I think he's stayed pretty steady throughout the whole. Independent Judiciary, spend fewer resources on less important things, root out corruption (actually one of the FBI's 10 most important tasks), enforce every law everywhere, answer to Congressional Oversight and the Attorney General only.


Vowing never to meet with the Prez solo is a pretty big deal

Well he also said in that same lien that he would never meet with the President alone, but he would meet with the president if requested by the Attorney General. Because of the chain of command.

Double win for Alphonsey.

If Fitch gets through, he gets someone who promised to tackle corruption and could potentially take on Williams.

If Fitch fails thanks to the question Alphonsey asked, this is an embarrassment for Reed.

Anyways, anyone catching up on the 2018 midterms IRL? Personally, when it comes to Democrats, the question its not if they lose any senators, but how many. Heitkamp and McCaskill are definitely out when election time comes

Democrats could end up with a net-gain, however, which is the most important to them, as an entity.

Governor Williams seems to be the most dangerous character to mention, and Sippi the most dangerous state.

They would have to hold their seats in Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, ND, and Montana which could be hard, while picking up a seat in Nevada and/or Arizona. It's possible but I think it is unlikely.

Their only chance to really gain is in Nevada and Arizona, but they'll have to defend in North Dakota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Indiana and Ohio

I forgot about Ohio. Sherrod Brown is pretty popular though.

Given all that's been happening, momentum is very much on the side of the Democrats - and when combined with the fact that mid-term history suggests the Republicans are already at a disadvantage, one can see it to be a very plausible scenario.

I would argue that there are going to be more battleground states than just Nevada and Arizona. Perhaps a surprising state or two, at that.

This confirmation hearing is not going well. I feel like McGareth is stretching things here though and seems to be going a bit overboard or is intentionally misunderstanding. To what end I do not know.

Quote of the Week: "A NEW STORY ON WRITING THREAD FOR HALLOWEEN!! MYSTERY MINE AVAILABLE NOW!"

RPs I do
- How do you do fellow kids? You want to see something violent? - Artemis: Deimos Trafficking League (Horror/Mature)
- Descend into the forgotten tourist traps of Florida on this transgressive RP! - The Community (Mature/Black Comedy/Slice-of-Life)

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn. It's basically if the SCP Foundation got mixed with 1984.

That went a little hay wire. I really hope Fitch gets through. I tried to answer the questions the best I could. I think his record as an independent investigator should speak volumes itself.
