The Equestrian Military will begin withdrawal effective immediately, and the pullout is currently expected to take around two-three weeks due to the large force that has been deployed. The treaty is being examined by our Department of Defense, but will be signed within the next few hours.

They told me it was a good idea to pull out. I said I don't like that - I don't like that, I want to be back in. OK. I want to make America Great Again, right, so don't you worry - we will not lose anymore jobs to being outside of NAFTA. 3,459 days in office and I've already got America back in NAFTA. I've not even started yet that's the easy one.

A president cannot serve for 3,459 days. That's over nine years. A president can only serve two terms, which is eight years.

A president can serve for almost 10 years. If they are the vice president and the current president dies a day past halfway through the term the vp will finish the term and can run for reelection twice, therefore serving for over nine years.

As a keen advocate of Romanticism, especially English Romanticism, William Blake is one of my most favourite and beloved poets, I'm very glad to see him on the QotD.

"The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself".

As a literal tree hugger, I couldn't have said it myself better.

On the other hand, because of how California is, for some state-wide races, it's just two Democrats running against each other with no Republicans. That seems unnecessary, could cause needless party divisions, and would likely annoy the state's Republican voters.

I highly doubt that. Some of California's more conservative Democrats, such as Jerry Brown, have been a part of the party long before it became a Democratic safe state.

Gualimole wrote:It's a reflection of the electoral politics of the state. We're no swing state.

No, you're not a swing state, but you have a bunch of Republicans in the interior region and areas outside the big cities. It's mainly places like LA and San Francisco that make the state so solidly Democratic.

His record was never formally documented, and it wasn't formally acknowledged by his railway the Great Western Railway until years later. The first steam engine to actually be documented going at 100 mph was in fact my brother, the world-famous Flying Scotsman.

Duck: Yes, of course he is. /sarcasm You're just jealous because my GWR beat you and Scotsman's LNER to the 100 mph record. Subsequent tests and analyses have shown it was very much possible for Truro to hit 100 when he did, and the only reason the GWR didn't publicise that was because they thought it would conflict with their emphasis on safety. Besides, I saw City of Truro when he visited Sodor many years ago, and he was very nice. Me and the other engines (except you) talked to him for hours! He certainly didn't seem like the type of engine to lie.

The government really should have grown a spine and told the public that the referendum was advisory, and that under the UK constitution, Parliament must have the final say because of parliamentary sovereignty. It would have been unpopular but it would have been right. The truth is, even the Tory Remainers in the party are happy about Brexit because it means they can push through all the laws that will get rid of "red tape" and "regulations."

No, WA is required to prevent silly double-nation accounts from taking two different territories.

Yes, no ´´slavery´´ those people working on the cotton gulags are there out of their own ´´free´´ will without being forced into it by a communist premier right.....

Well... Most of those in the gulags were either prisoners of war, murderers, gang members, and the occasional transfers from out of state. We don't have privatized prisons, so this was essentially 'prison'. Ever since the Empire dissolved into the Union, we've generally dismantled the Gulag System save for a few for the nation's worst criminals.

Good Afternoon Comrades!

Here's a quick little update of some of the happenings regarding the Equestrian Union.

(While I'm on break at work)

___________________________________

First, I am proud to announce the completion of the Siberian Star Ballpark located off of Highway 17, home of the Mustangs, who are situated in our beautiful capital city of Mareskov. The newly-built stadium will play host to the upcoming game against the Confederal States Nationals. Tickets are 50 EQD for locals and 60 for out-of-country.

Secondly, the Equestrian Red Army is nearly out of SpanelskoSpanels, thanks in part to our decision to mostly evac by sea and air.

Third, and lastly, I hope your all having a wonderful day!

(FUN FACT)

The Siberian Star is a massive park with enough seats to accommodate around 150,000 fans. Vendors ranging from fast food to upper class fare, a massive team gift shop, a statue of Aleksander out in centerfield, and the visitors dugout is customised according to their home field.
