudies, at least slightly less than half of America (see Reuters, Exclusive: Trump's Travel Ban Polarizes America - Reuters/Ipsos Poll)
4. UPDATED 07/01/2017 Democratic governments must counterbalance the periodic soft-power misinformation-disinformation campaigns of other mostly authoritarian nations (e.g. CarnegieEndowment, Vladimir Putin’s Political Meddling Revives Old KGB Tactics and WP, Russia’s Radical New Strategy for Information Warfare and EU Observer, British Spies to Help EU stop Russian Meddling and Telegraph, Russia has Made Fake News into a Weapon That Threatens Democracy in Europe and CNN, Tim Kaine: We're in the New Age of Information Warfare ... and We're Losing and YaleGlobalOnline, Empire by Other Means: Russia’s Strategy for the 21st Century) , but our government must never target our citizenry with misinformation-disinformation campaigns!
Listen to the shocking interview" recently (February 05, 2017) given by our “new” alt-white-house and aired just before Super Bowl Fifty-one, which uses a propagandist's favorite technique, the "false equivalency". When told by the interviewer that "Putin's a killer..." the interviewee responds by pointing out that ...a lot of killers...we've got a lot of killers, what do you think our country's [America] so innocent..."
The interview is full of misinformation and disinformation targeting a large audience. Some of the interviewee's responses are fact checked by PolitiFact, Fact-checking Donald Trump’s Super Bowl Interview.
How long before our "new" alt-white-house begins to inform us that "even if it's a lie it's true" or even if it's true it's a lie"?

(note: several problems with the video's sound)
Countering misinformation and disinformation is about more than our "new" alt-white-house, but any American campaign to counter these strategic hybrid-tactics will fail without understanding and acknowledging when such tactics are used against our own citizenry.
Stated differently efforts by Senator Rob Portman to minimize the very active misinformation and disinformation campaign being run by our "new"alt-white-house against our citizenry is itself both misinformation and disinformation!
5. An online clock showing the number of days our "new" alt-white house has existed without impeachment.

12. If our nation has been so "unfairly" treated by the rest of the world as our "new" alt-white-house continually and incorrectly proclaims one wonders how it has accumulated $18,036,648M of the $74,292,303M global 2015 (latest available) GDP?
Yes, more nations are competing for a "fair" proportion of the global GDP to raise or keep up their living standards. Yes, current economic theory, environmental expectations, and technology possibility curves (and other miscellaneous constraints) will likely temporarily slow the growth rate of our global GDP, which justifiably frightens many nations' leaders.
Fortunately, most of nations' leaders are not misbehaving as badly and stupidly as those with the largest proportions of existing global GDP (i.e. greatest perceived loss)! Certainly, those nations behaving badly and stupidly (e.g. nationalism, bombing, warring, bullying, isolationism, accusations of "unfairness" etc.) will not increase the growth rate of our global GDP by such misbehavior!
The good news is that independently of some nations' bad and stupid behavior very smart people across nations are working hard to alter these perceived major constraints on our global GDP, which is no mean feat!
Our "new" alt-white-house severely harms our nation and impedes solutions to these difficult global constraints with it bellicose, belligerent, bullying, and bigoted behavior. Instead of working to lessen these global constraints our "new" alt-white-house is using them to cynically appeal to a small segment of our electorate, which it incorrectly perceives as necessary to it political power.
...and don't forget to laugh...it's our journalist invoked, citizen protected, judiciary enforced, and "new" alt-white-house denigrated First Amendment, which enables the son of Indian immigrants to help us laugh at ourselves...
