I’m trying and failing to remember the names here but I remember the Chapos or somebody who found this article about how some of the congress critters live in DC. Some of them, 3 or 4 iirc, were all renting rooms in this big house. The article went on to detail how it was a total bachelor pad/hot couch guy situation and in the freezer were a bunch of salmon gifted to them by one of the Alaska senators or something.

Reading the article is like if you turned this reaction: hillary-apartment into a few thousand words of text

Pretty sure it was Mitt Romney?

Wasn't one of them Chuck Schumer?

I might be misremembering it but weren't they cooking it in some incredibly fucked way too? Like they microwaved or boiled it or something

People are mixing up two things. Mitt Romney had a freezer full of salmon filets donated by Lisa Murkowski that he put on hamburger buns and slathered in ketchup https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/mitt-romney-salmon-senate-murkowski-b2412264.html And up until 2014, Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin (and some other Dem senators) lived together in a house they jokingly called "Omega House" like a frat. https://www.cnn.com/2013/12/04/politics/real-alpha-house

oh that's too bad. they all seem like frat bros. is there a reason they stopped living in a congressional frat house or did they just realize they're all old as fuck now?
