Insane,
so you can just offer a high-ranking role at a government agency as a payoff for political favors.
The key is just negotiating, bartering, and cutting the deal ahead of time.

can Sabo sue them or something now?

The mother of the local Republican Party leader is headed to prison, yet the Department is being tight-lipped about whether she’s actually started serving her sentence.

Vinka Luetić Herman In a final, binding ruling, Vinka Luetić Herman—who previously headed the audit committee for disability claims at the Social Security Administration—was found to have engaged in morally deviant behavior to boost her own net worth, all in direct violation of the law. The wife of once-influential Republican member Radoslav Herman and mother of the current president of the Republican branch in Scranton, Mislav Herman.She’s been sentenced to sixteen months in prison for bribery. According to Time, who obtained the full verdict—which became final on February 28, 2020—there are still plenty of unanswered questions and massive gaps in the case. If anything, though, this whole mess just highlights the unbreakable link between the judicial system and the Republican Party whenever they need to protect one of their own.

It’s frankly scandalous that the Department of Justice is keeping this under wraps. We still don't know if Mislav Herman’s mother has actually started serving her prison sentence—a sentence handed down by a final ruling that, according to Time, was kept from the American public for a year and a half. In other high-profile cases involving names like Horvatinčić, Sanders, or Širić, the public was entitled to know exactly when convicts were sent to serve their time, or if they weren't, why they were being delayed and how many times it happened. Yet, in this specific case—which is incredibly politically sensitive—the Department is choosing silence. It’s particularly messy because Mislav Herman is currently the most visible political figure in the Herman family, and the whole clan has been tied to the Republican Party for decades. They essentially represent the core of the establishment.


According to a report from Time, things are getting messy with the investigation into the former boss's mother. It seems like the FBI is digging deep into how certain funds were handled, and the implications for those involved are pretty significant. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if the Department of Justice decides to make a move, but honestly, it feels like this could drag on forever. Maybe there's more to the story than what's being reported right now, but for now, the scrutiny remains intense.

Wait, so the Republican Party just cut him loose? I guess you can't exactly walk away from the Republican Party on your own terms without consequences.

NO LUCK AFTER LEAVING THE GOP: Former Governor finds himself without an apartment in Washington, D.C.

Just another example of how the Republican Party operates like a criminal cartel.

As long as you remain aligned with them, they provide protection. The moment you decide to deviate from the party line, you become utterly irrelevant.

Hahahaha. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the Republican Party gets nothing more than a slap on the wrist, letting them walk away without ever seeing the inside of a jail cell. In a lawless state like this, anything is on the table!

I'm really hoping to see some journalists dig into this—like, why isn't the lady actually behind bars yet?

Indianapolis is providing retirees with $100 over the next three months, along with a one-time payment of $267 for unemployed single individuals

I suppose this is just how the Republican Party operates—buying votes with quick cash injections instead of actually implementing reforms or fixing the system so we don't constantly need these kinds of emergency interventions

Herman on Open: Our parents aren't happy with this policy. You can't argue with instinct, and Mom is always right..🙄

Herman-Rubalica is unbeatable 🤣

With him leading the Republican Party here in Washington, D.C., Muriel Bowser will likely stay mayor until she retires.

I actually froze for a second when Kekinica brought up her mom. 🤣

How would Elizabeth Warren even react if Bernie Sanders brought up his stepmother—that stubborn old political veteran Miran Šitum 🙂
? It would be a total disaster right in the middle of Open 🤣

Honestly, I wanted to ask the Sandersian why she’s so worked up, using Dilbert's sweaty rhetoric to do it. 🤣

An undercover investigator called out a Republican official from California who was allegedly trying to grease some palms over on Martha's Vineyard


Here’s how this Republican mayor apparently blew through taxpayer funds: He kept ordering cheap construction materials, paying double their actual value, and then just tearing them down anyway

So they catch a Republican in California, and then he gets busted trying to cover his tracks on top of it. 🤦

No, this isn't some leftover from the Bush era. This is something entirely different—this is full-blown MAGA.🙄

And on top of all that, they think they can just boss people around... I honestly don't know how they even came up with that idea. It's left me feeling pretty stunned. ☕

Even at places like Martha's Vineyard where Marshall used to spend his summers... I don't know... he always seemed like a pretty shady character to me.

It’s pretty suspicious when you look at it, honestly. You can see they’re outmaneuvering both the newcomers and the younger generation combined when it comes to how they justify dumping money into real estate—all while claiming it’s going to benefit the public in the end 😁

Police just hauled Gabriela Žalac away!

Since the crack of dawn, there've been two unmarked cars idling right outside Gabriela Žalac's family home over in Indianapolis.

Poor Sad Gabi... I guess everything just went south once the Governor finally took a breather.
