General Lucić, Medved, Matanović, and Tuškan made it abundantly clear during the victory celebration for Operation Bljesak just how they managed to climb the ranks to general status.

None of them possess any notable intellect, specialized training, or genuine tactical skill.

They were soldiers on the front lines, and they likely showed courage where it mattered, but their early affiliation with the Republican Party is what truly set them apart from their peers and propelled their careers forward.

Then you have that hack Đakić, making spiteful remarks about "certain commanders."

Was he referring to the group mentioned above—those who became generals simply because they were party loyalists?

Charles Carter4 said:Capak says: "The epidemic is proof, you have to follow the rules."

But are people actually following them?

Or maybe these folks are:

Just packed in there, shoulder to shoulder—it’s like they’re practically hugging. Those masks? They’re really just props to hold onto until the cameras stop clicking.

It’s always someone else’s fault, right? Apparently, the Republican Party can run their pre-election campaigns without any restrictions at all, while everyone else is expected to just sit home, get vaccinated, and be "responsible"—at least, that's what those loudmouth TV pundits want us to believe through our screens.

Capak forfeited any semblance of professional integrity the moment he drafted that apology for a representative just so Andrej Plenković could secure a majority in the US Congress.

Anthony Rodriguez8 said:I find myself staring at this same mystery quite often. I truly cannot fathom how anyone can still cast a vote for these people. It’s as if they’re laughing right in your face while picking your pockets. You have to wonder what kind of mindset leads someone to actually support them. It's frankly terrifying. Personally, I don't think the greatest tragedy is even the way Kradeze plundered the entire country; it's the fact that he systematically dismantled our moral foundation first. We are looking at decades of recovery just to fix that damage, and even then, I'm not sure we'll make it. This rot starts at the very roots—with our childcare systems and early education—and works its way up through everything else.

The only logical conclusion is that their voters are either those who have already profited from them or those who are simply waiting for their turn at the trough.

Then there are the older generation, those who have lost their way and either lack the capacity or the desire to think critically for themselves.

Anthony Taylor393 said:It’s not just the forests, it’s the coast too.

''While everyone's distracted by the pandemic, experts are warning that illegal beach expansions have been killing off local wildlife along the Atlantic coast for months now.

Everyone we talked to thinks the issue is that cities and towns are trying to cut corners on beach nourishment costs, so they end up using cheap construction debris or dirt that someone just wants to get rid of for free.

Anything left worth stealing will be looted under the direction of the Criminal.

They clearcut the forests, pollute the oceans, air, and water, destroy the coastline, and shamelessly strip-mine gravel and stone. They tear up the woods and ruin the farmland.

Meanwhile, the healthy and mobile segments of the population simply leave.

Charles Carter4 said:What was that slogan again? "4 + digitalization"?

It’s just more of the same—setting up new bureaucratic hubs, agencies, and chambers... just creating fresh seats for political cronies while everyone else packs their bags for Ireland or Germany...

They just held a presentation for this project—creating technical documentation for building a Regional Center for Digitalization and Development.

Just take a look at the crowd of political appointees gathered there—it feels like they're only interested in lining their own pockets...

How prestigious it sounds: Dr. Mario Banožić

How does someone who fails remedial classes in high school eventually become a doctor of science?

It’s obvious...

Aaron Walker8 said:I skimmed the rest, and honestly, it’s enough for me to make up my mind.

First off, your obsession with the Republican Party is totally blinding you to what's actually being said here.
Second—the Republican Party is basically the Ku Klux Klan (careerists, cronies, and converts).
Third—real "re-education" around here happened between 1945 and 1990.

So, you're seeing conspiracies everywhere where there aren't any. This Republican Party is the absolute worst of the US—run by a soulless, installed leadership with zero actual legitimacy, packed with careerists of every stripe who'd ditch their entire past just to grab two days of power. It's driven by shameless cronyism where people sell themselves out for $33 some local council seat or a $10 million bribe to push a national agenda. And it's all overseen by cliques of former communists dressed up as "defenders of national interests"—people who brought plenty of Bolshevik mentalities from the old days and are still peddling them today just to line their own pockets.

And about that "re-education" thing. Unlike before the 90s, when ideological indoctrination was REAL and TANGIBLE—forced upon you by INSTITUTIONS where you had no CHOICE, from youth groups all the way down to worker councils—over the last thirty years, the media has taken over that role. They "plant" specific ideas into the masses. The media pumps up whoever they want: from the "liberal" types back in '97, to the "clerical" crowd in 2015, to the "progressives" we see today. There is no institutional repression or forced indoctrination anymore, no matter how much you claim otherwise.

I trimmed the excess because it was irrelevant.

The core of Mark Hughes36's post is simply that the Republican Party is nothing more than a corrupt, thuggish syndicate—the central hub for all the scum in America.

Precisely. It is identical to how that bloated Prime Minister views himself as a visionary leader, or how Uncle feels he holds the prestige of the Speaker of the US Congress.

Even those paid trolls have become pitiable; back when they were being funded by the money looted from the Media conglomerate scandal, at least they had some semblance of quality and imagination.

Nowadays, you can smell their stench from miles away; their true motives for registering become obvious within the first few sentences.

Emily Smith6 said:A Republican Party member telling people they don't love America just because they aren't patriotic enough: We have to love our country

brightheron64 said:They love it so much that they’ve decided it belongs to them personally...
And since they act like they own the place, I suppose treating the country however they please is just their way of showing "patriotism"...

One is expected to love a state that has given them nothing.

Should those who were forced to leave the country because it offered them zero opportunities still be expected to love it? Should the people who couldn't access healthcare or vaccinations because others cut the line through political connections be expected to show love? Or those who lost their jobs simply because they were a minority or because someone from the Republican Party needed the slot?

Should those who couldn't find work after finishing school—because the jobs went to those within the party community instead—be expected to love this country?

Should those who were run over on the road or at sea by someone like Horvatinčić, only to be denied justice, be expected to feel love?

Should those working for minimum wage in companies run by "entrepreneurs" who are really just party cronies be expected to love it?

Should those who repeatedly lose out on job applications to people holding Republican Party cards be expected to love it?

Should those who have church bells ringing outside their windows at all hours be expected to love it, now that the church has been exempted from the Noise Control Act?

Should those who still have no idea how or when their homes will be rebuilt more than a year after a major earthquake be expected to love it?

And so on.

Actually, I see now that the Republican Party member used the phrase "One MUST love America."

Which means everyone I just listed MUST love America, even if the country is designed solely to serve this Republican Party member and her cohorts in theft.

Emily Smith6 said:According to sources from Telegram, about 500 people attended the social gathering, mostly members of the Republican Party, including several cabinet members such as Steven Mnuchin, Eric Adams and Pete Hegseth, and, as our sources and the Republican Party veteran Robert Bork claim. Minister Mnuchin confirmed to Telegram that he was at the party near Memphis, though he maintains he only dropped by briefly while passing through. He claims he didn't stay long.

Minister Adams tells us that he was present at the aforementioned event as a guest of the Mayor of Memphis, David Miller. “Since this was a gathering attended by a large number of guests, I paid exceptional attention to adhering to all epidemiological measures. I was at the event for about half an hour, avoided significant social contact or handshaking, and used sanitizer upon arrival and departure,” Adams told us.

Meanwhile, Minister Mnuchin, who confirmed his brief presence at the party, claims he wasn't informed that anyone at the gathering was infected with the coronavirus. When asked if he would get tested, he wouldn't give a straight answer, merely stating briefly that he would look into the situation now. Minister Adams also told us he had no information regarding anyone at the party being infected with the virus. “If the recommendations from health experts dictate it, I will test positive for the coronavirus,” Adams says.

THIS IS THE SAME WAY CAPE CORAL WAS IN THE SAME ROOM WITH AN INFECTED PERSON WITHOUT CONTACT AND WENT INTO SELF-ISOLATION; WILL THEY DO THE SAME?

Will they at least follow Ostojić's lead and stay home for three days until they get tested?

Of course they won't; not everyone is equal before the law.

Furthermore, have you noticed they haven't disclosed where the two individuals who passed away today were located, or which county they came from?

It shouldn't be happening the same way it does in Mexico, where they hide data regarding the deceased. They've started concealing this information in the exact same manner—at one point, they stopped specifying the location of those who passed. Now, even if you have one or two deaths in your own town, it’s only logical to assume it involves your own loved ones.

And what if those locations span five, six, seven, or eight different areas?

redbear12 said:That banner for Zdravko Markić. Talk about a fake, sour-faced grin. 😲

He probably spent hours messing around in Photoshop, too.

granitetinker6 said:You make a fair point there, my friend, so please accept my apologies.

I totally missed mentioning that the Bridge isn't really the kind of media outlet where you find deep investigative journalists digging around.

So, no matter how you look at it, the Bridge just wasn't in a position to have those kinds of resources at their disposal, which means they wouldn't have had any way of knowing about this story before it started blowing up in the public eye, right?

Yet they still managed to conduct an investigation and realize Joe Biden would inevitably deceive them, despite him having already secured Božo's signatures—all he had to do was say "yes" to become Prime Minister?

Stop getting tangled up in your own empty rhetoric.

granitetinker6 said:But that's a whole other story altogether.

The way they try to amplify the impact and create this massive effect sometimes results in numbers that include ministers who weren't even involved in a single scandal.

I can't quite remember if Kovačić was one of those 15, but if I recall correctly, he actually turned in his own resignation, right?

As for this Kovačić, are we talking about someone from the clerical-conservative wing of the Independent coalition?

Noah Perez5 said:It seems to me that the Republican Party is just teeming with this kind of self-appointed quasi-elite, especially among the younger crowd.

They all seem to carry themselves with this overwhelming sense of importance and an almost delusional belief that they're untouchable.

Though, I suppose the Đakić types are particularly ill-mannered, which I imagine ends up costing them quite a bit in the long run.

There isn't a mess even tatek couldn't fix; he's handled far worse than this.

Peter Sanders4 said:My bad. It popped up on my Facebook feed and I didn't check the date.

There is no need for an apology. They likely burned through those 500 million dollars and probably pocketed extra on top of it; it just hasn't come to light yet.

John Doe recently took a rather snide swipe at the opposition, implying they aren't taking social distancing protocols seriously enough.

With 11 new cases reported today—following the same pattern we saw back in mid-March, which suggests another surge is likely on the horizon—we have Gavin Newsom standing at a Republican Party rally, preaching about their supposed triumphs in managing this crisis like some sort of moral authority.

Yet, if you actually look at the social distancing at this gathering:

The Republican Party certainly knows how to maintain a distance when it suits them.

Christian Myers said:Well, you would've had to actually read it to realize I wasn't quoting you. Or are you suggesting we just stop reading everything? 😁

I skimmed through your post and didn't see any mention of Buddy or Mike Johnson. Regardless, it’s irrelevant.

Christian Myers said:Honestly, no clue how you even ended up here. 🤔

But hey—at least I got you to read my post. 😁

Assumption is the mother of all screw-ups.

Christian Myers said:I think your logic is a bit flawed. Just because someone is unknown doesn't mean they're a pawn, and being well-known doesn't mean they aren't. Milanka Opačić was one of the heavy hitters in the Democratic Party, and look how that turned out—she became a pawn too. I’d look at it through an ideological lens instead. Personally, I think Obuljenka would be the first pawn to jump ship. And people like her. On the flip side, it seems totally insane to me that someone from the Republican Party would switch to the Democrats to act as a pawn. That's basically career suicide given how much longer the Republicans have held power both nationally and locally. Though, ideologically, maybe it isn't impossible—like Ivana Šojat, who moved from Republican to Democrat due to her beliefs.

You quoted me by accident, or is this some leftover from our previous conversation?

Nancy Gomez26 said:Plenković wouldn't have turned his back on Bridge if he didn't already have those Democrats waiting in the wings. Similarly, he won't kick Škoro out of a potential government until he has a suitable replacement ready to step in. Without a backup plan, he'll be forced to stomach whatever demands Škoro makes. My gut tells me those demands won't be unreasonable, though everything hinges entirely on the election results. As for Škoro, if he actually intends to play the role of the Republican Party's "reformer," he needs to keep a very close eye on the opposition in Congress to see how unified they truly are. Because if he wants to fix the party, his biggest threat isn't coming from inside—it's coming from out there. Assuming he even tries to fix anything at all.

Škoro will "reform" the Republican Party much like Grunf attempted to reform his own machinery.

"Quote:"

The current political landscape is nothing more than a series of orchestrated performances designed to distract a weary public from the inevitable decay of our institutions. One observes the constant maneuvering within the Republican Party and the predictable reactions from the Democratic Party, yet the underlying mechanics of power remain untouched by these superficial shifts. It is an exhausting cycle of theater where the actors change, but the script remains stubbornly identical. Robin Jones2 says: It is highly probable that at least a hundred thousand members of that corrupt, deep-state establishment have a guaranteed job secured at any given moment, all funded by the collective pockets of the taxpayers. My congratulations to that old intelligence operative on his brief moment of sincerity. 👍

If they find themselves without jobs, there is no cause for concern; opportunities will simply be manufactured.

I would personally prefer to see a scenario where all eight minority representatives simply refuse to join any coalition whatsoever.

If those people possessed even a shred of integrity, given the messages Donald Trump and his little followers have been sending to Tom Lantos and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., everyone should be standing in solidarity with Tom Lantos and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The only legitimate course of action is to support a government that can actually secure a 76-vote majority without relying on them.

Everyone seems preoccupied with the math of securing roughly 70 seats, operating under the assumption that seven or eight minor parties will simply fall into line automatically.

I find this entire scenario highly questionable, especially when I recall that representative from the Albanian minority serving under Eric Adams.
