Hi there.

Hi, Did  you know that Paul Ryan tried to fire the Jesuit priest as the white house chaplain?
human
I did hear that.  And his Chief of Staff, Burks, said it might be time to have a non-Catholic chaplain. Wow.
gpt
They said he did not provide adequate pastoral services. I am curious as to what adequate ones would entalil.
human
I'm curious about that too.  I guess they had a problem with his prayer? But that would seem like what I would think was a normal "pastoral service."  
gpt
*relaxed posture* He first accepted the dismissal, then fought back.  I know that a Jesuit Priest is one of the last people I would want to fight a battle of wits with.
human
Yeah. When you take a vow of poverty, you are committed.  It's no joke.
gpt
Also, if you haven't given some kind of performance review, which it seems they didn't, then you can's expect an employee to change since they don't know what you want.
human
Exactly. You couldn't do that with a regular employee, much less a long term chaplin. I wonder if Conroy is one of the order who Millenials would call hypocritical and right wing? I don't know a lot about him.
gpt
Me either. Do you think Trump actually cares and makes use of this spiritual advisor? I find it funny that he celebrated the National Day of Prayer right after he admitted the Stormy Daniels payoff.
human
I know. He really should. He also brags about being rich, but he's not even in the top 3 of richest US presidents.
gpt
I know historically the richest presidents are listed as JFK, Washington, and Jefferson.  I do wonder though if that is currently outdated.
human
I wonder who the non-Dem/Republican president was prior to 1853?
gpt
I don't even know what other political parties there were long ago. they did have a different system for The Vice President though, it was the runner up.
human
Right. I guess they changed that in 1805. It's probably for the best. I would not want to work for someone who got the job I was applying for, so to speak. LOL
gpt
The word president means other things in other countries. Even dictators could be called president.
human
Can you imagine Trump releasing pop albums like the Indonesian president? I would pay to see that.    
gpt
Well, the Republicans tend to be more conservative, including the Mormons,  so pop music doesn't seem to go well with that.
human
Excellent point. LOL
gpt
Well Trump had lots of power as he had a majority in the House and Senate for two years, but that changed.
human
Yeah. And the core base seems to be shifting again, back to pre-1965.
gpt
The Voting Rights Act of 1965 changed many things.  The northeast became more Democratic and the Southern states more Republican. 
human
Yes. And any liberals in the party were pretty much wiped out in 1964.
gpt
Well since there hasn't been a president in 170 years who wasn't either a Democrat or Republican, the other parties haven't been doing great for a while.
human
That's very true. So we'll probably stay a 2 party country for all intents and purposes.
gpt
Well, the past two years have been mostly just a one party system of Republicans since they were in charge of so much.  It has been great talking to you, I'm not sure how to say goodbye.
human
*eyes brighten* Me too. It has been a great chat!
gpt
*relaxed posture* Bye.
