Office of Senator Scott, President pro tempore

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Welcome to my office.  I'm taking a page from Yankee's book and will be using this thread to take any questions or comments, and I will also have a record of bills/amendments introduced as well as my voting record and floor statements.

Also following the good Senate PPT's tradition, there will be an office warming party at 8 PM.  Western cuisine such as wraps, burritos, tacos, and sushi will be served along with avocado.  Hipsters, get your guac on!

This should be mandatory by the way, but if we did that, half of the Senate and house would be perpetually vacant.

Press Release - Statement from the Office of Frémont Senator Scott

Tonight I have introduced legislation to appropriate funds to select agencies for the containment and development of necessary medical countermeasures and vaccines to respond to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, both nationally and internationally.  I have also submitted an inquiry as to the President's discretionary power to limit travel to and from the Republic of Atlasia.

It is essential that our government be fully prepared and equipped to address the international crisis we are currently facing.  I urge my constituents to make health-conscious decisions in the coming months, to refrain from working or attending classes at the sign of illness, and to seek medical attention if necessary.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Press Release - Statement on exit from Labor Party

After much consideration, I have made the decision to leave the Labor Party and register unaffiliated.  While it had not been my desire to leave the party over disagreements on a single issue, it has become clear to me that the party I had been affiliated with has embraced the sort of politics that I've long been opposed to throughout my time in the game.  Whether that be strict gun control measures or draconian regulations on tobacco, I cannot continue to affiliate with a party whose goals have become increasingly authoritarian on matters of what people do in their private lives.

After voting against the assault weapons ban, I was privately chastised by a prominent Labor member (who shall remain nameless) for publicly criticizing members of the party who refused to address objections to the measure or accept any type of compromise, despite me and two other senators working tirelessly to forge a consensus in the chamber.

While I wish to continue to have a positive relationship with members of the Labor Party, I refuse to be a member of any organization that seeks to silent dissent either publicly or privately.  I will continue to work with members of the House and Senate on common objectives to make our nation a fairer and more equitable place.

[Former President tack50]

Well, I am sad to see you (and PSOL I guess) leave the party over a relatively small disagreement

I already asked you in private and you answered but I will repeat my question again; why not leave for Peace?

It was your former party and there is a strong culture of cooperation between Labor and Peace; not to mention the fact that several officeholders are there (Leinad, Razze, Peebs for example).

Hell, why not even HCP's Law and Justice party, even if it is a meme?

Well, I hate saying this about my old party which I loved so much, but being in Peace isn't very different from being unaffiliated at this point.  It was formed at the start of the Second Korean War and has more or less served its purpose, IMO.  Now it really has no organization.

Also, I don't do meme parties.

But, my main reason for leaving Labor isn't so much the gun issue or the tobacco issue.  I mean, YE is in Labor despite being outspokenly pro-life and Jimmy disagrees with the left on a whole host of issues.  What I don't very much appreciate is being told what I am and not allowed to say publicly versus privately, whether it's criticizing the party or its members or whatever else.  If that's how a party wishes to operate, that's fine.  But in a liberal democracy, parties that take that attitude tend not to do very well.

[Pericles]

But you said you might leave Labor before the PM was sent?

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

But you said you might leave Labor before the PM was sent?

I was considering it.  The PM was the last straw for me.

[PSOL]

Senator Scott, would you say in your opinion that even though the Labor Party is claimed to be a big tent, a core group of runners have the ability to push or pull their agendas without consulting the rest of the party?

I would say there's less room for dissent in Labor than there is for, say, the Feds.  Or at least there's more defections from the Fed platform than in Labor.  That's why the ACP started, after all.

[windjammer]

Btw,
I would appreciate my PMs not to be publicly posted on discord. From a "libertarian", this is quite an infringement of the right of privacy to do that.

I don't understand the controversy seriously. Laborites should never attack publicly each others like you did. This is not some calls of autoritarianism, but a call of decency. If you're willing to trash your party, to leak personal convos to win a political argument it means you made the right call to leave.

And I made it a point of keeping your name anonymous.  So much for that now I guess.

When I registered with Labor, I never swore an oath not to ever criticize members of my own party or voice disagreements publicly.  If you have a problem with that, that's on you.

This is really ridiculous:
This is what you posted:

Their response:
Seriously, I'm not going to let anyone make explode the party that Griffin and I built for some petty nonsenses. And trashing the party like you are doing is going to make that happen.

So again, I will kindly ask you to make your concerns in private. Labor must show unity (by not attacking other party members) or it will deteriorate.

There is nothing anonymous in it. Anyone who has played this game for more than 5 minutes clearly identifies me. You are being very obnoxious.


Seriously, I'm not going to let you to portray me as the autoritarian I am usually but not in this case. The main problem isn't me trying to silence you, the problem is you not being able to accept people can hold different views than you without being an imbecile who doesn't understand anything about guns.

Dude.  I left your name out of it.  When people asked me who it was, I would not tell them.  But obviously it doesn't matter considering you've done a perfectly fine job making this a much bigger deal than it had to be.

And yet Labor never answered any of the objections that were raised against the bill.  That's on you guys.

Do stop embarrassing yourself like this, windjammer.  Personal fights about Atlasia are kinda retarded.

You left my name out of it but still everyone still knows it's me. There is no respect for my privacy at all. I had the decency to contact you in private about it and not wage a war publicly about your recent behavior.

You're trying to slander me to portray me as an oppressor that I am not. It is you who is making such a big deal for something that shouldn't. Many people are holding pro gun control views in the party, they are not some imbecile who don't understand anything about policies. Your failure to understand it is what made you leave.

This is kinda retarded but this is you who started it by attacking me both on discord and on this forum.

We'll have to agree to disagree about which side better understands gun issues, but regardless, I never attacked you in any way.  You hold a very prominent position in the Labor Party but you do not get to decide what its members can or cannot say publicly and privately.  If I wanted to attack you personally, I would have mentioned you by name.  I didn't.

Stop acting like a victim and move on already.

Labor party is a big family and conflicts between members must be settled in private. I fail to see how it is autoritarian.

Your main goal was to portray yourself as some victim of autoritarian vendetta. Whether or not you mentioned doesn't matter, you literally leaked my private convos when people can clearly identify me.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

A hearty THANK YOU to the people of Frémont for giving me my first unanimous electoral victory post-reset!

While it is not yet clear who's won every House seat or which party will control the chamber, I want to congratulate everyone who will be joining us in the next session. Let's strive for an active Congress that is held accountable to the people who elected us, and work together to solve the problems of working men and women throughout the nation. Let's guarantee housing as a right, beat this virus, and protect and expand our safety net for the benefit of all who've fallen in hard times.

On my part, I will never take my position for granted no matter what the electoral margins, and I will continue to be an ally, and a fighter, for the downtrodden, and for the forgotten men and women of this great country.

Statement on Events in Kansas
December 31st, 2020

I am very pleased that the terror uprising in Kansas has been suppressed, and that Governor Benson is safe with his family.

Regardless of where one another stood in the Kansas debate, we all agree that domestic terrorism is never acceptable in a civil democracy. Those involved in this plot must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Partial LOA. I'll try to make votes when they come up, but I don't have it in me to participate in debates much at this time.

The reason for this is I've finally hit the grieving stage of my recent loss and it's making me very ill, mentally as well as physically. I haven't been eating and I've been losing weight as a result. The loneliness is really starting to take its toll on me. I have no real desire to live at this point but I can't let me last act on this earth be one of hypocrisy, especially since most attempts fail and could leave me permanently disabled.

I have no way out of here. Lately all I really want to do is sleep.

I'll continue to stay in the Senate and as Ted's veep, but I need to slow things down.
