But but but there's an upside! 

The only upside is that now we can stop hoping that a 6 thousand year old cabal cult will let itself be taken out by a negative ruling by a court.

Lloyd Christmas and Charlie Brown still think there is a chance of that.

Anyone in or near Nebraska know more about the floated name or new Gov? Hopefully Sinema will act more rogue and vote the right way more often.

Ben Sasse Officially Leaves US Senate

Ben Sasse officially left the U.S. Senate on Jan. 8 to become president of a college in Florida.

Sasse, 50, announced he was departing at noon on Sunday in a recent resignation letter to then-Gov. Pete Ricketts, a Republican.

He said in the letter he was confident that Republican Jim Pillen, who succeeded Ricketts on Jan. 5, would appoint someone to the vacant seat “who will serve Nebraskans well in Washington.”

Sasse’s departure takes Republicans down to 48 senators. That will go back up to 49 once Sasse’s replacement is selected. Democrats, with the help of nominal independents, control 51 seats.

Serving in Congress since 2015, Sasse was re-elected in 2020. Senate terms are six years.

Under Nebraska law, the governor appoints a replacement if either Senate seat representing Nebraska becomes vacant. A special election will be held in 2024 for voters to choose who serves the remainder of the term.

Ricketts has been floated as a possible pick for Pillen to appoint to the vacant seat. Democrats have criticized the possibility.
