Matthew Young35 said:So, we should just ignore ZDS, even though they are part of the official protocol?
No, thank you.
We aren't talking about some random person in the crowd here; we are talking about a component of the official protocol.

What do you mean, "part of the official protocol"? I'm asking seriously now.

The masks are finally slipping ☕

It’s honestly pretty satisfying watching the Republican Party machine go on one of its usual tearings ☕

Well, someone laid a wreath with that inscription. The guy in the t-shirt was there following protocol.

The protocol was supposed to be clear: the Department of Defense and the families lay their wreaths first, followed by the high-ranking government officials. Then, out of nowhere, one of those individuals who was meant to go last swapped into a ZDS shirt and laid down the ZDS wreath instead. After that, the politicians were actually supposed to follow.

I have to say, this image is a real slap in the face for us. Having ZDS take precedence over the actual state leadership? It's just wrong.🙏

Man, honestly... just because you think something happened "by the book" doesn't actually mean it did, it really doesn't. I seriously doubt things would get pushed that far where stuff like this is officially sanctioned. Besides, even Milanović mentioned they had agreed on the protocol, but then this guy in the shirt just shows up, someone he supposedly didn't even notice. 🤣
And he definitely didn't see the wreath, since he didn't even bring it up.

Noah Roberts46 said:I don't think that's actually true, though he clearly holds strong views—views that I personally find correct—but sometimes you just have to exercise some restraint and act more composed. Honestly, these spins claiming Milanović is dividing society and cranking up the tension are ridiculous to me. If you spend all your time calling out the corrupt party that robbed the country blind, you aren't "creating division." It's just stating facts. The other issue is that some people simply refuse to reconcile with the truth.

And what is the point of doing this? How exactly do you think that idiot will stop doing the same things? You really think that now that they see Milanović condemned their actions, they'll have some sudden epiphany and never repeat themselves again? Give me a break. 🤣

Look, it's not that I think Milanović's action was terrible—honestly, I'd probably do the exact same thing as most others. But after all these years, he can, and frankly should, be doing better.

When you casually suggest throwing a plaque dedicated to fallen veterans into the trash, is that really a "correct" stance? 🤦

He's talking about calling out a thief party, but what's the difference between him and the Republican Party? You're totally glossing over their scandals, their bullshit, everything they've done, how much debt they piled on us, and how much they've wrecked the place. 🤦

Personally, I find Milanović okay compared to the likes of Jandroković or Plenković—mostly because at least he isn't a total spineless pushover, which is the only upside here—but the rest of this whole situation is just exhausting.

The Department of Defense organized the whole thing, and Zoki was just there as a guest.

Zoki should have taken a page out of his mentor's book—Račan, the one who actually approved the sign.

I doubt he did this because of any advisor's input; it was quite simply his own poor judgment.

I see Ajuto got banned; those were the last posts on the Milanović thread. 🤣

@wiredrider9

I’m really not in the mood for a long-winded debate about everything you just laid out.

And look at this—she’s actually expecting some kind of handout from the old regime during this whole crisis? What a joke. Total trash.

Offside is stronger than ever 🙏

Honestly, we've all collectively lost our damn minds—more or less—and things are about to get real entertaining over the next few months, just wait and see.

Hands down, the absolute worst forum user in history!

🤣🤣🤣

I'm being serious, maybe it's time to bring out the heavy hitters. I'll go grab a bite to eat and come back twenty minutes later to find several new pages of discussion.

Nobody is actually responsible for that house in Miami.

It’s honestly exhausting listening to them try to wiggle out of it and play word games.

Ten people suddenly spiked a fever because of a catheter. 🙏

serology tests aren't even available yet 🙏

Susan Kim2 said:Ten people suddenly spiked a fever because of a catheter. 🙏

That's a real smooth way to explain it, I guess. 🙏

There’s just no need to run any tests in the nursing homes, right? Everything is totally fine. Maybe it's sepsis, maybe it's the catheter... who knows. 🙏

So why bother testing at all? 🙏

🤣🤣🤣

She's starting to show symptoms of a severe Vitamin K deficiency.

Noah Roberts46 said:If you ask me, the smartest move would have been to ignore them entirely and then later tell the press that we shouldn't be giving any oxygen to such a tiny fringe group. He should make it clear that his stance on the matter is obvious, but that the best way to handle it is total silence. Once that handful of losers fades out of the news cycle, they become irrelevant. If we don't give them a platform to wave their fascist nonsense around, they lose all their clout. The less attention they get, the less impact they actually have.

They label patriotism as fascism just to protect their communism.

Don't try to force us to renounce our paramilitary groups; you'll never succeed. 😉

The Zoo in Washington, D.C. is open this Sunday 🤣

I guess it doesn't really matter who's screwing who 🙏
