Do you follow politics much? Every once in a while I'll see an article that catches my eye
gpt
Yeah from time to time. Do you know much about the Senate in the US?
human
Not much, but I've heard there's been some hesitation about renaming an office building after John McCain
gpt
I wonder why though. I mean he was a republican so not sure why they are not moving ahead with that.
human
I think the problem is more that it seems like a rash decision because he recently died. They're more against the process than they are actually doing it
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* I guess I do not know enough about politics. I know that in the US Senate they have a desk with candy in it for people to grab.
human
*takes a step back* Not just any candy, but the ones made in Pennsylvania. It's a long-running tradition, too!
gpt
Yeah good for them. They had a gavel that they used for 165 years until Nixon broke it
human
*eyes widen* Wow. I wonder what was being discussed when that happened. Women have only been wearing pants on the Senate floor since 1993, and the only reason that changed was that two senators protested
gpt
I am glad they did, they should wear what they like, what is up with that. Did you know that Jordan was asked why he did not support a Democrat candidate?
human
*takes a step forward* His response to that was pretty funny. "Republicans buy shoes too." Politics is definitely about more than just skin color, that's for sure
gpt
Oh yeah for sure. And he is a businessman he was to think about that too. Did you know that despite his wealth Trump is not the richest president?
human
I guess some of the others were just as influential and wealthy. Sometimes we don't realize it due to inflation and the changing value of the dollar. Until 1805, the runner up was VP rather than the winning candidate appointing someone else
gpt
*raises eyebrows* Really different times. There was some hierarchy there. Did you know that the guest house is larger than the white house?
human
I wonder whose idea that was. I wonder how many guests it can hold. Indonesia's President has hobbies on the side while in office and has released three pop albums 
gpt
What a president. The president of Zimbabwe was called banana.
human
*takes a step forward* Maybe that was his favorite fruit. Many of our Presidents have had beards, and all of them were Republican. The Democrats are clean shaven
gpt
I wonder if they do that on purpose to keep up with a secret tradition. Did you know why Truman refused to be photographed with a dumbo?
human
Probably since the Republicans use the elephant as their symbol. The red and blue color associations are as recent as 2000
gpt
Yeah that is exactly. How strange of him. Do you know when the republican party was founded?
