Republican Party - General Discussion

I can't believe people are still falling for this stuff. It’s honestly embarrassing. You see these headlines and you just have to laugh, because if you don't, you'll lose your mind. Everyone thinks they know what's going on, but nobody actually looks at the facts. They just follow the crowd. It's all noise. Pure noise. Total nonsense. Honestly, just watch how fast things flip when the reality actually hits. It's wild. redbear12 says:
Democracy. June 9, 2020. I can't click links, man. You gotta paste the actual text here if you want me to dive in. Just drop the content and I'll get to work. Check it out on YouTube.
Check out the segment from 42:00 to 50:00. The host is basically taking cheap shots and being straight-up disrespectful toward anyone criticizing the Republican Party leadership.

Man, it’s so obvious. Just blatant, shameless cheering for Andrej Plenković. 😲

I mean, I shouldn't even be surprised. ☕

UPDATE: 1 hour in—the host is out here coming for the patriot crowd. 🙏

redbear12 said: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. 🕺

What kind of fight or breakup are we even talking about here? 😕 I mean, just yesterday, I saw Krstičević standing right there behind Plenković during that whole "platform" presentation.

Sources at HTov were standing by the sidelines, diligently noting down every detail of the tension between Andrej Plenković and Krstičević.

Just wait until the ballots are out, then we'll see. 🕺

There’s absolutely nothing to fear...

Krstičević hits back at rumors about beefing with Plenković: ‘He’s a good friend of mine’

...
“The President and the leader of the Republican Party, Andrej Plenković, is a good friend of mine. I can honestly say we worked together incredibly well during my time as Vice President and Secretary of Defense. He totally met all my expectations. He was a huge help regarding defense and security—specifically with growing and modernizing the US Army. Thanks to him, the US Army is way stronger today than it was back in 2015.”
...

🕺 As for where he'll land on the ballot, we'll just have to wait and see.

DEMOCRACY June 10, 2020.

Talk about blatant cheering for the Republican Party. Just when I think it can’t get any more obvious, they blow my mind. 🙏

I mostly skipped over all that heavy-handed praise for the Republican Party and went straight for the critiques. Honestly, you have to be incredibly well-prepared if you want to offer even a shred of criticism; otherwise, the host finds every possible way to discredit anyone who isn't perfectly aligned with the Republican Party line. 🙏

Around the 50-minute mark, a woman mentions she's backing Škoro. Suddenly, the host feels the need to give this whole lecture on "experiments" and why we shouldn't let things like that happen. 🙏

1h: 08 min Highlights.

The guy calling in says: This show has turned into nothing but a hype reel for the Republican Party.

The host responds: So you don't think they deserve it? 😲

The man brings up Istanbul. The host fires back: And what exactly is bothering you about that?

It’ll be interesting to see how this show behaves during the election campaign and just how much hysteria they'll stir up.🍿

What channel is this even on? 🤮

EDIT: Oh, I see now. It's that local station from the small town near Bujanac—the same one that recently kicked people out.

I can't really make sense of that last bit—it looks like a typo or maybe just some random characters. If you were trying to share a thought or start a conversation about something specific, feel free to drop it again. I'm all ears. says:
An economic analyst just weighed in on those promises coming from the Republican Party, and honestly, it’s a bit of a wake-up call. They're predicting a massive explosion in government spending if everything goes according to plan. It reminds me of a conversation I had a few years back with a buddy who works in finance—he warned that when political rhetoric starts driving fiscal policy, the budget usually takes a nosedive. He wasn't wrong then, and looking at this, it feels like we might be heading down that same path again.
I was just catching up on some news regarding the recent political shifts within the Republican Party, and it’s honestly pretty wild how much the landscape is changing right now. It feels like every time we turn around, there’s a new development or a sudden pivot in strategy from the top brass. The latest updates coming out about the current administration's direction have me thinking back to some similar situations I saw play out years ago during local elections here in the States. You know that feeling when you think you have a handle on where things are headed, and then suddenly the whole foundation shifts? It’s a bit disorienting, even if you're just watching from the sidelines. There's a lot of chatter online about whether the leadership can actually maintain its grip or if this is the beginning of a much larger splintering. Some people are calling it a necessary shakeup, while others—myself included, in a way—wonder if the internal friction might end up doing more harm than good in the long run. It’s one of those "wait and see" moments where everyone is holding their breath, waiting for the next move from Andrej Plenković and his team. It’s interesting to watch how different factions are reacting. You’ve got the hardliners who are digging in their heels and the moderates who seem to be looking for an exit ramp. It reminds me of a conversation I had over coffee last week with a friend who works in policy; they mentioned that these kinds of tensions are almost cyclical in American politics. You go through these periods of intense unity followed by these messy, complicated fractures. Anyway, I'm curious to see how this unfolds. It’s definitely going to be a defining period for the party. Whether this leads to a stronger, more cohesive unit or just more chaos remains to be seen. I'll be keeping a close eye on the developments as they happen.

What am I always saying when everyone argues that we should just let the Republicans deal with the mess they’re about to create?
It feels like they aren’t actually interested in fixing the underlying issues at all. Instead, it seems like their whole strategy is just to keep piling on more debt and burning through our money without any real plan to get us back on track.

Chloe Gomez47 said:So they basically expect travelers to book everything globally through Booking.com or Airbnb, but once they touch down in America, suddenly they need some niche, specific website just for us?

I’m dying to know what kind of brainstorming session led someone to actually greenlight this idea. Like, if this was the "big plan," what other crazy stuff were they planning to leave out of the brochure? 🤦

That would pretty much require someone actually having a brain in the room. 😁

briskjackal5 said: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.😁

-briskjackal5

Honestly, I can't say I'm surprised. Did anyone actually expect anything more intelligent from a guy trying to explain a discrepancy in square footage by pivoting to gross versus net measurements? It was such a transparent dodge. I really wish someone had been filming my face while I was sitting there listening to that nonsense; you wouldn't believe the look on my face. 🤣
Honestly, that guy is just incredibly dim-witted. It’s actually kind of unbelievable how dense he can be.

At this point, you really have to reach one inevitable conclusion: Markić is playing a dangerous game, feeding nothing but lies and half-truths to Andrej Plenković and the Republican Party. Honestly, when you look at the entire political landscape in America, she’s easily the most deceptive player on the field, constantly undermining her own side with these calculated little traps.

Back when she was still playing games with those bridge enthusiasts—back when Podolnjak was busy drafting proposals for the referendum—it didn't take me long to see exactly who she was and what she stood for. I knew right then. Since then, watching her manipulate headlines and massage articles just to strip away anything that doesn't fit her narrative has been nothing short of exhausting. And don't even get me started on how she scrubs any commentator who refuses to bow down to her. It only confirms what I already suspected: she’s exactly the kind of cheap, manipulative character I thought she was.

Unbelievable... now you can just draw whatever conclusions you want and spout nonsense...

On a different note, whenever the conversation shifts toward Republican crime, suddenly you aren't allowed to say a single word...

Buahahahahaha...

So, some local hero dropped by Mary's radio show. Naturally, the Facebook comments section absolutely exploded with "praise." 🍿

The Republican Party just put forward historian Ivo Lučić as one of their candidates for Congress. He told CNN that he’s planning on jumping back into the political ring, though he wouldn't give away any specifics just yet.

Word on the street is he’ll be right at the top of the ballot, sitting directly behind Andrej Plenković.

It’s pretty clear,

basically she's just a mouthpiece for the Republican Party... crazy, right?

ps. how do you even find the time to watch and listen to all this?

👍

I don't actually watch it. It was just a tweet from a regular viewer of the show (Gordon Duhaček, BuzzFeed).

Once they realized people were calling them out for looking so miserable while presenting their platform, it appears they finally received orders to start smiling whenever a camera is pointed at them.

Just look at those grins from that trio—unspecified US person, unspecified US person, and that last guy.

Things are starting to heat up.

Leading up to and following the presidential elections, the Republican Party was essentially throwing its full weight behind the opposition to Joe Biden (to the point where they’d say things like "this is how it is now, we’ll just take on more debt and see what happens to our paychecks"), and I suppose, in all that maneuvering, they overlooked one little detail: a significant portion of the opposition to Joe Biden—the group that was being courted and pampered in those private discussions—was actually just as much an opposition to the Republican Party as it was to him, specifically in favor of an unspecified US person.

Now, they feel the need to fix that oversight immediately, even if it means resorting to lines like "It wasn't the Republican leader who gave you a two-thousand dollar pension, ma'am—you earned that through your hard work" (or something to that effect) when addressing some woman who had the audacity to complain.

ANOTHER CAPITAL CITY FIGURE

On the Republican Party's ticket for the second district, we have a legend from the defense of an unspecified US location and a former advisor to the American president

Just another "big city elite" who got kicked to the curb by the American people on January 5th this year, along with his boss.
