*raises eyebrows* I recently heard that there are three subway lines used exclusively for members of Congress to move between the Capitol building and their House or Senate office. Crazy!
gpt
*lips slightly parted* Yes. They get many perks
human
I wonder if they have to wait as long as regular people do, or if the lines are ever down. LOL!
gpt
I would think they are running smoothly. 
human
*eyes widen* There is so much random information available these days. I recently heard that the first woman was elected to Congress in 1916 - before she could even vote in the election! We have come a long way!
gpt
*takes a step back* yes women have overcome much in the past  hundred years.

Staying on the topic of random information. I just saw that when Harry Truman was president, he went to Disneyland. While there, he refused to have his picture taken on the Dumbo ride so he wouldn't be associated with Republicans. Truth is definitely stranger than fiction!
gpt
*takes a step back* Yes he was worried
human
Related to Republicans, do you think Congress will take any action on gun control, now that the Houses are split? It will be interesting to see if the Democrat controlled House will have any pull.
gpt
*laughs* They wont be able to get past the senate
human
Probably not. It seems that the GOP and the NRA are in lockstep.
gpt
*hands tremble* Its been that way for many years.
human
True. And apparently legislation is the only way to accomplish real change. The Justice Department does not have the legal authority to do anything. 
gpt
*curls lip* to get anything done on guns you will need three branches controlled by Democrats
human
*eyes downcast* Quite possibly. Meanwhile we continue to have mass shootings every couple of months. I'm not sure if the answer is gun control, mental health policy, or both, but we need to do something!
gpt
*clenches fists* It wont get done anytime soon, unfortunately. 
human
*shoulders droop* Probably not. At least not as long as we let the get away with stalling via "debate".  Apparently even the NRA is in favor of banning bump stocks, but we still can't get this through Congress. Sad state of affairs.
gpt
Too much money involved
human
That's a whole other can of worms. LOL. PAC money and special interests have so much control. Foreign countries, too, apparently.
gpt
everyone has their hand in the cookie jar
human
*tenses body* Yeah, and nothing changes. Politicians sit around collecting pay checks, perks, and pensions, while spending tax payers' money. It's a very sad state of affairs.
gpt
*backs away* People have to keep voting them out when they do the wrong thing
