She’s kind of amazing. She elevates shit material - look at Cinderella and Mama Mia 2. Hammer does absolutely nothing for me, but I’ll watch this just because of James.

When Lily James first joined the cast of “Downton Abbey” I thought her character was incredibly irritating but

As for Lily James, I haven’t seen her in anything before, which is exactly what the role requires.

This is congress, not a job at Hardees. She has to have time to hire staff, learn the regs, get her bearings. Working as a Rep isn’t just saying yes or no to legislation. Right now however, congress is designed for rich people (actually it’s always been designed for rich white males, but that is a different…

To begin preparing for and transitioning into the job, hiring a staff, etc. I wouldn’t want my newly elected Congressperson to just show up the day they are to be sworn in without having done anything to prepare.
