Republican Party - General Discussion

Anušić went off on Pupovac, claiming he’s the one behind this whole mess.
I get that election season is hitting hard, but I wonder what Plenković and Pupovac are even going to say about this...

What do you think they'll say? We're less than two weeks out from the election—anything goes at this stage. It’s all perfectly synchronized within the coalition. They’ll be licking each other's wounds in exactly four weeks... and then everything will be "fine" again! Until then, Pupovac stays quiet, and Plenković won't even have time to process what Anušić actually said.

Unnamed counterpart one year after the tragedy at the San Francisco nursing home: A few old folks passed away, and now you want to pin the blame on me?

unnamed counterpart:

That whole mess in San Francisco went national pretty fast, I guess. It didn't take long to find out that the director of that nursing home—you know, the guy who basically got the job through local political connections—is unnamed counterpart. He’s an archaeologist by trade, just your typical Republican operative and former mayor of an unnamed counterpart, who somehow landed that director gig because unnamed counterpart was pulling the strings back when he was county supervisor.

Who exactly is trying to hold him accountable?

We all know the Republican Party (whether it was unnamed counterpart or unnamed counterpart, I can't quite recall which) has already decided who takes the fall.

It’s the virus, of course. Don't we all remember that?

unnamed counterpart:

Even before election Sunday on May 16th, about ten percent of all 555 cities and towns—mostly those smaller places—already have their mayors set. In those areas, there’s only one candidate on the ballot. Because of that, the Republican Party can basically claim victory in four cities and 44 municipalities right now. That’s based on the candidate lists posted on the Federal Election Commission website. The Republican Party has already locked in mayoral wins in: unnamed counterpart (where the candidate is unnamed counterpart, a current member of Congress), unnamed counterpart (where the candidate is unnamed counterpart), unnamed counterpart (where the candidate is unnamed counterpart), and unnamed counterpart (where the candidate is unnamed counterpart).

It doesn't surprise me much regarding the small municipalities, but it's still hard to wrap my head around the fact that there isn't even an opposition party in places like unnamed counterpart or unnamed counterpart.

Is it just me, or is it a total mystery how the entire party membership can suddenly turn around and back Plenković's coalition with the minority party, all while viciously attacking people they used to bash just not that long ago?

Honestly, if anything, the guy did the budget a favor... he's a victim here, not some criminal. 😁

Yeah, I swear, some people just blow my mind with how dense they are. Seriously, if I ever felt like moving to a place like that and running for office myself, I'd be shocked. 🙄

Give me a break.

Look, this actually might not even be a bad thing—it could be the exact opposite.

Aside from places like our little unnamed counterpart and maybe a few others, we’re mostly talking about tiny towns where practically everyone knows everyone else by sight. If the same person keeps getting elected year after year in places where neighbors actually know each other, it isn't a red flag. In fact, it usually means things are running smoothly. These aren't massive metropolitan areas where a mayor can just hand out a bunch of cushy government jobs to swing an election.

Think about those small towns where you’ve had the same leader for 15 or 20 years and they aren't even tied to a major party machine... you can pretty much assume people are happy with how things are going. That's just it.

Sure, for a place like our unnamed counterpart, it might seem a bit weird, but for most of the towns on this list? It’s not strange at all, and it’s definitely not a bad sign.

Or maybe, like what happened in unnamed counterpart, the town is on life support. People have just given up. There's no hope left that things will ever change or get better.

UNNAMED COUNTERPART
A desolate border town with half its population gone: No young people left, and two-thirds of the jobs have vanished...

I mean, I assume those kinds of extreme cases exist, but San Francisco and a bunch of the other places mentioned definitely don't fall into that category.

At the end of the day, I don't know exactly what's going down in all these spots, but from what I've seen, having only one candidate isn't necessarily a bad sign or a red flag... honestly, it's often the exact opposite.
In the big cities, it feels totally weird and I can't quite put my finger on why... but small towns have their own internal logic and rhythm, and people there basically know everyone on the ballot personally.

If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, you can bet your life it’s a duck 😉

... he should come to see me alone... ☕

The takeaway from this report: if everything was truly above board, why did the wind farm owner, unnamed counterpart, visit the minister, unnamed counterpart, before the loan was even approved? And more importantly, why did unnamed counterpart insist that unnamed counterpart show up solo?

Police raided an activist's apartment just because a Republican official thinks someone vandalized his campaign poster

The mayor of our local area and a Republican Party congressman, unnamed counterpart, has leveled accusations against opposition leader unnamed counterpart, claiming his posters were defaced...
It honestly feels like we’ve slipped into North Korea; uniformed officers showed up at this man's door first thing in the morning, pulling him away from his wife and child while they were still reeling from the shock, only to haul him down to the station to analyze his handwriting, scan his fingerprints, grill him on his knowledge of Latin, and eventually conduct a full search of his home. The whole ordeal dragged on for a good two hours...

Meanwhile, it took fifteen years for anyone to even catch the actual arsonist... 🙄
So, by all means, go ahead and vote Republican... 😵

Man, if only I could have been a fly on the wall in that room while they were busy interrogating him about his grasp of Latin... 🕺

It’s honestly the same old story everywhere you look. Our country is just riddled with examples where even the mayors in tiny little towns don't have any real budget to work with—nothing substantial besides using local hiring as a way to play favorites or hand out favors to their buddies. It’s a pattern you see over and over again.
I mean, I'm totally on board with that... 🙄

Come on, give me at least one or two examples from your own experience.

Honestly, we should just switch over to something like Microsoft. I feel like the servers would crash even faster than they did when that viral video leaked on the local forums. 🤣

So, I’m looking at this doctor standing right outside the cancer center, and he’s saying there aren't even any radiologists available. You've got a woman with cancer who needs radiological imaging, but it’s just not there, so he can't even start her treatment. Period.

That’s basically the reality of things over there right now.

He’s even saying the whole crew—surgeons, gynecologists, the entire medical staff—might just start handing in their resignations.

Then you have this other doctor saying she's being accused of "refusing to do her job," and apparently, those kinds of attacks are really getting to her.
https://hr.n1info.com/n1-tv-live-stream/
She’s insisting she handles all the emergency MRIs and the preoperative scans, claiming she's never denied anyone that service and nobody has been left hanging without it, or whatever.

It honestly feels like a huge group of doctors is rallying behind the exact same sentiment.

It’s a total disaster.

But seriously, what kind of leverage does this woman actually have over the President, the Health Secretary, and that whole crowd to prevent them from just firing her already?

There’s gotta be something there. I know the President can be a lot of things, but he isn't stupid; he knows exactly when a situation is turning into a massive political disaster.

Nothing's gonna change this unless they settle with a couple bags of potatoes. Maybe.

So, unnamed counterpart from an unnamed counterpart used unnamed counterpart to install energy-efficient lighting on public streets just to cut down electricity costs, yet somehow their lighting expenses actually went up!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY KNOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

***** unnamed counterpart replaced unnamed counterpart at the state house when he was busted in that unnamed counterpart scandal 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Speed traps everywhere!

Just being honest, I guess
