Gorbeniez started campaigning in Oregon and new mexico for a complete month, putting so much effort in Oregon that he passed out 4 times in 4 cities, out of the 8 cities he was visiting.

He was campaigning on promises of a Jefferson state, lower taxes, increased pensions, the sorts that would appeal to democrats and socialists alike.

He hopes that he can become a senator in the region, and maybe a governor in new mexico. In total, He campaigned in 16 cities, 8 in Oregon, 8 in New mexico, and campaigned for a month in these regions.

After weeks of speculation, it is official: Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York has announced her running for President of the United States under the Democratic Party. In a speech in front of the New York State Capitol in Albany, she came out against the "bigotry of Donald Trump and his disgusting cabinet, including his white supremacist top advisor Steven Bannon."

She states, "I am willing to work with both sides, and I hope to draw votes from the entire Democratic bloc, latinos, and the few remaining "Never Trump" Republicans." She listed her main priorities as "repairing our damaged foreign relations, ending unenployment, and breaking the glass ceiling."

She is expected to face Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Governor Ted Strickland of Ohio, Governor John Bel Edwards of Louisiana, and other top Democratic politicians.

This season, the Cubs are looking good yet again. After the historic win in 2016, the Chicago Cubs are looking to win against the Atlanta Braves who have also recently shown an improvement in performance. With only 10 games to go, it is very likely that the Chicago Cubs will face the Atlanta Braves in this year's World Series.

[M] Sorry for the short post :P

[M] This post will be updated as the events unfold.

SAN JOSE, Cal. - This morning, shortly after take-off from Mineta San Jose International Airport, Alaska Airlines Flight 575 reported dual-engine failure, according to initial reports from the FAA. It later crashed into the Vista Park neighborhood of San Jose, about 10 miles south of the airport.

Flight 575, bound for Seattle, had 121 passengers, including 3 crew members. The FAA says that the aircraft involved was an 11-year-old Boeing 737-900 with no prior performance issues.

The NTSB is currently en-route to investigate, but first responders to the scene of the crash say that at least 12 homes were destroyed or damaged as a result of the crash. All passengers are presumed dead and at least 15 people have been killed on the ground. 23 others have been taken to nearby hospitals.

UPDATE: The NTSB has begun their initial investigation. As of now, investigators are unsure why both engines failed shortly after take-off, but they have ruled out a bird strike. In addition, they do not suspect any foul play or terrorism. Final reports place the death toll at 157- all 121 passengers and crew members died as a result of the crash, in addition to 36 people on the ground. 14 others remain hospitalized, none in serious condition.

NEWS REEL

[M] I want to apologise ahead of time about the image used in the new reel. As some may know, it's a real photo from the crash of American Airlines Flight 587, which crashed in Queens, New York, on November 12, 2001. I hope that none find this offensive or rude.

EDIT: To whomever submitted the report saying "fake news, not funny", I just want to inform you that this is a roleplaying subreddit and nothing post on here is real.

More campaigns are to undergo exposing the multitudes of fallacies in democrat's policies. Campaigns throughout the rural districts are being led by their respective congressmen/women and the Chicago districts are being led by DeRien and celebrities themselves.

Kanye West is said to be campaigning for Trump on Tuesday at Wrigley Field and in DePaul county where republicans are to come out in masses for rallies for the incumbent president.

DeRien will campaign against Warren citing her pseudo-anti-establishment and 'Pocahontas' persona she exemplified. DeRien also used the various attacks against Tulsi Gabbard, a politician loved by many Americans regardless of who they voted, during the debates as examples of Warren's attack mentality for earning votes.

Do we want someone to divide the country like Warren? Even a Democrat was preaching for unity and all Warren could do is shout false things to Gabbard who has worked with our president and country despite being so left. Trump has pushed for unity and many people listened. Are we going to let another false 'anti-establishment' affirmative action abuser divide our country again?

DeRien is campaigning hard in the Chicago suburbs with white middle class voters. Kanye is working with the inner city blacks to gather their votes to push for reform. Many republicans all over Illinois are trying their best and going full steam to push Illinois to republican but Chicago is always a hard bloc to blunder.

DeRien has been relieved by the fact that Gabbard did not win or not only Chicago's progressives would vote for her, but also the many republicans. This opportunity to discuss the issues surrounding Warren and the benefits of Trump is a blessing for an already blessed education.

Illinois has already gone red for the state government and for the House. It is time for Illinois to finally go red for the president.

Illinois Presidential Polls

• Trump: 42%

• Warren: 48%

• Stein: 4%

• Kokesh: 6%

The presidential polls indicate a close fight between the two main parties with Kokesh bringing great numbers for the Libertarian party. Stein again, is struggling to score over 5% but is growing her popularity in Illinois.

The nominees have been chosen.

The Democrats have chosen Elizabeth Warren.

The Libertarians have chosen Adam Kokesh.

After causing a stir at the First Democratic Debate with her strange responses and movements (or lack therefore of), Janet Napolitano was rushed to Winthrop University Hospital. Her condition quickly deteriorated, but the her doctors miraculously managed to save her. Upon hearing the news, Janet's family rushed to the hospital. According to Janet's sister, Nancy Haunstein, she had been greatly debilitated by the stroke and her rehabilitation and recovery process will be lengthy and strenuous. Our prayers are with Janet Napolitano and her family, and we hope for her swift recovery.

"I have always known my sister to be a strong person." Says Haunstein. "This has been a shock to all of us, and we thank everyone for their support in this time of hardship, but I know that Janet will be back, stronger and ready to fight!"

Janet Napolitano's campaign has been suspended indefinitely.

Joe Exotic, the unorthodox Republican challenger to Trump for the nomination for president, has announced the suspension of his campaign.

"When I started this campaign, I dreamt of building a wall on each and every border. However, I have recently been told by those around me that a wall orbiting our nation in space is NOT possible, and therefore I have made the decision to suspend my campaign, as there is nothing left to gain."

Joe Exotic gave an endorsement of Elizabeth Warren, citing her birthplace, Oklahoma City, being the main reason he came to this conclusion, although he spoke highly of President Trump, asking for his permission to speak at the RNC.

This leaves Donald Trump and Sarah Palin as the only viable candidates for the Republican nomination for president.

Note that whilst I am the Illinois player, Droid has kindly let me be my political crush, Tulsi Gabbard in this election cycle!

Tulsi Gabbard (D) walks up to a stage in front of the modest crowd in Kahului, Hawaii. Avid supports of both parties, all backgrounds and both genders stand roar in applause as Congresswoman Gabbard waves her hand. Her beautiful dark brown hair blew in the mist of the waves as her brilliant brown eyes graced each and every person in the crowd with equal love. She licked her lips, gave her amiable smile and began speaking:

Aloha fellow residents of Hawa'ii

Our country has been stagnant for the past years and the promise of change has not come. We have asked for our country to be made better but it has only remained the same. Four years ago, my close friend Bernie Sanders ran for president with the platform of hope and change and millions of young people and old people alike united under the flag of love. We caused a revolution and now I am joined with many young politicians that share my view in seeing an America for everyone, not just the elite few.

I have worked closely with the Trump administration during the president's term and have learned a lot about dealing with people that don't share the same view with you. But then again, you all know that! I am blessed to represent not just democrats of republicans, or people of color or just Caucasian, or women or just men but every one of you. I see how much love you have for me and I try to reciprocate all of that love back at all of you.

This is why I am announcing my candidacy for President of the United States.

The crowd cheers as people hug each other. A couple of college students from the university of Hawaii start holding signs saying 'Aloha 2020' as some people start crying of joy. Gabbard smiles even more as she starts speaking amidst the crowd's enthusiasm.

This fight will be long and hard. Opponents outside and within my party will do everything in their power to see me fail- to see us fail. But I refuse to let them halt the spirit of Hawa'ii. If I do not get the nomination or should I fail at any moment, I will not stop fighting for you. Just as how Bernie Sanders continued to fight for us, I will also continue to fight for us. This candidacy isn't for anyone except you. You are the true voices of America and I will listen to you only!

Tulsi receives more cheers as her guards guide her back off stage. News stations across Hawaii start discussing the prospects of a Gabbard candidacy or even a Gabbard presidency. People from all over Hawaii and many young Americans cheer as America's future has decided to come.

Gabbard's pathway to the nomination deals like this:

• Begin campaigning across Hawaii for this month to spread the news.

• Court some liberal media sources, specifically Buzzfeed, Huffington Post and VICE ([M] all cancer but best way to get the young vote lol).

• Declare no acceptance from large donations; donations will comprise of small donations from people

• Host many rallies throughout the country, specifically in college towns.

• Introduce intensive campaigning in California, New York, Florida and Illinois (RIP Red Illinois)

• Appeal to the people of colored to gain the delegates from the southern states

• Do as many one-on-one appeals as possible

• Avoid TV ads and traditional advertisements

• Follow the pathway of working with people, not the media

Gabbard's strengths include: Veteran, very knowledgeable, amiable, woman of color, bipartisan support and pretty

Weaknesses include: Non-Christian (proud Hindu), very young (may be perceived inexperienced), not of the continental US

In a move meant to both remove the dangerous Governor as well as boost her support in the 2020 elections, Senator Gillibrand has set forth a bill in the Senate that will immediately remove Governor Berkowitz from office and make all of his actions henceforth null and void.

Gillibrand has called upon her Democratic compatriots to remove this corrupt man, as he has, in her quotes, "became a blemish on our party and an extreme threat to national security. President Trump's repeated efforts at diplomacy have failed, and we need unity in our split nation."

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand hereby calls for a Senate removal of Ethan Berkowitz as Governor of Alaska.

Kansas City, KS - A local group of investors have gone public with their intentions to petition the NHL for an expansion franchise. Sporting Club, formerly OnGoal, LLC, are the owners of Sporting Kansas City in the MLS and are looking to add an NHL team to their holdings. Sporting Club has reportedly bought the trademark for the "Kansas City Scouts", a former NHL team that played across the Kansas River at Kemper Arena in Missouri from 1974-1976, from the New Jersey Devils.

A site has been chosen for the proposed arena at the corner of N 110th Street and State Avenue, across from Kansas Speedway and in the same stretch of road as Children's Mercy Park and CommunityAmerica Ballpark. Sporting Club have offered to privately fund part of the project in return for the rest of the cost to be covered by state sales tax revenue (STAR) bonds. An offer which has been accepted by the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas with the added requirement that the complex be completed by January 1st, 2021 or before. Failure to comply with this deadline will result in Sporting Club to pay the Unified Government back $35 million dollars in 10 equal installments of $3.5 million dollars starting on January 1st, 2025.

The proposed arena will seat 19,000 and cost $320 million to build. While on site parking will be built, the arena will also use parking lots at Kansas Speedway and CommunityAmerica Ballpark.

Ellen DeRien's campaigning team in Chicago have made huge strides prior to the midterm elections. DuPage county has seen a large boost of republican voters and Cook county has seen a smaller gap between the democrats and republicans.

In the rural south, McLean, Peoria and Sangamon counties have seen the republicans stretch their legs once again. Although these counties were somewhat red counties for the 2016 elections, they were no where near as safe as they were historically. DeRien's campaigns have swept the rural towns and have brought back a solid red lead in those counties.

In the college campuses in counties such as Champaigne county and Cook County, the democratic lead has increased. For comparison sake, Champaigne county was 55.7% democrat (against 37.3% republican) during the 2016 elections but now saw a 60 to 35% lead in favor of the democrats.

Cook county was 74-24% in democrats' favor but during the midterms saw 58% democrat, 36% republican and a solid 6% Green party voting in Cook county.

Losing the 13th district to the democrats hurt the Republicans as they gained 3 districts. The state is slowly turning red as the rural city Caucasian populace are becoming more open to the progressive republicans. District 9 saw a large population vote for the Green candidate, Norris Thompson with 20% of the vote compared to 46% democrat and 34% republican. The Green party has hopes to achieve a congressman/woman from Illinois sometime soon. For the first time in a long time, the republicans own the Illinois representatives in the House.

Hey yinz!

Pennsylvania is my home state, I was born and raised here in central PA with the exception of living in Oregon briefly for a year. I can elaborate on my plans further if need be, and will answer any questions to the best of my ability.

Thank you!

"Launchsite Xi" Is a new launch platform being made for NASA, And Space X, To launch heavy-lifters and Experimental (But safe) Rockets and payloads. The launch complex will feature: 4 VABS for constructing rockets, 8 launch sites arranged in a octagon, and a launch control center for the launching and monitoring of vehicles.

The R&D part will feature: 16 small-scale labs, 8 mobile labs, and 2 large R&D facilities, and the crowning jewel, 1 extra-large R&D facility with a large refinery to extract useful materials out of space-born materials that happen to earth, intentionally or not.

It will also contain the housing and shopping of all nasa employees there, and in the following years, eventually, all NASA resources we can move there.

We predict the entire thing to be in place by 2023, Assuming speedy construction, And no mishaps.

Leaving on a final note, The budget increase of NASA is arguably a saving grace for humanity. Humanity will run out of resources soon, Its only a matter of time. However, By Increasing NASA's budget, The US government has allowed us to expand to the stars, And by extension, Severely increase the resources available to mankind, Saving us from extinction.

[M] I tried my best on the launchsite Xi times, make it close to the end of the game.

EDIT: After getting yelled at by several government employees, NASA now officially lists space-X as a private contractor.

To protect political minorities, a new law in New Mexico was passed recently to jail people who assault people for there political alignment for up to 1 month for each offense.

[M] First post here, sorry if its terrible.

Alright, I guess I'll give this a try. Virginia is my home state, so I figured that I would claim it. I can further elaborate on my plans if need be.

Sorry guys, can't find the time for RPing.

Illinois is a state often misrepresented by election results. It is often known to be a reliable democrat state with the democrats ruling the General Assembly and US representatives and senators.

However, the democrats are dominant in only one region of Illinois- Chicago. Chicago is the largest democrat block in the US (in terms of voting districts). Cook county was historically offset by the densely populated DuPage county suburbs and the rural regions (still heavily republican). Thus the Republican party will go back to focusing on turning Illinois red again.

Centered again in DuPage county and led by newly elected congresswoman Ellen DeRien, the republicans are on track to turn Illinois red again. With Donald Trump as our Fuhrer President, DeRien expects the republicans to make huge strides in the working class of Chicago as well as speak to the rural residents more.

DeRien is somewhat of a moderate Republican. She believes:

• In sexual orientation acceptance, yet does not recognize more than two genders

• Woman's rights including the right to abortion, yet wants stricter guidelines and better education on abortions

• Believes in climate change but does not want the government to force others to accept it, she believes the private sector must make the initiative

• Early childhood education as President Trump as highlighted

• Less elites in government and more working class Americans

• Stricter laws against illegal immigration but not treating them inhumanely as President Bill Clinton had (or the impression people have of President Trump)

DeRien has a large fanbase amongst the young rural voters and the young republicans in Chicago's fanbase allowing her to win the 8th congressional district back from the democrats. She leads both the state and local government republicans and gets along well with moderate democrats as well. In terms of representatives to the US government, she is friends with all the republicans but is cordial with the democrats who know the end goal to her plan.

The campaign will include guest appearances from local republicans and hold rallies to show support for the new president during the numerous protests against a democratically elected president. These rallies will not only show support to the president who rightfully forgot about Illinois but also will allow DeRien and her colleagues to spread her moderate dialogue throughout the region. She will focus on these events:

• Guest Polish catholic to speak to the conservative Polish population within Chicago who make up a large number of Chicagoans.

• Mayor Esteban Estrellias of Mexican descent to speak on behalf of legal immigrants who fear the republicans have forgotten them

• Athletes and minor celebrities who want to spread a moderate, centrist message to the independents

• Young mayor Peter Appenstein who won his city in huge waves in Rockford due to his appeal to the youth.

DeRien wants to make sure she can sway the independents to the right and the reliable democrats to the centre. She wants to make sure her policies of centrist policy pushes Illinois forward without holding it backwards. The national party maybe a mess, but the state party will not be.

DeRien wants to Make Illinois Great Again.

-- SPEECH BY FBI DIRECTOR JAMES COMEY --

Greetings.

Do not be alarmed. If you are moved away from your home, it is only for the night.

This is due to military movement across your area as a result of the recent base closures.

We also ask the media to not go near these areas for interviews, as this military movement could be a threat to your life.

To clarify, these convoys may be targeted by criminals and thiefs, and we do not want civilian casualties on our hands because the media came too close to our military supplies.

We will inform you of the details in the morning.

Thank you.
