Republican Party - General Discussion

silentnomad7 said:Are there actually any women in the Republican Party?

PHOTO: Check out the expressions on the faces of these Republicans while Andrej Plenković rolls out the party platform.

Well, practically speaking, they do!

I mean, I can think of at least three women who are pretty much part of the Republican Party.

One of them didn't bother re-registering with the party, which I guess is kind of expected lately now that she's lost a few elections. But hey, she could jump back in any second!

Then there was one who used to lead the whole thing, but I think they ended up kicking her out through some ethics committee or something like that.

And the third one? Well, she's currently dealing with some legal trouble regarding power plants.

So, yeah, you really can't say they don't have any...

Emily Smith6 said:Horvat: We’re looking at two potential paths to fund the buyout of ExxonMobil


"Right now, the cash isn't sitting there, but there's a way forward. There are essentially two different models we could follow to secure the funds needed to bring ExxonMobil back under our control," Horvat remarked.

"Look, we have the expertise, and you guys have the capital. In the end, you'll be left with nothing but experience, while we walk away with the money."

Listen to the segment from 42:00 to 50:00. The host basically starts taking cheap shots at anyone criticizing the Republican Party administration.

The Republican Party's "ethics committee" is an oxymoron. It's basically pig iron—for those of you who don't speak English properly.

Jose Collins86 said:It appears that everyone within the Republican Party received a very specific set of talking points during their recent meeting. First, we saw Plenković telling Bago that this flu outbreak was "the greatest crisis in history, one that the Republican Party navigated us through without a hitch," and now our dear friend Vili is echoing those exact sentiments almost verbatim while speaking to Bolković. It seems quite obvious that their entire campaign strategy will revolve around the Corona virus and a slogan along the lines of: "The Republican Party saved your lives, so now give us your vote in return." Personally, I find this approach to be a significant miscalculation. The world moves far too quickly for such tactics; the memory of the flu has already begun to fade, and figures like Beroš, Božinović, Grba Buljević, and the rest of the crew have long since lost their "savior" status, even among the most gullible citizens.

At least they actually have a message longer than a single sentence, unlike the Democrats whose only strategy for the last two weeks has been a comical attempt to mention corruption every single time they bring up the Republican Party. Every sentence about them has to include the word "corruption." It's a truly brilliant tactic—trying to link the Republican Party and corruption together. 🤣 Corruption in the Republican Party, corruption by the Republican Party, "America will be the most modern nation by 2050," oh, and by the way, the Republican Party is corrupt. My 26-year-old manager beat up his boyfriend (who probably got him the job, but hey, that's not corruption), but it doesn't matter because the Republican Party is corrupt. 🤣 The Republican Party looted the country in the 90s—never mind what we were doing in the 80s, 70s, or 60s, they're just corrupt. It doesn't matter if our main partner laments that fewer Americans were killed in Blajburg, the Republican Party is corrupt. Such a genius tactic, much like Berica himself. 🤣

Don't lie! The only people who were out there killing folks in the 70s and 80s are the exact same people who founded the Republican Party in 1990 and jumped ship into it.

Perkovič, Mustač, Manolić, Šeks, and that whole old-school intelligence crew.

And how much communism is still left rotting inside the Republican Party? We saw it clearly in the one thing that actually matters—their economic platform. It’s easily the most leftist election program I've ever seen; pure socialism. Even Cuba and North Korea would be embarrassed by it.

It’s funny how in America, the "left" promises budget cuts while the "right" promises some socialist utopia where everyone is taken care of and the government hands out cash to everybody. 🙏 🙏

Brenda Taylor13 said:Honestly, this takes the absolute cake—it’s easily one of the most ridiculous promises I’ve ever seen on a political poster. It’s one of those coalition parties making big claims that honestly just make me laugh, reminding me of how much Vesna Pusić used to roll her eyes at us back in our high school days. They’re out here promising to create 200,000 new jobs, which is just pure fantasy. Seriously, in all this time since they made that claim, nobody has even come close to hitting that number.

🤣

Seriously, you Republican trolls are getting out of hand... just completely unhinged...

Is this some kind of annual troll festival or what?

Got anything actual to say about the "platform" put out by your precious Republican leaders?

If we’re talking records, let's talk about the ultimate "guarantee card" from your former big shot, Ivo Sanders—the guy you all swore by and voted for during his second term, even though he didn't fulfill a single thing he promised during the first...

It's the exact same story with Andrej Plenković—he hasn't delivered on most of the stuff he was promising back in 2016 either...

As for right now? Their new "platform" is basically just a whole lot of nothing...

Exactly...

Go ahead, try paying your bills with that pile of nonsense you just listed... walk up to the service counter, tell them you've got fifty partisans, thirty-eight fascists, and some secret agents on your side... and see if that covers the electric bill.

The vultures in the Republican Party have turned the government into their own personal piggy bank. They're stealing millions at the local level—just look at the Rimcev situation—and here you are, rambling on about things that happened in the 70s and 80s...

Honestly... just pure mental communists, nothing more...

Stier was on Fox News yesterday and it was a total train wreck...

He's blathering on about kicking people out of the party to maintain the coalition, but the second Beljak throws Milinovica's name in his face, suddenly he's claiming it’s all just because of "differing viewpoints"...

Which is hilarious, considering he literally said just a moment before how the Republican Party welcomes diverse opinions...

What a clown...

What does your post even have to do with this? Seems like your only goal is to bash the Republican Party whenever you get a chance. To be fair, the discussion started because of yet another Republican promise to create 100,000 jobs—so yeah, it was being criticized. Then we looked back at the 2016 elections where the Democratic Party promised 80,000 and the Republicans promised 180,000. And then this guy jumps in talking about how Pusićka is the record holder with 200,000 jobs. If I recall correctly, he isn't even voting for the Republican Party this time around and is pretty critical of Pleki and his little crew.

Well, they didn't kick him out. That's his main priority. If he even manages to snag a seat in Congress, it'll be a miracle.

Man, I just remembered another one.
Šuica. 😁

And then you've got Maletićka right there with her, too. I think those headlines where she promises 180,000 new jobs just popped up again recently.

Well, where are they?!

-Stipe

Stier probably seemed a lot sharper when he just kept his mouth shut. Honestly, at this point, I’m not even surprised he managed to run himself over with a lawnmower.

You totally forgot that they basically pushed her out and sent her off to Brussels so she wouldn't actually have to follow through on that promise. It isn't even her fault, really—it's more like the deep state wants things exactly how they are, with Americans struggling and unemployed.
Now, poor thing is over there just scraping by on $50000 a month.👎

Ehej, oh man, I think we totally missed another big name here!

She’s actually right there in the party leadership. Used to be a Cabinet Secretary, too.
It just wouldn't feel right to leave her out of the conversation, I guess.

Gabrijela žalac!

-Stipe

We haven't forgotten her 👍

But honestly, here’s just one more player who seems to be desperately trying to fade into the background—though I don't think it's going to be that easy for them:

Where on earth did Tolušić get millions of dollars to build that massive winery? His explanation just doesn't sit right with me

That explanation only sounds suspicious to those naive enough to believe the Republican Party is free from theft and corruption.

Those who still cling to the delusion that Ivo Sanders and Josip Rimac were the only ones lining their pockets.

He’s basically saying he’s paying for everything with loan money that hasn't even hit his bank account yet.
And who knows if he even applied for the thing in the first place?
So, yeah, he's counting on money he's just... expecting to show up.
Plus, there's this whole plan involving the proceeds from selling an apartment he hasn't even put on the market yet.

I mean, that's certainly one way to explain things, I guess! A real masterclass in logic right there.😁

Charles Fox10 said:I haven't read anything more absurd coming from a government agency in quite some time.

Pure madness.🤦

I mean, I don't even know. To me, the absolute craziest thing was that state-owned toilet paper company...
I guess we’re back at it again—another day, another round of political maneuvering that makes you wonder if anyone actually knows what they're doing over at the Capitol. It looks like the Republican Party is gearing up for some serious paperwork battles, and honestly, it feels like a rerun of the same old drama we see every election cycle. There's a lot of talk about how the leadership is trying to tighten their grip on the legislative process, which, let's be real, usually just means more bureaucracy for the rest of us. I mean, watching these guys scramble to manage their internal factions is almost like watching a slow-motion car crash—you know it's coming, you can't look away, but you really wish it would just end already. It’s all very "business as usual" if your idea of business is endless debates and strategic stalling. I don't know, maybe I'm just being cynical, but it feels like the whole thing is designed to keep the status quo firmly in place while everyone argues over the fine print. Just more noise in an already loud room, I suppose.

American Weekly: Did Plenković and Krstičević just have a massive blowup during a hours-long shouting match?

Looks like the fallout with Krstičević stems from some shady intelligence business involving Božinović, plus a total split with Markač over the election lineup. 🕺
