  1. I took about a million screenshots of faces too, they were so compelling. AOC: Not having it at all except to dance in celebration over the new House. Nancy: 90% looking disgusted, 10% defensive, protective hands against the egregious BS! Schumer: Amused in a strategic way. Kushner: Fatuous! Pence: Penceface! Pramila Jayapal: No, just NO!

  2. Someone should tell Mike Pence there’s only one God, and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have orange hair.
