18. Thing is, I'm fine with that.

Some people aren't joiners, and if they aren't on the outside. They don't know what to do with themselves. I find it funny the protester never thought to see if Pelosi was against their demands. They just decided to protest at one of her offices. Not realizing she had previously stated she wanted the committee reinstated.
