Washington 2017 Political RP [CLOSED] OOC Pt. VII

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

Overstein's blue slip for Wright

I object to this appointment of Gov. Wright to the position of Secretary of Energy. Throughout his tenure as Governor of North Carolina Governor Wright has never focused on energy. Furthermore, the recent foundation and subsequent dismantling of the National Agrarian Unity by Gov. Wright should be evidence that the Governor in my opinion is not capable of executing the duties of Secretary of Energy. This awesome duty also entails the management of this nation's nuclear weapons, something that due to Gov. Wright's recent behavior I would not trust him to do.

This is purely hypothetical of course

[Dentali]

Im sorry but its bringing my issues to the forefront, I want to avoid this more than anything else right now and I see the two as very related.

Fowler is not you, and self-inserts are highly frowned upon

I know he is not me, and he is not at all a self insert but I cant help the situation is making me reflective

[Argentarino]

If I may? If you need to take a break from this RP to take care of yourself, I think we'd all agree that that's okay. Your welfare comes first. I would encourage you to take a break, and then come back. You can't let one incident in this RP define your experience. Fowler is a great addition to this RP. But take care of yourself first. Do what you gotta do, but please come back.

Great Wright is gonna be the Betsy DeVos of this RP.

No i'm fine 99% of the time, I appreciate the concern this is literally the 1 situation id have a personal issue with

[Tallahassee News Station]

I mean, right now the worst-case scenario is that Stafford exaggerates something that Fowler did do, hurts her own credibility in the accusation somewhat, and doesn't press charges. That's not really that bad.

[Tallahassee News Station]

This deeply saddens me, but let us keep this out of the RP, shall we?

This is a very different circumstance than endemic physical abuse that plagues this country, it is a scuffle between two Senators. Let's keep this from being personal if possible.

Not to say your issues do not matter. Lord knows we all have them. They certainly are important, but this is not the place to discuss them.

Im sorry but its bringing my issues to the forefront, I want to avoid this more than anything else right now and I see the two as very related.

Well then its pretty simple, we just move on from where we are. She's not pressing charges, and it'll be in the past soon enough

Its more principle for me, look I won't leave the RP but I don't want Xath to randomly pull this shit its not fair and doesnt give me a chance to react in a fair time frame. Plus I have very real concerns Stafford might doctor footage or something

Short Bio (1 to 2 paragraphs):
Attorney General John Francis Capulet was born on July 25, 1949, to a retired Navy Commander, David Capulet, and a Boeing worker, Beatrice Walters. In his youth, Capulet was highly intelligent and very determined, learning how to read at age 3. He advanced quickly in his early youth, and quickly took an interest in law. His proficiency at very basic law at the age of 15 was due, in part, to friends of the family who were lawyers. Capulet made up his mind, deciding he wanted to be a lawyer. His mom fully supported him, but his dad wanted him to join the Navy, leading in riffs in the family.

Capulet though he could have the best of both worlds. At age 19, Capulet went to Harvard (not the law school), and got a four year degree. Upon completion, he enlisted in the Navy, and received the rank of Ensign, due to his degree. He served in the Judge Advocate General Corps for 30 years, making a name for himself prosecuting criminal cases at naval bases across the world. He began to rapidly make a name for himself, and seemed to peek as a moderately known JAG corps member. In the 1990s, he helped with the Tailhook Scandal, making a massive name for himself again, though not in a good way. Capulet was harshly criticized for his perusal of charges and punishments due to the requested punishments being too strict. However, he proved that all press can be good press as, in 2001, he became the Judge Advocate General of the Navy, a Vice Admiral. He served in that capacity for 4 years, making his mark in pushing for more female JAGs.

After his retirement in 2005, he was immediately tapped by President Shrub to be the U.S. Attorney for the District of Colombia. Here, he cracked down on corruption, going hard against politicians who seemed to be receiving kickbacks and political favors, earning him many enemies on both sides of the aisle. He also cracked down on major organized crime rings in the D.C area who were operating on a federal level, which led to the take down of several gangs, once again making him a target. Again, his perusal of the harshest sentences possible in every situation drew ire from some politicians. This successful and robust work, however, led to his appointment as Solicitor General of the United States in 2009. In a surprising vote, Capulet passed his nomination 85-15, with 15 democratic Senators voting against due to his support for harsher sentences. Under President Winston, Capulet took on different task, representing the government before the Supreme Court. He issued several Amicus Curiae briefings during Obergefell v. Hogdes. He had one more step on his career. Attorney General. After the departure of the Attorney General in 2013, Capulet was nominate to fill the role and was confirmed, 70-30, Dissenters coming from the Democrat side who questioned his law methods during his time as a U.S Attorney and as Judge Advocate General and saw his nomination as appeasing the republicans.

It was pretty obviously planned and not random. Pro nixed the camera, so right now the only thing that was added was that Stafford said "no" to help. That's something so small that nothing should really change.

This is good

[Main Nation Ministry]

How would Johnson like to get kidnapped? I planned on Defunct going Lunch at the Gotham Cafe on witness while kidnapping Johnson, but I saw that as risky. All you need to know is Defunct got an accomplice to help him and that Defunct managed to steal the same police car of the cop he killed.

Fine by me.

It's your choice of how you want it to go down. You should write the first post of where Johnson is and Defunct can take it from there.

I don't want Fowler to have to deal with the bullshit at all. Ill wait for Xath and Pro to get back before moving on

Well, yeah, but that's not something you can change. If we're talking about actual direct problems, I don't see one

[Tallahassee News Station]

Has anyone actually celebrated Winston's death? Amaras just said he shouldn't get absolution

Because Xath has yet to edit his post regarding the video, I have not gotten a clear answer regarding Fowler's actions post incident, and overall I want a clear ruling from Pro

Well Xath can't edit, that's kinda the point.

So if the answer is just "Stafford refused the offer of help and had Fowler leave the office" we're all good? Because I'm 95% sure that's it.

[Main Nation Ministry]

I bet Jared is going to celebrate his death and demand that people dox his family.
If not, I don't see anyone else I know of who would want to celebrate his death.

Maybe Scotty.

I'm pretty sure you can't blue slip the cabinet

[Canton Empire]

TNS review Capulet please.

[Tallahassee News Station]

TNS review Capulet please.

Gah, I hate long typing and posts on the phone. All right

[Sanabel]

Why is Wallace investigating Denisevich...without reason?

[Dentali]

Because Xath has yet to edit his post regarding the video, I have not gotten a clear answer regarding Fowler's actions post incident, and overall I want a clear ruling from Pro

Well Xath can't edit, that's kinda the point.

So if the answer is just "Stafford refused the offer of help and had Fowler leave the office" we're all good? Because I'm 95% sure that's it.

If Stafford doesn't have video evidence then I can live with it, but I don't trust Xath not to pull this again in another 2 weeks... exactly like what happened last time
