They are bright in white and their faces shine with their diversity.


The dour faces of so many old GOP white men in their black suits are a sharp contrast.

Out of the darkness and into the light.

Thanks, Peggy.

Dressed in white in solidarity to suffragettes past and those that due to manipulation still fight.

Who would have thought a SOTU that we all dreaded would turn out to be an evening we would rejoice.

The women in white and the leader of the pack, Nancy Pelosi smirked and her Chershire Cat smile was divine.

We shall shine!

I did as well, yet I watched. I wanted to the reactions.

Dayum, Nancy set this up perfectly. Don had no clue that he was being played for a fool.

Brava.

The icing on the cake was when he became flustered.

That was a hoot. Yup...he was flustered....had to have been medicated for that speech. He would normally have blasted them. Wait for the tweet in a few hours. The meds will have worn off by then.

They were awesome hooting and laughing. They rattled him.

And Pelosi's smirk was there for all to see over his shoulder.

I cannot watch him or listen to him. His voice and constant self-adulation drives me nuts. I have seen some clips and the reactions were terrific. It must have driven him nuts.

I am saving them. I didn't watch SOTU, because I can't stand looking at or listening to him. Instead, I watched a documentary on Gloria Steinem. It was very fitting to do that this evening. It made these photos even more powerful, knowing that these women are our future.

However I relished watching Pelosis's expressions over his shoulder. And those beautiful women in congress, newbies and the rest of the beautiful women actually frolic and laugh in front of the trumpster. They did. He was caught of guard.

All these women are a force to be reckoned with.

She looked nice.

If she knew wearing white was in solidarity with the women's movement, then she's a heck of a lot nicer than the rest of that family.

whatever, since it would have highlighted how shockingly few there are of them. Their own GOP brains are reportedly very unhappy with lack of support from their party. What on earth do they imagine they're part of?

But if we're truly going to be a true representation of our population, then half of the House and half of the Senate needs to be female. I will go to my grave happy if/when that happens. Throw in having either a female President and male VP or a male President and female VP.
