Washington 2017: The U.S. Political Roleplay Pt. XII OOC

[Uttland]

Senator Donald Williamson-Texas The United Arthenian Federation
Representative Blake White Jr.-Illinois The United Arthenian Federation

I highly recommend someone take a Senator from Texas, that a major position

Ooh I’ll have to check his application and then I’ll TG

[Sanabel]

Which district does Blake White represent

[Uttland]

I wonder what a Gene Eric presidential library could hold

[Vaquas]

Mass shooting in El Paso.

[Uttland]

Mass shooting in El Paso.

How ‘lovely’ yet unsurprising, and we just had that garlic festival shooting a few days ago. What a hopeful prelude to the 2019-2020 school year.

Any motives? White nationalist like the garlic festival? Something else?

Edit: from the news it appears to have ended with multiple casualties by now. One suspect in custody.

White nationalism was allegedly the motive. Allegedly the guy wrote a manifesto in which he expressed his disgust towards the "Hispanic occupation of Texas" and praised the Christchurch shooter. Either way, white nationalism is a terrorist ideology that needs to be treated as such.

[Vaquas]

White Nationalism Manifesto seems to be confirmed.

[Vaquas]

Congresswoman Escobar says the number of casualties is “shocking”

No silly, it’s only terrorism(TM) if they’re brown, and if they are that’s the only thing we should mention and we should blame an entire people group for it! If they’re white, they’re lone wolves with mental issues with no underlying ideology we should worry about! /s

It’s well past the time we had this conversation. Two white nationalist terror attacks in the same week ffs. Genuinely should be a more of a concern than Islamic fundamentalism at this point.

[Uttland]

@Vaq we need Brooks to join the NM convo

I agree, as a Muslim myself

[Aureumterra]

Sorry for the inactivity, been too involved in Kremlin and other RPs, will try to get back in

[The United Artherian Federation]

Thanks. Do you want them?

I guess that depends on how permanent you think this is. If you're just taking a break even for a while like Mak we can hold them for you

Well, school starts in a bit, so I want to get a good footing before I start working on this. So maybe until October?

I wouldn't give them up in that case, they've been restful for a little while anyways

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

Have Shrub's tax cuts been made permanent in this timeline?

Everything before 2016 legislatively is identical except that the ACA rollout was smoother (and a few bits and pieces with character background bills but none of those have been too earthshaking)

[The World Capitalist Confederation]

I'm excited for the Washington 1969 RP, tbh.

Wait what

[Sanabel]

Hammitch is going to have a really tough time winning the primary against Kevin Snakes

[Dentali]

It is done, every county has been visited

[Vaquas]

Second mass shooting in 24 hours.

Dayton Ohio. Multiple fatalities.

Oh wow, now that is shocking. Any possibility of a connection?

[Vaquas]

We have no moral leadership in this nation.

I’m starting to wonder if this is a failing experiment.

I mean that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to issues with the US, really.

Having said that, there are people with a good approach to the problem, but they don't have the political power needed to solve the crisis.

We've been through worse.
