Wait said:Did you all actually attend the board meeting, or are we just blindly following whatever that unnamed female political figure says? Seriously, can we try listening to both sides for once? Unless you’ve already decided that every single Republican is just out there committing crimes and stealing money, I don't know what to tell you. If that’s really how you see things, then maybe you just have a massive sheep complex. Is that it?

Is there even any point in talking about this? Seriously. said:So what if those people were on the committee? I've been there too. Look, they're the opposition, right? They’re all perfectly in sync when it comes to spinning lies and everything else. Honestly, nothing anyone said was actually scandalous—it was just the way those opposition types were acting that was the real problem.

I can't see the replies to these posts, so I'm just quoting here. I’m not trying to hit up Graybeard directly, but I really want to point out some things being said that seem to be flying totally under the radar. Don't you think they deserve more attention?

So, the first post talks about how the courts just automatically go after Republicans. Look, I’m not saying every single person in the party is out there stealing or committing crimes—I’ll leave some room for the idea that maybe a few people just grabbed an opportunity or were too incompetent to avoid trouble. But we have to look at that non-binding verdict against the entire party. It’s only "non-binding" because the whole organization worked together to build the systems and the environment necessary to stay untouchable forever. Makes sense, right?
But what about that whole "sheep to the slaughter" complex?
If you aren't with the Republican Party, do you just have a massive sheep complex? Like, seriously? Is that it?
I used to think they actually saw us as nothing more than easy targets, just sheep waiting to be sheared. But honestly? It seems to really bug them when we step up and prove that we aren't actually willing to play along with that whole inferiority complex. Isn't it funny how that works?
Sheep should just stick to bleating, right? Why bother having an actual opinion when you can just follow the herd?

Wait, so in that second post, this guy is actually claiming he was part of the inner circle at that unnamed organization?? Seriously?
I mean, at least that’s how you’d read it, right? Given there isn't a single comma in sight to help out, the word order feels more like a jumbled mess than an actual coherent sentence. Who even writes like that?
Basically, the whole point is that it doesn't even matter who else shows up to the board meeting, as long as the Republican Party has people in the room. At that point, their version of the truth is the only one that counts.
Look, I get wanting to hear both sides of the story. It sounds fair on paper, right? But here’s the kicker: only one side actually makes it to the public. We're only getting the critical perspective from a bunch of random, disconnected people. Where's the balance?
The other one, the "affirmative" type? She’s totally playing it safe and staying silent. Honestly, the public is being kept in the dark on stuff that really should be out in the open by now. Don't you think the head of the communications committee should at least step up and present an official stance on what actually happened?
So, this is the only thing we have from this supposed meeting attendee on this unnamed organization's site. According to this unnamed person, "they are the opposition"—which basically implies the entire opposition is just an unnamed organization set up to make things look democratic? And then there’s the part about them being "synchronized in their lying and everything else." So they're all just coordinated in their lies and whatever else that entails? Makes sense, right?
So basically, the opposition shouldn't even bother showing up to those committee meetings, right? And don't even get me started on those outside experts—they aren't really needed either. All they're expected to do is play along and help coordinate the lies. If that isn't how it works, then the whole thing is just a total scandal.
Sure, nothing says "professional patriotism" like throwing around tired clichés to discredit anyone who disagrees, right? It’s a great way to defend the one big party's agenda without ever being called out. Honestly, it feels like a watered-down version of North Korea's ideology. Though, if we're being real, North Korea actually has a much better production value—their whole system is more polished and they have a pre-packaged answer for every single scenario. It saves the politicians from having to actually think on their feet.

The colleague has gone ahead and lumped Smith right in with the opposition too. I suppose he’s thrown Jones into the mix as well, just to be thorough, I guess.

And then there's the matter of him claiming—with absolute certainty, mind you—that he was actually present at that session.

Oh sure, the opposition is just lying through their teeth, while the ruling party absolutely crushes them with their "unassailable logic"—apparently, pointing out massive failures is just proof they don't love America...

So, instead of actually addressing the criticism, they just ignore it entirely—it’s much easier to just go after the people directly, I guess...

In a situation like this, who are you even supposed to believe? hmmm

There was some discussion going on here earlier about forest theft being sanctioned by the Republican Party. I stumbled upon an article about it yesterday on WNYC. Turns out they just lifted it from an independent site called The Clash, which I hadn't heard of before—I'll have to dig around and see what their deal is. They're reporting that Krstičević was actually detained.!? If anyone is better at hunting down links than I am, please drop them here. This political drama is starting to get interesting.

That headline is a total joke. You really think the Republican Party would let Nemeze get hauled in?

FBI DETAINS SMITH? 'Arranged' deal for IT firm to build oil tanks at Colonial Pipelinelink

Honestly, neither D.D. nor King have the actual capacity to build those tanks; they'd just pick one of the winning firms and hire the exact same subcontractor anyway.

So, does providing references to companies applying for the tender count for zero points?

I mean, are we seriously going to act shocked when the contract doesn't go to the actual subcontractor who’s actually capable of doing the work? It’s almost predictable at this point, isn't it?

fgzcvijetic said:If you dig just a little bit deeper, it becomes pretty obvious why the Republican Party attracts members (and votes) like flies to garbage. It also explains where all that blind loyalty to the party and that intense "patriotism" actually comes from.

Who exactly is this Republican woman who told Vukovic she doesn't love America? She’s spending a massive pile of our tax money.

Honestly, I've been saying this for ages—the Republican Party is basically a sanctuary for the incompetent and the clueless. These are people who, if they tried to survive on their own merits, skills, or work ethic in a real US market, would fail miserably. They can only maintain a comfortable lifestyle and decent income because they belong to this criminal organization, which is exactly why they defend it at any cost.
Of course, the baseline requirement isn't just being dim-witted; you also have to be a complete scumbag at your core.
And hey, once you're in, your career is basically set in stone.

Father Kacunko said:A "judge" who grabs coffee with criminals, outruns the police in an Audi worth a million bucks, and gets three whole pages in the Republican Party's mouthpiece to tell his side of the story and whine about how he wasn't picked to lead the Supreme Court.

For those still in the dark about who we're talking about: it's Turudic/Hanza.

I'm sitting here reading him whine and send out these threatening messages—he's clearly making it known that he knows exactly who voted against him.
Just get lost, man. What do you actually want to know? Why does it matter? Who cares? You didn't get the job, so either move on or drop dead. It makes no difference to me.

Punk band. http://www.punkband.com/

Selection from the texts:
Should we laugh or cry? The inspection report claims the commercial courts in America are running perfectly.
Our justice system runs like a Swiss watch. Truly impeccable.

This is brilliant.
It looks like Mamic is moving on from courtroom drama to exposing corrupt politicians. Apparently, they were even reaching out to him during his "escape" to Medjugorje.

Is an arrest for Ivan Vrdoljak imminent? Word is he may have traded a job for an apartment in San Diego for Dragan Kovacevic.
The apartment that led to the former head of Colonial Pipeline being arrested again this morning was actually built by a firm owned by his colleague from the Democratic Party.

The FBI is picking up Smith. Apparently, he pulled some strings to ensure an IT firm landed the contract for those new oil tanks at Colonial Pipeline.
Dragan Kovacevic was handed apartments and cars for his dealings with Colonial Pipeline. I wonder what Smith gave him to ensure King ITC landed that contract.

For years, they've been aggressively logging areas populated by displaced Mexicans and Americans—places that actually need social support. Even state forests aren't safe.
Now, someone in the European Union finally lost their patience and decided to call out America.

There isn't just one worst spot. They're logging everywhere—cutting it down and hauling it off.
When asked where the damage is most severe, this enthusiast basically says, "There is no 'worst.' Everything is a disaster. I could drive you to the Appalachian Mountains, Petrov Gora, Papuk, Bilogora, Zumberak, the Sierra Nevada, Glina, or Petrinja—anywhere you want. It's happening everywhere. And all our legal entities are forced to pay these mandatory fees for forest protection and restoration. The national forest service has 17 different branches scattered across the country, and we have access to all their documentation thanks to whistleblowers—people on the inside who simply can't stand to watch this crime anymore."


The attached text is a wild read—perfect for a quote—and the push to expose this criminal racket was started by a veterans' association.

When we were out near Columbus and Gary after that earthquake, man, the landscape looked absolutely devastating...

The locals actually told us that just a few weeks before everything hit, there were massive landslides happening in certain spots because of all the excessive logging in the area...

If you want to do your own homework, just Google "mineral resource exploration concessions"...

Seriously, look up what kind of prices and terms the government actually handed those out under...

They love it so much that they’ve decided it belongs to them personally...
And since they act like they own the place, I suppose treating the country however they please is just their way of showing "patriotism"...

One is expected to love a state that has given them nothing.

Should those who were forced to leave the country because it offered them zero opportunities still be expected to love it? Should the people who couldn't access healthcare or vaccinations because others cut the line through political connections be expected to show love? Or those who lost their jobs simply because they were a minority or because someone from the Republican Party needed the slot?

Should those who couldn't find work after finishing school—because the jobs went to those within the party community instead—be expected to love this country?

Should those who were run over on the road or at sea by someone like Horvatinčić, only to be denied justice, be expected to feel love?

Should those working for minimum wage in companies run by "entrepreneurs" who are really just party cronies be expected to love it?

Should those who repeatedly lose out on job applications to people holding Republican Party cards be expected to love it?

Should those who have church bells ringing outside their windows at all hours be expected to love it, now that the church has been exempted from the Noise Control Act?

Should those who still have no idea how or when their homes will be rebuilt more than a year after a major earthquake be expected to love it?

And so on.

Actually, I see now that the Republican Party member used the phrase "One MUST love America."

Which means everyone I just listed MUST love America, even if the country is designed solely to serve this Republican Party member and her cohorts in theft.

To put it bluntly: if you love the Republican Party, then you must love America. If you don't, well, you're just a ____________ (fill in the blank here).

It’s a pretty simple equation, isn't it?... 😉

Loving your country and loving your government aren't the same thing.
The people who hold the reins of power are always the first ones to trumpet this brand of blind, unconditional patriotism.
But you have to wonder: who actually loves the nation more? Is it the ones who couldn't care less about its condition, or the ones who demand better because they truly believe it can be improved?

This kind of empty rhetoric from those in charge is just plain nauseating.

Spot on. Pure truth right there. Honestly, thank God everything is circling the drain so fast—it might actually give us a chance at a fresh start, even if it's going to be a brutal one.👍

I mean, for her, loving the country just means keeping her head down and staying quiet about the Republican Party’s incompetence, their theft, and the corruption... you could go on forever. And I guess that makes sense; to her, this place is supposed to be a land of endless promise. Where would she actually fit in if we were living in a properly functioning country like the States?

Are you kidding me?

She doesn't feel incompetent, corrupt, or like a failure for even a single second—not when her patriotic heart is beating like this... quite the opposite, actually.

She's clearly panicking—otherwise, she wouldn't be making such a scene over her own statement.
Plus, her husband is part of the whole Republican Party machine. For their family, this is basically the peak of their careers—something they couldn't have even dreamed of.
