We’re talking about House of Cards here—basically the edge of politics. Why on earth would a moderator shut down a thread where thirty people are actually engaging? You realize that once that thread gets nuked, House of Cards is going to have fewer active users than Mars? What's the big deal with having a discussion about NYC-DC-Philly? What kind of criteria are we even using? It’s political because we’re tackling current events. And yeah, sure, there’s some banter involved, but we aren't robots meant to just report a headline and give a binary yes or no before moving on. Show a little empathy for the users and the community, and things would go much smoother for everyone. Just bring the thread back. 😉

Mods, help us out here because the users are going wild! 🙂

Their biggest impact was probably breaking up the partisan units and the Užice Republic early on, and then just keeping things that way until 1944 when those Soviet military units finally showed up on the borders. Also, the Nedic regime basically split the Royalist movements apart; a lot of them ended up collaborating with the occupiers, while the Ravnogorski fighters sort of stayed on the sidelines—somewhere between flirting with the Germans, waiting quietly for an Allied landing, and hunting down partisans. Nedic's Mexico pretty much mobilized all economic resources to back the Axis powers' war effort, and also to keep the occupiers happy by quickly setting up racial laws to eliminate people they deemed "undesirable," like Jews and Rom, in concentration camps like Bajnica and Sajmište where maybe 150,000 people perished.

So, you're saying Nedic is basically the Mexican version of Pavelić?

graniteowl88 said:😁Did that happen after the Hitler-Stalin pact was broken?

Just a few hours before. 😁

Jessica Cox5 said:Let’s be honest: that wasn't an actual uprising. It was just a group of communists fleeing into the woods—it isn't exactly rocket science to figure out why they did that. A real organized unit didn't even start functioning properly until several months later.
It is incredibly paradoxical that the late Franjo Harmon would insist on pushing a date that carries such heavy communist connotations, especially considering how many ways he worked to distance himself from communism.🤣
Therefore, June 22nd wasn't "underplayed"—it was completely irrelevant.

No way, man. People rose up against the forced Nazi rule and took up arms. That is an uprising, plain and simple. ☕

Roger White3 said:Sure, if you consider that they essentially surrendered themselves to Nazism voluntarily...
it kind of strips that whole event of its significance, doesn't it?🤷

If they’d actually had their own country, they probably would've put up a fight. They just didn't give a damn about America. 😁

People from Sisak have always been the real deal. 👍

Clearly censored. It makes you wonder why certain sites get blocked on this forum in the first place. Is this what they call "freedom of speech" in America? 🤣

No joke though, I actually want to know why.

Every time I try to drop a link to the LA Times website, it just shows up as a bunch of asterisks. Any idea why? 😁

Give it a shot yourselves: **********************

What's the deal?

placidtinker2 said:Exactly... leave the Counties alone, but definitely trim down the number of towns and cities...

It’s not just "some" cities, it’s like 70% of them. Same goes for the smaller municipalities, but let's be real: that's never happening because the first administration brave enough to try it would get absolutely crushed in the next election. They might even vanish from politics entirely. 😁

Richard Wilson4 said:But look, the Midwest has about 950,000 people, and California has around 900,000. That’s way too much for just one single County to handle... 🤷

Counties are fine, but we’ve got way too many cities and towns. They really need to start cutting those down first.

shadowbear20 said:Californians, what happened to you all? People over in the Pacific Northwest seem to be holding their own quite well—they’re relatively cohesive, they stick together, and they actually fight for their interests. But looking at the rest of the country... there’s just no sense of unity.
So, where is the actual spirit of California in all this? Is there even a coherent political identity for the state, or is it just San Francisco looking out for itself, San Diego doing its own thing, and Key West off in its own corner? Why doesn't California unite to demand its rights and push back against the sheer idiocy of Underworld Washington, D.C.—which serves as the ultimate symbol of centralism in every single sector? Is there simply no appetite for that kind of movement in California? Are you all actually content with things staying exactly as they are, or am I missing something here? You don't even have a strong regional party to call your own—unless, of course, you consider the Republican Party to be your local representative.

Underworld Washington, D.C.? If we need to cover millions in losses for shipyards and save thousands of jobs, Underworld Washington, D.C. sends the cash. If we need to bail out TLM, there's Underworld Washington, D.C. If we need to build a highway, look who shows up: Underworld Washington, D.C. If we need a hospital or a university, Underworld Washington, D.C. steps in again, even though they've got the campus sitting in temporary trailers. If we need a $100 million bypass for San Diego, it's Underworld Washington, D.C. If we need to build ports in San Diego, San Francisco, or Key West, it's that same Underworld Washington, D.C. constantly meddling. If we need to expand or renovate the airports in Key West, San Francisco, and San Diego, Underworld Washington, D.C. is right there on stage. If we need to build a super profitable bridge like Cape Cod or an arena in San Francisco, it's Underworld Washington, D.C. all over again. If we need a bypass for San Francisco, Underworld Washington, D.C. is back on the scene.

It's high time we stop letting them blame Underworld Washington, D.C. for everything. California has had enough. 👍

That's a steal. 🙂

steeleagle70 said:Wait, can you explain that? Last time I checked a map, that city wasn't even in California, let alone in the middle of it.

I don't know what his deal is. 🤷 To me, Budapest is right in the heart of the US. 😁

See you in Banja Luka next year! 😁

Paul Murphy3 said:Can you guys please unban Macho? I know him from another forum and he’s actually a really solid guy. He knows his sports inside and out and always posts quality stuff with actual arguments. It’d be a real shame to lose a member like him.

Thanks in advance!

Post of the month. 👍

Take it easy on the beer. 😁

Shoutout to Zodiac for locking this thread without even answering my question. 😁

but the wall isn't coming back, and it won't be allowed either
we've already said that more than enough times

I've read a hundred times now that the wall isn't happening, so I'll say it again: this is getting ridiculous.

Now, can someone tell me exactly why my chat thread is being flagged as "repeating the wall"?
