Republican Party - General Discussion

Patrick Cook said:I’m taking this chance to absolutely rip into the people in Mostovac who basically handed the keys to a criminal organization—letting them seize power and just keep looting everything in sight—by letting them get pushed into the opposition back in 2015. If they hadn't done that, they’d be the ones calling the shots today, but instead? They're getting jack squat.

Just going to double down on what I've already said.

Edward Cooper2 said:Bačić served as a state secretary, then became the Republican Party's chief of staff, plotting with Kosorica over funds that supposedly didn't exist on paper.
Joe Biden was a state secretary, even if he wasn't an official party member.
Mike Johnson used to be a minister and sat on the Republican National Committee (he seems like the weakest link in this whole saga to me).
Đakić was a member of Congress.
Marić was a state secretary, despite being outside the party.
Bošnjaković held a state secretary position.
Obulja Koržinek worked as an assistant minister.
Borić was an assistant minister...
And now... they’re all claiming they had no idea what was happening. If they truly were in the dark, then we have a massive problem...

The political potential and the talent pool within the Republican Party remain virtually unchanged from 2007 to this very day.

The voters haven't changed either.

The membership base is just as it was.

Yet, Plenković's rhetoric regarding the untarnished reputation of the Republican Party still seems to find an easy audience. I guess we simply don't deserve anything better.

Is there any chance Mike Johnson was actually focused on those two specific chapters right when Spiro Agnew was busy lining the pockets of Fima? Like, maybe he just completely missed the whole thing?

The Republican Party is basically just a criminal organization ☕🙂

It’s honestly wild how the entire party in power can be slapped with allegations of criminal activity and everything just stays so calm and quiet.🙏
Even when the justice system hands down a ruling like this, it feels like it won't change a thing because most people in the country just don't seem to care.😁

Has Njonjono said anything yet??

He might feel a bit embarrassed, but dealing with all kinds of garbage is basically his specialty.

But hey, Jurican scheduled a meeting... now *that* is the real news of the week...🙄

Exactly! That’s definitely the headline of the week. Because clearly, everyone else is just exactly the same, and I simply can't have that. We already have confirmation that the Republican Party is nothing but a criminal enterprise. As for the rest? They should be kept on a very short leash...

Charles Fox10 said:Thanks.

You're welcome. You can tell I have a soft spot for certain mods 😬

fadedgull6 said:The entire justice system is firmly in the hands of the Republican Party.
The Republican Party is intentionally dragging its feet when it comes to selecting the head of CNN, mostly because they have their own legal baggage tied up in that court.
But today, all of that crumbled, and honestly, it's all becoming a thing of the past.
Tomorrow is a brand new day!
Personally, I really thought that once George W. Bush was out of the picture, officials would finally learn their lesson, but boy, was I wrong.

Actually, the fact that out of all the crooks in the party, only Ivo Sanders and some insignificant party treasurer got convicted—while the rest of the guys walking around with suitcases like they're Bačić are now sitting in high-ranking positions like the chairman of the majority caucus—is living proof that the judiciary is totally independent.

I’ll give Ivo Sanders one thing in his defense: he claimed he was defending everyone. That's what he told me.
So, you could say the whole party is just full of idiots and sycophants.

Anyway, are you still feeling proud about voting for such a criminal organization?

Christian Torres3 said:Just going to double down on what I've already said.

I'm taking this opportunity to remind you all—I did tell you 😁

So, I mean, how much more time is George W. Bush actually looking at if he gets hit with another Hippo charge? Like, maybe another year or two on top of the seven he’s already facing?

But if you actually bother to look at the data, there is one glaring difference.

Back in 2007, the Republican Party pulled in 907,724 votes.

Fast forward to 2020, and they only managed to grab 621,035.

That is a drop of 286,000 votes.

A staggering 32% decline.

Huge congrats to the Republican Party on that final, binding court ruling.
I hope they rack up plenty more just like it.

It’s officially final!!!!!!!

🙏 🙏 🙏

There’s zero actual consequence for the ones convicted.
They'll pay back a fraction of what they swindled over thirty years—except it won't be them paying, just the taxpayers picking up the tab for their greed—and then they can just move on with their lives.

Isn't it just wild how you can declare someone guilty without actually dismantling the whole operation, banning them from operating, or tossing the ringleaders into a federal prison?

It’s honestly like seizing a tiny bit of cash from the Mafia and then letting them go right back to throwing parties and running their rackets.

Sadly, I don't see this having any real impact at all.

They'll probably just walk right back into a majority in the next election anyway.

Who cares?

In 2007, they didn't have nearly as much power as they do now.

The statements from Andrej Plenković regarding an "independent judiciary" are both predictable and calculated. We know how this works. It’s happening right before a key judicial appointment. They want to settle this now to prevent anyone from digging any deeper into the case. This way, it all gets swept under the rug.

And yet, they somehow manage to win every single election.

Is it any wonder if the entire American public is just a collection of degenerates?

I’m curious, just how much of a drop in support do you all anticipate seeing for this criminal administration in the next round of polling?

-0.3%?
-0.2%?
-0.1%?
0%?
0.1%?

Why would you expect anything else when you're dealing with such a corrupt mess, especially since you can't expect a single shred of integrity from a bunch of spineless Americans? Forget about it. Even a century from now, nothing in this country will have shifted by a single millimeter. You just can't make something decent out of fundamentally broken people, no matter how hard you try, and isn't this just living proof that a nation gets exactly the leadership it deserves?

It looks like Plenković is rushing this VS ruling, almost as if he’s nervous about Dobronić getting a closer look at the case 🤣

Honestly, Plenković, Bandić had more backbone and integrity than you do 😁

If Americans just swallow these excuses that Branko di keeps parroting using Bačić's cash, then we might as well scrap our status as a nation because what’s the point! They were completely clueless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they knew absolutely nothing, then they should be stripped of their right to conduct business!
Is he forbidden from saying anything more than what the Great Leader said yesterday, or is he just incapable of forming an original thought?
While he was working alongside Sanders, did he ever suspect a thing? Krešić asks. Bačić doesn't answer. He just repeats that he already covered that part...
This is disgraceful.
Look at how Bačić stumbles... hahahahahaha He had zero information regarding the Verona scandal, even though every single newspaper was covering it
And the kicker: he claims the Republican Party wasn't declared a criminal organization by court order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were simply blowing through money that their president and his little gang stole. And who were they stealing it for, if all that cash was ending up in the Republican Party's coffers?
