I just noticed something. In profile Adam Schiff looks a little like Kevin Spacey. Does anyone else see it?

Neither would the money lenders or plutocrats or oligarchs. They'll vote for their own self-interests which revolves around filthy lucre.

Any time the slightest hint of an issue arises, flames fly. And they repeatedly and obsessively harken back to every past thing he did that “offended” them. Many of us who are Jewish can often see the inherent bias in the wording of the slams... of some, even as they’d claim to be above that.

But it will still be a factor by the anti-semite bigots out there. Question is always can this be overcome?

and he's exactly where he needs to be for the foreseeable future, but he would be a superb Attorney General, and I guarantee he's already on the short list of all the Democratic presidential candidates.

many times over the past couple of years. He inspires such confidence, as he is calm and measured, as well as smart and principled. He never grandstands or plays to the camera. He explains things succinctly and knowledgeably, he must have been a really effective prosecutor.

If I was casting a movie with a strong, principled president, the character would be a lot like Adam Schiff.

And to be entirely honest he's one of the main reasons I haven't just deleted my account there. Always spot on with his observations and as noted elsewhere in this thread he always seems to get to the heart of the matter of whatever he tweets about.

We would not have to look at a triple chin or hair weave again!

Apology, guys,I could not help myself. But looking at Nancy, still trim, Schiff, so neat and brilliant,
Swalwell, Beto, Biden, slim and fit.

I think that goes with a disciplined person.
