Anyways, have a great day.

The Romneying (Pt. 1)

The first image is when Romney won in 1968, and got 43.0% of the popular vote, while Humphrey got 42.7%, and Wallace got 13.8%.

The rest, are scenarios depending on what Romney did during his first term.

1. The McGovernment - Romney basically attempted to leave Vietnam from 1970-1971 but John K. Singlaub kept 40% of the forces there, and McGovern was mad, and also, Romney obstructed ab***** to the max, and lowered taxes. Also, take note, Wallace does run under the A.I.P. in most of these.

2. Scrappy Sam - Romney basically tried to just ignore Vietnam but only got 20% of the men out of there, and bombed a lot of Laos, to try and keep the Monarchist regime in power. Also, he lowered taxes and obstructed ab***** to the max. He also got substantially more center-leaning. Also, take note, McCarthy does run as a New! Party Nominee in some of these.

3. Hawaiians Hopeless - Romney basically did spectacular, he got out of Vietnam in 1971, but didn't stop bombing, increased Social Security Funding, but did lower Healthcare spending, and improved schools a little. He still obstructed ab***** to the max. Also, take note, Pete McCloskey does run as a Peace & Freedom Nominee in some of these. Also, McCloskey got 1 faithless elector from Massachusetts.

4. The Newest Failure In Washington - Romney basically criticized Congress, didn't get out of Vietnam but did get 30% of the troops back home, and also obstructed ab***** to the max. Also, told ya' Wallace appeared a lot, and he'll appear more in part 2.

See ya'.

1988 Progressive Republican Primaries (Round 3, Wallace Country)

Before I begin, I would like to say I am sorry about the long delay. I have been doing other things on other subreddits and just other things in general. Anyways, I finally have the time to do it again, so here it is.

After the crazy first round, it was obvious that Rummy wasn't going to make it, so he dropped out, and endorsed George H. W. Bush. Pete du Pont also dropped out and endorsed Bush. Rogers did have the most delegates at the end of the first round, so it may be in his favor, or the tides could switch up.

Potatoe: The Consequences of A Comebacker

After everything, Wesley "Let's Go Wes!" Clark won the nomination*, it was tooth and nail, scrap and bone, but he clinched it from the* jaws of Howard Dean.

Quayle easily won re-nomination, only facing a nobody; Roy Moore, who only only won the Primary in Missisippi, (48.2732% - 48.2714%) but by the roll call, all of his delegates in the convention switched their votes to Quayle, except 2.

And Ventura, The Body, decided to run. "Well, I am going to say this right now. Quayle is polling at 78% at the lowest in the Republican Primaries, and the R.N.C. would never let me win! The Democrats, though, they are too one side or the other, not for the people. So I am announcing my run for the Reform Nomination!"

He won it.

Lieberman announced he wouldn't run, endorsing Clark, and Dean did too. Moore endorsed Ventura.

Meanwhile, let's check out the World as a-

Oh.

"Quayle lowers taxes, and gives more federal funding to Social Security, increases Military Spending but decreases Healthcare Spending."

"Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court gets Same [you know] Marriage passed, but Legislature strikes it down by 1 vote in historic battle, which many [supporters] boo and protest outside of the building."

"Who is running for the 2009 Iraqi Presidential Election, and is Quayle doing anything about Iraq?"

"Yunus Qanuni wins the 2004 Afghan Presidential Election under Naveen."

"S.B.Y. wins against Wiranto in the 2004 Indonesian Presidential Election's 2nd Round, with over 55% of the vote!"

However, for the thing you've been waiting for, the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election's Popular Vote:

Quayle won, 44.32%, while Clark got 41.04%, and Ventura got 12.51%.

In 2005, John Roberts replaced William Rehnquist, and that's really it, but at least the U.S. literacy rate went up by 2% under the effect of the "No Learner Left Astray" Bills by Quayle himself. He also got Congress to extend the 30% tax cut until 2010.

In 2006, the U.S. Economy was somewhat falling down, Samuel Alito Jr. was put in place after Sandra D. O'Connors retired. Also, Richard B. Cheney, who had been the Secretary of War (re-established September 2001, but only advised the war in Afghanistan, and tried to convince Quayle to invade Iran or Iraq, but Quayle never did anything about it), since September 2001 was hospitalized for shortness of breath, and was hospitalized for 4 days. Disney decided to back out of buying Pixar, and Borat was really popular. And finally, the Senate went Republican, but lost the House.

In 2007, Cheney was replaced by Jim Nicholson, for Secretary of War. Also the economy just kept going into a nose dive... And the Republican, Democratic, and Reform Primaries were heating up.

Thy Brigham Bull: Subsequent Article

Here's the Interview with u/RatPotPiester, so please give a good applause for them for being on the article!

"Hello, I’m RatPotPie. I’m the Chief Judge of Alexandria, and a long time Politician who has previously served as a member of Parliament, and as Alexandria’s Governor. I am a Democratic Socialist, who strongly values Equality, Liberty, and Democracy." - u/RatPotPiester

"Okay, thank you for introducing yourself to our audience. Now, what do you think about the current situation of the D.O.R.?" - u/Edmund_Jackson_Davis

"After three terms of conservative control, the Communist Party won the largest parliamentary victory in DOR history, more organized and united than before, the Left has a large opportunity to improve quality of life, and build a Socialist economic system in the DOR. Under Stella’s leadership as the president, I believe in the large possibilities we have, and in a brighter future ahead." - u/RatPotPiester

"Thank you for your very well constructed response I must say, now, what do you think about the situation in Eosara, as it is the main thing as of now." - u/Edmund_Jackson_Davis

"Honestly, I don’t know very much. As a provincial judge, my authority does not extend to other provinces. However, I applaud the federal governments efforts in fighting corruption, and hope a fair trial can be provided to the accused. This is a somewhat unprecedented case, and I’m confident in the Supreme Court to provide a fair outcome, while the federal government maintains stability in the troubled province." - u/RatPotPiester

"And before you go, a closing statement to our audience?" - u/Edmund_Jackson_Davis

"Thank you for reading my interview, I’m RatPotPie, Chief Judge of Alexandria. Elected to my second term just a few days ago, I am committed to fighting corruption and maintaining the law.
As a bird of our time, Zohran Mamdani said, “Safety and Justice will go hand in hand.

I will continue working hard to make Alexandria a better, safer, more just place for all." - u/RatPotPiester

"Well that was fun, thank you u/RatPotPiester for being on the newspaper! Anyways, see y'all again tomorrow, or sometime, or some day, you know I'll find out. We'll find out. ;)

See y'all soon, next time on Thy Brigham Bull."

Potatoe: Beginnings

The 2000 U.S. Presidential Election, where former Vice President J. Danforth Quayle won against Vice President Albert Gore Junior in an unexpected victory, but lost the popular vote, 48.0% (Gore) - 47.7% (Quayle).

--- Quayle's 1st Term ---

J. Danforth Quayle, had just won. His Vice President, John C. Danforth, was expected to be more of a "shadow president", regarding Quayle's previous reputation. However, one day changed everything. And that was [you know, that infamous day, which we hold memorials every year, and remember]...

In 2002, Quayle ordered the "War for Security!"

He invaded Afghanistan. It was, surprisingly quite successful, yet, there was still problems, still bad things that could happen to America. However, most people thought this was a fine thing, and in late 2003, the U.S. won in Afghanistan. Also the Republicans ousted Dennis for Armey, and won the Senate, and Ted Stevens stole the leadership from Lott, so basically the Republicans won both Congress and Senate. Also, Jesse Ventura won his re-election campaign for Governor.

--- 2004 ---

President J. Danforth Quayle had experienced the early 2000s for what everyone remembers, the fall, the wars, the peace, and the stability. His popularity went up to 80% in 2001 but steadily fell and is now only at 57%, which is still surprising, because it is Quayle himself.

On the Democratic Side, you had people like Wesley "Let's Go Wes!" Clark, Howard "RAHH!" Dean, and even Joseph "Cheney's Favorite D.I.N.O." I. Lieberman.

And for the third parties, well, you have Governor Jesse Ventura under the Independence Party / Reform Party, who picked George D. Weber for his Vice Presidential Nominee, and if Lieberman loses the nomination, he might pull a, "America for Lieberman".

My Very Own Deseret

As I looked outside of the Federal Office, I was glancing as they raised the new flag, the flag of Brigham, the flag of our L.D.S. Church, the flag of our city, which we chose to be the flag.

"Doesn't that just look great, Garrett?" Garrett, my waiter, assistant, and the owner of the Garrett Good Motel, turned around from the doorway, and stated, "It's great, indeed, Bishop Edmund. I know that this was always meant to happen, it was something destined for our people, one way or another."

I nodded my head, and grinned. "This is what Brigham himself would've wanted. He and Joseph Smith Junior, what a man, may they rest in peace, in Heaven, wanted for us, our people, us Mormons, our own place. They just had to wait. Wait long enough for us to finally succeed, but we had to go through trials, but in the end, it was all worth it."

"It's nice that the Liberty! League H.Q. is also part of this building, and the Brigham Bull H.Q. is right next door, since our Church, which is an astonishing 253,016 feet, it's so big that we had to do this, but you know why that Church is so big?" "I do, Edmund." "It's because that's how much we care, we care, so very much, and we, Mormons, deserve it, for their hard work, and ours, for truly getting us into the light, Garrett. I, thank you, Brigham Young, and I, thank you, Joseph Smith Junior. That is why it's that big, and why this is a conglomerate, Garrett. It's truly good, that we include the Federal Office for Brigham, Eosara, the Liberty! League H.Q., and the Brigham Bull H.Q. All in the same space. So, we could have a bigger one, for our Church."

"Couldn't have said it better, Bishop Edmund." Garrett said, with a smile on his face.

It was now the Mormon Era, the Era of Deseret.

Thy Brigham Bull: Release

"Here's the Interview about the situation with u/cheesesprite, and I do want to thank him for being on here, so let's give a big round of applause!"

Anyways, here it is:

"The newly created [left-wing] politburo, in league with Chief Justice Viktor Chernov, has embarked on a reign of terror to purge Eosara, of dissidents. First, they arrested the Governor, Challenger, and his Deputy, Sea-Refrigerator. Then, Eepy Stella installed the very man who authorized their arrest, Viktor, as the Federal Commissioner of Eosara. He has since been replaced by Shrew. Further, two Eosaran Supreme Court Judges have been removed from power without following the proper procedures in the Constitution. Chance has been arrested on Viktor's orders and Minecraft forced into hiding. Duck, another dissident, was also arrested. I am quite confident that the [left-wing] will not stop here. They will not rest until every [person] and child in Doria bows to their will or is eliminated." - u/cheesesprite

"Well, thanks for telling us about that, u/cheesesprite. Now, I would like to say, what is your closing statement, your final words before the readers scroll away?" - u/Edmund_Jackson_Davis

"Wait, I'm thinking." - u/cheesesprite

He never did finish that thought, that thought which will stick with him forever, even after he ended the call.

Laws of Brigham, Eosara

As I looked at his photo, I glanced at his face. "He looks, like he knows its the end. He's accomplished everything he could, did the very best. Now, I have to do this for him, and for Joseph Smith."

I look at my waiter, and friend, Garrett, who was enjoying the moment, in the slightest amount, "Well, Mr. Mayor-" "Just call me Bishop Edmund, you know this..." "Sorry, Bishop Edmund..." He laughed.

"I have to make the newest laws for Brigham, Eosara," And as I said that, I walked outside onto the podium which thousands of Mormons were standing, filming, all that.

"Hello, fellow Mormons, as Bishop Edmund Jackson Davis and your Mayor, I have come here, to say that there will only be 2 taxes in Brigham. The Wealthy Tax (includes Corporations) and the Land Value Tax, which you know, is Georgism. I would like to also say that polygamy is legal, here and here only!"

And the crowd roared; cheered, in happiness.

I knew that this was the beginning of a new era for us Mormons, the Brighamite Era.

Me and My Refugees

"Boys, we did it. We got to Roosevelt, Eosara. We're official citizens now. We made it, official protection under Eosaran law..." I said, to 3 Mormons who had been following me. The other 84 were on their separate paths, but they will regroup soon with us in ~40 hours or so.

I turn to Garrett, who had been a great friend along the journey. "You doing fine, Garrett?"

"Yup, just a little scared, and worried." Which was a truly fair response since, Fruit had just been here we got here, it has been pretty scary.

However, after about 30 minutes of walking, we made it to u/Sea-Refrigerator5748's office, which he had been expecting.

"Hello, Deputy, it's nice to be in Roosevelt, for a change. I mean, I was just in the wilderness for a while, you know?" I laughed, expecting a good chuckle.

"Well, we do need more Eosarans here, it seems like everyday, they just *poof* and then, they disappear, but besides that, welcome to Eosara, as an official citizen."

"Well, thanks for letting us come." I point to Garrett, and my 2 disciples. "We accept your great; gift that you have given us the pleasure to hold... Now, I was wondering, about something that I've tried before... I was wondering if I could establish a city in Eosara for the Mormons, for us?"

And I waited for his response, which was... "I don't have much authority, but yes I say you can."

I cheered, I laughed, I chuckled, I cried, all in the span of those words... And then, I called Challenger. I asked him the same thing; he said, "Yup."

I truly knew, that this was the new beginning, for Brigham, Eosara.

Welcome To Brigham, Multum!

"Hello, I am Mayor (and Bishop) Edmund Jackson Davis of this fine place, Brigham. As you can see, we have a statue of Thy Holy Lord and Thy Son, photos and paintings of Joseph Smith, and Brigham Young. As well as others. Now, I must say, we have great places for food, like Joseph's, a diner, and, Otto's Fine And Dine. We also have some good ol' car places like Saint's, and some other places. We have a Land Value Tax, so if you add anything to your house, your land value won't go up; and so won't your rent! Only if you buy more land, will it. Our minimum wage is 0.447 Creddits or $16.75 U.S.D. We also have good healthcare, and great education, because we get all of the Mormon-approved ones!"

Time, After Time, After Time Again...

"I lose."

This, is it worth something?

I erase that from my notebook. I look outside, at the fresh air, the cold breeze that you adore while it's here; while you know it'll be gone soon.

"Hope, is a mechanism we all endure; a one which can go good, or bad. However, all of these times, I have never truly felt the good part of it. I have grasped its feeling, yes, but never the true embrace. All of the people that voted for me, I thank you. I truly do."

And yet, I look up, and stare at my wall. "Would Joseph Smith approve? Would Brigham Young approve? Do I approve... Does the Messiah, approve? Does the Holy Lord, approve?"

My waiter, Garrett had walked in...

"Mr. Chairman, Bishop Davis, sir. We all voted for you sir, I am truly sorry about your los-"

"Is it fair, Garrett? Is it fair. Is it? For everything, for everything I have achieved; does it mean something? I know great people here, yes, and they have done wonders... However, this whole time, I've done nothing wrong, yet I am a sacrificial lamb."

"Wel l, I believe that you'll be just fine. You did your best, Edmund. You are the greatest Bishop in the country! The best mayor too!"

"Yeah, I do guess that is reasonable. Am I, Garrett? Am I reasonable? You know, these past few days have been hard. First, I, had lost a possible friend to work with, especially for their great pizza, and now I lost the elections. Just like I did last month, and the month before, and the month before, and the m-"

"You'll be fine Edmund, just enjoy life, while it lasts."

The Pizza Files

Now, I saw the post about the Liberty! League Pizza, and I want to clear things up; so as the Leader of the Liberty! League, I am releasing the all of the pictures which he stated now, I only speak for myself, so please state your opinion.

Now, as you see, I did try to move away from the situation, but u/WhaleHuntingSociety unfortunately brought it up again. As you can see, I also tried to move on during when it was happening, but unfortunately, that didn't work.

Also, I did mention Chess, so yippie!

And finally, look, I did tell u/WhaleHuntingSociety to stop, now this doesn't mean he's kicked out of the party, but still. I am releasing this for the absolute state of honesty.

I looked at the post card I was about to send across the country. It looked nice, sweet, and cool.

"I hope it works, this time. I really think I will, truly, win this time. You know, I hope that my party is truly in a coalition now. I've earned it, at this point. Maybe with the Liberal-Democrats... Maybe with the SPD... Maybe with the Blue Dogs... Maybe with the Union of Patriots... That's for a later time though, because simply, I'm happy. I've heard that a lot of people have been voting for me. Something, which I believe is great, and I strive to get into Parliament, so I believe this time, is mine."

Then, I gave the poster postcards to the mailman, to spread across the nation.

I watched as he slowly got far enough to where he was just a molecule compared to the rest of what I could see, of Brigham.

Tis a nice day, when I was planting and taking out ripe fruits, for the townspeople to sell.

How I have yearned for thy day to come, where we Mormons would finally get our own little town. I mean, nobody else has tried to move here besides us, so I guess it's nice for a time being.

And, I spot a car, with one of my car stickers I sold.

"If only, I knew that I would win this Parliamentary Election, if only I could know, but there is a election to be held, one which I desire to win. I just hope it works... I have ran so many times, and yet the one thing which has never faltered; is my faith in the LDS Church. It is my achievement, and yet, it is the one thing I can truly know that I strive there. I just have to win, this big, big, position, and there will be two places which I strive in..."

I Want YOU! To Rank u/Edmund_Jackson_Davis

As I watch over my Mormon town, with currently, just Morrmons after the Dwarven Departure all the way in the farland, I finish sticking up the final poster.

"As the first mayor of 𐐒𐑉𐐮𐑀𐐲𐑋, I declare that the official way of paying for house taxes here will be through Georgism; the Land Value Tax, and that there will be no Income Tax, and no other forms of taxes, except Federal Taxes on items."

As I watch the cheers, I stare at the sun, as it sticks to its position, looking at me like it's grinning. "This is what Joseph Smith wanted."

I have seen so much, and so many endorsements, and friends, and learned about so many, and figured out things, but yet, I feel like it is truly, my time.

Liberty! Liberty! Who's With Me?

CREDIT: u/SummerParticular6355

As I walk to Laurin, I see that it looks abandoned, barren. There are mighty buildings, but yet, nobody to support them. A sign reads, "After the Exile, we are following him. This place may be forgotten, or restored, but we are gone."

And yet, my many followers have made it. Made it to the town of Steel, the town of Dwarves; yet they have all left.

As I look at my followers, my Mormons, my people... I announce... "Laurin will be ours, our land, our town. And so, as my first order of business, I declare Laurin to be renamed to 𐐒𐑉𐐮𐑀𐐲𐑋."

"𐐒𐑉𐐮𐑀𐐲𐑋! 𐐒𐑉𐐮𐑀𐐲𐑋! 𐐒𐑉𐐮𐑀𐐲𐑋!"

And yet, I know the people have chosen Liberty, and Freedom.

So many Mormons, and so many people come and raise me up, and shake my hand roaring, but patriotically, roaring, "𐐒𐑉𐐮𐑀𐐲𐑋! 𐐒𐑉𐐮𐑀𐐲𐑋! 𐐒𐑉𐐮𐑀𐐲𐑋!" And I feel happy. Happy once again.
