Previously on Washington 2017.
Congress goes through arguing.
Amaras ruins everything.
Society continues to be polarized.
And Spicy Latina gets beaten to a pulp with her life on the line.
Local 22 year old Diet Coke Addict College Student Ruins Everything

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.

The GOP really cannot afford to take a Reed veto right now, the entire thing is going to implode...

But then again so would sign it, just to a lesser degree.

I feel like Havich is the key. If he talks to Reed, Reed will veto, and if he doesn't, Reed will sign.

Would Havich actually want Reed to sign it though? If Reed signs it he has a lot more firepower for a coup.

Reed’s approval will take a huge hit if he signs it.

Reed is a very effective campaigner and has done well at getting his issues acted on. But he has zero sense of political timing. And that will ruin him.

It will take a huge hit if he vetoes it as well. It is a no win for Reed.

Care to elaborate? He could let it become law without his signature, or veto it without a veto message

He has spent all his political capital in his first two months in office. He, as well at the GOP as a whole, have to pace themselves while they have this congressional advantage or else the party will implode or Reed will not be re-elected. Pushing this many tough, divisive bills through Congress in such a short span of time has consequences.

Granted, it’s as much the Senate to blame as Reed, but Reed needs to take control and shift the focus to less controversial matters for awhile if he doesn’t want his approval to tank.

Reed will get rid of Havich by executing him with a nuke after a big scandal proving that not only Havich has NOT been to space, but also that the moon landings (all of them) were, in fact, fake.
