And then we have @SenatorFowler with the infamous warcry "CONGRESS IS ON THE CASE!" Yes you'll be on the case like you were on Benghazi. Barely.

Senator Zachary Fowler
@SenatorFowler

@Da_Hook I wasnt around for Benghazi, but we need to have a legal process. It's not perfect but justice must be served and this is our best option

@SenatorFowler, Congress is a slow, inefficient, lump. By the time you reach a conclusion, Corrupt Winston will be out of office, retired, and dead.

@Da_Hook I wont argue about the inefficient congress, but we should still seek justice. What would you propose we do otherwise?

@Da_Hook I understand your desire for expediency, but lets gather more evidence first and not just rely on the media. I believe that impeachment will follow but I would prefer to proceed carefully when bringing charges against a president

In all my years of experience in diplomacy, this Winston debacle has got to be one of the worst things I've ever witnessed. The United States shoud not negotiate with dictatorial states.

What I'm about to say may not be great in-party politics, but what @POTUS has done is unacceptable.

If what media reports is true then it is our duty to #ImpeachWinston

@ColoradoGov, funny you accuse someone or something else of being "out of touch" when your white-guilt rich Hollyweird party wrote the book on it. You're in a glass house, no stones allowed.

"Either way, I intend on making the case. I learned from my mistakes from the last time I introduced the bill, and I intend to push it through." Conti scoffed. "Incest is not a sexual orientation. Sexual orientation, gender identity, are not choices. If you'd like to make the case for the legalization of incest, more power to you. But I've heard enough shit attempting to link same sex relationships to incest or pedophilia to know that such attempts are hardly for good reason. You're giving the right validation in their 'slippery slope' arguments, and while it has become painfully clear that you just don't give a damn about the consequences of your actions, I do, because people like me have to live with the fear of a backlash every day. So allow me to make this painfully clear, Congressman: if you're passionate about incest legalization, pursue it on your own time. I've got real battles to fight here, battles with an actual body count. If you're curious as to what we're fighting for, or want to understand LGBT issues, then by all means, ask. Start a conversation. But a non-starter is saying 'Well if they can have it, let's fuck our own relatives.' Because whether you know it or not, your actions, your words, have consequences. Now, I am a believer in second chances. If you want to start fresh, great, I look forward to that. But if you make it your goal to sabotage the progress of our movement...I'll make a goal of my own, and you won't like it."

"Oh, well hey there Governor Williams! I didn't know anyone invited you here." O'Leary mocked. "It's not a choice! It's not natural! It's a slippery slope! Think of the consequences!"

He takes an apple out of his pocket and takes a crunchy bite of it.

"You're blowing my mind here Contz. Words have consequences? Wow! Maybe consequences like ending discrimination? Who would have thought?

Look at how pathetic you are. I mean really. Trying to defend equal rights here, and all you can talk about is how it makes your argument look bad? Boy, don't you have any spine?

He bites the apple again and lets juice run down his chin

"But you know, I think I get it, I got it now. You decided that you wanted politics so you could make playing hide the bologna with your f***buddy all legal and celebrated. Everyone else though, f*** them, am I right? I tell ya, if you didn't get your gander up at dudes, you'd be cheering the Governor in Mississippi! All about so you can get in your own f***ing and then everyone else can f*** themselves!

"Everyone else already has a choice, Congressman. Not that you've noticed. Heterosexuals have always had choices. They could choose anyone they wanted. 'Everyone else?' You privileged little straight boy, acting like some victimized Queen of Sheba. You have an ocean of choices. People like me have only just recently won the rights to pursue the relationships we want, legally. And now, I want to make that concrete. You, pulling your privileged, straight Habsburg-level-incest shit on us, is a threat to what my people have been dying over for years. If you truly care about that, then I urge you to submit that legislation to Congress. And if we start seeing credible research that declares that incest is a sexual orientation, or if some incestuous couple wins a court case that makes the argument that it is a sexual orientation, then you're in luck, my legislation covers nondiscrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. But for now, if you endanger my legislation or the LGBTQ rights movement...you'll come to find that the LGBTQ community of Chicago is stronger than your daddy's machine. And if you think that you'll find support from the suburbs of Joliet, you're going to have a rude awakening from those white, predominantly Christian suburbanites. Oh, I'm sorry, was that too Governor Williams for you? Let me rephrase that: you are already on record supporting incest, something that is neither legal, accepted, or popular. Maria Pena may be an asshole that wants to tear down my community's rights, but even she won't sacrifice her values in supporting you for long. And I've heard plenty of grumblings from within the Party about you. It is only a matter of time before someone thinks to themselves 'I can do a better job than him', and perhaps the Party might feel inclined to support that individual. But for now, I'll finish with this: if incest id truly your legislative passion, pursue it. But you're not dragging my folks down with you. That will be all, Congressman. I have to go to the floor now."

"Oh, no, you're not leaving just yet, tubby boy. Let's talk. First, let me laugh a little."

"Hahahahaha!" Jared laughed openly. "Hahahahhaha! Dying over it? Dying? someone has taken a few melodrama pills, haven't they? How many times did you storm the Supreme Court with guns blazing? Dying over it-someone's got an inflated sense of self-worth, or a really good skill of self-delusion!

But let's talk about you, because f*** you. Ooh, you've just finally got the right to legally pursue the relationships you want! Great! What's the first g**d**** thing you do? You decide to fight to keep it illegal for other people to pursue the relationships they want! You decide that its pretty fun playing the bigot, and you're going to play it all the way up to the hilt!

You're a phony Conti. There's one person in this room who's actually a real believer in social justice, and it isn't you! See me, I stood up for you to have your own f****** way, and I'll stand for those people to have there own f****** way too, because I'm not so stupid that I don't understand what equality means! You say I'm on record supporting something that's legally not allowed and unpopular? D*** right I am! And if you had any balls, you would too! You didn't have a problem with people standing up for your right to f*** a guy when that was legally not allowed and unpopular, but that's because you don't care about the movement, you only care about yourself and getting your own way. You don't believe in any kind of community! You get your own mansion and then bar the gates! You're exclusive, not inclusive, because you're a f****** coward.

Little piss-pants yellow coward. You don't have the balls, the guts, or the spine to stand up for something if its not popular. Not popular! You don't care about what's right, you care about what's popular! How big of a loser can you be? All that matters to you is you, and how popular the things you do are. You don't have any principles, and if you do, you're too pathetic to stand for them!

Your little buddy lost his election this year. Don't be surprised when you lose yours coming around. Because you, you think you're so tough? You're dangling from a little string. You think you can betray the movement without consequences? You can't. Because no matter how right-wing you want to get about illegalizing the sexualities you don't like, you can't escape this. Dragging you down with me? Oh no, *****i. You're falling to your doom, and I'm right here with a lifeline, and you're not grabbing on.

You're a loser and coward Conti. At least for that first one, come 2018, everyone's going to be able to see it."


O'Leary tosses the apple core on the floor and struts on out of the office, whistling.

Rhodes' Condo, Kalorama, Washington D.C., December 15

It was noon, and the Maryland Representative had just seen the news. And the Twitter storm. He was the first to tweet, and soon after. He planned. He remembered what happened to Nixon. And if no one else was going to do it, he will. He called the President's direct line. He waited patiently as he sat in a rather swanky chair, sipping a bottle of water.

Rod Johnson's House, Washington, DC


Rod is taking a personal day from work. He has spent the day watching television, and wrestling Mary.

But as usual, he is curious as to what is happening! He texts Donald Johnson:
