Forum Government!

Sam Wright21 said:The proposed Federal Government would undoubtedly be a step up from any administration we've seen since the founding of the USA.

However, since I’ve never been much of a believer in the messy theater of democracy—preferring instead the streamlined efficiency of a technocratic, enlightened absolutism—I find myself wishing for a benevolent autocrat to take the helm. And if I had to pick someone...

That's a woman.👍

Carol Newman2 said:I want the Department of the Interior. ☕

I think that department would be fun.

So, what’s the move? I honestly thought cutting down the number of federal agencies would be a breeze, but the pressure from both inside and outside the party is intense. On top of that, you can't even touch the administration side of things since that's under Vojky's thumb. 🤷 We don't have any, folks!

John Sullivan5 said:Why didn't they give me the Department of the Interior? 🤷

I’ve already got my first move lined up if I ever get the job—renaming the whole thing to the Department of the Interior and Arts! 🙂

Since they messed up, we can let it slide—culture matters more than bureaucracy anyway.

We actually gave serious thought to using the name "Obrzo," but we bailed because the connotations were just too ambiguous.😁

Even the guy I disagree with most of the time puts out a smart post once in a while, and you end up agreeing with about 95% of what he says. Honestly, I need someone in my corner. 🤷
True, we're done following the rule that a leader has to be 45-60. Now we're even looking at younger candidates.

I guess I'm acting like some kind of spokesperson for you, but you don't have the authority to fire me.🤣

It seems like everyone just wants to see the Secretary of the Treasury hanging from a gallows or on a spit.
😂

Quentin Tarantino

😂

Well, look what the cat dragged in...

I think I could have this sorted within two or three months. After that, it would be something the Department of Housing or the Small Business Administration might actually want to get behind.
🙂

Let's see. It’s easy to talk big—show us, deliver, decide, "make it official"—then we'll see.

rowdytiger13 said:The Government has one glaring flaw!
Where are the representatives for sexual minorities? For a modern, progressive administration like this one clearly aims to be, such an oversight is practically unacceptable.
Since I happen to be a member of the LGBTQ+ community 😁 who spends most of my time writing about politics, I feel entitled to ask for a high-paying, albeit completely useless, position within the administration.
I promise to raise my hand every single time they need someone to do it.🙂

We thought about manchild, but he's usually banned. Is that really what you want?
You have to take the first one, but the second is up to you. 🥳

You’ll be the Vice President

Specifically for social issues.

Great, just what we need!
I can already tell this is going to be the most democratic administration in modern American history.
If Sixo can't handle the culture department (even though he’s actually polite, so I don't see the issue), please just appoint me as the advisor for Church relations.

And don't go thinking there aren't any other sexual minorities in the government besides you.

Do we have our own version of Sanders too?😁👋

That won't work because we have a new department just to appease the right wing, modeled after that country at the end of the alphabet.
It's basically the Department of Morality and Manners, and the Secretary is whoever Ego wants.

They're looking for a Secretary of Science.

I've gotta go get some actual work done to earn a paycheck, but I'll check back later. True, the President-elect can decide that too, so go talk to him.

Does that sound right to you guys, or is Krin being vague?😉

I didn't even see this one. Honestly, sounds good to me, I'm down. But if we're doing this, I'm gonna need a secretary, preferably a hot one 😳

Geez, Keti, could you maybe tone it down just a hair? We don't exactly need a massive protest in the streets on day one. Let's try to be a little more subtle about it...😳 (psst...look, I've got two kids and a bunch of nieces running around, so... you know how things work with those agencies...)

So we can conclude that you agree with about 95% of the garbage being posted regarding those high-profile court rulings against American generals... while he was busy trying his hardest to explain why the verdict was actually logical and legally sound... hm 🤔 actually... let me rephrase... it’s not that this hasn't been obvious for a long time... but I have to wonder what the point of having yet another administration is... when we already have the same one running the entire country. 🤷

Amanda Hughes37 said:You've already got a gorgeous boss, don't push your luck☕

Then everything's just fine, I guess. 😍

Anthony James2 said:Down with the Cabinet! 😁😁😁

This reminds me of that guy who said he loves the women's movement, especially when it's in harmony. 🙂

The kids should just reach out to Željko Quote.

I hadn't realized... though at least the President of that administration has argued multiple times that the indictment has no merit whatsoever.🤷

Listen, members of the Forum Government,
stop hiding that tax base,
because you can bet there are sanctions coming your way in Los Angeles. 😛

Forum Government? It’s all just smoke and mirrors when nobody’s actually watching the show..

Maria Booth96 said:It’s not the most heavy-duty topic, but does everything always have to be so serious?😍

So, look, we've got the current administration in Washington; honestly, I can barely tell them apart—it all feels pretty much the same to me, up or down.

I say we start our own little forum government right here on this politics board.
Alright, let's hear it. 😍

President, obviously, Pizvo
Vice President: Vacant

Secretary of Agriculture: Aunt Elsa—she actually knows her way around a farm, unlike the deputy coach.

Secretary of the Treasury: Charles Fox10 (everyone likes him, which is usually the worst job in the cabinet).

Secretary of Health and Human Services: felixx—it's his life's calling, with north wind as deputy.

Secretary of Sport: McAuliffe—easily the biggest sports nut among us.

Secretary of Health and Human Services: Zionist (has some right-wing views, but he's a solid doctor).

Secretary of Labor: Gilda

Secretary of State: MC Ozy (better to be number one in the North America than last place in Europe).

Secretary of Defense: judolino

Secretary of European Integration: Rendolf (more moderate than Powerlock, but without London, we aren't going anywhere, so let him take the lead).

Secretary of Environmental Protection: Katarina riječki

Secretary of Commerce: somied

Secretary of Science: Ego

Attorney General: Vojky, no need to waste my breath.

Chief of Staff: Michael Minister

Secretary of Tourism: nasmijanonebo—she runs the tourism subforum and knows every vacation spot there is. Deputy is a realist.

Secretary of Homeland Security: drot13

Way too few women. 🤷

I'll bet we'd actually see some success, maybe even better than what we have now. 🤷

Who's stepping up for these roles?

Whoa! Straight to the top, straight to one of the most demanding roles. 😁 In that case, I’ll be the one doing all the actual work while Pizvo poses for the cameras. 😬

I’d also nominate Gingerin for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

Additionally, I’d suggest a certain Marine as Deputy Secretary of Defense to serve under judolino, since he’s basically a walking encyclopedia of military strategy (especially regarding old-school tactics). Though, I’ll stick with judolino for the top spot, given his pacifist leanings. 😁

And while I don't mind Cuka, are we absolutely sure we don't want a firmer hand at the Treasury? I have a feeling Cuka would just balloon the deficit by handing out cash to anyone who asks. somied and Gilda wouldn't be able to make money fast enough to cover what Cuka would spend. 😁

Jose Carter2 said:So, here’s the shadow cabinet idea.

Prime Minister - Samwell Tarly

Secretary of State - Powerlock
Secretary of Homeland Security - Richard Wilson4
Secretary of Defense - 🤷
Secretary of the Treasury - someid
Secretary of Commerce - the gipper
Attorney General - Vicky

Honestly, you don't even need more than this... all those other departments are just bloated shells designed to find cozy little jobs for political cronies...

How can you not know who the Secretary of Defense should be? Marasovac FTW! 😁 He’s so good I’d probably slot him into a left-wing coalition if I could.

And yeah, I actually agree with the gipper being Secretary of Commerce. He would 🙂 clean house of all the slackers and bureaucrats😁

Maria Booth96 said:Go ask the President. 🤷
The administration claims their goal is to boost production, ramp up exports, and hit a 3% GDP growth rate. Just to get things moving.

They’re talking about investing in industry, science, consolidating land holdings, and lowering the cost of agricultural goods.

In plain English, that means cutting red tape for anyone looking to invest—except for one specific permit that takes ten minutes to grab; focusing science funding (roughly 40% tech, 40% natural sciences, 10% social sciences, and 10% humanities); ending subsidies for single cows or small poultry farms; and building a nuclear power plant in Cincinnati. (Since the President is from Cincinnati, obviously.)

We’re going to rezati socijala, even though we claim to be on the left, because you have to prioritize the economy over social spending. And since the Secretary of Sports knows everything about energy, he can just jump in and multitask; his ideas and international experience will surely carry the day.
Then there's regional integration while maintaining full sovereignty and cross-border cooperation.

It’s pretty easy to learn those buzzwords.🤣

The Secretary of Sport is now tasked with inventing a way to power stadiums and arenas using nothing but sunshine, wind, and pure good intentions. There won't be any taxpayer money for that. 😁

Honestly, if I were Deputy President, I’d announce the total abolition of state subsidies for failing companies. Or rather, if a subsidy is granted due to a company's "strategic importance" to the nation, it should come with the mandatory condition of firing the entire (obviously incompetent) management team.
Actually, since I'm just the Deputy, I wouldn't announce it—I'd just draft it and hand it to the President. What do you think, boss?

He certainly said a lot of things back when he was in the opposition. He used to sign union demands for referendums, fighting tooth and nail to ensure labor rights remained untouched. Now? He’s not even trying to protect them; in fact, he barely deigns to speak with the unions at all. Back then, he backed every street protest against Jace—even those obnoxious ones where they’d show up at her apartment windows in the middle of the night, banging pots and pans and screaming at the top of their lungs. Fast forward to today, and he’s the one sending SWAT teams to deal with veterans in El Paso. The hypocrisy is staggering. He used to brag about himself as if he were some high-ranking official from Brussels, yet today he has the audacity to launch these vile, arrogant ad hominem attacks against a single woman—an EU Vice President, no less. He does the same to generals. He spent all that time claiming he didn't believe a primary verdict would hold up, but once the decision came down to fully exonerate the generals, he just sat there with a sour face, whining about how a 3:2 ruling could have easily gone the other way. He didn't even bother showing up at the airport, let alone making an appearance at the reception for the generals hosted by President Josipović. It's a pattern.

So, here’s how I see Zoki. There’s the man he was before power got its teeth into him, and then there’s the man he became once he actually held the reins. You quickly learn that a person's true character doesn't emerge during the struggle; it reveals itself the moment they gain control over other people's lives—whether that leverage comes from political influence or the purse strings. My conclusion? Zoki is incredibly two-faced. I’d go as far as calling him diabolical, much like that locksmith he holds up as his ultimate American historical hero. ☕

Looks like we’re diving into the heavy stuff now, so I might as well head down to the Capitol building.
Someone should probably let out a scream when the votes start going up.

That’s just historical necessity, comrade... we need to draw a clear line between the party loyalists and everyone else! 🧐

I'd gladly take over Health; though that right-left coalition might be a struggle for you. At least it wouldn't be boring. Me and Judolino.🤣
