Do you follow the US Senate at all?
gpt
I did the Kavanaugh stuff. Did you?
human
I heard a few things. I don't know who else should have gotten the job. I think other justices will get replaced during Trump's time.
gpt
I think you are right. the whole thing seemed very weird to me.
human
Politics sure is a funny business. I've heard that they have a candy desk in the Senate. 
gpt
a desk full of candy? I felt bad for both Kavanaugh and ford.
human
*raises eyebrows* I don't think there's a good way to handle these conflicts, but that hearing was certainly a bad way. I hope the next candidate isn't as controversial.
gpt
me too. Could you imagine having to dredge up what you might have done 36 years ago?
human
I think it just becomes "he said, she said," and the perception depends so much on the current climate.

True. Michael jordan was once asked why he wouldn't endorse black democratic candidate harvey gantt in a north carolina senate race, to which michael jordan responded, "republicans buy shoes too".
human
As if Michael weren't making enough money already. But I guess he needed more.

Anything for a little more! I had no idea about this..Fred rogers is credited with the continued funding of pbs after he presented a passionate argument in front of the us senate in may, 1969. this allowed healthy child development shows like 'mr. rogers neighborhood' to be fully funded, along with the rest of pbs programming.

I saw that footage! The guy was amazing in front of the Senate. He was so credible. He could never survive in politics, though. Too honest.
gpt
I loved watching him as a kid. I'm sure a lot of us did. I might have to look the footage up.
human
Yeah, there's a film called Won't You Be My Neighbor. Worth watching. He was an interesting guy during tough social changes in the US
gpt
I'll watch that, thank you! Senator strom thurmond holds the record for the longest filibuster by a lone senator. he stayed on the senate floor speaking for 24 hours and 18 minutes nonstop
human
I guess he prepared very carefully for that filibuster. 
gpt
*takes a step forward* Oh my lord! I coldn't even imagine. I wonder what he was fighting for?
human
Filibusters are to stop something, so he probably wanted to prevent a tax increase or more funding to social security.

Very interesting! The only us president to have a phd is woodrow wilson
