Republican Party - General Discussion

True, they didn't.
They just officially rubber-stamped their pride ☕

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.

The Republican Party lost its majority in Zavala County, but somehow managed to pull together a new coalition with the Democratic Party and the Libertarian Party in just a few hours


I guess the Republican Party is just that popular lately; everyone seems to want a piece of them

Keywords: how many or what exactly do you need?

Tomislav Osman will undoubtedly clear all of this up for us.

They haven't given anyone a free pass yet—I suspect they’ll give those other fairy tales some serious thought before committing to anything.

Is the Republican Party ever going to address the scandal involving Governor Kožić using county funds for a private lunch? Or are we just supposed to look the other way...

What exactly would you want to be?

That’s just how things are done these days, I suppose.

And then you get people starting in on all that left vs. right ideology talk...🤣🤣
The only real ideology they have is grabbing a majority and getting their hands on the money.

Give me a break...
Back when politicians used to spit on voters—treating them like the same immoral trash as the people they’re voting for, since only thieves vote for thieves—you’d always see these offended types jumping in to call out the "other side" for slander.
Sound familiar?

Once he finally decides to screw everything up on his way out to retirement... 🙄

Anyway, what was that about filing a report against Unknown?

Mark my words! It's all going to hell! People are just chasing shadows...

Goodness gracious, the Democratic Party and the Libertarian Party teaming up to govern.

The Republican Party really does seem capable of anything, doesn't it?

Though, I guess it might finally explain why that rather decadent Libertarian Party managed to emerge from bankruptcy back on October 7th, 2021.

Why would they bother? Everyone knew about the scandal long before the election, and voters made their choice—they handed him another term. That’s really all that matters in the end. You can compare the legal side of things if you want, but the ballot box is the final word.

Listen, man...🤣Honestly, the only real difference between them is their "ideology," but that’s just for show. It's all an act, I guess. At the end of the day, both sides are just looking to grab as much cash and power as they can, and let's be real—that kind of stuff goes best with the Republican Party.

A Republican crony gets a job at a city firm, and now he’s moving into City Hall

The newly appointed head of the Department of Budget, Finance and Collection is Ante Vojvodić, a staunch Republican and the close personal connection of Mayor Mate Franković.

The facts are pretty straightforward: the Mayor first landed his buddy a spot at the largest municipal utility in town, then eventually pulled him into his inner circle as the finance chief. Meanwhile, the guy has been holding down a position at a state-run corporation that seems to lose money year after year.

I suppose it’s just business as usual when it comes to looking out for your own.

It’s almost as if a final court ruling wasn't enough for them; now, the Republican Party masterminds have decided to officially wipe out public job postings from the rulebook.

Meet the latest brainchild of Andrej Plenković—the "Miss Build Sabo" approach. 😁
Building a fair nation, right?

POLITICS & CRIME
Telegram just exposed a brilliant move by the head of this Republican-led state firm: she changed a single word in the Employee Handbook so she can hire whoever she wants without any competition.

Telegram has uncovered an interesting maneuver by State Real Estate LLC, a company 100% owned by the US government that manages 6,630 federal properties, ranging from commercial spaces to apartments and residences. We've learned that at the start of the year, they tweaked their internal Employee Handbook specifically to allow the Board to bypass public job competitions moving forward.

Aside from voting my conscience or protesting vaccine mandates, I fight these kinds of injustices by avoiding taxes whenever possible.

The government can’t steal a tax that was never paid in the first place.

Man, we really can be a mess sometimes when even the smallest little thing goes wrong. ☕

Party cards, Verizon perks, and getting hacked

A local Republican woman was bragging on Facebook about all the perks her party membership card gets her. Fast forward a bit: "I've been hacked!"

Well said—nothing more to add.

In this land of pure apathy, the Republican Party just keeps coasting along at the top—it’s almost impressive. Even after all the scandals and those final court rulings on corruption, their polling numbers haven't budged an inch. Experts aren't even surprised; apparently, voters today act more like customers than citizens—they don't really care about ethics, they just want what they want.
"If any other political group faced a final verdict like this, they’d be absolutely finished—total devastation," says Trogrlić. "The only exceptions are the Republican Party and the Democratic Party; they both have these locked-in voter bases who will vote for them regardless of the circumstances—simply because of old ideological grudges or some emotional attachment to how the country was founded."
It serves as a reminder—take the Progressive Party, for instance—that they’ll have to work incredibly hard just to scrape together 12 or 15 percent support. And even then, they’d likely lose that momentum at the first sign of trouble.

"The Fimi-Media scandal—it’s an old story, really—predates both Andrej Plenković and that new face from the Republican Party he’s been pushing lately," Trogrlić noted. He pointed out that voters, particularly those who haven't quite made up their minds, tend to judge a party by its leader—which, in this case, means they aren't linking the corruption issues directly to Plenković.

"This case just goes to show how much the threshold for tolerance has plummeted in American society—it’s reached a point of pure indifference. It's a diagnosis of our collective consciousness here in the States, which is exactly why the Republican Party remains untouched by this court ruling," Milardović noted.

Today, we’re looking at a classic patronage-based system—one where voters act more like customers, focused solely on their own immediate interests.

It seems there’s some chatter regarding the recent political shifts—specifically how the Republican Party is handling its internal dynamics—and honestly, it feels a bit like watching a slow-motion train wreck on a Sunday afternoon. One can't help but wonder if anyone in leadership actually has a plan, or if they're just reacting to the latest headlines.

Did they actually dump those fine payments and illegal profit margins into the treasury like Mom and Dad promised?
