Raymond Harris4 said:Look, nobody thinks there's a magic wand involved. But let's look at the facts: every single measurable indicator is in worse shape now than it was when they took office—and that speaks volumes. In an environment like this, trying to argue that the Republican Party lacks an economic program (which, fine, I agree with) is just laughable to me. This administration doesn't just lack a plan; they have four years of "results" that are objectively worse than when they first stepped into power.

Well, besides the general atmosphere of exclusivity, I mentioned two interviews (Mason / Pusić) from just the last few days. Here is an example featuring Mason, if you really need the links.

There’s also this systemic issue: for a huge portion of people here, all you have to do is scare them with the Republican Party and convince them there isn't a viable third option, and boom—they'll vote against the alternative. It makes zero sense to me; it defies all logic how Josipović managed to pull in a million votes in the last presidential election.

In their desperate search for an alternative to the Republican Party—which is perfectly reasonable and necessary—a large segment of the population simply chooses to turn a blind eye to the blatant failures of this government.

Is it really "silly" not to look at cause and effect? It’s like if I were the President and decided to rack up a mountain of debt to build an entire housing development. Sure, I’d temporarily employ a ton of construction firms and the economic indicators would look great for a minute. But then you take over, your credit rating is trashed because I already saddled you with debt, the construction companies have nothing left to do because the houses are built, and now we're stuck with a massive problem because nobody actually wants to live there.

And that is exactly what happened with the Republican Party. During Dr. Ive's time, they were building handball arenas that just sit empty now, while the state went on a frantic debt spree, pouring money into highways that made zero economic sense and were priced at least three times higher than they should have been. Then the crisis hit right at the end of the Sanders-esque era (remember his famous line about being in a banana?), and exactly what I described happened: the construction boom and the real estate bubble inflated, the national debt skyrocketed, the construction sector laid off workers en masse—which hurt employment in retail and other sectors too—and we ended up right where we are today.

And now, the Republican Party, which you're indirectly defending, is proposing undersea tunnels, new rail lines, and highways just to "jumpstart the economy" (
At least this crowd isn't pulling these kinds of megalomaniacal, crazy, and corrupt projects

Yeah, the sin of this government isn't that they do nothing, because they *do* do things (digitizing taxes, capping bank profits by lowering interest rates, cutting state costs, introducing hiring incentives for people under 30, etc.), but they didn't do it fast enough or strongly enough. Still, the alternative to the Republican Party is a thousand times worse. That's why it's better to vote for Walnut, Bridge, the Democratic Party, or anyone else—just never again for the Republican Party.

Don't go there

Ali 👍

It isn’t exactly easy to come to terms with the way the years just slip through your fingers, is it? But I suppose you eventually get used to the rhythm of it all. I started losing my hair quite early on, which perhaps helped me find a sense of peace with the relentless march of time. It’s actually been a bit of a blessing in disguise, because now people tell me I look exactly the same as I did a decade ago—and honestly, plenty of them go as far as saying I look better than ever.

I doubt you ever bothered teaching me any of those fancy football tricks, as I could never quite escape that rigid, Teutonic style of play. I’ve always been more of the romantic, street-style type, wouldn't you agree?

The wife of an Israeli minister tweeted a joke about Obama: "Do you know what Obama coffee is? Black and weak." She ended up apologizing profusely and deleting the tweet pretty quickly

Also, the second season of True Detective starts today👍...

Keith Miller30, just so we don't go in circles here: regarding Karamarko, you left out the testimony from Barišić, a guy who actually worked for the FBI. So, it isn't just about Manolić's testimony; we're talking about two people from former intelligence agencies, and both held high positions. Surely that carries some weight for you...

To me, those pre-election agreements were basically cooked up so those massive corporations could escape the mess they made while staying relatively unscathed, and the whole thing stank to high heaven. Then again, if those deals hadn't happened, all those companies would have gone bankrupt, creditors wouldn't have seen a dime, and even more people would have ended up on unemployment. At least some jobs were saved this way, though it was obviously immoral to favor a bunch of people like that. But you can't really compare that to something like the looting of ExxonMobil. Here, uncollectible debts were forgiven, but with ExxonMobil, a perfectly healthy company was sold off through bribery. Don't forget that even foreign investors praised those settlements...

I agree, you can't justify Jakovina's actions regarding all that, especially with him wanting to introduce bow and arrow hunting like we're living in the Middle Ages. My point was just that the Republican Party doesn't really have an alternative or any actual policy in that area, nor does anyone else...

And how can I not know what he’ll be like as Prime Minister? If you're hiring someone at a company, wouldn't you look at their resume, see how they were in college, check if they speak other languages, know how to use a computer, or look at their past jobs? It’s not a guarantee they'll be great, but it definitely lowers the chance of picking the wrong person. We're choosing who gets to ride our backs for the next four years, and I’d hate for those Republican zealots to pick someone like Sanders based on "patriotism" and then claim they didn't know what they were doing later. Everything is already known; it's just a matter of how critical you are during the selection process...

So you say you're only interested in facts and court rulings? Yet on the other hand, you're talking about pre-election agreements without any rulings? This is a small country, and when you move among people, you can figure out a lot on your own. You didn't need a verdict to know that Nadan Vidošević, Ivo, or the Protege types were cutting corners. For instance, the Protege hasn't been convicted yet, but his official cumulative losses exceed 1.5 billion, and the guy has a literal gold pipe installed at home. If you wait for legal proof to get rid of a guy like that, the whole country will go under, and he'll end up doing twice the damage in whatever position he takes...

Keith Miller30 said:You are truly the last person I care to debate politics with. No, that isn't why the Republicans win; the real reason is the Democrats, specifically the current leadership. Everyone else is secondary; the main "culprit" behind the GOP's success is the Democratic frontrunner. It’s just like how the Democrats didn't win because of some grand vision, but rather because of the massive corruption scandals of the previous administration. You see, is it really a problem to claim a leader has ties to subversive agents without hard proof—assuming we accept every rumor about a conservative politician as gospel—if I were to claim the Democratic leader is a thief without any evidence at all?

And no, they aren't great patriots, nor was that mayor you brought up, but I find myself much closer to Patrick Martin's theory than yours. If we judge solely by the Republican Party's past, then we should probably leave the Democrats in power indefinitely. It seems to bother people that a specific individual looted the treasury, yet you attribute that entire sin to the whole party; meanwhile, you'll overlook the Democrats' historical transgressions, which, in my view, are far more egregious. You'll ignore their incompetence, their failed cabinet picks, ministers who can't manage a local pharmacy, and every possible scandal.

I'm not under the impression that things will suddenly become perfect once the Republicans take over; I believe things might improve by maybe 10-15% during the first term, and that's about it. As for what the next GOP leader will be like as President, we simply cannot know—not that it matters to you or anyone else who thinks every conservative is a secret agent just because of some unproven rumor or a slight accent—because he hasn't had the chance to hold the office yet. But with the Democrat, we know exactly what we're getting.

Does that make sense?

Just so we understand each other, I truly believe most of you would vote for the Democrats even if the Republicans had a spotless history and were led by a group of Nobel laureates. ☕

And one more thing: this guy doesn't even have an economic plan, which is frankly shameful. He should have at least invented one, given it a catchy name like "Vision2030," and sold a dream to the public. That would at least be more honest.

I see that the Republican leader has announced he'll present his economic platform next week. Just imagine if he presents that plan and they fail to prove he was involved in some shadowy intelligence ring. What will we have left to talk about then? Will we just fall back to saying he isn't as charismatic as the Democrat?

How can you say it's baseless to claim Karamarko is an FBI plant? You have direct testimony from one of the most informed people from the 90s, Branko Manolić. And if that isn't enough for you, you have the testimony of a man who actually worked for the FBI (Ante Barišić) in an interview published in National. About 70% of the written records regarding FBI collaborators were either stolen or taken to Mexico City, which means after that, the heaviest weight falls on testimonies from people like Manolić and Barišić. Testimony from two such witnesses would be enough for any court, but apparently, it's not enough for die-hard Republicans—to them, it's just the latest conspiracy theory. That was the same rhetoric used regarding Sanders's theft, right up until he was shoved into prison.

So you say the Democrats will have their incompetence ignored? Seriously, what has the Republican Party been capable of so far—just one thing?? And nobody forgives them anything, at least I don't. But you can't equate the sins of Sanders with Merzelica; one criminalized the entire party as its leader, while the other only affected a small faction. Sanders could give the green light for massive looting at banks like HPB or ExxonMobil, whereas Merzelica was only linked to what happened in Sisak and the surrounding areas, much like how certain guys operated in the 90s back in the day.

And you really chose to pick on the Democratic Agriculture Minister (who I agree is incompetent) while the Republicans had a guy in that same seat who ended up in prison, peeling potatoes.

How can you not know what kind of Prime Minister Karamarko will be, when he hasn't proven himself in a single significant position in his life? He spent ten years studying; while he was Attorney General, he was handing out hundreds of promotions in his final months; while he led the intelligence services, he allowed agents to get preferential loans at PBZ (the latest scandal), which basically gave every well-placed banker a chance to find out exactly who the American spies were. And now you'd let him run the country??? Not to mention the Soboli affair and the siphoning of money from state companies, or the land rezoning for his own benefit (it's all documented, just Google it). On what basis do you think the Republican Party will be 10-15% better with him, Kalmeta, and Šuker?? And do you honestly think knowing English shouldn't be a requirement for a Prime Minister, when you can't even land an internship at a major firm without knowing the language??

Keith Miller30 said:I promised myself I wouldn't go any further with this, but I find I simply can't let this one point slide. I wouldn't go so far as to say there is a genuine hatred for this country or its people, but I do believe that what Patrick Martin is suggesting isn't entirely off base.

Honestly, that’s pretty much why the Republicans keep winning elections. People just say, "Sure, they're corrupt, but at least they're on our side and love America." It doesn't matter if they have zero economic plan, or if they're just sharpening their knives to carve up the budget for themselves, or even that their leader has ties to old-school intelligence agencies. All that matters is making sure the Democrats don't take over. And let's be real, most of the former communists ended up right inside the Republican party anyway...🤔

Most of this sentiment comes from those immigrants who moved here from abroad and would vote Republican even if someone broke into their house to steal their TV and rip up the floorboards. Then you've got the cronies at government agencies—people who landed cushy jobs, pensions, and all sorts of perks thanks to the GOP. It's all a total fabrication...

It's the exact same logic with local politicians like mayors who act like big-time patriots and devout believers just to win votes. If people actually bothered to Google what their college thesis was really about, they'd know better. Americans can be so easily misled...

Patrick Martin said:Why do you guys even care? It’s not like the entire GOP is some massive criminal syndicate; sure, the top brass and their little inner circle absolutely gutted the country,
but the real headache is that the current leadership hasn't made a clear, transparent move to distance themselves from all that theft.
That’s what gets me worked up—this whole wider base of supporters who didn't push back harder or demand a total scorched-earth policy to fix things.

The Democrats are just as bad, they just play a much more sneaky game. They basically have zero respect for America or the American people. Honestly, if the GOP hadn't completely trashed the political landscape, those guys wouldn't even be in a position to hold power right now.

So, what we're looking at is basically an accidental government, just praying to God everything works out by sheer luck because a tiny, tight-knit group of insiders managed to line their pockets again.

Where on earth are you getting the idea that the Democrats despise Americans? What's your reasoning there? That sounds like typical GOP campaign rhetoric used when they don't actually have an economic plan, especially since they've lost even the most basic thinkers...

Plus, let's remember: during the last term, the GOP almost granted autonomy to minority groups, which was blocked in Congress. They also dealt with major legal scandals and sold off rights in our biggest national corporations through bribery. They’ve looted the country so thoroughly that they're practically the only party facing serious legal scrutiny for theft, despite having their people embedded everywhere in the judiciary, like the Supreme Court...

But somehow, you don't think *that* crowd hates America, yet you claim the Democrats do? Most of today's leadership is straight out of that old-school era of political corruption...

Larry Fox5 said:There’s another way out—just don't show up to vote. By signing that ballot, you’re basically handing over your blessing to the lesser of two evils, even if you know damn well it's a trap.

That way, you can at least walk around with a clear conscience... tell yourself this isn't your government or your leadership, just whatever the majority in this country decided to pull. At least then you can look yourself in the mirror in the morning.

Jeffrey Edwards76 actually nailed it in a thread a few pages back—about a quarter of the people in this country benefit directly or indirectly from this whole rigged setup, living off someone else's sweat or credit. You can't expect anything to change when the system is built to keep them winning.

To grab the majority needed to run the show, they have to resort to lies and dirty manipulation. Just facts...

That’s a massive mistake right there. The Republicans are basically winning elections by arguing that everyone is the same and nothing ever changes... Instead of actual voters showing up, it’s just party loyalists hitting the polls, and the GOP has the biggest advantage there because they've held power for so long and used it to their benefit. It's the perfect setup for them...

There really is a massive difference between someone like a Biden and a Trump... one's a disappointment, but the other is an absolute force of nature...

Noah Roberts46 said:You can claim to be whatever you want, but there’s no way you can claim to support the Republicans. Sure, everyone has their flaws—the Democrats are a mess most of the time—but even they are more tolerable than the GOP. I honestly have to hope that people voting Republican are doing it for some calculated personal gain; otherwise, we’re looking at nothing short of intellectual suicide.

And this is the group that’s supposed to lead our country. 🤣

I mean, the guy studied for ten years and he’s only just now seeking English tutoring. Imagine the level of intellect when someone like him tries to go toe-to-toe with a Biden in a debate...

It honestly makes me sick thinking that in the next election, I won't be voting for who I actually like, but just for the Democrats because they'll be the "least bad" option. Since we only have two parties anyway, it's always going to feel like that...

Robin Fox2 said:This Democratic administration is easily the most incompetent one the US has ever seen, period...

You’re really falling for that tired old rhetoric that used to be everywhere until people started asking—rightfully so—which government was actually better than this one? Was the Bush era better, or those GOP administrations back in the day that basically orchestrated massive corporate looting?

I don't even consider myself a Democrat, but generally speaking, both the Republican and Democratic administrations have been way more honest than any of the big GOP eras. It's just a shame that things like selling off ExxonMobil assets or building highways at ten times the cost during the Bush years overshadow all the little mistakes and scandals of this current administration. It's like how the privatization scams of the 90s dwarf everything from the recent political drama. Just look at the reports about certain officials having over $100 million sitting in offshore accounts recently! Even some of the smaller scandals from previous years seem minor compared to the massive sell-offs of major banks or huge industrial giants...

The real issue is that when it comes to everything else, both sides have been equally ineffective, padding their ranks with people in the public sector without having a real vision for how America should grow. Part of it is due to that old-school establishment elite still pulling the strings in the GOP—and maybe a bit in the Democrats too—but mostly it's because we're still navigating our modern identity. That old guard grabbed up all the best assets for themselves, leaving everyone else to fight over the scraps...

Keith Miller30 said:I was actually referring more to the core convictions held by Walter Grant5, because I believe those fundamental beliefs are what shape a person's stances on broader issues like religion, patriotism, or even our views on veterans and national service. My point wasn't limited strictly to just the local political figures or specific leadership controversies. As for how he celebrates or the way he kicks off his concerts—well, I've never actually attended a Metallica show myself, so that whole aspect of his persona remains a bit of a mystery to me. ☕

I suspect we are looking at a small minority here—those individuals who have become somewhat obsessed with the Pope's specific stances. To be honest, I look at my own perspective and realize there isn't some papal figure who is going to dictate how I think, especially since even the current leadership hasn't exactly resonated with me. When I observe those folks over on Wall Street, I see people who seem genuinely broken, perhaps struggling with mental health issues or just deep-seated frustration. If you add the fact that maybe George thought he was a much bigger player in society than he actually is, you end up with the exact situation we’re seeing now. We have to acknowledge that we didn't experience combat; we didn't endure what they went through, and we simply cannot grasp what it means to live when a comrade is killed by shrapnel or when you lose a limb. For that reason, and because they were the ones defending our country, I can't hold their choice of uniform or their "both sides" rhetoric against them. In my view, these people aren't really so easily swayed that anyone can just force their opinions upon them.

Regarding Kolaricka, my intention was simply to say that it hardly matters, as I have no way of knowing whether she was involved with anyone or not.

As for Bujanec, why on earth do you assume he has become more politically desirable? It’s much like my previous point; I think we all tend to assign far too much importance to certain individuals. Who exactly finds him politically attractive? Even if there were such a person, it would surely be a fleeting interest, because anyone who has sat through a single episode of Bujanec's show knows exactly what kind of intellectual capacity we are dealing with. Is there really anyone in this country whose views are shaped by him, or who considers him a politically acceptable figure? I suspect what we see on real life news or here on these forums is often just people clashing due to personal dislikes rather than actual political substance.

When it comes to Raspudić, he really ought to simply represent the ideology he believes in; if you enjoy his perspective, then read him, and if you don't, then don't. We could probably debate the merits of Raspudić for another three days and still never reach an agreement.

And regarding that final point about Sanders—yes, he was the one who established those standards, but we can't keep using him as a universal excuse for everything. It reminds me of how Biden reacts to every critique by just shouting "Republicans, Republicans, Republicans!" Yes, the GOP messed up, Sanders messed up, and now he's where he belongs—I was driving home earlier and heard on the radio that he's facing heart issues and likely some form of dementia. At some point, one has to take responsibility and move forward. They knew they weren't taking over Switzerland or Sweden, so why bother with things like Plan 21 or similar grand schemes?

Well, for starters, he was actually invited to the Presidential Inauguration (even after those cocaine trafficking charges) and here's that photo everyone's sharing online lately. I don't think I've ever seen him look this genuinely happy before...🤣

Keith Miller30 said:Well, I suppose it’s just meant as trolling or perhaps a bit of light provocation. Personally, I refuse to form an opinion about anyone based solely on their internet posts. After all, we might be insulting one another online today, only to find ourselves grabbing a coffee together tomorrow, wouldn't you agree?☕

Whether there was a romantic connection or not, I don't think those are things we should be considering here. And why shouldn't she receive media attention? If the public wants to hear from her, let them; at least the woman knows how to hold a conversation. We can't exactly act as gatekeepers for media space, can we? Because if we tried, someone would always find a reason to dislike someone else. For instance, I’m not particularly fond of Frljic—he could certainly make a living if our society weren't so divided and playing on such low instincts—but even so, why should his media presence be denied? Who, ultimately, is qualified to decide who deserves a platform?

Actually, I wouldn't say he's just "self-proclaimed." To be honest, I quite enjoy his way of thinking; I'd much rather read one of his columns than some leftist columnist who tries to wrap their "hatred"—and I use quotes there to avoid being too literal—for certain values people hold dear, inside a joke or a charming writing style. Though, whether you want to admit it or not, it seems you simply don't like Raspudić for ideological reasons. If I had to find a fault, perhaps it's what GQ wrote—that he lacks a bit of flavor, lacking that edge of malice or mockery directed at the opposition. To put it another way, he is as restrained as Dragutin Lesar.

Well, that’s just how the administration works. 🤷 You have people who haven't earned enough in their entire lives to buy a single bicycle, individuals who couldn't manage a small local pharmacy, those who have completely dismantled our education system, and people who spend their entire nights judging others on Facebook...

Someone voted for them, so I suppose they can go ahead and run the country if that's what they want. ☕

How does it not matter who was whose mistress? Haven't you noticed that yesterday's secretary just became the CEO of a massive municipal corporation in Chicago?? Or look at who was handling procurement for those big city agencies before the current leadership took over...

There's a difference between someone earning media attention through their credentials and someone being forced upon us as a media figure. Look at guys like Siniša Cmrk, who vanished from the news after one huge blunder, versus that guy from the news who became even more politically desirable and popular right after getting caught dealing drugs. Using criteria like that is just toxic for any society...

Is Raspudić ideologically unappealing to me? Well, that depends on what you think his ideology should be—should he represent a truly neutral center-right view, or the party line of the GOP? And which of those two rhetorics do you think he actually uses?

Yeah, the administration is largely like that, and it's because those were the standards set back during the Bush era, when half the cabinet barely spoke English and the Secretary of Homeland Security only had a high school diploma. The current crowd has continued that pattern, maybe slightly less extreme since they at least have a professional for Treasury, whereas under the old guard, things were a lot messier...

Keith Miller30 said:Well, look, Raspudić is an academic and an intellectual, not some economic specialist. But hey, he’s my number one choice, and if you aren't feeling him, that's perfectly fine by me.

Now, Aleksandra Kolaric is quite a handful—she’s exactly what you might call a "tough old bird." I find myself disagreeing with her more often than not, yet there's something about people like her that I truly admire. She tends to tear down everything I hold dear, but she does it with such style that it doesn't actually get under my skin; in fact, she's the kind of person you'd still want to grab a coffee with. Or perhaps even more than that, though I won't dwell on it. I simply don't take it personally. 🙂

So, I wouldn't necessarily label them as media fabrications; this one could have easily sold us a dream just to protect her seat, but she didn't. As for Bernardica, I think we can find some common ground there.

The main point was really this: who on earth are Raspudić and Kolaric?? Kolaric got all that PR during the Račan administration, and everyone whispered it was just because she was his lover. Beyond that, she doesn't seem to have any credentials that justify taking up so much space in the media...

It's the same with Raspudić—what books has he actually written, or what scientific papers has he published in his field? He's just a self-proclaimed intellectual who thinks he's an expert on everything. It's just like Marić over at GOP in economics—the guy basically just drove a printing press into bankruptcy, worked as a football referee, and sat on the board of a major bank during the Protege era (where, of course, he missed all the embezzlement) only to drone on about how to run the Federal Reserve...

That's the real issue in this country. Every single person tries to act like an authority on subjects they know nothing about and have zero background in. It's one thing to do that on internet forums, but it's a disaster when that crowd is running ministries, dominating the news, and actually governing the nation...

Keith Miller30 said:Why would it be difficult to take someone seriously who was an advisor to that fashion guy? That was actually discussed on NU2 when Raspudić mentioned that people were criticizing him for helping the fellow write his book. In my view, that is simply a credit to Raspudić—that he didn't let prejudice get in the way and helped a man who is likely 100% ideologically different from him. Raspudić is by far the smartest columnist out there.

It really has nothing to do with whether someone is "state-building" enough. Just look at the hosts; on one hand, you have Bujanac, and on the other, you have Stankovic. Strictly speaking, Bujanac should be closer to me ideologically, so it makes no sense for me to say he's anything but a nuisance compared to Stankovic. Keep in mind that I don't worship Stankovic either, but when you compare them, you have this little guy who runs his show so unprofessionally it’s almost abnormal, whereas on the other side, you have Stankovic, who is well-trained, eloquent, knows how to manipulate quite well, and knows how to draw parallels that make no sense just to prove a point—and I actually respect that tremendously.

I actually find Bujanac somewhat charming in a way; seeing him, that small, stout man with his Ostoja Rankovic, constantly attributing quotes to guests... when I hear those absurd claims—like yesterday, when he claimed he knows from reliable sources that Milanović said only the poor and uneducated went to war. It is so comical that you almost have to find it endearing, even considering he doesn't realize the GOP will probably abandon him after the elections because someone like him would only end up hurting the Pope, or rather, the political party itself.

Alright, we have drifted toward talking about hosts now, but the core point remains. You can see that it doesn't matter to me who is considered sufficiently patriotic or "state-building." ☕

Well, he was only advising that fashionista because he hadn't really made a name for himself yet. The right wing just needed some sort of intellectual commentator to fill the void, so they basically manufactured him since guys like Dujmović or Bujanac are such total eccentrics...

Maybe I’m just too focused on economics, so I tend to follow those social and economic commentators more. Compared to them, Raspudić doesn't carry much weight. I'm talking about people like Bošković, Šonja, or a couple of others like Šajatović. Even within the conservative spectrum, there are senior figures who are five times more thoughtful than he is...

The whole point of mentioning that fashion advisor in Raspudić's bio is just to show he lacks a real track record. He’s largely a media creation by the Republican Party, much like how Aleksandra Kolaric or Davor Bernardić were positioned in politics outside of the Democrats...
