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 Tuesdays game: Doesnt 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 Tuesdays Democratic presidential debate at Iowas Drake University. But nobody wanted to compete Do any of the leading Democratic candidates want the job?
It thats actually the case, I thing Tom Steyer would be the Dems 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.
Awkward!
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, Im 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...

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.

Hang every one of the bastards.
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.
