Let them spin whatever nonsense they want, whenever they feel like it, for whoever they please. I mean, we actually live in a democracy, right? Nobody’s forcing you to listen to a damn thing.

Give it a shot—you can definitely do better than that.

I could, but there's really no need to.

Honestly, we should just scrap the whole Presidency entirely. It’s completely useless—just a total farce that drags the taxpayers through the mud with these insanely expensive elections...

Actually, it does. For instance, our leader recently tried to claim that AARP is some sort of traditional American greeting.

I'm just waiting for her to drop that during a televised address to the nation.🤣

Perhaps when they visit a nursing home, those residents might find themselves reminiscing about how they used to greet one another back in their childhood days.

Give me a break. She immediately followed up by saying we shouldn't even use it because it’s picked up some negative vibes now.😁

I don't care for it one bit, but if you look back at that same interview she did with ABC a while ago, she made it pretty clear that people should stay away from using it.

Well, she made a fair point—those fascists were mostly Americans, so it counts as an American greeting. 😁

I still find myself unable to wrap my head around it. 🤣🤣

How do you even tackle these issues without falling back on the way Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović handled that question about the locksmith—just pure evasion? It was such a massive blunder, and honestly, that single moment alone disqualifies her from actually leading the country. If she’d just been blunt and said, "He was a criminal, a mass murderer, and the face of an evil totalitarian regime," people would have respected the honesty. But no, instead we got the classic political dance: "Oh, he’s certainly a historical figure," "We can view his legacy in two different stages," "We should acknowledge his certain statesmanlike achievements..." All that was missing was some tear-jerking anecdote about the Mississippi River.

It’s true, this doesn't exactly fit the classic, black-and-white profile of an average American. I imagine you might be feeling a bit bewildered by it all.

I don't follow everything, but if I did, I'd absolutely shred that "he's certainly a historical figure" nonsense first.

It sounds just like Zajec trying to break down football players.🙏 🤣

She also added that that’s exactly how we ought to view him. ☕

A German guy was telling me something similar about Hitler the other day—as if to say, sure, he was a criminal, sure, he slaughtered countless people, but look at the economy! Look at the infrastructure! He built roads! He held a pretty significant position back in Bavaria.

So, I decided right then that I wasn't interested in looking at Hitler through shades of gray. I'll stick to black and white. 😁

It’s honestly wild how people still lose their minds over Marshall—whether they're tearing him down or acting like he was some kind of saint. And the worst part? It’s every single generation, even the kids who weren't even born when it all went down. I don't get what drives people to care this much... seriously. Even if a family suffered back then, it happened fifty years ago! I just can't wrap my head around why people are still so obsessed...

The dust has finally settled on the Walmart scandal, the school curriculum debates have faded from the news cycle, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović isn't the main topic anymore, Saucha is dutifully raising her hand, and—unfortunately for some—the GDP is actually growing... All we have left to argue about are Marshall, Pavelić, and whether we should legalize AARP.

Lojzek, why on earth are you doing a rebranding?

Every single time the Democratic Party gets mentioned, there you are—it’s fine, really. We’ve all figured out exactly who we are, what we have, and apparently, what’s in our email signatures too. Just relax. 😁

Lunch sandwiches at Iblerov's are on the way. ☕
