The Dems Move the Cantina into the Senate
MOTUS A.D. ^ | 1-19-20 | MOTUS

Was it just me or did the march of the ‘peachment remind anyone else of the bar scene in Star Wars?

Hakeem Jeffries, Sylvia Garcia, Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff, Val Demings, Zoe Lofgren and Jason Crow: just as diverse, nearly as weird as the original Cantina patrons.

Four men - 1 Muslim, 2 Jews, 1 white guy who could pass as a Native American if need be; Three women - 1 black, 1 Hispanic, 1 suburban white mom. How Democrat of them: much more representative of the Dems victim group patronage than their Presidential debate panel earlier this week.

And speaking of Star Wars and Democrat presidential candidates many people continue to be underwhelmed by Tuesday’s game: “Doesn’t anyone want to be president?” asked James Freeman in the Wall Street Journal.

Oooh, oooh, oooh!  I do, I do!!

Six competitors took the stage at Tuesday’s Democratic presidential debate at Iowa’s Drake University. But nobody wanted to compete… Do any of the leading Democratic candidates want the job?

It that’s actually the case, I thing Tom Steyer would be the Dem’s best bet.

He appears to be styled after C-3PO, a droid programmed for etiquette, customs and protocol intended to facilitate communication between different species.

Unfortunately, like C-3PO he appears to be rather oblivious of nuance.

Sanders, Warren, SteyerAwkward!

But he is useful in that he provides needed comic relief when the narrative bogs down. Plus, as the first total droid presidential candidate, he could help the Dems create an entirely new special interest group.  

“Hello fellow Droids, I’m Tom Steyer and I want to be your leader.”

Just imagine the dialogue in his presidential debate with PDJT:

“Something's not right, because now I can't see. Oh, oh, yes, that's much better. Wait... wait. Oh, my. What have you done? I'm BACKWARDS. You flea-bitten furball. Only an overgrown mop-head like you would be stupid enough to...”

Others have noted the Star Wars flavor
Their March in, set to music, evoking the evil empire.

Pelosi's "March of The Impeachment" through the halls of Congress was expertly
produced and choregraphed........ as was the personalized pen-signing ceremony.

Does Nancy have a deal with Netflix?

Maybe she's pitching a reality show to Disney?...... "I was a Fact-Checker for Impeachment."

Being Catholic, it reminded me of a religious procession (the first picture in this thread with St. Serra holding up the cross is fantastically and ironically appropriate). They are holding the articles of impeachment before them as if it is a holy book. Speaker Pelosi’s signing the document in gilded trays and pens is their “blessed sacrament.” The irony is delicious, especially if it wasn’t intentional (which I believe it subconsciously was). To the Democrats this was much a religious act as it was a political act.

Of course the Black woman was chosen to hold the holy book at the head of this religious procession. Virtue signaling, political correctness, and pandering are what it's all about for them.

The music to “Send in the Clowns” just popped into my head after seeing that first picture.

It sure seemed to be orchestrated, to give the likes of Chris Mathews thrills, as the media reverentially reported on the dramatic march. It was clearly orchestrated.
