      It was a coincidence that we were both naked and penetration occurred because of the fall, and continued for some time after.

          There are call buttons all over the capital, these buttons announce critical votes and do things like bring elevators faster. When I was a kid I used to push them all the time until someone saw me do it. I think that was behind his meaning.

            Well that would make more sense. Do the fire alarms resemble the other buttons that much? Seems like a design flaw.

            Also

            I used to push them all the time until someone saw me do it.

            LOL well played to your former self

              I’m sure you can understand that these buildings are old and a lot of systems have been put in place later. So it’s not like anything is standardized. I was more on the Senate side, so couldn’t tell about the House.

                That makes sense, but tbh it didn’t occur to me that, with the amount being spent on the military for instance, that someone hasn’t simply made sure that fire alarms in the US Capitol look like fire alarms, etc, so that you know for certain you’re calling for an elevator and not an evacuation.

                  Oh, I’m not supporting what the guy says, I’m just trying to explain it.

                  It could be that the call button and the fire alarm are quite close to each other. When the floor manager told him to hit the call button, he just made a mistake. Doesn’t necessarily have to be mischief. On the other hand, Dems were trying to buy time so they could find out what the Senate would do.

                    Oh, I get that, but if it is a case of mistaken button, I’d be curious to see what they look like, and know why someone hasn’t bothered to clear up that confusion. There has to be money in the budget for it. Buy one less F-35 this year and take care of that.
