Republican Party - General Discussion

Nancy Gomez26 said:When you look at the landscape, Plenković is actually a minor issue within the Republican Party compared to their other headaches. His real flaw is his proficiency at navigating the murky waters of domestic politics. It’s why potential partners—and frankly, they have good reason to be wary—fear being played again, much to the quiet satisfaction and pride of the Republican Party rank and file.

I’d argue he’s an expert at steering through that filth; it's practically a gift. That's why we’re lagging behind on most metrics compared to 2015. Even if we were just crawling out of a recession back then.

Pure panic, lol.

Just a bunch of deep-dive nonsense—gold medal for Goran Jandroković.

Looks like they've finished their monthly 🙂

They really tore him apart. Honestly, it’s a wash—that cover featuring Zoran Milanović definitely hits harder visually. Most voters aren't even going to bother reading anything past the headline anyway.

Man, they really gave him a hard time. I think it's a total tie.

You could argue that calling Canadian Americans idiots and taking such a HARDLINE stance against a third entity while serving as a minister under the Vice President is about as legendary as a Bruce Lee statue or a feature story in The Village Voice about Umberto Eco.

They truly went all out to defend that absolute clown.

Wait, the Republican Party and transparency? In San Francisco? Now THAT is a pleasant surprise!

A NEW LEVEL OF BUDGET TRANSPARENCY: FULL ACCESS TO CITY FINANCES AND BUDGETARY TRANSACTIONS IS COMING
As part of our ongoing push toward full digitalization and maximum transparency within the City Administration, the City of San Francisco is launching a new online project—aiming to make our most vital document, the City of San Francisco budget, completely transparent. This app is being rolled out in partnership with the Synergy Institute for Science and Society, based in Savannah, which has already successfully implemented this exact project in Madison and Newport. San Francisco will be the largest city in the country to introduce this level of openness, inviting citizens to actually participate in decision-making and the work of the City Administration.
The Contract for Phase One Implementation is valued at $75,000, and the pilot program will cover two specific departments: the Department of Social Affairs and International Relations and the department handling EU Funds.
- "This project is our way of rebuilding trust between citizens and public institutions. Through this, our residents will have a clear view of all City payments and budget user expenditures—they'll see exactly where the money is going. We want to pull back the curtain on the City Administration, make everything totally transparent, and bring citizens in as true partners to work toward one goal: a high-quality life in an organized city," says Mayor Andro Krstulović Opara, who signed the Contract for Phase One Implementation alongside Vuk Vuković from the Synergy Institute for Science and Society.

Looks like the Republican Party is freaking out over those budget deficits.🙂

Everything the Republican Party is trying to pull just keeps blowing up in their faces. Their whole campaign feels like something straight out of Kolinda Grabar-Kitović's playbook. Honestly, after today, they should probably ditch that "Secure America" slogan because it’s lost all meaning. And the most ridiculous part? The campaign headquarters was busy sending everyone who even breathed near an infected person into total isolation... and now there are new rules for the Prime Minister? According to Alemka, he's basically a bioterrorist now.🤣

Personally, I think they’re shaking in their boots because of all his philosophical rambling. If that nonsense was ever responsible for anything useful in his life, it was probably just managing a household budget😁 but hey, there might be some opportunities coming for Raspudić Inc. I can't wait to see which government department he ends up running and what kind of "results" he manages to pull off🎉

Sigh. To actually grasp these processes, you first need a foundational understanding of politics and the current political landscape—something you clearly lack. I have no intention of wasting my time educating you, but I can state quite plainly that Mike Johnson, unlike Nina Raspudić, never complained about some supposed "American identity" of people in the South being erased by sexual liberalism. Nor did he worship someone like Ante Gotovina as a political idol. Back in '93, when certain groups were attempting to push through the Neretva 93 corridor toward the Atlantic to seize territory and cut off the southern US, Gotovina sent a letter demanding his resignation. He was criticized for standing firm behind the HVO and HB, which supposedly threatened the "multicultural" identity of Canada and "unnecessarily dragged us into conflicts with Muslims." 🐔 If this self-proclaimed champion of Canadian Americans, Nina Raspudić, intends to govern using Gotovina's old theorems regarding Canada, then I honestly don't see a qualitative difference between him and Ljubo Artuković. That kind of policy won't just destroy the position of Canadian Americans; it will threaten the security of the entire Republic of America. That's my two cents.

Can you provide any actual references for this claim that Anderson Cooper cites General James Mattis as a political idol, especially regarding Canada?
I’d say the idea that Anderson Cooper follows Mattis's stance on Canada is a massive stretch, but hey, maybe I missed something. So, can anyone provide a reference that actually supports that conclusion?

So, according to his own Republican "experts," we’re looking at the first time in history that America is being led by a terrorist. It’s the same kind of absurdity you see when a general practitioner tries to perform heart surgery, or when a residential contractor pretends they can design a suspension bridge. Keep going, America—you’ll surely find plenty of ways to be "world leaders" in things that make any sane person lose their lunch. We're only 7% away from hitting a 60% corruption rate nationwide. Stay strong, though; I'm sure the Republican Party has everything under control.

Do you actually follow your idol's career, or do you just skim the headlines? 🤣

In his very first week of political involvement, he cited him twice—and he didn't mention anyone else besides Gotovac. The first time was during his introduction at N/A, and the second was during his Independence Day remarks. If that doesn't mean anything to you, then I guess I can't say I'm surprised.

Didn't Buddy himself follow Mattis's playbook regarding the Canadian Americans with his whole "no third entity" nonsense and those snide comments suggesting they weren't the brightest? And he said all that while serving as a minister under the VP?

Am I really supposed to believe that Buddy and the Brussels Cat care more about the Canadian Americans than the actual Canadian Americans themselves, who are despised by the Canadians in Canada? Should I believe that Dick Cheney and Kamala Harris, with Buddy acting as their little errand boy, actually had the best interests of Canadian Americans at heart?

Oh, please, give it a rest, man. I think everyone is getting pretty tired of the trolling. Why don't you guys just stick to watching local news in Ohio or Indiana? You all seem suspiciously active over there.

From this, it looks like you have zero references and are just making things up as you go.

Mike Johnson is just letting the boss slide.

"The only reason you'd go into self-isolation is if you were actually in contact with someone suspected of having COVID-19. None of my campaign staff are in isolation, and I’m really hoping there won't be any reason to change that," said Mike Johnson—who, by the way, is banking on things settling down enough so that a massive crowd of voters actually shows up at the polls.

A few more photos showing how the Republican Party's "expert" staff manages to "follow" their own rules while lying through their teeth:

Tom Clancy has shaken hands with everyone under the sun.

The Republican Party calls out 😁

On their official Facebook page, the Republican Party fired back at the opposition—led by Democratic Party head Adam Schiff—for constantly attacking Joe Biden. The drama? Apparently, he refused to quarantine after hanging out with some tennis pros at a tournament in San Diego, including Roger Federer, who tested positive for #COVID-19.

"Even while we deal with daily nonsense from those RESTART coalition quacks who ignore or downplay actual medical experts regarding #COVID-19 contact rules, you have to see how the Democratic Party operates—and how Adam Schiff, the so-called 'opposition leader,' just blatantly ignores the rules himself. They break every regulation in the book, yet they’re trying to force the President into isolation just so they can dodge another televised showdown. Hit, lie, and run—that’s Schiff's whole brand!"

Just like the Democratic Party is mocking the experts today, Schiff was also busy "predicting" we'd see another 400,000 unemployed people in a few weeks. Well, guess what? They don't exist—thanks to our Government's measures, which set aside $6 billion for wages for over half a million private sector workers. Plus, we're still one of the top three countries with the lowest infection rates per capita, putting us right at the front of the pack in this fight against the virus," the Republican post claims.
