Is Valkism and use of Valkist symbolism banned in this TL Germany like Nazism is in our TL Germany?
Yeah. They weren't quite as brutal as OTL Nazis, but they were still around as bad as OTL Milosevic, so they got banned
Huh. There has to be some way to edit it in wikipedia.
Does anybody know how to change the colors for "list of PMs/Presidents" in wikipedia?
Yeah, just find the thing that says "{{Party name/meta/color}}" and replace it (including the brackets) with a color hex value (including the #)
I know it was a joke and all, but I know someone who bought plane tickets to Nevada to storm Area 51.I couldn't resist

The not not fun part is that in fact real people are really thinking about doing this.

This is particularly awesome because I’m actually descended from the Comptons. Somewhere along the line we ended up in some holler in West Virginia, so this timeline seems to have worked better for us
Vote on the Impeachment of President North
House: 275 - 160
Senate: 72 - 28 (Warner, Snowe, Collins, and Lugar vote to convict)
The impeachment of President North was quite the opposite to that of President Clinton in 1999; both houses easily voted to convict the president for his numerous high crimes and misdemeanors. The public could not stand the brutality of seeing Korean children burning alive from our cruel bombs. The American people demanded that the Congress make an example of the Republicans, who seemed to endorse and encourage North’s erratic behavior until it went overboard. In his true fashion, former President North had to be forced out of the Blair House by the Secret Service; perhaps trying to outdo putting $10 million into the wrong Swiss bank account for his most embarrassing moment.
After the chaos of a daddy’s boy, a centenarian white supremacist, and a felon, the 46th President was supposed to mark a return to normalcy. After all, quite a few good ol’ Dixiecrats voted to impeach because Zell Miller was “one of us.” The primary issue Miller faced upon taking office was that neither party really knew whether he was a Democrat or a Republican. It seemed to change depending on how popular he was on the given day. Miller viewed himself as being in the mold of John F. Kennedy, yet he had stood behind Oliver North throughout the 2000s and backed the religious right’s agenda. By the first few weeks of his term, the Democrats had largely abandoned the president who they saw as a possible ally. Regardless of what party the people saw him as, Miller was a lame duck refusing to run for re-election.

Thurmond abandoned his white supremacist views in the 80s, so more like just "centenarian". I'm curious to know the context behind McCain and Specter switching parties, though.Vote on the Impeachment of President North

Thurmond may have acquiesced to the end of segregation, but he never explicitly repudiated his racist views.
Alexander Hamilton (January 11, 1755 – February 2, 1808) was an American statesman, financier, lawyer, and soldier who served as the second Consul of the United States from 1797 to his resignation in 1804 and as the de-facto regent of the nation, presiding over the Regency Council as its President from 1802 to 1804. He was an influential interpreter and promoter of the U.S. Constitution, as well as the founder of the nation's monarchy, financial system, the Whig Party, the United States Navy, and the United States Coast Guard. As Consul, Hamilton led the nation against France in the Franco-American War with mediocre success, later facing internal insurrection in the form of the Yeoman's Rebellion. Before being chosen as Consul, Hamilton served as the first Secretary of the Treasury and took the lead in in the federal government's funding of the states' debts, as well as establishing a national bank, a system of tariffs, and friendly trade relations with Britain. His vision included a strong central government led by a vigorous executive branch, a constitutional monarchy, a strong commercial economy, a national bank and support for manufacturing, and a strong military.
Hamilton was born out of wedlock in Charlestown, Nevis. He was orphaned as a child and taken in by a prosperous merchant. When he reached his teens, he was sent to New York to pursue his education. He took an early role in the militia as the American Revolutionary War began. In 1777, he became a senior aide to General Washington in running the new Continental Army. After the war, he was elected as a representative from New York to the Congress of the Confederation. He resigned to practice law and founded the Bank of New York.
Hamilton was a leader in seeking to replace the weak national government under the Articles of Confederation; he led and successfully lobbied the attempt to install a constitutional monarchy, inviting Prince Henry of Prussia to serve as the nation's first monarch after the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. He helped ratify the Constitution by writing 51 of the 85 installments of The Federalist Papers, which are still used as one of the most important references for constitutional interpretation.
After winning a seat in the inaugural Congress, Hamilton led the Treasury Department as a trusted member of Consul Washington's first Cabinet. Hamilton successfully argued that the implied powers of the Constitution provided the legal authority to fund the national debt, to assume states' debts, and to create the government-backed Bank of the United States. These programs were funded primarily by a tariff on imports, and later by a controversial whiskey tax. He mobilized a nationwide network of friends of the government, especially bankers and businessmen, which became the Whig Party. A major issue in the emergence of partisan politics was the Jay Treaty, largely designed by Hamilton in 1794. It established friendly trade relations with Britain, to the chagrin of France and supporters of the French Revolution.
In 1796, Hamilton would organize a successful congressional campaign on behalf of the Whigs in the year's elections, being chosen by his fellow party members as the second Consul of the nation and invited by Henry I to form a Cabinet. Hamilton's first ministry would preside over the escalation of tensions with the French Republic and the build-up of the Army and Navy. After calling a snap election in 1799 to reaffirm public support for the growing tensions against France, he would lead the nation into the Franco-American War shortly thereafter. The war would prove to be an administrative and military quagmire for both sides, with the beginning stages of the war largely being fought over the sea. French leader Napoleon Bonaparte would utilize the Peace of Amiens to send a land expedition in 1802 to break the stalemate.
In the midst of the war, Henry I would die in August of 1802 and Hamilton would utilize the situation for his own political benefit, cancelling planned royal elections per the Constitution in favor of a regency council packed with Hamilton's political allies and himself as its president. This would establish Hamilton as the de-facto monarch, leading to many critics in Congress to reprimand Hamilton as a dictator and a tyrant. Internal dissent would continue to increase as Hamilton signed the controversial Alien and Sedition Acts into law, establishing tight restrictions on immigration and establishing criminal punishments for anyone who made false statements criticizing the government.
An anti-government riot would eventually envelop the city of Baltimore, and the Army's violent response which involved the killing and imprisonment of numerous unarmed rioters would spark a nationwide rebellion in the autumn of 1803. The Yeoman's Rebellion would encapsulate large swathes of the western and southern frontier, preventing U.S. troops from engaging with French armies stationed within the area. Four state governments (Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and North Carolina) would declare themselves independent of the government's authority, refusing to support the Hamiltonian government in the Franco-American War. The rebellious state governments attempted to convene at Nashville, but sectional tensions and the refusal of Thomas Jefferson to accept a central position within the rebel government caused the Nashville Convention to fail, resulting in the Yeomen's Rebellion remaining disunited and unorganized.
Amid internal rebellion, a declining war with France, a war-weary and politically charged populace, and a hostile Congress on the verge of issuing a vote of no confidence in his government, Hamilton would formally resign from public office on March 11, 1804. He would retire to his estate in Manhattan politically discredited, humiliated, and a social outcast. Hamilton would die of heart failure in 1808.
Hamilton's reputation has been extremely controversial throughout the years, and has become a favorite topic of discussion for historians within the period. Praised for his role in crafting the modern framework of the country and founding the nation's monarchy, he is often defended by historians within the "Hamiltonian" wing, focusing on his pre-consul achievements and his relatively progressive stances on issues such as slavery and economics. Historians within the "Revisionist" wing criticize Hamilton for his tyrannical actions as Consul, censoring freedom of speech, needlessly escalating tensions with France, bringing the nation to the brink of collapse, and his elitist stances on democracy and economics. He is sometimes referred to as one of the nation's Founding Fathers, but his controversial reputation has prevented him from reaching the same mythical status as other contemporaries of his period such as George Washington or Benjamin Franklin.
