Link to tweet

this photo took my breath away
no kidding

1. The Reckoning Crew.

I like that

[EarnestPutz]

21. Did not recognize one of the five new chairman.

On the far right (of the photo) is Congressman Richard Neal from
the First District of Massachusetts, soon to be the head of Ways and Means.
Told this by "littlemisssmartypants" (comment #13). Thank you. Wiki tells me that he also
teaches a journalism class at UMass Amhearst called "The Politician and the Journalist".
Hope he leans into Trump and his ridiculous "fake news" refrain (so unfair).

2. Somehow I think taking the fifth isn't going to work with these five.

[Stuart G]

3. And further, This crew looks quite "experienced"..not "new.."

..They look like they are ready for the "job at hand." ..k and r.

[akraven]

4. What a great photo! Thank you!

Hold on to your hats, friends, it's going to be quite a ride!!

[Stuart G]

5. I agree with you completely...But this ride,,I will enjoy with the above drivers..

..............

[akraven]

7. Amen, Stuart G - it'll get me through the long dark.

Drive on!!

6. My answer to 45's tweet would simply be Merrick Garland

Nothing else needs to be said.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

20. I agree, but I doubt he'd understand the reference.

Maybe someone can explain it to him in...small...words.

[DontBooVote]

8. Now that is a statement for historical posterity...Reckoning Crew, indeed, oasis!

Exactly what I've yearned to see from our leaders while in the minority.

[volstork]

9. Love that look on Maxine's face!

She's thinking, "Um-hm..."

[pansypoo53219]

28. like a pitt bull.

[SunSeeker]

10. Replies to Trump's twitter posts have been HILARIOUS since a court ordered him to unblock everyone.

More at the link.

You're welcome.

[William Seger]

17. Neal's Ways and Means Committee can get tax returns ;)

[littlemissmartypants]

34. Every little bit helps. eom

[Leghorn21]

32. Thank you, pants! I just stole this pic from that tweet...didn't know who Rep. Neal was -

Much appreciated!

[littlemissmartypants]

35. You're welcome, Leghorn21. Happy to be able to help. eom

[Hekate]

14. Kicking for the New Year

[drmeow]

15. I don't care about his mind

I want him to lose his job and his freedom!

[LuckyLib]

18. His mind is already lost. I agree -- I want to see him in an orange jump suit and handcuffs!

[calimary]

19. Now THAT's what you call a Super Group.

Super heroes for sure!

[EarnestPutz]

22. If that's a portrait of Warren G. Harding in the background...

...it's a really nice touch. Numerous scandals and an affair didn't bring
him down, but he is "often rated among the worst" presidents.

[EarnestPutz]

23. Group photos of sports teams often have the players frowning...

...at the camera. Coaches tell them to intimidate their future opponents
by doing so. These Democrats aren't exactly smiling, but you can tell that
they are quite happy about their prospects.

[Talitha]

24. YEAH - HELL YEAH!!!

[MFM008]

25. tomorrow

[duforsure]

26. Little whinny trump

Will be claiming he's the victim soon , and everything is unfairly done to hurt him. Criminals like him always try to proclaim they are being treated unfairly when it all closes in on them. Con artist try to reverse the claims by claiming they are the guilty ones. Expect trump to have tried to get dirt on past Presidents and other higher ranking people when they lower the boom on him. He's done that before to politicians to allow him to escape justice in the past, back off or else he'll attack them with it.

[Butterflylady]

29. That picture will one day

Be in history books.

[niyad]

30. Goddess forfend that Dems should be seen as "oversealous" in dealing with the tangerine tyrant,

after two years of the fucking, gutless coward pukes enabled the madman.

hey, dotard, you better make sure you wear brown pants.

[maxsolomon]

31. The House has nothing to do with what he's whinging about

Good thing about Senate obstruction; they don't give a fuck what Trump says.

[Leghorn21]

33. So we're down to about 18-19 hours now?

[VOX]

36. Like a boxing glove loaded with steel bolts.

Unfair? Let’s talk about what Repugs think is “fair.”

[Scurrilous]
