Do you follow politics?
gpt
Good morning.  Yes, I follow politics a little.  What about you?
human
Only a bit myself. I didn't really know much about the us senate until recently
gpt
I do know that there are 2 senators from each state, regardless of its population.
human
Yes and they serve a staggering 6 years
gpt
Yeah, that seems like kind of a long time for them to serve.  From 1789 to 1913, they were appointed by legislatures of the states they represented.
human
It is a shame that nixon broke a part of history when he snapped the same gavel the us senate had been using for a century and a half
gpt
I know, leave it up to him to be the one that did that.  Add to his list of shame..lol
human
A fun fact about the senate is that they have a tradition of the candy desk
gpt
*laughs* I heard about that.  The senator that sits at a desk near the entrance keeps a desk drawer full of candy.  It's currently stocked with candy made in Pennsylvania.  
human
That is where the best candy is made from milky way to jellybeans
gpt
Amen to that. Did you know that the first president of Zimbabwe was called President Banana?  How odd is that?
human
How many bananas did he have to eat to earn that nickname?
gpt
Haha!   I read somewhere that the top three wealthiest presidents in US history were JFK, Washington, and Jefferson.  It's hard to believe the clintons or Trump didn't make that list?
human
Well he did go bankrupt on multiple occasions despite being old money and he did treat a lot of people poorly by using junk bonds
gpt
*takes a step forward* I take it you are not a MAGA fan, then?  Lol 
human
What is MAGA?
gpt
Trump's tag line, Make America Great Again!  Anyway, on a side note, I find it interesting that women weren't allowed to wear pants on the US senate floor until 1993. 
human
If it takes a wall that won't accomplish anything to make america "great again" ya I am not for MAGA
gpt
*eyes widen* Settle down, Hoss.  Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. No offense meant.
human
Don't worry I tend to tune most things lately, but I was really sad the only candidates will hillary and trump. I can only imagine what would happen if we kept the tradition that the runner up automatically becomes VP. I'm glad we no longer do though
gpt
Me too, Hillary and Trump would have been a total civil war for sure, if they had to govern together.  Well, it's been nice chatting with you this morning.  I need to walk my dog, talk to you later, friend.
