Before this week Hakeem has been working behind the scenes, while Nancy got the spotlight most of the time. I hadn't had many chances to hear him speak before now, but I'm sure it would be different if I lived in New York. However he has impressed a lot of people this week.

clinton’s blow job. srsly, all shit falls to him. they get shit done, the sane voters r happy. but they barely have their finger prints on it.
he’s gonna run the place anyway. nothing will get done w/o him.
and he’s a great spokesman for team normal.

is that democrats and doj realize that some if not most of the incoming majority are traitors. And if there are 30 or so indictments of the 20 or so traitors (maybe more) that are involved with I6 rebellion will maybe going to jail., they will never have a majority of any more than treason.

In a just world most of the house members will end up in prison.

But I'm not holding my breath.
