Republican Party - General Discussion

It’s always the same crowd trying to justify the unjustifiable. 🙂

Naplaciva moved public funds into a private account. Even in Afghanistan, that’d land you in prison. 😬

They just cherry-picked the quote to make themselves look good.🤣🤣

I was wondering if any of you three had a chance to read that article yet?

"Everything was taken completely out of context. I really don't have anything else to say, and I won't be commenting further," they told Radoš Index.

Some Republican employees over at the Department posted a photo from the beach: "Back in the office Monday"

I guess you could say... let the kids have their fun. It's summer, after all—though I highly doubt they'll actually be sitting in an office in NYC this Monday 👍

The Spokesperson and the secretary are

At the request of the oversight body from the Central Agency for Financing and Contracting, Department staff visited the construction sites for the access roads near the Pelješac Bridge on Monday, August 23rd.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So that party actually pulls 30% in the polls...

I didn't mean to single anyone out specifically, but you hit the nail on the head there—honestly, maybe it’s actually a better setup that they're part of the youth council and one of them is serving as the spokesperson for the prayer group 🙏

That’s just how things work here in the States. You can't act surprised. Scandals are basically a permanent fixture within the Republican Party, but for some reason, their voters don't seem to mind at all.

Honestly, we should probably just register every single one of those party youth wing kids. Maybe put them on some kind of watchlist or something, just to be safe. I mean, if you ask me, there isn't a single one of them out there with actually decent intentions.

I read it.

So, in a single sentence, he just claims things were taken out of context—which is hilarious considering he’s being quoted specifically to claim they were taken out of context.
And that’s really all you’re latching onto? It’s perfectly natural for someone to try defending themselves, but since he's an idiot, he just fell back on that one predictable line that every fraud loves to use.

Your logic seems to be: "Well guys, he said it was taken out of context, and he would never lie. We should believe his word instead of the actual footage where he explicitly tells them to wire money to his account."

If you're just messing with me, my apologies, but I honestly can't tell.

So they finally explained the "context": apparently "everyone is on vacation"... ☕
I’m guessing it’s just some lady in accounting who’s out on summer break, and we all know how that goes—if she isn't there, nobody's looking at the books, right? How are payments even supposed to show up if there's no one to check them? You'd have to grab a token, log in, and manually filter the transactions from date to date...
Honestly, it's way easier to just hit up an ATM... plus, you don't even have to deal with the bookkeeping...

See, there it is... just a bit of sarcasm, I suppose.

Here is your daily dose of reality as we move forward.

Viktor Šimunić, the mayor of Oroslavlje, claims that the Republican Party administration in Oroslavlje has burned through $33 on toner alone in just over eighteen months.

THE REAL STORY - THE TONER SCAM FROM $33
https://web.facebook.com/viktor.simu...24008833702024

To everyone watching, after receiving quite a few questions about why I haven't been posting much lately, I decided it was time to speak up.

To those critics who might suggest I’m just spreading negativity, let me address that right out of the gate—I am not interested in being negative, nor do I thrive on anyone else's failures. My responsibility to my fellow citizens is simply to present the facts regarding how things have been handled thus far, what I intend to change, and how we can ensure these types of situations never happen again. Politicians really ought to evolve their methods and mindsets; all solutions should be aimed at the progress of society as a whole. Most importantly, we need to foster unity, which I suppose can only happen if our citizens feel that everyone carries equal rights and responsibilities, and that there is no favoritism toward buddies, relatives, friends, or political cronies...

What you see in this photo might look like nothing more than standard toner cartridges at first glance. But, if you look a little closer, you might realize that this setup is actually a goldmine for certain people. To explain my reasoning—it seems someone within the party owns a business, they install the printers, and then they sell the toner at incredibly inflated prices. It goes unnoticed, or perhaps people just choose not to notice, because I guess it's easy to dismiss it as just "office supplies."

In the Oroslavlje municipal administration, we have five printers serving only four employees. Between January 2020 and July 2021, believe it or not, more than $8,500 was spent on toner alone.

I have proposed a way to fix this. As of this week, we have added a sixth printer. It might sound a bit silly, but we’ve decided to trial a printer rental for one month, and during this period, we won't be using the old machines. After a month of testing, we will see what a monthly lease would actually cost us.

In my estimation, we should see savings of at least $3,300 over the course of a year. I should also mention that we’ll save money on paper too, since we used to pay full price for those 500-sheet reams $15(!?)

I’ve been discussing this matter with other local leaders, and some of them have already started auditing their own accounts; I encourage others to jump into the comments and share what they think about all of this.

If we assume that printing a single page on Amazon paper consumes only $0.33 worth of toner, it appears that each of our four employees has agreed to print 65 pages every single business day.

Every single workday.

Each of the four staff members.

Sixty-five printed pages per person.

The Republican Party is our plague, our cholera, our famine, our earthquakes, our wars, our floods, our droughts, our fires... none of these disasters could inflict as much misery upon us as the Republican Party has over the last thirty years.

Running a full-scale copy shop for Amazon-sized sheets—meaning you’ve got your own printer, your own toner supply, your own paper stock, plus all the overhead like taxes, equipment maintenance, rent, payroll, and so on and so forth—you're looking at paying $0.08 per sheet.

plus pocketing some extra cash on top...

He really lowballed this one, didn't he?
With original Brother toner, you’re looking at about 132,000 full-color pages. I mean, why would anyone need more? In my neck of the woods, they just print out utility bills in plain black ink. Nobody’s sending over picture books or coloring pages, right?
If I tried to swap out those parts, I’d be looking at 474,000 full colors. Honestly? Not gonna happen. The printer would probably just fall apart before I even got halfway through. Why bother?

$0.25I don't see any posts to work on! Send over the text you want me to rewrite, and I'll get right on it. Ready when you are! $0.07Check out this list for toner. We’re looking at savings of about... $23333 When I'm printing out picture books using the same printer and those generic replacement toners... honestly, I could find way cheaper printers if I really wanted to. Besides that one fancy little colored logo here and there, color isn't even a huge deal for me. I go through a ton of toner and paper, but with my old HP, I’m basically pulling it off at about a fraction of a cent per black-and-white page. Not bad, right?

I am not an educator...

I threw in a dollar just to make it visually obvious that it is impossible for them to have honestly spent $33 on toner over an 18-month period.

The police and the Department of Justice should be the ones determining what actually happened here. For theft exceeding $667, prosecution is mandatory.

At least $33 has been stolen here.

And that is just on toner alone.

Perhaps they were printing campaign materials for the Republican Party?

@Michael Jackson10: My Brother laser printer is constantly jamming on me; it keeps pulling two sheets at once and then the second one just gets stuck. Does anyone know who I should contact about this? I'm being completely serious.

Sorry if this is off-topic. Or maybe it isn't...
