1. I have been cheering and am so proud of this moment!

3. I can't wait to see the photo of her with all those children

She did the same thing the last time she was speaker. She gets it. It’s about them!

7. I am thinking of all the Repub kids who will want one!

Smart political move to demonstrate inclusiveness and get the younger generation interested in the process. Love her on so many levels!!

2. Crying tears of joy

and relief that there's an adult in charge of important things...finally.

4. I am cheering and clapping.

5. Indeed. I posted the same. Strength and power for good.

I might yet live during some good years for us, brought about by strong women, in the way that women are strong.

6. Something in my

EYE!!!

Hopeful. I hope they can live up to expectations. At least we know she and they are ethical. Also, they are adults. They will try. The newbies won't let them get away with anything shady. I'm optimistic.

In some part this makes up for not having a woman Prez. She is the most powerful woman in our country and a lot riding on her shoulders. She's perfectly positioned and completely up to the task. She will out-strategize and out-play them.

Her place in history more than secure.

I could hardly sleep awaiting this!!

PS you know damn well drump shut down the gov't to partly rain on her parade. Failed again!

10. It is a great day.

12. A historic day when history swerved left!

This will effectively put a halt to that burgeoning Fascism Trump and his jackboot supporters desire so much. Fuck them!

11. First I lost my voice - lol! Yelling and cheering and crying!

And OMG, the kids! Cried all over again!

13. No streaming at work, but I'm watching it vicariously through DU's eyes.

And cheering along with you guys!

It's been a long two years. With the adults allowed back into the DC discussions, now maybe we can get some answers, and more importantly, work and fix all the crap he's broken...
