Republican Party - General Discussion

Exclusive Scoop: A high-ranking Republican Party official just landed a seat on the Amtrak board right before retirement, and he’s already cooked up a brilliant little scheme to pull his son into a paycheck alongside him.
To make sure his kid gets the job without anyone being able to point a finger, he followed every single rule in the book, even checking in with the Conflict of Interest Commission to ensure everything looked perfectly legitimate.

It honestly feels like there's no limit to what they can get away with, because at this point, they really just do whatever they want.

Maybe that’s the one. Between the clothes and those cheap sunglasses, he definitely played the part of a successful, smooth gentleman...

Or maybe it's Skegrin posing next to a Ford Model T... 🤣

Or just any of those suits worn by the Republican Party crowd back during their big political comeback...

If it's available on Playto, we could maybe get a game going...

Unbelievable. A true American political miracle. ☕

P.S.
We keep searching for rock bottom, hoping we might finally hit it so we can start swimming back toward the surface... but unfortunately, in the world of the Republican Party, there is no bottom.

They aren't feeling it because the Prime Minister isn't some hardline radical, so they just skip voting for the Republican Party entirely.

I couldn't agree more. 👍 We just have to hope common sense prevails for the sake of the entire country.

Some poll claims Smith is actually catching up to Plenković.

If Smith pulls it off, he’ll either end up being a total fake conservative, or they'll find some excuse to kick him out because of his right-wing views, leaving us with some new version of Plenković in charge instead. 🥱

Here’s Plenković's roadmap as he kicks off his bid for a second term leading the Republican Party. It’s a 36-page document, largely penned by his own hand, centered around four main pillars.

He could have done a better job refining the previous administration's seven points.

His platform claims a "zero tolerance policy for corruption," which is laughable coming from a party riddled with graft, including those already convicted and facing renewed trials—essentially Bandić's coalition partners. You have Zalac, Tomašić, Kuščević, Marić...

Furthermore, he mentions "an independent judiciary." One wonders if he means a judiciary that clears police officers caught driving 99 miles mph in residential zones?

Look at Kalmeta, Bandić, Sanders, Horvatinčić....

I mean, what was he even waiting for with that zero-tolerance policy? What's he waiting for now?
Has he completely lost touch with everything going on here in the USA? 😁

Seriously, has anyone actually been kicked out of the Republican Party for stuff like this—let alone faced legal charges—in the last four years? No one? How does that even happen?

With all the rumors and reports we've seen, the worst thing that happens to corrupt Republican members is basically the same thing that happens to those creepy predators: they just get shuffled around to a different department within the same organization.

And honestly, they usually end up in these half-baked, cushy positions with massive salaries. So, they’re actually getting sanctioned even less than before.
It's just birds of a feather...

The whole thing is a total joke—honestly, it feels like it was written just for internal eyes only. Once you're done reading, you might as well just toss it in the trash.

"...how they intend to support the Republican Party, which promotes traditional family values through policies designed to strengthen the family unit. There’s a particular focus on supporting young people and ensuring all regions of the USA receive attention, specifically mentioning initiatives like the Midwest development project."

"...while also continuing to advocate for legal certainty, protecting minority rights, and maintaining zero tolerance toward corruption and crime. They also touch on the need for an impartial and efficient judiciary, faster legal proceedings, digitizing the court system, addressing issues facing frozen assets, prosecuting war crimes, strengthening the local police force, modernizing public administration, condemning hate speech, and improving protections for women and children against violence..."

Did they actually give Teni a special shout-out at the end of the program?

The absolute best joke from this whole campaign has gotta be Plenković's slogan: BRAVE! 😂

Why call it a joke? Because it’s really just a warning that the Republican Party is going to start digging even deeper into the treasury...

The USA is becoming like the Aral Sea...

Bacic still can't seem to make up his mind whether the elections are on February 15th or March 15th. 🙏

Does that mean the Borg wrote his platform for him? I wonder what they have in store for his next term.

These guys are gonna be feeling the sting from all that slapping.

Franjo Harmon is gone, but long live Franjo Harmon.

The Americans in Peru will make the call. 😁

Butković: Our commander and party leader Andrej Plenković. 🙏

So, this Zdravka Busic lady who just went on that massive rant about how "everyone here is just a total jerk to the diaspora"... I mean, is she really the same Busic who used to be an ambassador back in the day, basically using our tax dollars to foot the bill for people moving over from Canada?

When Plenković leans so heavily into this whole patriotic rhetoric and displays such an intense devotion to the homeland, he ends up looking quite camp, especially when he tries so hard to insist he isn't.
