It’s not really about helping the Republican Party, it’s more about being against the Democratic Party.

That’s exactly what I was getting at. Just acting like outsiders to serve some cheap, petty interests—honestly, we Americans can be so small-minded...

Just lock everything down and throw the whole thing away

Do you actually have a concrete link or any real evidence for this, or are we just supposed to take the word of "The New York Times"—which, let's face it, seems to adore the Republican Party more than anything else in the world?🙏 On top of all that, they are citing some Mexican agency, the Associated Press.🙏

Could you at least show a little respect and provide something substantial? Where can we actually see that KGK concluded the US was at fault for the crisis? But no, apparently it doesn't matter if the quote was taken out of context, 🙏 it doesn't matter if The New York Times is reporting it, 🙏 and it doesn't matter if they are relying on the Associated Press. 🙏 If the Associated Press claims KGK concluded the US is to blame, then I guess that must be the absolute truth, right?🙏

2. So, who is responsible in your eyes? Is it that clown of a Prime Minister who seems completely lost and can't even keep his own story straight? The kind of leader who starts with one narrative and then immediately pivots to another?

Please, try to be at least as honest as the person claiming that Zoran Milanović is the best thing to ever happen to America. It’s true, he needed some time to truly step out of the shadows, but at least the man speaks plainly about the reality of things. Meanwhile, you keep typing away because you're terrified the Republican Party might regain power—not because you actually love the Democratic Party (heaven forbid), but simply because you view the Republicans as the greater evil.☕

And by the way, just as a quick reminder—Tomislav Karamarković sued Manolica, just so it's noted, since you were so adamant that wouldn't happen.

Anyway, moving on, I've watched two excellent films recently:

Ex Machina — a sci-fi masterpiece, a solid 10/10 for me.
Redirected — a comedy with some wild scenes, also a 10/10.

I considered deleting this post, but I decided against it; I won't dwell on politics anymore, but I simply couldn't resist responding to this specific point. I can certainly talk more about movies, or series—there's a great new one out regarding the subject, Limitless, starring Bradley Cooper.🙏

Rory, honestly, if KGK is constantly bashing the administration, it basically sounds like part of the Republican campaign—you shouldn't really be dismissing that, right? He’s been doing it through this whole situation with the refugees, too. At first, she wanted to put the military on high alert, and she's constantly claiming things are spiraling out of control, just like her boss Tomica. But everything is actually running quite smoothly, even great, really...

As for that shared criticism with Nikolić, if you didn't buy that article from the New York Times, maybe try this one from the Wall Street Journal instead...

What else does that diplomatic language mean if it isn't pointing in the exact opposite direction of the US administration and siding with Nikolić? If I have to spell that out, then there's really no point in talking because we aren't using actual arguments...

Calling the President a clown feels a bit like listening to some pundit on Fox News; I think you're underselling yourself with comments like that, especially since you're usually a cool guy and we root for the same team...👍

Did Karamarkus sue Manolica? Politics is a game where the rules change every single day. It looks like he reacted that way just to try and kill the negative press, but he timed it perfectly so the dispute can't really start or end until after the elections are over. He'll probably drop the lawsuit by then anyway, since he won't need the headlines or the risk of a bad verdict once it's all done...

In my view, for anyone who doesn't want to vote Democrat or Republican, there are still other options, like the Libertarians. Not necessarily because they have a massive platform, but because they seem honest and well-intentioned, especially now that they've brought some real common sense back into the fold...

But if I still feel like the Democrats are the lesser of two evils, I can actually argue that point. Most people who aren't tied to a specific party feel the same way, especially after those chaotic scenes with the gas canisters in the streets and the clashes with police at the White House plaza...

A little comedy for the self-righteous masses

I don't want politics in my shop

The most intense week in soccer right now 🤣

During the third screening, they showed a North Korean film.

So what? I mean, Arena broadcasts their entire league every single weekend anyway 🙂

ae 🙂

Is anyone actually broadcasting kabaddi?

Honestly, they’ve been airing those for a while now—it certainly isn't the first time we've seen them.

I’m out here washing my car when some guy just pulls in cold, parks right where he shouldn't, and walks off... The staff ends up hauling him halfway across town because he skipped the line, wasting fifteen minutes of everyone's time while he throws a fit 🤣 🤣 🤣 meanwhile, those of us actually waiting just sit there watching the clock tick away 🤣

Anyone planning on seeing that new movie about Mars starring Damon? It looks decent enough, though I feel like we've been hit with an exhausting wave of space movies over the last couple of years

It’s hard to imagine anything being more intense than this Odyssey.

How many derbies are happening this weekend? 🙏

Yeah, I actually have to agree with this one.

First we gotta watch Bayern, then Atletico. That’s gonna be the day—the big, big day...

And you completely overlooked Inter - LA Galaxy...

We’ll just have to wait and see how Real Madrid and PSG handle disciplining those guys, and then there's Milan, though naturally, we can't forget about the local favorites...
