Shimmer of dark

Alt history:

a shimmer of dark

This is a little writing project I'm doing on my own for no reason,it's just fun to write,at least when it's not during school

Songs to blast while reading:creep,the kill,as it was,all i want is you,step on me,space song

"Decades pass where weeks happen,and weeks pass where decades happen"-Karl marx

Chapter 1:a regular day

It was a day like any other in 2024 before the election,tomorrow was the debate,hopefully joe biden could flip the polls,his current polling is very bad,he jumps onto the trail for a rally,he gives a good speech in wisconsin,the closest swing state in polls,he actually gets a solid day of campaigning,next day will be a big day,hopfully he will win the debate,he has issues so he most likely will lose the debate,what will happen if he loses?well thats a question for the history books because when he gets back to the white house,along with kamala,after the campaign

(Boom)An Explosion rocks the white house,oh my….this will be long…..

A bomb,1 bomb,and 1 man,can change history forever

"Hello,mr.mcdough,we need you in the white house for a little"

most Congressman and Senators die,along with most cabinet members,the president is gone,along with HouseMajorityLeader so the next step would be cabinet,but very few remain,with only 1,jhon mcdough has ascended to the white house,this will be 1 hell of a night

He never thought he would be in this type of position,I guess it's time to serve the people

The sectary comes in with papers,briefing him on the basic duties,he gets sent reports hourly,evidence is being collected on these attacks,the democrats,now drop in the polls even more,his first polls show him at sub-100,this chaos is not sustainable,he gets former secretaries to form his new cabinet,with so many new roles,this will takes months to stabilize,this happened right before the debate,how could we do this?

mcdough,officially declares

"I solemly swear to enact the duties of president and protect,defend and preserve the constitution"

The debates are post posed until everyone gets a nominee,Donald trump,never says anything offical,saying anything after a terror attack would just hurt his poll numbers

First briefing:"we have connections,we have 3 candidates,afghanistan,syria,and Iran,we still don't know,but we have some sources"

The media scrambles to get news,but with no info,all that happens is conspiracy,fox news,even says it was from internal left terror, while most news is post ponned and replaced with the national funeral planning and the national anthem

"Mcdough,how in God's green earth will you win reelection?"

Hour 2:the briefs

Mcdough,now gets his first results on the attack,it's time,who really did this?

"Mr.president sir,we have news,Iran has officaly been connected to the attacks,with osan hussien being tye one who placed the bomb"

"What?We gotta get our troops ready we have to respond quick!"he calls for a army to be prepared to invade Iran

Mcdough,picks up the phone,he informs the un,it's time for the world to strike back,direct millitary involvment,most un ambassadors agree to millitary aid but most dont think they should get involved directly,people reply "strike at the terrorist!don't just sit there!",with little international support,it's seems like the invasion might not get through,o'god.....what's even gonna happen,he sits there for a little,just a moment of thought....

Meanwhile,in Florida hurricane algia,has came for palm beach,it is starting to ravage the city,what do we do,Mr president?he gets all of his members ready for a meeting on hurricane algia

He intiaties his secretary for disaster and enviroment,alpid quesan,on it,he gives a little bit of prep,but a full response hasent been made yet,most people are made about there being no response,and Florida's hold signs saying "you're fired,mcdough!",secretary of environment,aldha stweq sends out many units known as algi's to try to save people,many left wingers in palm beach,a safe blue area,say they will vote for stein after these events,most people are actually happy with stweq response,but most are not saved by algi's,and the hurricane kills thousands

A major spike in inflation and dip in jobs has appeared in recent financial reports The secretary of commerce,jhon qwenstin,has officaly gaven loans out and created a new federal job package,giving a tiny green job huts to the people,to try to manage it,green job huts are green jobs that are made out of retired offices and buildings to create new jobs,he also starts Issuing bonds to give people some stability,people are unhappy with the response calling them "socialists" and doing to much

The first polls since the crisis has started,here they are

National polls

Republicans:58.46

Democrats:39.36

Electoral chances

Republicans:92%

Democrats:8%

Hour 3:hurricane algia

The hurricane,it's time to deal with it,get ready and start working

Alpid quesan officially starts his "alpid campaign where he hires volunteers to join the alpid's program,aldha stweq starts building housing units while moving them around to try to save people,it saves thousands and the response has a good approval,but the alpid volunteers and alpid organization collapses after low funding and a low amount of voulenteers,but a new response program is made,the "algia strike"where they send millitary grade helicopters to save people in the wake of destruction,they also send water equipment to eat up water in the areas already effected to make sure they can help areas already attacked

Brief 1,day 2:snap results

“Mr.president,I must inform you of the results for the snap election”

He is watching the TV,CNN senate and house alls,it's time

They need to fill vacancies because of the fact most members of congress and senate died so we need to hold elections to get a government to form

And finally,the results

Senate:50D vs 47R vs 3I(2D leaning,1I leaning)

Poll error:massive

House:219D vs 214R

Poll error:medium

Senate:hold D(lean D popular vote margin)

House:flip D(lean D popular vote margin)

Trump comments saying that there was clear as day Electoral fraud and how the government Hates him for speaking the truth and rigged the election

Pollsters scramble on how they could've gotten it so wrong,with most polls showing this

R best case based on polls

Senate:41D vs 57R vs 2I(both D leaning)(tilt R popular vote margin)

House:206D vs 227R(leaning R popular vote margin)

Results:massive over estimation of republicans

D best case based on polls

Senate:53R vs 45D 2I(both D leaning)(tilt D popular vote margin)

House:215 vs 218(tilt R popular vote margin)

Results:overestimated republicans

Senate:flip Republican

House:hold Republican

Here us how it was looking through out the night

1st ballots:

Senate:58R vs 40D vs 2I(lean R popular vote margin)

House:232R vs 201D(likely R popular vote margin)

Pundits:over estimated dems?the republicans did even better than expected!we were pretty close though

2nd ballots:

Senate:53R vs 45D vs 2I(tilt D popular vote margins)

House:218D vs 215R(Tilt R popular vote margin)

Pundits:overestimated republicans?a split congress,we got it wrong but not to much,hopefully the 3rd ballots can make our predictions accurate,we still got a decent prediction

3rd ballots:

Senate:49D vs 48R vs 3I(lean D popular vote margin)

House:219D vs 214R(lean D popular vote margin)

Pundits:massively overestimated republicans!how did we get it so wrong

Republicans say this is because of the tragedy effect where the incumbent does way better after tragedies even if they won't do that good after,democrats say this is because polls are underestimating democrats and they have a shot to keep the white house,even if slim

Key races;

Montana:tilt dem(extremely unexpected)

Ohio:tilt dem(extremely unexpected)

Arizona:lean dem(unexpected)

Wisconsin:tilt dem(unexpected)

Michigan:lean dem(unexpected)

Nevada:lean dem(unexpected)

Texas:tilt dem(extremely Unexpected)

Nebraska:tilt I(extremely unexpected)

This is reported on by many as a massive upset,the news channels reporting on the event mainly focus on republican holds denying a blue wave,while most people already knew this wasn't a blue wave,right wing media not reporting on it not being a red wave was weird,this also decreases right wing media validity Boosting mcdough

Brief 2:the swings

Congratulations,mr.president,you have won the snap elections,but there is a long road ahead,so let's look at the swing states

Old swings:all of the major swing states in 2020 have became solid red,in polling

Northeast:new york and Connecticut are the closest,while NJ,NH,ME are safe red,and MA and VA are safe blue

Midwest:MN,IL,VA,are all considered close red states

Mountains:NM is lean red,and colarado is a swing,the rest of them are safe red

West:Oregon is lean red,while California is a swing,and Washington is lean blue

South:all safe red except Georgia which is likely red

Hour 2:background

Who,what where,everything is moving so fast,let's take a step back,who are these people,mcdough was the secretary of Veterans affairs for Joe biden,when mist members died he was moved fowards,he is a overall unknown political figure,he was a moderation choice who really dosent have to many defined opinions,Trump is the main person president,he is a business man who is mainly known for his sweeping rhetoric and his upset in 2016 to take back the presidency,Gretchen Whitmer is a populist who is the main one leading the charge of the populist wing since Bernie decided not to run,gavin is a normal politician,he is a establishment guy and is really not known for much besides negative stuff,what will happen?no one knows,so let's get into the primaries

Hour 3:the DNC

It's time...the first primaries

Mcdough officially wins new jersey,after a close race with gavin,along with south Carolina,meaning the convention is here,with mcdough in the lead,but Witcher has won Michigan and Montana,while Newsom has won Texas and California

Mcdough:142+SC and NJ

Gavin:138+TX and CA

Mary walker:56

Witchmer:92+MC and MT

Mcdough needs face the hard truth,he needs to appeal to either the establishment(gavin) or populist(Cary walker and witchmer) to win,no more moderation

Withmer and Cary walker make a deal,walker gives up and gives all her delegates to witchmer,changing it to this

Mcdough:142

Gavin:138

Witchmer:148

Mcdough,decides to not make decisions until it reaches the end,so after a few more states calls....

Second state calls:

Mcdough:264

Gavin:174

Witchmer:287

The next few states seem to be mcdough states,maybe mcdough can win without.....

Ok,here the results come!

Mcdough state calls

Mcdough:296

Gavin:184

Witchmer:292

He now has a plurality,but no majority,Mr president,it's time...

Here the super delegates come!

Mcdough:314

Gavin:294

Witchmer:306

Still no majority.....well I guess we will wait for the next state calls

Hers they come!these are southern states

Mcdough:454

Gavin:393

Witchmer:406

2 delagates.....we are at a stand still

Next states!the mountain states

Mcdough:464

Gavin:408

Witchmer:476

Well,this was expected,the mountains has historically populist dems,but the next states are northeastern,these will be Gavin leaning

Mcdough:484

Gavin:473

Witchmer:487

3 points away....witchmer will most likely win the western state calls,along with gavin,you will still compete,though

Second ballot:

Mcdough:516

Gavin:491

Whitmer:513

Third ballot:

Mcdough:515

Gavin:492

Whitmer:513

Whitmer and mcdough reach a agreement,no more aid to isreal, a higher minimum wage and a public option for the platform and for this in exchange Whitmer drops out,gavin gets many pro isreal delegates from mcdough after this deal,closing the gap

Sixth ballot

Gavin:757

Mcdough:762

Mcdough,the candidate who considered not even running,and was expected to have no chance,gets the nomination,with a majority after the deal

"I mcdough,thank you for the nomination,it's time,for america to move forward,we shall give rights to the common man,we will not let the republicans take back the white house and set us back 50 years,we shall finally move forward,and together,we will retain the white house,and together we will win,not only us,but for all the population,for everyone,together we fight!I will continue the work,the good fight,for all,I continue the march,to move forwards,not backwards,for all,not the top 1%!"

As he stared at the stack of briefings, McDough wondered if he was the right man for the job. A year ago, he'd been a quiet secretary with little public attention. Now, he was the leader of a grieving nation, and the weight was suffocating.

Day 3:a real debate

The debate is finally here

Spawo"first question,plans for illegal immigration"

Trump: "We must be tough, we cannot let Mexico continue to funnel drug dealers into-"

McDough: "Illegal immigrants have a lower crime rate than regular citizens."

Trump: "Number 1, wrong, number 2, can you back that up with a source?"

McDough: "You're the one saying they are criminals, give me a source."

Trump: "Sir, they are called illegal immigrants, they are automatically criminals."

McDough: "We don't need to separate families, we need strong borders, but deportation is not necessary."

Trump: "There are millions of people who waited to get here legally and you are fine with people just skipping that?"

Spawo: "So how will you deal with the economy?"

Trump: "The current economy is horrible because of the McDough administration and-"

McDough: "And what's your plan to fix it?"

Trump: "The market stabilizes, opening doors and opportunities, why should a man get money taken to give to a less hard working man?"

McDough: "All homeless people are lazy? I'm pretty sure most of them work harder than you."

Trump: "The market shows people what happens, we can't just move people up and down the pyramid because someone probably worked harder than them."

McDough: "Taxes are there to give everyone a chance, if they do bad, they still deserve a chance."

Trump: "You can't give everyone infinite chances."

McDough: "Yes you can, also why can't people have a good life? Why does everyone gotta suffer because of fairness?"

Trump: "Because they work harder, stupid."

McDough: "How did this man win the middle class?"

Trump: "Because I'm saying the truth."

Spawo: "Next question, foreign policy."

Trump: "We gotta make our allies pay their fair share."

McDough: "Sir, they don't owe us money, they owe the alliance money, and most of them are above the threshold since 2022."

Trump: "If that's what it takes, why did it take so much?"

McDough: "Does that matter?"

Trump: "Yes."

McDough: "And how?"

Trump: "And stopping aid to Israel is sound policy, McDough? How does that make sense, it's the same scenario."

McDough: "Even if we don't like the decision, they are international criminals, and have killed thousands."

Trump: "Surrender to China, to Palestine, to Russia, to the immigrants, what will you fight for?"

McDough: "For our citizens, unlike you, also who was it who said 'let 'em have it' if Russia invades?"

Spawo: "Next question, crime."

McDough: "…..Do I need to say anything? Mr. Trump, you are a convicted felon."

Trump: "The crime rate is higher than ever and-"

McDough: "Wrong, it had a spike in 2020 but has steadily decreased outside of that."

Trump: "Violent crime, is at an all-time high-"

McDough: "Wrong, it's at a high for the 2000's but not all-time."

Spawo"next question,social issues"

Trump"the Bible says,I'm fine with a compromise with civil unions,but not direct marriage"

Mcdough"what happened to the separation of church and state?it shouldn't matter in terms of policy"

Trump"a majority of the populus is Christian"

Mcdough"number 1,tyrannny of the majority,number 2,a majority supports gay marriage"

Trump"in sports men have a advantage,I'm not saying they are better in general,all I'm saying is a fact,so how is it fair for Trans people to play in sports?"

Mcdough"being trans reverses the advantage men have in sports,there is scientific proof"

Trump"abortion should be state decided,I'm not the radical here,you are"

Mcdough"i believe in the fundamental right to choose your own path,states,don't matter when it could destroy a life"

Polling post debate

Dems:+5(46%)

Repubs:-8(53%)

Election chances

Dems:+18(23%)

Republicans:-19(76%)

Tie:+1(1%)

Most pundints where expecting mcdough to win,but most where expecting for trump to delay the debate because of the Whitehouse bombing and other....obvious reasons,but him accepting it was actually a smart move to dissipate it's effects once election night came close,this was a expected development,and brings the race closer and closer to a upset

Day 4:tick tock goes the clock

Mcdough,now with a senate and house to go along with,passes a major bill was sent through to reshuffle his environment cabinet member

Alpid quesan is officially removed from his position as secretary of disaster and enviroment and places to deal with the economic crisis,aldha stweq is moved from secretary of environment to deal with algia managment,he pushes for major cleaners in already effected areas and helicopters to move people to places that aren't effected like Miami,this passes easily because no one likes hurricanes and they manage to get aggressive with funding,they prioritize the cleaning over helicopters to save residents,helping the main city,and with this aggressive push it gets a support boost

Alpid quesan introduces a bill on senate floor called "askwen" which sends loans to failing companies to try to build more jobs and sends a increase in progressive taxes in widely effected areas(mainly the south)to build more green job huts and to get more Medicare money,this passes 56-44,a fillibuster is attempted but it is stopped with a close vote of 61-39

FIRST mcdough approval rating polls

Dissaprove:64%(-16%)

Approve:27%(+13)

Niether:9%(+3)

Hour 2:a day of triumph

"Sir,it's finally over"

Hurricane algia is finally gone,aldha stweq is alivated to secretary of enviroment and disaster,they get ready for another day

"Sir,our troops are ready"

It's finally time to start the invasion into iran,they get troops ready and start a blockade on supplies to iran,they send a few thousand troops and get a majority of the coast,inside Iran a small amount of forces inside the mountains gather to try to gain control of the goverment,the push is commanded by afro guld who manages to push enough to get small aid shipment from some allies to help in the invasion,the push remains slow,this will be a long week......

Major reporters comment on the declaration of war,but ecencially everyone supported it,even right wingers,so he gets a decent day of popularity,but overall this event is unknown by the media sphere until the in vision starts which is wierd,but kinda makes sense.

Day 5:troops,charge

The first day of the invasion,a hearing is launched for a declaration of war,this passes with support across the isle with 84-16,afro guld manages to push into the mountains starting the first major push,he sends two legions,the mounteh legion and wathaer legion

Summary

Meanwhile a alt history creator named ahosbe suaham makes a alt history timeline about kamala becoming the nominee after a bad debate performance instead from joe biden of this,he is criticized for not being realistic

Day 6:the campaign trail

This is the begging of the campaign trail,so here is how it's going,campaigns,funds and advertising

Brief 2:funds

So the funds are starting to get poured,here is a quick summary,orgeon is getting blasted by Trump money,while Michigan wusconsin and Pennsylvania are getting bashed by mcdough,most of the east coast is getting blasted by trump,while the mountains are getting super boosted by mcdough

Hour 2:major interviews

Mcdough has gotten onto alot of interviews while Trump has campaigned way less hard,mainly fundraising,Trump has a insane advertising advantage,so this is a smart move,mcdough has tried to define himself on issues to try to tack the left back after the Iran war declaration and corporate welfare

Mcdough stratgy works pretty well slightly closing the gap,he manages to not make any fatal errors,at least for the time being,and with the hurricane over and the invasion starting on a good and stable note,overall he started to get a little boost.

Day 7:a week to remember

Mcdough was starting to stop the economic downturn,giving some good news after a while,alpid quesan managed to get a bill through for public works going 56-44 with all the independents and democrats voting for and 3 republicans also voting for,they managed to get unemployment down to 46%,inflation wasn't decreasing which meant there still was a crisis,so don't sleep to soon,this decreases the gap aswell,the new polls are finally in

Percentages:

Dem:48%

Rep:51%

Chances:

Dem:34%

Rep:73%

Tie:2%

Mcdough sends his campaign into overdrive after this news,heading to the ad station to get some fubdrasing,he reaches record fundraising in a week getting 953M$,he uses this to fund a few rallies across the country,Meanwhile the war in Iran is still going on

Hour 2:a Iran to couper

The atelieh government officially declares war on Iran and the US,they say niether of them have actually fully committed to shariah law and the teachings of the Quran,they launch a mountain offensive while doing this,they have very low population because of them only controlling mountains after being pushed out of the west coast,this is known as the battle of somea,atelieh used most of thier forces on this leaving them with low morale and forces if they don't win,they are officially declared a terror group by the US government

Forces:

USA:23,452

Atelieh:53,258

Casulties:

USA:12,341

Atelieh:47,639

Winner:USA,they manage to keep control of thier land

Atelieh left with little forces and a weak goverment slowly shrivels up retreating until they cant,when they finally fight in the deep mountains,in the battle of salia

Forces:

USA:26,348

Atelieh:12,347

Casulties:

USA:23,473

Atelieh:8,236,remaining forces captured

Winner:USA,the atelieh government collapses leaving only small rebel groups pretending to be atelieh left

The real Iranian government continues grouping forces,but with atelieh destroyed,it seems like they could be destroyed any second,the destruction of atelieh has bipartisan support,increasing his approval and increasing his election odds,with only oran left it looks like it could be a sweeping victory in Iran,with mcdough rising trump readies his next rally in Madison Square garden,NY

Hour 3:”a big gaffe,like no one has seen before”

Inside Madison square garden trump is quoting saying that "Puerto Rico is a trash ishland",with large swaths of Latinos swapping sides after these comments,the loses major ground for this racist comment,this officially puts NY and CA out of the swing state catagory and bringing the race even closer,this comment is seen as a obvious joke from right wingers,but overall this is seen as bad

Trump also said that foreign born criminals are worse than our criminals but after a investigation on the person he was criticizing was actually an American,making him seem out of touch and insensitive

Brief 2:leaked documents

Documents for the republican government if they get elected are leaked by a whistle blower,this plan is called "a new governance"and it includes many far right ideas like eliminating social nets,national abortion ban,muslim ban,banning gay marriage,and the border wall,this alienates centrists,trump says he had no idea about the plan but many people call him out for hiring co-authors of this project,mcdough comments saying "Next president of the United states?no."this doesn't hurt trump to much because he isn't directly linked to the document,but many down ballot races are effected much more by this document than trump,so the effects on the house and senate are very large,but trump is hurt only a small amount.

After this,mcdough officially picks his nominee for vice president,it is Wes Moore,he passes the court 7-2 with little opposition,he is a highly experienced figure and a veteran but also has youth appeal and populist appeal,it's a good VP pick,with the stopping of the downturn,the hurricane ending,atelieh collapsing,the VP pick,and the trump scandals,it seems like Sunday is mcdoughs day.

mcdough:"I really wish it was last week and not today,i just wanna sleep,every day,i feel like i could do more,and how there is so much to do,i just....can't”

Day 8:final push

Iran is almost finished off,but at the same time there is now only 8 days till the election,meaning We are half way,with the economy on a good track it is going to be a day of triumph,but it's also going to be a day of testing with new polls flooding in and

Hour 2:Iran

Iran is on the brink of collapse so we must make the final push,They send the mounteh legion to try to take the capital,they reach the suburbs of terhan,bit they are met by a defending force in the battle for friegal

Forces:

USA:27,346

Iran:7,652

Casulties:

USA:23,476

Iran:6,624

Winner:USA,the US now surrounds Terhan getting ready to invade at any moment,it only takes a few months,and a bit of foreign aid until the battle of terhan starts,the battle is bloody,Iran fights with all thier might,the US uses all the force it can,but in the end…

Forces:

USA:3,542

Iran:1,537

Casulties:

USA:2,376

Iran:539 and 976 captured

Winner:USA,Iran is officially defeated,it us aired on every major broadcast and news station,it is officially the end,and with little foriegn aid,this was impressive as well

They meet with afro guld to get a new goverment to be formed and a goverment

Mcdough-”I'm running a stable administration,I will make sure Iran is stable,we can't just run in take out terror and leave,we must give hope and actually spread freedom”

a secratary rushes into the room"sir we found him,osan hussein,is in this house”

Hour 3:a federal design

Trump launches a scandal into air around Mcdough,it's about how he handled veterans in his time In his cabinet,he says that mcdough actually denied veterans Benifits in exchange for cash,this is a big rumor and hurts his credibility by alot,surging trump back ahead in the polls,but just when it's almost over,mcdough sends a brief on the ordeal and manages to destroy the claim,and because trump didn't give evidence This hurts his credibility by an insane amount,swapping back the polls for mcdough

hour 4:it's the economy,stupid

While Iran is done,there is still 1 crisis going on,it's the economic crisis,they need to make sure they can finally save the economy,alpid quesan sends In what he calls “inflation killers” where he intentionally decreases the value of commerce and foriegn trade and also increasing interest to slowly decrease inflation,he manages to send 3 packages of inflation killers before being fillibustered,with unemployment down they now only need to focus on inflation,so they send interest hikes which will slightly hurt unemployment which is why they didn't do it before but it does decrease inflation,this is apart of the second package of inflation killers,with this the crisis is slowing down,And will most likely be over by next day

Brief 2:voting

Early voting is actually looking really good for the dems,with them leading in even alabama a safe red state,but the polls say otherwise,most polls are being flooded in right now and they are primarily republican funded,and they say republicans Still hold landslide predictions,giving dems even lower polling than the early days of mcdough,despite their efforts,based on the snap elections this polling could be inaccurate,so let's see

Approval polls of mcdough:

Approve:63%-13%

Disapprove:44%-67%

Neutral:7%-12%

Popular vote based on all polling:

Mcdough:3%

Trump:97%

Popular vote polling from reliable pollsters:

Day 9:early bird eats the worm

Early voting results are pushing in,the economy is starting to push forward,and with only a week until the election This day feels like a rush hour with nothing happening but a lot of feelings flying around.

Hour 2:economy backup

The economy has reached a all time high of the mcdough presidency,with unemployment at 34% and inflation at 27% the economy is really rolling,wealth inequality is also a big statistic and that's also going down,the economy is going up,meaning trumps attacks on the economy are starting to waver,along with early voting,this also goes along with a average disposable income

Hour 3:the worm

Early voting has been at a all time high in many states,with some of the highest states being the just out of reach 2020 states Of ohio,texas,florida,and Iowa,with the Midwest being barnstormed by mcdough in funding Ohio is actually a big target of the mcdough campaign,despite it going likely red last election,early voting usually leans democrat by an insane margin,but they essentially lead in every state early voting except Oklahoma,with the major events of the day,a new consensus is reached which will definitely benefit the democrats

Brief 2:the predictors concensus

The predictors concensus:Every swing state will go red,and nothing else will change

This is a big change from the begging where NY was expected to flip,giving dems more hope,they also update that the house will flip blue,but by a small margin,and that the popular vote will be by less than 4% and slightly favor trump,senate will also be closer than expected,but still around 8 senate advantage.

Hour 4:Iran chugging on and the bird

Now with Iran officially fully captured,they need to organize a government,so they do,obviously,the centrist party won during the first free Iranian election meaning the first prime minister is afro guld whoch makes sense,he is moderate economics conservative socially and also a war hero,the "centrist"party is just right wing but slightly more moderate,while the right wing party is just full islamist,its iran its not going to be progressive,but this is the first free election since the Sha got into power,and now with a new free government,it's actually pretty stable,getting pretty wide praise,we'll except from people who just want to go there to destroy terror

After all these events,Let's take a look back at the predictors concensus,they have declared that Michigan will go blue and the popular vote is now almost guaranteed blue,but they decide not to change anything else about the concensus

“Take the shot”

Mcdough gives the go ahead to fire at the home,is this really osan hussien?they fire and…he's finally gone,this calls for a mass celebration on the news with even right wingers saying this was good.

Day 10:rep-opened turns

The trump cases are finally being pushed,now it's time for him to get convicted and lose alot of ground in the race or break the charges,destroying the left

Hour 2:the 30 worms

The first hearings are getting started on the 30 felonies in Georgia

He starts off strong with a argument on how he didn't start the January 6th riots,he just talked to a crowd who was ready to,he didn't actually want to overturn the election

His enemy opens With a argument on how he specifically Went next to the whitehouse to do this and told them to fight the results

He said when he said fight he meant to fight against the fake results,not to actually overturn the results

He says that there is no proof and never has been proof so he mislead them into causing a riot which still applies

The jury decides…he is guilty of the overturning charges

His opponent immediately gets prepared for the next charges about hiding federal documents

They open up with how there is recorded evidence he hid federal documents from the biden admin because of a personal feud

Trump dosent have a full response prepared,he decided to pled guilty on the case

He gets a guilty of admission charge,which lowers the penalty but still it is passed through

The jury has filed both the overturning and riots,and the hiding federal documents

Hour 3:re-openings

The case of SA against trump has been re opened with many people showing up as witness and victim

The victims give thier cases,they say He touched them through thier clothes without consent

He says this does not count as SA because it was not sexual and was not in a private area

They say that he did it in a clearly serial way and talked to them before that in a wierd way

The jury does not get a full decision,but it us leaning guilty

Trump says this was around thier legs in a clearly revealed area and it was not done in any way like that

They say that he still did it and it was obviously secual so he can't blame it on them

The jury has officially decided…he is guilty of all 30 charges including rioting,overturning results,hiding documents,and SA

Hour 4:effects

This is a major blow to trump with only his most loyal supporters supporting it,they say this was obviously Left Wingers attacking their political opposition for political reasons to stop him,but others say it was A political because many Republicans voted against him in the case and democrats voted for him,and it wasn't Partisan and they would do this to anyone,this of course boosts mcdough in the polls,now the predictors consensus says he will get nevada,but still he will lose the election but by an extremely close margin,and that he could actually win now

Day 11:foreign problems

China has just called,it says it would not accept this new Iranian government And it would leave the anti Iranian coalition and fight the US if they don't comply,Meanwhile the border is just as crazy as ever with families being Separated and the border overflowing,it's time for foreign policy

hour 2:the ‘border gets ‘broader

The US still needs to deal with the border,mcdough sends his cabinet to amend executive 1572 and remove some of the asylum polices enacted by trump to deal with the border and To stop some orders for deportations,he also really needs to get something to protect the border so he reaches out to the senate and tries to get something passed,trump rallies against it saying some of the things in the bill are removing deportation and asylum policies and how it comes at a heavy price,he manages to rally the vote for 1 round,getting a fillibuster of 56-44 but they manage to compromise on the bill adding some more clauses on getting the border under control and to treat illegal immigrants like criminals but left wingers unite against the bill after this,tjis Forces even more compromise removing the treating illegal immigrants like criminals parts finally passing the bill 64-35 and mcdough obviously passes it turning It into law

Hour 3:”chyna,chyna,chyna”

They finally get at the negotiations table to deal with the crisis,first mcdough goes low but China has high demands so they get Iranian leaders on board against China,China slightly lowers Demands but they still expect more power over Iranian rebuilding,the UN lauches a resolution to try to get everybody to pick a side on who wins,China and the US try to override each other's veto so it goes through,getting voted on and the US easily wins,so China lowers thier demands again but mcdough goes low giving some concessions bur the US still leads rebuilding efforts,they also attempt to get Afghan Officals on thier side and they do but they don't apply pressure to the US and this infuriates the US increasing the US demands,China goes lower meaning they finally have a agreement and they reach a concensus,China remains on the coalition and gain more power but they remain on the side

This is criticized by the right for bowing down to China and their demands but most say that this was necessary to stop any conflict from starting.

Hour 4:foreign trade

Mcdough needs to deal with foreign Trade as well,trumps tariffs are still In place and since the bombing American foriegn trade has gone down 36%,so he immediately sends a bill through against tariffs and removing many trump tariffs,it goes pretty well with 57-43 but then they need to compromise,the only democrat who voted against was Nebraska senator,so he attempts to get him on board but he goes against it still,trump rallies up republicans to vote no meaning on the second vote it goes down 58-42,2 votes away from breaking the filibuster,they get some absolute Tradists on board to remove the tariffs getting it to 59-41,trump continues to rally his supporters to vote no,but then Bernie Attempts to get Nebraska senator back on board which would get the hill passed,he manages to get him to abstain breaking the fillibuster for another negotiations round which mcdough manages to amend the bill to keep China tariffs but remove everything else from trump,tjis finally breaks the filibuster getting the bill passed 61-39 and this finally hikes up trade increasing by 12% and mcdough criticized Trumps comments on tariffs on Mexico and Canada for being reckless and doing nothing.

Who will win?well I leave that to you do decide,based on this,will trump win his victory,or will mcdough make a unprecedented comeback,I leave that,up to you,my friend,thank you for reading.
