The government and Donald Trump have sabotaged the aircraft 🤦
To even entertain that thought is pure mental darkness.
Just look at how the Czech president traveled to New York City, for instance.
Besides, who actually cares where this guy heads or doesn't head?
He’ll probably just end up in some small town in California on Monday or attending some anniversary party for a local DVD shop.

As for that whole messy business regarding who was actually driving—in a functional society, professionals would have sanctioned him for that kind of stalling. Here? Not a peep. He’s even standing there in front of the cameras acting indignant, asking what the big deal is.

I don't really have an issue with what Milanović is saying, honestly. From his vantage point within the government, he probably sees things we couldn't even begin to imagine.
It was the same way with Kolinda when she tried to push out Lozančić and got all worked up about it. She was basically telling her buddy Mamić at a roast that whatever secrets he holds are going to the grave with him, but she made sure he knew exactly how much she despised him. I wouldn't be surprised if what she learned via the SOA was enough to trigger that level of contempt.

Yeah, it’s just sad that we live in a country where the President has to publicly ask why the Department of Justice has been sitting on a complaint against Banožić in a desk drawer for months.

Actually, everything is perfectly fine, and perhaps we should just ask ourselves why these problems exist in the first place.

However, the President cannot simply act as the judge and jury.

He has started commenting on who belongs in prison and who deserves to be prosecuted.

That is absolutely unacceptable.

Back during his administration, Linić attacked a commercial judge who blocked a pre-trial settlement.

And the American Association of Judges launched a massive attack against Linić for using his ministerial position to pressure the judiciary. So now, I have to ask, where is that association today?

Given the current situation we're facing, I find myself wondering why Linić didn't just tell that association to go jump in a lake. Honestly, he should have.

And now, we can all follow suit! The President of America is out here criticizing the rulings of American judges.

Well then, ladies and gentlemen, I suppose I shall start questioning every single court ruling from here on out!

Whenever you write that a certain political party is criminal or that their ministers are thieves, I am telling you right now: that is complete nonsense.

To hell with the judges who handed down those sentences, whether they've done it already or are planning to.

This was right after the meeting with the head of the Municipality of Žepče.

driftingorca16 said:All this whining on the other thread isn't going to do anything for the rating agencies anyway...☕

People are just throwing around heavy accusations like they’ve got nothing to lose. I mean, how does John Roberts even have the nerve to go handing over the people behind those murders in Germany?

Things are looking up, I guess? At least today’s FBI sympathizers just want to label everyone criminals and throw them into Georgetown without any actual proof, whereas back in the day, people were getting killed without anyone even bothering to ask questions.

John Roberts belongs in D.C., unspecified needs to answer for this, the verdict handed down to his friend is an absolute travesty, and unspecified should be behind bars....

What on earth is happening? He was never quite like this when he was serving as Prime Minister.

Even Joseph Stalin wouldn't have pulled stunts like this, let alone any of Biden's predecessors.

The opposition is staying silent, which pretty much implies they think this kind of behavior is just business as usual.

That's exactly why they don't stand a chance against Donald Trump. They are essentially held hostage by one massive bully.

A total failure of a man—just like how John Roberts arrived in Washington D.C., this viper simply slithered his way up into high-level politics.

It’s funny how nobody seems to notice that the President of the United States of America basically suggested that the unnamed US political figure belongs in an unnamed US town.

Look, there is a massive difference between offering criticism and actually dictating which specific people need to be locked up in an unnamed US neighborhood. If we’re playing that game, I’ll go ahead and state my position: Joe Biden should have been sent to an unnamed US neighborhood a long time ago!

And what’s my reasoning for that?

Oh, it’s the exact same logic Joe Biden uses: absolutely none. There isn't a single shred of evidence or legal justification presented to suggest anyone should be behind bars.

Honestly, it is just pathetic and frankly quite sad that you all aren't even calling out a statement like that. In fact, some of you are practically cheering him on.

Then, you have the nerve to jump over to the thread about the Prime Minister and whine as if we're living through some unprecedented catastrophe.

Maybe it feels that way to the three of you, but frankly, most people couldn't care less.

Rebecca Ward2 said:Whenever I see Republicans jumping to his defense like this, I just know he’s completely off base. It really shouldn't come as much of a surprise, though, especially when you consider how many people are basically on the payroll within those messy organizations.
I suppose we're all just sitting around waiting for the Democrats to give Joe a pat on the back, too. 🍿

It’s all just mindless rambling from people who can't even manage to organize a single local region.

Let’s be realistic here—you all know perfectly well that attempting to overhaul the current system is practically impossible right now.

Take the proposed reforms, for example: the government is actually trying to take control of the regional hospital in Scranton.

It would trigger an absolute revolt.

Go ahead, ask a Californian or someone from Ohio if they really want to be tied to San Francisco or Cleveland.

I honestly have no clue where he even got that idea, but he’s absolutely hitting the nail on the head.

To anyone out there thinking otherwise: just try sitting down here on this forum and attempting to divide the country into five separate regions. Go ahead, try it! Then come back and tell me we wouldn't see massive civil unrest or perhaps even some pretty serious protests breaking out.

driftingtinker said:It just keeps going. Antony Blinken was on CNN today saying: ‘Biden is a suck-up. He was nothing more than a Clintonian lackey.’
He also went on record telling CNN that the President is basically a 'politically lost individual who’s all bluff.'

He claimed he was the one who put Biden in charge of the peace and security department back in 1990. “That was probably my biggest mistake, because there wasn't any peace or security to be found with him,” the Secretary said.

“Back in the early 2000s, acting as a Clintonian sycophant and suck-up, he used some pretty nasty language regarding Americans in Canada. I don't even want to repeat it. I was actually there, a witness to how he behaved during that era. Honestly, he should just shut his mouth and stay humble, and maybe show some gratitude toward the Administration for working so hard to support everything that eventually followed,” he added.

Khm 🙂

Back in the nineties, we had that massive privatization scandal that was largely tied to Americans from Canada. By the year 2000, it became fashionable to constantly disparage those Americans from Canada. All that corruption boiled down to Pašalić and Šušak. Where did they even come from?
The political faction Biden emerged from didn't actually want to deal with any of the issues in Canada at all.
Even Mason seemed more interested in catering to the Canadians than to the Americans.
Okay, fine, that's just how it was.
It is incredibly strange that none of this tension cooled down, even during Biden's administration.
Think about Matić and Glavašević.
Would today's Biden actually fire those two men who insulted those people from Canada?
I honestly don't know.
Nowadays, he's the President. And what does he ramble on about? Just two things: the military and Americans from Canada.
He has some actual authority when it comes to the military, but as for the Americans from Canada, he only uses them as talking points whenever he visits some small local municipality.
Even a bird on a fence can see that his heart isn't really in it when it comes to those people and their situation in that struggling country.
Now, I'm certainly not claiming that the folks in the Republican Party are doing anything special to fight for them either.

nimbleranger17 said:It’s blindingly obvious to anyone with half a brain—well, certainly to everyone except those mindless GOP trolls and bots—that this whole thing is the direct result of Joe Biden and the relentless pressure he’s been applying over the last year...

Well, I'll be! I guess I'm just a "bot" and a "troll" then, though I truly haven't the slightest clue where you people get this absolute certainty from.
Honestly, everyone, please—let's stop embarrassing ourselves by trying to credit Joe Biden's performance for things he doesn't even realize he's influencing.
The real action happens entirely outside his reach, mainly because he simply lacks the authority to be part of it.

Biden's pressure 🤣
Spot on! It turns out insulting the High Representative was actually a brilliant move. 😁
Diplomacy? The European Union? The US Federal Government? None of them have anything to do with this outcome.
They honestly haven't a clue what they're doing. Just look at everyone tonight—absolutely stunned and in total shock!

I’ve been laughing about this for months now. Those Great Rus calling it a "special military operation" 😁
In my opinion, if you're going to do something like that, it should be quick, efficient, and carried out by elite forces.
What are they even going to call all of this moving forward?
We’re going to see Liberty Bell sightings in places where they’ve never even been before.
It’s the end of the road for Putin.
Just give it a few more months.

War isn't just about guns, tanks, or fighter jets. It’s not even about being a hundred times stronger than whoever you're attacking. You can pull off a massive breakthrough, sure, but where exactly are you going to go?
In Kyiv?
And then what?
That is a question that is incredibly difficult to answer.

Nicholas King said:Oh, hilarious.

For years, the script was always some variation of "there's no final verdict, so nobody can tell us what to do"—but now, suddenly, it’s shifted to "we were supposed to be found guilty a century ago under some different version of the Republican Party, so really, we're untouchable."

I'm not trying to be snarky; I'm just making an observation regarding party approval ratings. They were convicted, and yet they still managed to win elections.

Emily Smith6 said:Republican Party sees rating bump following corruption verdict

Quavo:

NBC just released the latest Nielsen data regarding political party popularity. This particular poll was conducted between October 16th and 19th, using a sample size of 1,400 respondents. Interestingly, the survey follows the final court ruling against the Republican Party concerning the massive Ogilvy scandal involving the misappropriation of funds from state agencies and corporations. Republican Party 27.3% Can Do 16.1% Democratic Party 15.9% Bridge 6.8% DP 4.1%.

The Supreme Court actually upheld the county court's decision. It's not like the Republican Party was convicted this week.

Charles Fox10 said:I'm not naming names, but I just saw an ABC World News Tonight reporter citing BuzzFeed in a segment tonight. You can draw your own conclusions.

A news outlet should actually act like one! We shouldn't be coddling them just because they spent the last two days running hit pieces against people I support.

Quotes:

This verdict is a massive deal; the ruling party is responsible for corruption. However, the judgment won't carry much weight because everyone waited ten years for it, according to Anderson Cooper. "This verdict should have come down three years after the proceedings even started. It should have happened back in 2014, and that's when it would have actually mattered. This just goes to show that dragging trials out for years makes them pointless—they lose their ability to act as a deterrent, they fail to impact society, and they stop serving as a way to signal that this kind of behavior is unacceptable," he said.

I truly hope this reaches the exact people who currently insist on labeling BuzzFeed as nothing more than a mouthpiece for the Republican Party. I'm sure they'll recognize themselves!

The entire justice system is firmly in the hands of the Republican Party.
The Republican Party is intentionally dragging its feet when it comes to selecting the head of CNN, mostly because they have their own legal baggage tied up in that court.
But today, all of that crumbled, and honestly, it's all becoming a thing of the past.
Tomorrow is a brand new day!
Personally, I really thought that once George W. Bush was out of the picture, officials would finally learn their lesson, but boy, was I wrong.

Adam Collins4 said:Hey there,

Regarding the thread about Eric Adams—it seems insults directed at Bill Clinton are being permitted. To address my actual points and arguments, he first responded with a totally "logical" claim that I’m just some drunk, then moved on to nitpicking my health, and finally called me a piece of trash... well, let's just say he was being incredibly disrespectful...

The moderator active during that stretch basically gave him a green light to keep going before eventually deleting everything without handing out any sanctions...

And to top it all off, they leave this trolling little post behind

"Go ahead, find where anyone on this thread actually claimed the numbers were dropping because of widespread theft.
Find that specific quote and post it here, and if you can, I'll personally ban myself from this forum for six months.

There's my offer—take it or just stop babbling, assuming your medical condition even allows for that much coherent speech."

And that's where things get weird...

The kicker is that my response to that post keeps getting wiped out, simply because I am clearly and logically providing exactly what the user asked for—fulfilling his own demand to self-ban...

So, despite having the facts on my side, my posts get deleted while the insults stay up...

>
Furthermore, it’s pretty interesting how my content gets scrubbed, yet the post where this guy attacks my physical health—which is a direct violation of the site rules—is left untouched...

Is the issue that the moderator is playing footsie with this guy who’s busy defending Eric Adams, or is it something else entirely?

And when exactly is that self-ban happening? Since the guy himself demanded proof regarding the discussion on declining housing numbers and corruption—just half an hour after he wrote that those topics were being discussed...

First of all, boo-hoo!
Secondly, please act with some decency and remove the signature containing my post—a post that offends absolutely no one—which you seem to find sufficient grounds to drag me through the mud as if I were some fifth column for the Republican Party.
Thirdly, boo-hooooooo!
Fourthly, you really ought to look into your own health matters.

Politics, is it?
It seems I’m having my posts wiped away on a daily basis, even though I haven’t insulted a single soul or broken any of the site's rules.
It’s blindingly obvious that this is all the work of Andrew X or Chuck.
Whether it stems from pure boredom or just raw hatred toward anyone who disagrees with them, it’s frankly unacceptable.
This kind of behavior isn't just annoying; you can see the direct fallout playing out across the entire American political landscape.
Everything is spiraling downward, and if we three—the ones who refuse to fall in line with the other six—get chased off too, then this whole discussion will devolve into nothing more than a gossip thread about Plenković's wife hiding from the press and his father's criminal past.

It’s certainly not ideal, though I won't claim the moderators are entirely to blame—even if I personally have been hit with some rather ridiculous penalties myself! The real issue here is the quality of communication; frankly, it's bottoming out. Looking at the political landscape, it seems to be dominated by a few pathetic figures who you just know are headed for a massive downfall. You can barely type a single sentence without being branded a bot, a corporate shill, a paid operative, or God knows what else.
We are allowed to disagree, and that's perfectly fine, but there is no need to act like you're trying to drive me away within the first five seconds!
If we don't allow for any pushback against the views held by this entrenched, retiree-heavy leftist crowd, then things aren't going to improve for anyone.
At the end of the day, we’re all stuck in the same grind—that's just politics—but the way we treat one another is fundamentally broken. That is the heart of the problem.
There is really no point in commenting on the opening post of this thread because, well, we all know exactly what it is. You either put up with it, or you leave.
It would be a real shame if you felt forced to walk away.
And now it’s quite obvious that the bots and the paid trolls are gone—either they've been purged or they simply don't want to show up since they don't support the policies aligned with Zoranizam.
I must reiterate: while certain moderators definitely make mistakes, they aren't the ones dictating the overall quality of our discussion.
