30 years ago there were 29 women sworn in to the House of Representatives. 16 Democrats and 13 Republicans.

Today there will be 102 women serving in the House. 89 Democrats and…13 Republicans.

Historic day to be sure, but it’s also clear who made it so.

Sounds about par for the course for this clown show of an administration.

How’s the content of their character?

The contents of their character are sitting in seats in zip code 20515.

As compared to Dumpster Donnie?

Lol. Peculiar.

Congratulations on your race and gender?
No.
That is not an accomplishment.
I will congratulate them when they do something worthwhile.

And a new bi-sexual Senator from Arizona who rocked the place today with her clothing AND BY NOT putting her hand on a bible as she was sworn in by Pence. I bet she dressed just for him, because you know, Mother wasn’t there by his side.

I’m pretty sure all of those listed has more character in their little finger than trump could ever dream about.
