"CITY TO PRINCE: DROP DEAD", DIRECT RULE DECREES CAUSE CHAOS IN SOUTH
By The GM Team
ATLANTA, GA - Following decrees that enforce direct rule over the city, the former mayor (or still current mayor depending who you ask) has made multiple statements, with signed support of 14 of the 16 members of the city council and a majority of Lieutenant or higher ranking officers in the Atlanta PD, saying that Prince Saint's "tyrannical and illegitimate decrees would not be recognized". Already protests have broken out in Atlanta, mostly against the Prince's actions. Signs have been seen saying everything from "stop the tyranny" to "misogynists f**k off" to "where's Sherman when you need him?" Despite expectations, the protests have been mostly peaceful, possibly in part due to Atlanta PD officers often joining the protests. Only scattered reports of looting have been made, although one protest became a brawl when meeting another, smaller group that was protesting in favor of the Prince's decision.
The situation in Atlanta has led to many other cities becoming flooded with mass protests, with
Birmingham, Miami, Mobile, Charleston, Greenville SC, Charlotte, Raleigh, Richmond,
Baltimore, Houston, Dallas, Kansas City, St. Louis, New Orleans, and Memphis all seeing major protests.
Nyman has seen a massive ongoing protest at the National Mall, with the intent of "making sure the Senate can't do business without hearing our pleas". Attendance there is estimated at a steady 300,000 during the day, and tens of thousands going so far as to stay all night too. Peaks of attendance have reached over 500,000. Similarly a protest has sprung up outside of the Southern Capitol in Nashville, with tens of thousands protesting daily. This has been the one that has been cracked down upon the most, with at least 15 arrests due to defacing the Tennessee Map Plaza, or in one case, inciting violence by bringing a guillotine to the protest with an effigy of Prince Saint placed in it.
The place where tensions are reaching a true boiling point, however, is Southeastern Kentucky.
Shortly after the decrees were issued, county executives in Harlan, Letcher, Bell, Leslie, Perry, Knott, Pike, Clay, and Knox counties issued a joint statement, saying that if the Southern government does not "back away from their extreme, anti-liberty authoritarianism", that they would secede. Included in the statement were several polls with statements that the "people of Southeastern Kentucky have had enough". Polls taken in the past month have shown that a small majority (from 55 to 60%) of residents favored separating from the south, including over 80% of women. A poll from Gallup taken of 754 residents over the past 2 days has shown that number jump, with 66% in favor of secession from the south, 28% opposed, and 6% unsure, with a 4.4% MoE. Experts have been skeptical that such a secessionist state would be sustainable without outside aid, but the fact that the area is still considering it nonetheless shows how much damage the decrees have caused .
Weekend At Spiral’s?
By Joseph Cao
As the quietest presidential race in living memory gets underway, President Spiral has not signaled whether he intends to run for a third term. If he did, the electoral outlook would be much better for him than the last time a two-term president attempted the same feat, as residents of the town where the former president in question resides are quick to note.
But there is a more immediate problem that President Spiral, or else his successor, will have to face – the hollowing out of the Cabinet.
Registrar General thumb21 resigned last week, citing personal reasons and apologizing for his recent difficulties with the job. He joins former Attorney General Mr. X, who deregistered late last year and thus opened up a vacancy for his position; in the meantime Deputy AG John Dule has been representing the administration in a slew of cases currently being heard by the Supreme Court. Both vacancies remain unfilled as of this writing. Though Secretary of State razze remains in office, a number of private and public requests for clarification on foreign policy – including in the Senate, of which he is a member – have gone unanswered, and it is possible that a replacement for his position may be under consideration.
The composition of the Cabinet, or lack thereof, will impact the presidential race in other ways. Vice President Cathcon has also had some activity issues (with the 119th Senate's legislative business delayed by over a week after he left a PPT vote open); he may retire regardless of whether Spiral runs again, which would necessitate a fresh VP pick. SoIA Sirius is already running for president and if she is successful she will have an extra Cabinet vacancy to deal with: her own.
At press time, the Department of Federal Elections appears to be functioning as usual. When contacted for comment on the remarkable state of normalcy prevailing in his department, the Secretary replied 'What the [inks] is happening?' and paused briefly before letting out a hollow laugh.
Update approved 3-0.
