Hahahahaha.
Them damn pigs.
May I hire you as my secretary? LOL ...
Geeze, I got my hands full just with drafting this resolution of censure!
Do you know how many Republicans show up when I hold our County Convention, to elect party officers and choose delegates for the State Convention? Two or three, including me.
I ‘ve been stuck with the county chairmanship since 2012. Heck, I did not even run for a committeeman slot on the SSC, but somehow I got elected to the position!
The more I show up, the more I speak out, the more responsibility Republicans in my Congressional District decide to throw on my shoulders. Last evening, another county chair requested that I run for office - against Congressman Adrian Smith! To which request I replied NO!
Unfortunately for me, the apathy here among the agricultural folk is thick - or at least it was up until now.
Hey old-ager, do this one next.
Well then that would explain allot.
Great resolution but add that he should resign his seat immediately!
> Well then that would explain allot.
Getting near my allotment for the day!
Agree. Many of us are not willing to lose the country we plus generations of our family fought for and died for.
Agree, Sasse as described earlier is like no Nebraskan I ever knew. I want him GONE.
Outstanding.
Excellent summary of the facts.
But, censure?
Meaningless.
The state GOP should demand his resignation.
There is another new thread on FR right now advocating, basically, no resistance beyond prayer. Those Christians prioritize the “turn the other cheek” admonition while disregarding other, greater, admonitions that basically add up to having self-respect for oneself and love for others (the 2nd Greatest Commandment). How can one love their neighbors by turning away while some neighbors are aborted with government approval, and others are robbed, swindled, brainwashed, and have their freedoms taken away by their own government sworn to protect them?
IMO, of all the arguments used to damage Trump in the 2020 election, this is the one that did the most damage. And, it is total B.S. right out of the DNC, told so often without serious pushback from the President's "allies" that tens of millions of people swallowed it, hook, line, and sinker.
I mean, I know JimRob has asked us all to be more civil, but this infuriates me so much... it's pretty dang difficult to express myself sufficiently without turning this post blue-hot. THE ABOVE QUOTE ALONE should get Sasse removed from any possible Republican Party support.
I'll tell you what, Senator Sasse, I know your arrogant derrière would never condescend to debate a FReeper, and you'll probably never see this post, but I challenge you to get on a stage with me, all media watching, and give me equal time, and I'll shred these feces coming out of your pie-hole and throw them straight to Hades where they belong.
Just one example:
I listened to most of those early press conferences and statements, read transcripts of many, and have excellent reading and listening comprehension skills: I not once took President Trump to state or even imply that "10 to 14 days of shutdown would fix this." What twisted political balderdash you speak! Nor did Dr. Fauci, Dr. Birx, VP Pence, Sec. Azar, etc. say such. I CLEARLY understood from President Trump on down that the initial shutdown was in a situation of uncertainty (some models showing very high fatalities in the 1st few months), but it would buy time to help prepare the health care system response, and would reduce the initial surge of serious illnesses and fatalities such that the health care system would not be overwhelmed. President Trump also CLEARLY understood and stated the lockdowns were a temporary measure and should not be overdone. He said over and over and over and over that the "cure" (plainly understood by anyone not a moron to be the initial slowdown of the virus spread and fatalities) should not be worse than the disease.
In point of fact, despite some serious "curb-to-curb", mistakes and misteps by advisers and agencies such as Dr. Fauci, the CDC (what a God-awful incompetent-where-it-most-counts "deep state" entrenched gov't agency!), and the Surgeon General, the initial surge was mitigated to be not as bad as feared. After that, there is little to criticize about the President's approach. OTOH, most of the rest of the above group I think should be jailed for ongoing-to-Jan.20 incompetence, causing in my estimation at least 100k and maybe 200k unnecessary fatalities, as well as great (and mostly unnecessary) economic damage. Granted most of the State Governors are no better, but they can probably claim they turned to the "Feds" for guidance. I'd suggest you address that, but I've heard nothing to indicate you even recognize the root problems, just the symptoms. Anything to bash Trump? Bah!
I am undecided if you need an English comprehension course, a primer in honesty, are too infatuated with power, or have just been in DC too long. All the above?
The best summary I have for you, Senator Sasse, is "Get Thee behind me." Or, if you can figure out what's best for America (doubtful, you've been a pol too long), apologize to the people and get Thee behind the 99% great and decent citizens who are President Trump supporters.
No. You'd have to catch him in some illegality, etc., to make him resign. Sasse might be smart enough to stay clean.
Figure out how to dry up some of the money and primary him.
LOL - is that the Q solution?
The point is - Sasse, and the Political Left, are convinced that the Republican Party will never fight back, no matter how grave the insult or the betrayal.
So far, Sasse and the Political Left are absolutely correct.
Q solution?
You smoking some pretty good weed?
Q would suggest Lin Wood drop the Kraken in a 4-D chess move. Or similar nonsense.
Look, I don’t suppose a GOP State Committee resolution to demand resignation would hurt - other than the Committee better be sure that just in case Sasse chickens out and resigns the Governor better have a good replacement lined up. But, I just don’t see where such a demand adds much additional effect to the already suggested censure. Sasse will likely ignore the demand like a T. Rex brushing off a toothpick thrown at him.
These Rinos lifeblood is the money. With it I’d argue Sasse doesn’t even need the State GOP Committee. Plus the RNC and the NRSC will likely not abandon him. But, divert some of those donors to a good Primary candidate and we’d have a chance. MAYBE the Committee would pound the streets for such an opponent. That’s the sort of thing that can have some real teeth.
The Q solution - as detailed at Free Republic over the last three years - is to always do nothing.
Conservatives and the Republican Party have had no consequential leadership since we allowed the Democrats to destroy Newt Gingrich in 1995.
We stand for nothing, we defend nothing, and we never fight back when we are attacked by our own members or by others.
Cheney can put some fake Republicans in the primary, and three or four of them can dilute the support of the first opponent, the state senator who quickly announced a challenge to Cheney.
What NE needs are senators who would follow the precedent of Senators Carl Curtis and Roman Hruska. Those two never backed down.
UPDATE:
As of this evening, 3 February 2021, The “ambulance barn” in Culbertson, Nebraska, has been reserved for an Emergency Meeting of the Hitchcock County Republican Party, and for any Republican resident of State Central Committee District 315 - which includes the Nebraska counties of Chase, Dundy, Furnas, Gosper, Harlan, Hayes, Hitchcock, Perkins, and Red Willow.
The meeting is scheduled for 2 PM CT, 6 February 2021. The purpose is to obtain signatures on a petition, for passage of the Censure Resolution, at the Nebraska GOP State Central Committee meeting, which is to be held 13 February 2021 in Columbus, Nebraska.
So far, there are 30+ people who have RSVP,d me personally - and a likely equal number have responded to individual with whom I am working. I have received calls from as far east as Lincoln, and as far west as Imperial, Nebraska.
This evening, I spoke with a reporter from Nebraska Television, who requested a copy of the resolution, and will likely cover the meeting.
Notice was placed in the McCook Gazette, and was also covered by Rich Barnett on the Open Line Program, broadcast through McCook radio station 1300 KBRL AM.
I also discovered that there are now several Facebook pages dedicated to Sasse’s censure and removal from office.
This thing has really grown legs - and people, who never before involved themselves in politics, are leaving their apathy in the dust and asking how they may get involved.
Senator Sasse has no idea of the barn fire he ignited.
Mitt Sasse thinks he’s a latter day William Jennings Bryan, a veritable Boy Orator of the Platte. He’ll have less success running for president than the original.
