SNACKS - Hamburger and them beans.
DRINKS - Jasmine Tea
TOPICS - I don't think the repeal and replace is gonna make it through the Senate, at least not how it is. Honestly I think the republicans are ruining this turning point. They control everything, but yet it seems as though the party its self is it's biggest challenger.
BONUS- Nothing against PC, but I grew up on Play Station console and I just can't see my self playing on anything else.

Wasn't it the murder capital of Canada (nearly typed the world ay lmao) for quite some time?
You do realize that's Unf second region, no?
Jaslandia, Yukona
I stand with Unf.
We should really have a process to close down embassies rather than let the MoFA have total control over it.

I find it unsurprising that all of a sudden people are concerned about the MoFA having too much power in their position especially in regard to embassies now that Latrovia is MoFA.
I think it's because past MoFAs haven't used there powers to the extent of closing embassies without citizen voice. Domicilleum is Unf's region, and closing a fellow member's region's embassie just because isn't really a great way to start the MoFA position.
Now, I don't know what you think, but this isn't because we all have some vendetta against Lat. Remember what happened with Oel and GR? We got in an uproar against Oel because of that, as well. Since that's the case, this isn't a "Lat vs the world" scenario.

Nothing gets under my skin worse than when people try making blanket statements like "y'all don't know economics". Another is when people pull up some Breitbart article talking about something happening and say "It's *the Left's* fault".
Like, c'mon now, you're the one that plays partisan politics and says that anybody that doesn't believe in "Trickle-Down" don't have an iota of knowledge about economics.
Maybe you should get out of your bubble and quit b!tching and moaning?
Jaslandia, Magnatronia
I find it surprising that people didn't expect this. He tried to do the same thing when he was President. Now he has an elected mandate specifically for the Foreign Affairs portfolio and this course of action is a surprise?
It's just like when Ru was elected Chancellor. Building a CFN Empire was in his portfolio, but then everyone acted super astonished when he actually put his plan into action.
It's almost like history repeats itself.
Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Eh, not quite. There's a difference between grand vision campaign rhetoric and conscripting every citizen into an offensive military.
Lat has literally tried this before.
Exactly, when people voted for me for speaker I told them - I will take over the government and ban-ject everyone from the region, nowadays when I discuss my plan, people act really shocked and I don't get why :^(
I do think we all voted for Lat not because of his policies, but because of his experiance and "fame" within the region (or rather, his opponents lack thereof). It makes sense, and we've all done it before, so it isn't totally unprecedented.

Looking great
Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
To answer to all these comments regarding my name and all. I intent of using my MoFA powers and make our region strong in it's Foreign Affairs and diplomatic relations with other members. I am sorry if previous Ministers have let the region down, but I am not intending to do the same. Nor I am going to go easy on some people and hard on some others. Laws are laws, policies are policies and procedures will be procedures. Unf's second region, which I did not know that it was his region, really brought no benefit previously to our region to make me think otherwise. To me personally, I viewed Domicilum with a neutral eye and I did my job as a Minister making sure that our regional interests come first.
In my personal opinion the FA is not a place for everyone, it requires knowledge, time and tactic. If the region believes that I am not cut for the role, then I will gladly give my resignation and leave office. I am not intending to repeat my past as President nor I am going to have a fight with every person around here because their "personal feelings are hurt, whenever I do something".
In no matter what job position, expect no less than me doing my job, no matter how you might not or might like my actions in it. As I said, I am not going to repeat the past and I will be more than okay to give my resignation right now, just to silence some opinions that I am power-hungry or something.
As I said, what I am doing, I am doing it for us, for our region and how we will be perceived now and forever. If you don't want that, then I am really gonna leave the office, right now.
Andromitus, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
People voted for you and this is what they got. There's gonna be yuuuuge changes. Unfallious is raping this region. We're gonna build a wall and make Baxten pay it.
In all honesty, though, I'm pretty sure you ran without a manifesto or an outline of your policy and nobody bothered to ask - so to be honest, when people vote just on face value what do they expect?
Continental Commonwealths, Oelesa, Penguania And Antarctica
It's not that I haven't worked before as a MoFA, I have done every possible role this game has to offer. So people might have voted for me, just because I was older over here than my opponent. But I do take my job seriously and I want the best, thats all.
Penguania And Antarctica
^That was basically my point. The second paragraph, that is. But I do like the idea of Baxten footing the bill for things.

Welcome to the region, Jeffersonian States of America! My name's Percy, King of Percyton and the #6 green engine on the Island of Sodor. I hope you enjoy it here!
Andromitus, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
I don't really know about your extensive resume, nor did I vote for you (sorry, love u lots), but my point is you didn't run with a manifesto or something saying what you were going to do. You do you, ain't your fault, it wasn't a rule - my point is, nobody bothered to ask what you were gonna do, and this is what we got. If people actually asked about what you intended to do when in office and actually expressed concern or interest, maybe they might of voted for you (if they hadn't) or not (if they did). See my point?
Well I hadn't a manifesto/ program either.
Well many did not run with a program or something :P
Penguania And Antarctica
Considering I literally got here yesterday, can anyone tell me what's going on with the whole politics conflict here?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Magnatronia
No, and that's fine. People voted for you based on their past experience with you. Which is why it would be funny if people all of a sudden had an issue with the way you process citizenship applications. Because theh've experienced you in office, re-elected you to office, and therefore know what to expect of you
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
You keep seeming to think I'm sh*ting on you - personally, I don't care whether you did or did not, I voted for who I voted for, I ain't complaining. My point is, you did not run with a manifesto, people voted for you, didn't ask what your policies are and they complain. The same goes for anyone else.
Continental Commonwealths
People voted for Lat for foreign minister, he got in, proceeded to close almost all our embassies - even those he was told not to (I think) - except the ones he deemed important, people complain, he doesn't stop the closure. That's entirely simplified but that's the basis of it.
Got it, gracias.
Jaslandia, Yukona
But how do they know how am I processing citizen apps if they already were citizens and therefore didn't know how I process them ?
Keine problemo my amico
But I think the embassy closure with the one region people really had an issue with has already been reversed by the President, so it's all already moot.
