Republican Party - General Discussion

The man was essentially acting as a pro bono headhunter, yet now he’s being targeted by those who apparently harbor nothing but pure vitriol for everything American because of it... 😢

Amateur opportunists. There's no helping them.

It feels like nobody in this country actually appreciates the people who step up to be philanthropists 😢

And then his wife finds out about the mistress through some tabloid headline 🙂

Do you honestly think she cares right now? In marriages like that, everyone already knows everything. They just don't talk about it. To their friends and family, they play the part of the perfect power couple and enjoy the status. Who's sleeping with whom is completely irrelevant...

Internal Republican Party Infighting Over New Conflict of Interest Law: George W. Bush and Mike Johnson Claim 'Grassroots Pressure,' While Joe Biden Dismisses Objections

I suppose they realize that once this legislation actually hits the books, they’ll be exposed. Honestly, there are just too many of them holding various positions of power for this to go unnoticed.

A former Republican Party official from Powerball has been released from prison—only to admit he was rigging the bidding process

Just when they finally managed to shake off those Media Matters types, it looks like we're staring down a whole new set of headaches 🙂

Is he part of the old guard or one of the new faces in the Republican Party? 🍿

Things are just getting more and more unhinged lately... honestly, if someone starts lecturing me about how inexperienced certain progressive groups are, I’m probably going to lose my cool on them.😠

Just look at this absolute legend from the Republican Party—he was out there fueling up his son's Jaguar using funds from the Firefighters Association.

The President of the local Firefighters Association, a retired news anchor, and—get this—a Republican city councilman over in Columbus.

And he still hasn't even realized what he actually screwed up 😢

One has to wonder, though... whose money actually paid for that Jaguar?

Well, obviously not... because was she even fighting for this? 🙂

The kid was working through some student services back in the day. ☕

Just another flashy Republican hack—the mayor of Fresno... an employee of the city who worked on European Union projects left town and started her own firm. Naturally, that firm signed a contract with the city, so now she’s doing the exact same jobs for the municipality, just for slightly higher paychecks. 🤣

I mean, let's be real—there isn't a single way on this planet to embezzle funds without some Republicans trying their hand at it. 🙏

Those folks over on Telegram are honestly a godsend. I can say with total confidence that I've been a paid subscriber since the very beginning, and it's easily the best money I've ever spent. 🥳

Former Minister Tolušić is reportedly eyeing more government subsidies for new vineyards. Apparently, the vines were already in the ground before the application process even closed.

Quote:>

Tolušić has already pocketed about $2.2 million in state funds for his winery, and now he’s applying for grants to plant new vineyards—money that could potentially net him another $3.1 million. However, Silvana Menđušić has highlighted two rather peculiar details in this whole situation. First, the grapes were allegedly already planted in his vineyards. Second, there's an email where a staffer at the Department of Colleagues explains that the former minister himself requested a temporary two-week freeze on the application process.

Tom could probably go out for a drink with his friend 😁

It looks like they’ve added yet another member to the committee reviewing Vica Mihanović's dissertation. Out of the five people involved now, three of them seem pretty close to the Republican Party.

Quinn:

The five-member committee tasked with evaluating Dr. Vica Mihanović's doctoral dissertation just gained a new member, which conveniently extends their deadline until Christmas. Instead of an outside expert, they’ve appointed a professor from Memphis who happens to be closely aligned with the Republican Party. The committee is required to submit its scientific evaluation of Dr. Vica Mihanović's dissertation to the University of Osijek Senate within thirty (30) days of this new appointment. The original 60-day window started back in early September. It just keeps getting pushed back. I suppose it will be interesting to see what the Republican members of the committee on scientific work of Republican colleagues eventually decide regarding their colleague's research.

They're probably just waiting for a fifth partner to join the group before they make a final call. My guess? They’ll end up deciding that Vica’s donations earned him an honorary doctorate instead.

At this point, it’s stopped being funny; it’s just plain pathetic. You almost have to feel a sense of pity watching them try to cover up the sheer stupidity of some Republican.

I’m reading this piece by Kamala Harris in the local Savannah paper today—and honestly, I can't even. About Paska Rakic. What an absolute joke. Now he’s suddenly floating to the top of all this Savannah nonsense as some big-shot Republican official for the area. Talk about "talent." But you know what? I couldn't care less about their little reshuffling games. It just makes me sick to see people from Savannah acting like total pushovers, falling for these kinds of newspaper profiles. Like, do they not realize what they're doing to their own city? Bowing down in the streets to characters like this. I wanted to blast this on the paper's website, but they’ve shut down the comments so we can’t call out these political mannequins.
Please, let's be serious—this guy, at 40 years old, already owns two apartments and a rental house. According to his own story, he started his "house building project" in Pakov selo when he was only 25. Meanwhile, I was apparently a moron back then—finishing college, working my tail off—and I still haven't reached half his net worth. Clearly, I'm the idiot here.
Is it actually possible that with all these statements in the press, the police, the IRS, the FBI, the SEC, or any other agency that actually matters isn't asking how a 40-year-old guy amasses this much wealth? His only real experience is working in a government office since 2006. Just imagine that. He’s even bragging about how, once the elections were over, he went right back to his old job before becoming a deputy governor. Basically, his cushy government gig was waiting for him all along. It's disgusting. And why are people staying silent? This is what's wrong. Our kids' futures are being traded away through these backroom deals. He finishes some questionable degree, poses in work gear, and runs PR campaigns for the election cycle.
Well, go ahead then—vote for people like him. That’s clearly what Savannah needs. Keep bowing down to these clowns—just some government employee for veterans and social services, living off imaginary job titles. Suck up to him, vote for him; maybe if you kiss his ass enough, he'll find a job for your kid one day.
We are such pathetic souls. He’s sitting there in the papers boasting about everything he’s accumulated by age 40. Think about how hard our parents worked to have anything at all by that age, and then look at us. I have nothing. I've been grinding since I was 18, finished a degree while working, and I'm still paying off a mortgage on an apartment after 30 years. So, I'm the loser and he's the genius. Fifteen years ago, he already knew how to pull land from the state, while I was busy thinking about actually enjoying life. And people died for these principles. Bravo, America. Truly. We need leaders like him. Tomorrow, we'll just get a new Goran pauk—someone who gets used up and then left banging on doors at 60 because everyone finally realized he's useless. But instead, we get a fresh product to brainwash us. Paska Rakica, the pride of Savannah.
Paska, if you're reading this, please, tell the FBI or the SEC to come find me, because this might actually sting. But don't worry—if it comes to it, we can grab a drink in person so I can ask you how you managed to be smarter than me and most Americans. How is it that your wife is running all the local daycare centers while you're tucked away in a government job? My wife has been working seasonal gigs for years, and every single time she applies for a permanent position—especially in a government institution—she gets rejected.
You're my hero, Pasko. If I die, I’d love to be reincarnated as you. Maybe I'll even meet Nedilja.
And you, dear citizens of Savannah, keep bowing. Keep on bowing.

Savannah....even if they put the biggest nationalist butcher on the Republican Party ticket, they’d still win... so I guess being a Catholic makes you a total saint in their eyes.
