Long live Living Communism and socialist self-management under the leadership of Dr. Ivo Sanders and the Republican Party!

Are you actually sure you know what you're talking about?

Adam Collins4 said:Look, it's true that Chafee is incredibly smooth... and yeah, the conflict of interest commission did flag him... but since that commission is basically just a party committee at this point—not that I’m getting too deep into the weeds here—

You’re completely ignoring the reality that Chafee had highly successful businesses long before all this... he was actually one of the most capable managers out there...

Meanwhile, you've got people running the entire USA who were absolute nobodies before they entered government service, and their only real claim to fame is managing failed companies overseas...

Don't be an idiot. That Commission was headed by Nenad Stazic, who's a member of that Democratic Party... you know, the ones with the initials... Democratic Party: The Ethics Commission has indisputably confirmed that companies owned by Chačić or his wife, Mary, secured 63 contracts with state agencies totaling roughly $32 million. But hey, when it’s Chačić, it’s clearly not a conflict of interest, right? Especially since he told the Commission they were just a "bunch of idiots"... The Commission has even filed formal complaints regarding several of those deals...
Of course not, since we're dealing with your useless, toxic political hacks. If it were about "my" Ivan, he’d be trying to get a PhD on the subject—especially since you already have one in the bag...

Here's a little more...
Josip Leko from the Democratic Party gave an extensive and well-argued speech at... Catholic Radio Here we have a dangerous criminal hiding behind a sharp suit. As the Governor of Varaždin County and a former Secretary of Housing, Radimir Čačić ran afoul of the Conflict of Interest Law when his companies under the Coning group secured twelve contracts worth $20 million from the very department he used to run. Now, he’s been ordered to publish a public notice in the Varaždin County official gazette—where he currently holds office—to admit to this breach. Leko exposed the little trick Čačić played: he essentially self-reported to the Ethics Commission, asking them to decide if handing over ownership and management of his firms to someone else actually cleared him of a conflict. It was nothing more than a smoke screen to hide the real corruption from the public. If that’s not the truth, then Leko says Radimir Čačić needs to release the full, unredacted report written by the federal Conflict of Interest Commission...

You clearly forgot that Chačić had a string of successful companies long before all this... He was actually one of the most effective managers out there...

Of course, he still owes money in San Francisco, San Diego, and Israel—that much is common knowledge. And it’s not like he defaulted for some legitimate reason; he straight-up swindled people. He only got away with it because of the statute of limitations... which makes you wonder what kind of "rule of law" we're actually living under when dealing with such trash.

Meanwhile, you have people running the country who were nothing more than penniless nobodies before they arrived in America, and their only real claim to fame is a string of failed businesses overseas...

Yeah, and which one would that be?

I don't rely on gas; I stick to wood and heating oil... Given my background in the energy sector, I actually understand the risks involved...

It’s fine that there isn't a single gas line in your neck of the woods... as long as you're the expert.

Now, they're looking at their neighbors in Eastern Europe and Romania instead, though at this rate, even those won't be the standard for long.

It’s people exactly like you—and those who think just like you—who actually caused us to fall behind those countries (assuming they have indeed passed us)...

Timothy Smith said:See how petty you're being? People in Borneo are incredibly kind, and your mind immediately jumps to cannibals. That’s not a great look.😢

Maria Murphy says:
And why on earth would we send those bottom-feeders off on the taxpayer's dime to somewhere like Borneo... So, word on the street is there might still be a cannibal out there....
Imagine if we just cut ties with gas entirely. America would finally flourish without that constant disruption... the only downside being travel expenses, since we wouldn't need to pay for lodging anymore. Meanwhile, the folks in Borneo would be eternally grateful for the gift and a partial solution to their hunger issues.

If you read the post again, it might make more sense. My mistake, though—I should have checked if cannibals still roam around Borneo today, given that they were definitely a thing there not all that long ago...
And maybe they’re just incredibly polite, so you can flash them a smile right before they devour you...

Nathan Bailey65 said:That won't work—I heard from someone down by the Mississippi that white meat isn't even good enough for them... so that whole plan falls apart before it even starts.

☕

Though if they labeled it "LIVESTOCK," they might actually stand a chance. 🤷

Timothy Smith said:Honestly, that’s not even a bad idea. It might be even better to ship a bunch of Americans off to Tanzania until the winter passes—it's definitely cheaper there.

Why not just send all the "bottom-feeders" on the government dime to Borneo (the local name for Kalimantan), since apparently they still have cannibals out there?
Just think about the benefits: save on gas; America flourishes without that disruptive element (and the only cost would be travel, since we wouldn't need housing); and the people in Borneo (Indonesia) would be grateful for the gift and a partial solution to hunger...

Jeremy Wilson3 said:The title says it all.

I have a suggestion for everyone who hates the current administration: crank your thermostats up to the max. I know for a fact I'll be doing it. 😈

If we all do this, we'll trigger a shortage that’ll fuel massive public outcry against Prime Minister Ivo and his cabinet. People get incredibly restless when their homes drop below freezing. No amount of political spin can fix that kind of discontent.

No more waiting. Let's get to work!

There are other ways to utilize natural gas—ways that might actually protect the Government from such shortsighted individuals.

"The majority"? That's only 1,454,451 votes out of 4,392,220 voters!
