"What do you want the Dems to DO exactly?" is kicked dog behavior. Elected officials are not meant to do insider trading and occasionally give a 4/10 speech about civility. They are an expression of the values of those they represent, you're damn right I expect up to and including physical action.

I don't think a book's characters have to be "likeable" to be readable.

But so far *everyone* in the book i'm reading is a smarmy douche. For obvious cultural world building reasons that seem to be making A Point.

But jeez... make your Point while still making a good story.

Hell yes
Y'know admittedly I think if a foreign power invaded DC and kidnapped our heads of state and brought them to their country to stand trial for their crimes, I think most of us would think that would be pretty fuckin awesome

Outlined the next chunk of Twice Upon a Punk Show. So it's chugging along at a 'decent for me' speed.

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.
