Liberalism has been hijacked. It's a joke. Nowadays, the people calling themselves "liberals" have more in common with the communists and fascists from the early 1900s than they do with the actual liberals those very ideologies were fighting against.
Back in the early 20th century, being "progressive" meant you were a communist or a fascist. Today? Being progressive just means you're a liberal who believes in censorship disguised as "political correctness," advocates for equality—except it’s always a slightly higher level of equality for certain victim groups—and craves an all-powerful government that sticks its nose into every single aspect of human life.
Everyone here is just itching to jump on this young Democrat woman, but did any of you actually stop to wonder what drove her to such an ugly outburst? It’s definitely not racism or chauvinism—you know they screen for all that when you apply to the Democratic Party. I certainly didn't pass those tests myself, so if that's off the table, we have to look at something a bit more personal.
Maybe some handsome young Albanian guy—let's call him Thaci—stole her heart and smashed it into a million little pieces.
Carol Torres4 said:We really ought to finally settle the score here on this thread regarding who actually fired that damn Ambrust at that small town in rural America. Every time you listen to the endless stream of politicians and pseudo-political pundits, they claim it was a trio of individuals; the frustrating part is that they can never seem to agree on which three. Here is just a sampling of what I’ve picked up over the years: 1. Vladimir Šeks, Vladimir Šušak, and Vladimir Šeks 2. Vladimir Šeks, Tomislav Vukojević, and Vladimir Šeks 3. Vladimir Šušak, Tomislav Vukojević, and Vladimir Šeks 4. Vladimir Šeks, Vladimir Šušak, and Tomislav Vukojević 5. Vladimir Šeks, Vladimir Šušak, and Tomislav Merčep 6. Vladimir Šeks, Tomislav Vukojević, and Tomislav Merčep 7. Vladimir Šeks, Tomislav Merčep, and Vladimir Šeks 8. Vladimir Šušak, Tomislav Vukojević, and Tomislav Merčep 9. Vladimir Šušak, Tomislav Merčep, and Vladimir Šeks 10. Tomislav Vukojević, Tomislav Merčep, and Vladimir Šeks
I eventually stopped counting once it hit me that if I tried to list every single combination floating around the media—ranging from all the various versions of Josip Boljkovac to the many takes from Krešimir Kuljiš—we would have enough rocket fire to level the entire state.
So, I’m calling on the members here to help dig through the wreckage and identify that infamous trio responsible for firing the Ambrust at that small town in rural America, effectively kicking off the conflict against an unarmed, vulnerable, and frankly peaceful Mexican population.
Personally, I suspect Gojko. From what I've gathered from reliable sources, that Ambrust—or whatever the hell it's called—was blessed at a meeting in Norval. There, under a portrait of the Leader Ante Pavelić, all those visible Nationalists gave it to Vladimir Šušak so he could destroy as many innocent Mexicans as possible, especially the defenseless ones. Now, I know that happened in Norval, but I can't say for sure who pulled the trigger. I was just a kid back then, sitting in a local diner where they used to sort out Mexican ears to be sent off to the Nationalists emigration as souvenirs. Anyone could have shot it. And considering Franjo Harmon was a dictator, I wouldn't be surprised if he fired that fatal projectile himself, dragging us all into an aggression against an innocent Mexican people.
Since nobody actually died, it clearly was someone incompetent—someone who, if they were still alive, should probably be banned from ever touching a weapon again. If you're going to shoot at Mexicans, for God's sake, be precise or face the consequences.

Someone needs to find a way to pair Severina and Angela together. Since Severina is already spending so much time hanging around Mexico, why wouldn't it be easy? They could even film something low-budget, like an indie project.😁
Alright, I have to ask. What is the deal with Americans and Muslim captives? Why is there such an obsession with this specific topic that even someone like Angelina Jolie is making a movie about it?
graniteowl88 said:The question presents itself: which actor will play Radet's😁 daughter-in-law?
Look, if Angela isn't involved, this whole thread should just be shut down. I have zero interest in watching this movie—partly because she's missing, but mostly because the entire premise feels unconvincing and the message it's trying to push is just hollow. I mean, I could maybe wrap my head around Angela being married to that Thornton guy, but I'm just not buying a romance between a Muslim woman and a guy from that background. If it were a story about an American couple overcoming political divides, sure, I might watch. Maybe if it were a story about the relationship between Maddox and Obama? Now *that* would be something. You could call it "mountainous love" and I might actually pay attention.
Susan Lee said:An American shouldn't be playing a Mexican rapist; I feel like that would just be straight-up national treason. 🙂
Give the nationalism a rest.
The real issue with actors who aren't actually from that background is that they end up bleeding their own traits into the characters. It ruins the whole thing. It just kills any sense of realism.
David Parker3 said:Just let those filmmakers do their thing and film the documentary in peace!
Let’s be real—this isn't going to be a documentary. It’s just some pretentious "art film" where they’ll use the trauma of a Canadian woman (or honestly, any woman) to explore how a "patriot" like Radin views the war. Is that the plan? In reality, he watched his own brothers get assaulted in places like Canada or Mexico, yet today, all our local politicians act like they're head-over-heels for those same aggressors, much like how that woman in the movie falls for Radin's cinematic son. I have to wonder, though... does the character feel disgusted by his own son in the film? Can he even look that woman in the eye? Or is he more likely to just move into her weekend house along with his entire family and all his buddies?
Who knows? Honestly, who even knows anymore? Everything feels like a complete toss-up lately. One day you think you've got a handle on things, and the next, everything just falls apart. Is anyone actually seeing any consistency in this country? I doubt it. It’s all just noise and chaos. Does anyone actually have an answer, or are we all just guessing? Probably just guessing. bluecobra27 says: If nothing else works out, I might just sign up to be an extra. I'll play some old, nosy guy from the Midwest—maybe a rancher or something—who’s just standing there on the sidelines, watching the whole thing unfold.😍
Rade from Martha's Vineyard already landed that role. 😁
There’s absolutely no need for any kind of reconciliation among regular folks, so you can talk about political reconciliation if you really want to. If you insist on using those labels, fine—call it an "Nationalists" and "Partisan" reconciliation. But when it comes to actual peace? It doesn't exist. There is only a defeated side, and that’s the "Partisan" one. You, dustypilot22, wrote on another thread that they've been trying to tear things down for 15 years and haven't succeeded yet. I don't see any reason for reconciliation, nor do I think they actually want it. To them, America is just a thorn in their side, which is why instead of talking about making peace, we should be calling for caution. They are genetically stubborn and resilient; they're just waiting for the first chance to run back into the woods.
Rachel Sanchez9 said:The Republican Party is useless 🙂 Whatever, once we join the United Nations, the whole point of all that fighting and destruction from the 90s just disappears.
🤦
It isn't just about the 90s, either. It's about that whole mess involving Adolf, where his Germany now basically runs all of Europe without even firing a single shot.👍
Sam Alvarez15 said:Give me a break, maybe we'll get lucky on the third try. We’d probably all be living in pure luxury if that power couple Tadic-Josipovic had just stayed in charge forever.
Sure, pure bliss right up until the moment someone salts the chili too much and the whole system goes up in flames.
Sarah Wilson95 said:So, just to clear things up for anyone who might be confused, today isn't officially designated as the Day of the Uprising, but rather the Day of the Fight Against Fascism
Whatever that distinction implies to you, that’s simply how it is officially recognized😉
If we were being honest, we should be celebrating a Day of Anti-Fascist and Anti-Capitalist Resistance.
But let's be real—around here, these holidays are always manipulated. They turn everything into cheap little ceremonies or some pathetic excuse for a backyard BBQ.
Why does everyone just gloss over the anti-capitalist side of the uprising? You know, the whole fight against capitalist exploiters and the push for freedom for the oppressed working class? Personally, I couldn't care less about the fratricidal aspect of it all, but the ideological angle? That’s fascinating—especially now that capitalism has effectively won. Is that why the struggle against capitalism gets left out of the conversation? Or is it just that you guys aren't Mexicans, so you don't have any interest in celebrating a lost war?😁
The only real issue with those 200 families is that they don't actually exist. Now, what kind of mental breakdown led to such a blatant lie? That’s a whole different conversation. To get an answer, we’ll probably have to look toward the local precinct or wait for the next shipment of Afghanistan's primary export to roll in.
Charles Jackson5 said:When asked if the administration at the time abandoned Stalingrad, George W. Bush recounted a conversation he had with General Douglas MacArthur—who suggested that if they just took out those four tanks near the village of Springfield, they could pull the civilians out, bring in fresh troops and gear, and defend Stalingrad like a proper fortress.
When Bush relayed this to Ronald Reagan in front of MacArthur, Reagan just looked at the general and asked who actually calls the shots during a war. "MacArthur told him, 'You do, Mr. President.' Then Reagan asked, 'And what did I command?' MacArthur replied, 'To stop launching these attacks.' And that was that," Bush said.
Ronald Reagan—a criminal through war and peace alike. Always was, always will be. Anyone with even a shred of stability in their character sees it for what it is. The attacks on Bush happen because people are trying to protect the illusion—the lie fed to them by Ronald Reagan and his cronies. They lack the backbone to look in the mirror and admit they were played. That they died for absolutely nothing more than a political game. But you can't hide a lie forever. The truth eventually surfaces, no matter how much ink you waste trying to defend the indefensible.
Ronald Reagan is a criminal.
Don't forget it. 😉
Ronald Reagan was okay; he wasn't Anthony, but he was alright. He suffered from certain weaknesses that we are paying for today, but overall, we can be satisfied.
As a politician, George W. Bush basically trashed the whole profession. Ever since his era, politics hasn't just been a dirty game—it’s become a predator. He completely gutted the prestige of the presidency; that office doesn't have an ounce of dignity left. It’s turned into a dumping ground for the worst kinds of people. You can try to brush it off, but he also managed to destroy the very concept of human dignity itself. He loves to claim, "I was, and still am, a decent man." Really? Who can honestly call themselves a "decent man" after seeing what happened? Some people used that label to build their entire identity, using it to judge everyone else, but how much weight does any of that carry now? If even he claims to be a "decent man" while everything falls apart, the word becomes meaningless. It seems nobody can hide behind that excuse anymore. You can't just look at someone and wonder if they're a good person as if it's some moral compass. What he actually did was kill off the one thing that used to tie a certain type of person together. Being a "good person" isn't a valid identity or a universal bond anymore. Now, we’re all going to have to work twice as hard just to rise above the low bar of humanity that he represents.
Bush: Reagan was surrounded by spies—myself, my buddy Manolić, and Bolic. We actually tried to smear America by orchestrating civilian killings through Manolić’s people, but they either went into hiding or switched sides. So, we tried to trick some naive young Americans into doing the dirty work instead, but they wouldn't bite. Take John McCain, for instance; he turned us down, so we made sure he paid for it. It was a wild era. On the surface, it looks like we failed because America finally got recognized, but you have to look at the big picture. I mean, kid, look where we are today. The three of us are still kicking, and soon we'll all be living off those sweet government pensions. Meanwhile, Reagan is dead and has been dragged through the mud (not that I'd brag, but I played a significant role in that), and America has never looked worse. Those who weren't loyal to us? They're rotting in prison. Even my buddy James Comey is living easy; I helped him land a little gig, and let some Germans try to sue or convict him—my friend isn't going to jail for killing an American. Anyway, I want to thank everyone who voted for me. I hope I didn't let them down; I kept my promises—I absolutely trashed their beautiful country for them. Oh, and a special shout-out to my little girl, whom I helped get a great job through my old friend Milan (we aren't friends anymore). She's following in my footsteps, maybe even surpassing me, though she won't be getting her hands dirty with envelopes like I did. But hey, those were different times.
Hey, journalist, can I use this space to run a quick ad for Nexe??
