Some people are just itching for violence...

At any rate, w/regards to the President's health question, Volker's got this week to sort out things with the Vice President to get the congressional leaders their meeting or the congressional plan rolls into action.

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.

Well, she was interfering with the President's paperwork...

...Also, if this week passes without the President signing the Relief Act, it'll be enacted without signature.

What are the odds the First Lady is an in Edith Wilson role?

Plus the whole Tawney-Eliza-Wolf meeting going on, but that can't really progress until Sana is less busy and able to return

As for an Edith Wilson like role, I mean I have left hints here and there that Eliza is kind of doing that right now, or least that's how Eliza herself views it, at least as much as she can given that she probably doesn't have the security clearance to do everything.

If I recall correctly the general consensus between myself and Sana was that Eliza has been taking a much larger role in the day to day operations of the White House since her Husband fell down that damn flight of stairs. I could be wrong though given that we didn't hammer every thing out and we're just kind of going with the flow of it. She's definitely been deciding who gets access to her Husband though, that point I remember us pretty much agreeing on.

Eliza has definitely thought about just straight up signing more than one of the bills that's made its way up to the White House, but forging his signature probably has a good chunk of legal consequences no one wants to deal with, plus like that just feels a bit too far because for some reason having your distant spouse die of brain cancer might make you feel rather sympathetic for them even if the relationship has been a bit of trainwreck since the 1990s

Like I said, Eliza doesn't want to deal with any legal consequences that might come up from it and I doubt any of us OOC want to either, add in her new found sympathy for her Husband and you get a First Lady who doesn't want to, if she really wanted to forge it she would've done it for the Weed Act

No one died, he was found with someone believed to be a male hooker and had to be revived after Overdosing on illicit drugs that were found at the scene.

I was reading an article about Mike Pence being in the closet because why not and there was a link for another article on the same site about Gillum coming out as Bi earlier today in his first public interview since entering rehab, as far as I can tell the escort was just having an overdose and has since recovered
