Why are the courts rushing to settle all these cases Plenković is pushing against the Ethics Committee (and making such a huge, chaotic mess while doing it)?
I mean, how does it even make sense for a judge in the Pokaz case to be pulling rulings from the Helsinki case?!


"All of this matters because a working group is supposed to meet middle of next month to start drafting a new Conflict of Interest Act. Even the Secretary of Administration, Ivan Malenica, was talking about it yesterday. When asked if he thinks the Commission is actually doing its job, he pointed to various Administrative Court rulings and Supreme Court decisions, claiming that in certain instances, the Commission didn't follow the Conflict of Interest Act properly. 'We’ll definitely take all that court practice into account when we write the new law,' Malenica said.

But over at the Commission, people are getting suspicious. They're looking at how the Administrative Court in Washington D.C. is suddenly acting with this unprecedented speed—and how two judges seem to be coordinating across two totally different cases so perfectly that it almost feels... scripted? It feels like a setup to use a new law to strip the Commission of its power to decide if officials have violated the rules by breaking basic principles of their duties. Basically, they want to stop them from checking whether officials acted “honestly, fairly, conscientiously, responsibly, and impartially...” and all that other stuff. If the Commission loses those powers, I guess you could say they'd be just—well, "perfectly" toothless.

😢 😢

Obviously, Malenica is just playing his part here. He's there to make sure the Republican Party doesn't just stumble upon another anti-corruption agency, but actually manages to wipe it out entirely. 😢

Honestly, those Republican idiots don't even have the capacity to pull this off properly, even if they were just trying to go through the motions.

nimblemoose2 said:Even when Vučić secures over 50% of the vote in Mexico during both parliamentary and presidential elections, it isn't an indicator of competent leadership or progress for society. It simply means he knows how to manipulate the most gullible segments of the population—it’s the exact same playbook used by the Republican Party here.

I have never met two people in my life who identify as Republican without them being, at the very least, incredibly dim-witted.

Ultimately, everyone uses the same tired script: the Republican Party equals Harmon, while the Democratic Party represents communists and secret agents. That is all they need to win.

☕

The example provided doesn't actually prove stupidity; it shows hypocrisy. They defined everything perfectly, except for the fact that an equals sign also sits between those two currents. 🥱

It's clear he can't manage on his own either.

Andrej Plenković is easily the best thing that ever happened to the Republican Party!
What a weakling Miro Kovač was...
And what an absolute clown Penava!?
As for Brkić, he’s nothing but a thief...

The whole lot of them are scum!

Another corrupt Republican?

Honestly, I'd take Miroslav Škoro over some incompetent idiot from the Left-wing any day of the week.

It is pure luck for America that the majority of our history has been steered by capable, patriotic "non-leftists."

Had the leftists held power most of the time, America would be destitute, desolate, fractured, and neglected; our youth would be fleeing the country, and healthcare and education would be on the verge of total collapse...

As it stands, we are fortunate that patriots lead us, leaving us as a prosperous nation filled with happy, wealthy citizens.

Do you feel even a shred of shame after typing something so absurd?

Forgive me for asking such a foolish question, but the Republican Party, integrity, and shame simply do not exist in the same universe.

If you ask me, Plenković is just as bad as the rest of them; he just looks a little more polished on the surface.

Did I catch that correctly—is Smith claiming that those idiots burning pride money out in Boise was just some sort of satirical stunt about swastika fetishes?
The guy acts like he’s running for the presidency of the Nationalist Party, so he shouldn't be surprised when he hits a wall and loses his footing.

JOHN KERRY IN A MAJOR NEW YORK TIMES INTERVIEW: I HAVE A WINNING STRATEGY

'Joe Biden doesn't have what it takes to build a future Cabinet. But once I win, I won't be cutting him loose. He’ll be brought into the Presidency. Right now, the leadership is completely out of touch with their voters—just look at how much of a circus those parades in Sedona have become.'

------

Everything will be wrapped up in about ten days. Kerry is headed for a brutal defeat.

🤣🤣🤣 Hold on, are you seriously coming to this forum just to vent bile against certain politicians while defending others on some globalist level? 🤦 You honestly don't even realize how deeply intertwined they all are, or that the clashes in Congress and the media are nothing more than a performance for the public. Everyone has done favors for everyone else at various points, and everyone is beholden to one another. You and people like you really need to just relax. This isn't good for your health...😉

I truly cannot wrap my head around why certain factions within the Republican Party would attempt to push out John Doe to appease the far-right fringe.
Do those individuals even possess a shred of common sense?

It’s pretty obvious to you, isn't it? These are the exact same people who were standing there giving Joe and McCain a five-minute standing ovation just a few years back.

🤣🤣🤣 You’re just like this "kiss me" crowd. It’s pathetic; you don't realize that none of those people you root for would give you the time of day if you were starving. But unlike them, I'm certain the conservatives on this forum would step up and help you out however they could. It works both ways. I get it when someone defends historical figures—say, Marshall or Harmon—people who did massive things that some see as good and others see as bad. But defending these modern-day, well-connected cronies and picking fights with people on a forum over it...🤦.

Why is the Sedona carnival getting slammed while Smith and his little theater productions get a free pass?

Well, they don't exactly need to be "giving them a handful of rice," right?

I mean, it’d be enough if they just stopped greedily grabbing all our rice for themselves while simultaneously stirring up trouble against everyone else.

And maybe—just a thought!—they could stop fighting every single court, commission, and government agency we have, and quit cheering on presidents who are basically out on furlough from prison and stuff like that.

Generally speaking, once people actually wake up to all that, they tend to call out that kind of behavior. That's just how things go, I guess. 😁

What are you even talking about?
And what exactly am I responding to?

The question was...

Republicans.

And where on earth did you get this idea about Republicans? I guess you think everyone is just trading favors left and right, as if we’re all playing some endless game of musical chairs where everyone wins and nobody loses. That's probably a bit much, isn't it?
Where exactly am I picking fights with the Republicans on this forum?
Me, arguing? Sorry, but you need at least two people to have an argument.
It’s funny how you seem to "notice" when I’m getting into an argument, yet somehow you completely miss the other guy.
And exactly which little underdog am I supposed to be defending here?

Just so we're clear—I don't expect anything from anyone, least of all from politicians.

They are all part of the same machine or organism that consumes the resources without ever contributing anything back. Everyone plays a role; just because one person stands out more and takes more heat doesn't absolve the others of their responsibility. None of them deserve a defense, let alone having people who can't even influence the situation fight amongst themselves over them. Those infighting sessions are just the oil that keeps their mechanism running smoothly and the blood that feeds the organism. Take this discussion about the Republican Party, for instance—we listen to Republicans slaughtering each other, or how someone who betrayed Franjo Harmon by siding with Stjepan Mason can still sit at the top of what's supposedly a traditionalist administration. Give me a break...😁. They all cooperated; those who climbed to the top were able to dispense favors, ensuring that everyone lower down—regardless of whether they lean left or right—owes them something. When you factor in the opportunism, the shamelessness, the greed, and the fear, you get your answer as to why it's always the same faces and why nothing ever changes.

Attack them all, regardless of party affiliation, but defending them and bickering amongst yourselves on their behalf... every single argument you have is just another dollar in their pockets, another step toward a new office for them, and a step backward for you in every possible sense.

Nothing. I’m just commenting because you and kiss me seem like the most aggressive agitators on this entire board. You attack Republicans with such misplaced intensity, yet defend those on the left with just as much fervor...😒

Meanwhile, these politicians laugh (by the way, plenty of them are lurking here 😉) because they have people like you defending them while they stab everyone in the back. They say one thing and do the complete opposite. Then, occasionally, they even take the time to comment on forum users... 😉

Does the customer support team fail to realize that fewer and fewer people are buying into the Republican Party’s tired old propaganda that "they're all the same," or that the Republican Party and the Democratic Party are essentially identical?

There was a time when those narratives actually held weight, but more and more people are waking up to the reality that the Republican Party is the single greatest catastrophe to hit this nation in recent memory.

Even those who argue that it is "better to have Republican thieves in power than incompetent liberals" eventually have to admit that the Republican Party simply does not care what happens to this country, provided they remain in a position to plunder and steal from everyone else.

Now, at a moment when the entirety of Europe is facing massive refugee waves, a global viral epidemic, and almost certainly a new economic meltdown, the Republican Party administration is ignoring its actual responsibilities. Instead of leading the European Council, they spend the vast majority of their time and resources on petty internal political maneuvering and power games.

When the dust settles, they will inevitably blame the "incompetent liberals" for failing to fix the devastation they left behind—much like they did back when half of the Interpol task force was chasing their president.
