(36,095 posts)I'm an English teacher, and think that our changing big culture also loves and needs such art that reflects the progress of our more perfect union.
This is, seriously, a great idea. Maybe DU can commission such a painting and present it at some appropriate People's Ceremony.
Maybe The People's Choice Awards For Good Governance can be such an event. Perhaps the Indivisibles can run it.

However it is done, the historical significance can not be underestimated.

very uncomfortable, and turns it into an even better statement. And it
renders Mike Pence even more colorless than he really is.

(2,120 posts)...and your choice of the Kandinsky effect, out of dozens of choices,
could not have better. Best possible choice. Kudos, Mr. Bushwhacker.

(5,810 posts)I was just imagining if tRump had been the one swearing her in. Now that would have been a show stopper. And for sure, hed have turned to admire her backside as she left the stage. He would not have been able to stop himself from making an inappropriate remark. At least Pence was courteous and appropriate.

Yes. That pink may have been a bit of a taunt to her appointed AZ junior senator, Martha McSalley, who criticized a pink outfit while campaigning, as well as her bare arms to Pence and his religious extremism. Sinema threw a tiny "fur" thing over her shoulders for the real swearing in before the photo op version with Pence; that may be it in her bag.

(53,410 posts)DU is the perfect place to hone your debating skills! No one who has been here long has escaped without being bloody from a fight or many fights. And youll find the longer people have been here the more tolerant and fair they are for the most part.
Especially during Presidential elections!

(13,485 posts)That's usually a tell but we'd have to know what she said. I could imagine she said something like I'm glad to be on board... then he says.. it's very humbling. In that case shaking his head could mean.. you shouldn't be or I'm not happy or he's just trying to find a way not to return the compliment.
