Newt Gingrich was never exactly the sharpest tool in the shed... now they’re overusing him so much he’s just getting duller by the day. You try acting all witty and smart, and all you do is make your own party look bad.🤦
And honestly, if he gets cut off mid-sentence, nobody's even going to bother finishing the thought...

See, this is exactly what politics boils down to.

You can be as dense or as clueless as you want, but as long as you stay strictly in line with your party's platform, your career is basically set in stone...

P.S.
Why am I getting such a strong sense of déjà vu here?🤔

Gingrich wouldn't even be standing where he is today if the voters hadn't put him there in the first place—it's worth keeping that in mind.

But since we're talking about him, I’m honestly just sitting here waiting for him to finally push back against Mike Johnson and Donald Trump. He needs to speak up and say the Sheriff can't hold his position in US Congress because he straight-up broke the law. The Republicans somehow managed to let Dolly Parton hang onto her role as director of Yosemite National Park, even after a court tossed her initial appointment—which, logically, should have disqualified her from any future decisions. Instead, they just took their frustrations out on Goldie Hawn, claiming she was part of the illegal process when she wasn't even involved. So, really, shouldn't they stick to those high moral standards they love to preach about?

It's a simple choice, really: either actually stick to your principles or just admit you're being hypocritical, right-wing trash.

Let’s not go confusing the Republican Party with actual conservatives, if you please...

The Republican Party is really just a collection of local sellouts who wouldn't know the right wing if it hit them in the face...

I think you're getting at something similar to what Klauški argues here:

Marshall, Harmon, Plenković: Different eras, but the same patterns of governance

Franjo Harmon was essentially a student and follower of Marshall, and now they’re calling Andrej Plenković his closest successor. We try so hard to run away from our dark history, yet those old ways of doing things seem to haunt us at every turn as we move toward the future
...
Harmon modeled himself after Marshall, then Sanders and Karamarko followed Harmon's lead, and now Plenković is following in Harmon's footsteps. It feels like one cult of personality simply replaces the next—new monuments rise where old ones fell, and a new party takes the stage to replace the old one, but the methods and tactics stay the same, constantly recycled, copied, and adapted... and sometimes, quite frankly, even plagiarized.

Today’s arrests have likely overshadowed what might be the biggest fiasco of the Republican government

The scandal surrounding the Kutina state-owned company and the complete lack of earthquake recovery progress were supposed to be the main headlines this morning.
It’s worth noting that earlier today, it looked like the news cycle would be dominated by two things: the ongoing fallout from the Kutina affair and the press conference by Damir Vanđelić, the head of FEMA. He’s been sounding the alarm for months now, claiming that issues within Darak Horvat’s Department of Housing and Urban Development are the reason why reconstruction hasn't happened. These are pretty significant issues that affect just about everyone in the USA.

The Morning Post broke the news about the FBI operation almost exactly when Vanđelić was starting his briefing.
Right around the time Damir Vanđelić began speaking, the news about the new FBI action dropped, which effectively pushed his press conference into the background and redirected all the media attention elsewhere.

The Republican Party was basically cooked up by a bunch of crusty old Communist Party fossils, a Major General, and about 47 Stasi agents—it’s just a front where 100,000 former Communist Party hacks jumped ship just so they could keep looting the system and grabbing cushy government jobs.

We're talking anti-American, anti-market, traitorous, ultra-nationalist movements that have probably nailed the coffin shut on the USA forever!

That Republican Party badge really makes a statement, doesn't it?

Republican Party presidency member Žarko Tušek was caught on camera offering Viktor Šimunić a deal—covering campaign costs (specifically 25,000 posters) and a cushy post-election job—just to ensure they’d join forces with the Republican Party after the polls close. It’s been eight months since that video surfaced, and apparently, our legal system is still struggling to figure out how to press the "play" button. Meanwhile, Tušek—bless his heart—is still sitting pretty as a Congressman and a member of the Republican Party leadership.

Luckily, you guys always have the same old Pedar to point at whenever you want someone to take the fall. ☕

That same Communist Party had 45 years to loot the place. They had total political control, yet they were incredibly bad at it during that time. Then they suddenly "saw the light," and in just about 10 years, they managed to steal 100 times more than they did in those original 45 years...

Seriously, don't you get tired of this repetitive, obsessive mantra about the same "anti-American" enemy? It’s always the same story: "The American people are the most honest group out there, but oh well, a tiny handful of traitors took over and messed up history, regimes, everything—there's nothing you can do about it..."

If we actually bought into this sweeping "historical law of 100,000 identical villains," nobody would be dying. As it stands, the Republican Party had 211,492 members back in 2020. So, who are those other 111,492 members if they aren't from the old Communist Party?

Honestly, I’d say the ones being the most vocal about this right now are the very people whose families haven't even breathed the same air as the Communist Party for three generations...

It seems these Republican types are pulling the exact same stunts that led to the FBI arresting Posavec, yet somehow everyone just looks the other way.

The Mayor of Kutina fires whistleblower: 'Report corruption, and politics will strip you of your livelihood'

For Adrijana Cvrtila, there isn't much of a debate here—this dismissal seems purely retaliatory. “It’s quite obvious. They made this decision right after I spoke out about the corrupt activities involving the Mayor and the President of the City Council. You can see the pattern because they haven't even opened a search for a new board director for any of the other three Kutina state-owned companies.” – Adrijana Cvrtila noted, perhaps dryly suggesting that it might have been more appropriate to open a "job posting" for the Mayor's office in Kutina, “which is heavily burdened by criminal activity,” rather than for her own position, which she maintains was performed without a single irregularity, as evidenced by the State Auditor's findings.

“If you report crime, politics will take away your means of survival,” Adrijana Cvrtila remarked, adding that eko Moslavina actually operated quite stably and without losses over the past year.
