There are clips which indicate Tiffany is quite accomplished at getting his hands off her and away from her. That skill level isn't achieved by accident or by chance.

Maybe that is her, just a little older. I forget when the baby was born (2018?). I loved that nickname.

Although his daughter will not remember today, pictures like this will let her know she was there with her father at this transitional time in our history.

back in January 2019, during the opening of the 116th congress after the Democrats took back the house... and she was being passed around to other members of Congress in his general vicinity.

and the cameras were continually scanning the room and would pop over to him rocking the baby every once in awhile.

That day many members of Congress brought their children and of course our dear Speaker had many of them up on the dais -



and one her granddaughters stole the show!

The results of the blue tsumani and getting that gavel back was a great moment in time and was a poignant bookend to RBG's final moments in time.

This is one of those moments that will be remembered throughout the nation's history.

An innocent child with her father giving their respects to the greatest supreme court justice of modern times lying in state, while the liar in chief plots to pack the court with another sycophant and steal a second election.
