Barren as a Beach in February
So apparently we’re Airstriking Paraguay.
That comes as a huge surprise to me.
But, I’m not really plugged in, so I figured I just missed something. Last time I checked, the only time you Airstrike a tiny nation was because you were fleeing from a bigger nation, or you’re positioning yourself to attack something important.
So I went to my normal source, the James S. Brady Press Room. Turns out, there hasn’t been a WHPR in two weeks, which is an impressive failure, even by the low standards of 2015 eRep.
I figured I’d check the next best source, the President’s Paper. Except I followed the link from the WHPR and it is of course outdated. Naturally.
Then I had to manually search for the President, and find her paper. She hasn’t written anything in one week.
But don’t worry, because she did thank us for voting for her. At least we have that going for us.
So maybe the Vice President has something. If she’s Vice President, she probably has at least a lazy eye on the President’s chair, so maybe she’s taking some initiative and doing some writing.
Nope. But she did take some time to convince us to vote for Beachbunny. That’s nice.
But I remembered seeing something about a Chief of Staff paper. Took me a lot of searching (the link isn’t anywhere) and I ended up having to ask for it on IRC. Here it is. Not a bad idea. At least someone is trying to do something. But there wasn’t anything about an airstrike.
I tried the forums.
I didn’t remember seeing anything in Gen eRep, but that’s par for the course. Nothing happens there except Franklin yelling at Pfeiffer and DMJ.
But I did check out the Executive Branch section. That’s where the usually pretty good Press Briefings get posted. Haven’t posted one in 5 days.
There hasn’t been anything from the Beachbunny Administration.
It’s like a beach in February.
But then I finally found something. Just a little something, but something none the less. Good ole Public Congress and a post about Max Taxes. Turns out it’s about raising the taxes to 12% (or so).
There are numerous references to something going on concurrently in Private Congress.
The conclusions we can draw from this, are that we’re going to either be spending a ton of money, or we’re already broke.
Considering we’re Air Striking a small nation in South America, I’m going to bet on the former. We must need money for something. And probably something big.
There isn’t any actual information out there, due to the crippling ineptitude of our government. When the election was on the line, they had all the time in the world to publish articles; asking for our votes and support.
But now that something is actually happening?
Nothing.
Two weeks since a WHPR?
One week since a Presidential article?
No press briefings for 5 days?
No Vice Presidential article?
This is completely inexcusable, and it’s about as inept as you can be before Congress starts throwing out the ’i word’.
Beachbunny promised Media will and better pump out some great articles or else… (Source)
There hasn’t been any pumping, or trickling, or writing, or anything even resembling governance.
At what point will she hold her cabinet accountable?
And more importantly, at what point will we hold her accountable?
(enjoy that 12% tax rate
🙂)

I hope she listens.
I want much better from her.
I'll say one certainly good thing about the BB administration... She has generated plenty of action in Congress. That is not nothing.
I don`t know what anyone expected.
Hey, if it gets you and Gnil back to the land of the living..

I dont think America is ready for that. I know I'm not.
Media will be forthcoming. We are getting ready for releases, just need certain things taken care of in Congress.
That is cool. But the point is that almost all venues of info for the public is a deadend since this administration has taken power.
As stated in the article unacceptable.
I do not normally agree with IS, but in this case he is spot on.
Funny how that works sometimes isn't it Shiloh. I've actually found myself agreeing with Franklin Stone on a couple things here lately. Lol
See...told you we could be friends.
On the issue of the top 5 running candidates you are 100 percent right. There is no reason Ajay should ever be able to get on a ballot again ........none.
Hear, Hear!
Palestinian Stevens and Old Man Custer in March..
er.. what month is coming up?
oh, yeah-- Stevens and Joe Biden in September!
no, that's not it.. where's my damn glasses?!
but to the point.. Communication is Key.
even when the very Heads of Big Promise fail to communicate, a good SecMed will dig up shit to publish, or publish bullshit, but never leave the paper idle.
the only message being delivered from our government is that we don't need to know what's up.
a WHPR.

I knew that this would happen. 😛 😃
You're still alive 😮
Ouch
Classic Israel Stevens hatchet job, except with nothing to hatchet.
By which I mean this is also your worst hatchet job ever. Perhaps in line with the declining standards of the time?
Are you saying he doesn't have a point here?
Oblige talking out of his ass. Shocker!
when it was written, there was no new WHPR.
and.. if you look at this latest edition... and I've seen a few of these up close, and have done exactly this, myself.. it's hastily thrown together and lacks any real content. it's a placebo.
@Evry simply pointing out that the source is not to be trusted. Israel is the Fox News of the eUSA.
Ironically Oblige, your statement is the ad hom here. Israel backed his up fairly convincingly. Personalities aside, and you're one to talk, allusions to Fox News does nothing to answer Evry's question: Are you saying he doesn't have a point?
Oblige is Donald Trump of eRepublik!
I'M GOING MAKE ISRAEL PAY FOR THAT WALL! YOU WATCH!
And yes that is what I'm saying Paul. WHPR articles and CP articles are hardly the judgement of an active administration. Given that you can get into the Top 5 with 15 votes most days, media is obviously not the best way to communicate with the average citizen.
You act like outside of articles the cabinet is actually doing something. You have access to the PDBs, you see how much they are full of random nonsense and no actual business. Don't kid yourself, there isn't shit going on right now, and it's pretty disappointing. At least there is activity showing from DoCA.
I think there's been a lot of good posts in the PDB, over the last two days in particular. I give especial credit to Molly Emma.
"WHPR articles and CP articles are hardly the judgement of an active administration."
It's beyond pathetic that I'm the one that has to make this point, but yes. Yes they are.
They really aren't. They're *a* measure, but hardly the only one. A lot of administrations have put out WHPRs that were neither well written nor well read. By the same token we have CPs that haven't published at all during their terms and still have great success.
Also, of all people, I don't think Paul Proteus is one to cast stones when it comes to Presidential activity.
Actually his term is a great example. Plenty of Good Bye Blue Monday articles but a total failure in all other aspects.
lol Oblige, if you think my term was a success in media you are twice deluded.
Then again, your terms have all been landmark successes. Face it Oblige, we're both noble honorees of the failed Presidential hall of fame, the only difference is I've only inflicted myself upon this nation once.
Sweet Burn Paul, but my terms always had turbo charged media thanks to Custer. Again, showing that media activity is not the gauge of a successful term.
Not a gauge. A requirement.
That's two days of a term that is 10 days old. And her post was good indeed, but if had nothing to do with the cabinet.
(Put this in the wrong place before)

I mean... That's the whole point... There's nothing to hatchet. Good reading? I guess?
You seem a lot more bitter since we talked last. 🙁
People actually have to pay attention in order to make elected officials accountable. Good luck with that.
accept my citizenship request 🙂
Go back to bed America, your government is in control again.
Here. Here’s American Gladiators. Watch this. Shut up.
Go back to bed America, here’s American Gladiators.
Here’s 56 channels of it.
Watch these pituitary retards bang their f§$%ing skulls together,
and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom.
Here you go America.
You are free to do as we tell you.
You are free to do as we tell you.
So edgy.
So accurate.
Don't mind him. he thought my PP candidacy was serious and tried to make it about USWP being the hairy asshole of satan. Which I'm not saying it isn't, but I'm already balls deep in there, so meh.
There is no information because this whole BS war that nobody wants was simply an excuse to try and raise taxes to 12% or 15% to support an FN 3rd rate National Military Unit, who I hope is up to the task because unless this causes Bulgaria to AS American Soil; I have a feeling they are pretty much on their own....
The defensive dicktator is put in place by the USAF. The new Potus inherits his rule by getting in charge of the MU. How would this be done if there wasn't a State owned MU? What private MU would host the dicktatorship?
So, in order to get rid of the USAF money draining machine you need to get rid of the dicktatorship model!
Hi IS. 🙂
OHNO! The metagame is broken! *panics*
your face is broken
It broke from looking at your mom.
