so he's going to be president in like 3'ish years.
-
yeah, no.
http://theweek.com/articles/703442/ben-sasse-insufferable
-
Certainly possible
-
I wouldn't be mad if he was President. He's a much better human being than the people currently running things.
-
Not the worst. Wouldn't be too mad. Uses the word "jackwagon" a lot, tho
-
Nebraska snuck in Gerald Ford in a miracle once in a millennium act of god and will never send another native son to the whitehouse ever.
-
Also his opponent can just play that 30 second clip where bill Maher makes a horrible racist remark and he just sits their with a dumbass Nebraska hick smile on his face and he will be done.
-
Very puncheable face.
-
yeah, no.

Why? Republicans voted for a guy who openly admits to grabbing women by the pussy. How could the clip from Real Time possibly make Sasse's base care?

I'm pretty sure Sasse's Trump hate makes him liberal, though.

Dunking on trump's national emergency

His constituents are Nebraskans.

well, he at least thinks he's not what they want. he's putting in a lot of extra work if they like him for what he is.

Unless Nebraskans want someone who bends over for Trump every single time but acts like next time will be different.

I think he is the perfect candidate for Trumpers who don't want to reveal they're Trumpers because he's a brash big-city bad person. Make some noise about civility and "what we stand for" but go ahead and support all of his policies. I think a lot of Nebraskans (and Kansans) would fit into this mold.

In the last year and a half, Sasse has made a career branding himself as "the last honest man in the GOP," which is journalism code for someone who makes a lot of hay about Trump's character while inventing Principled Conservative reasons for gleefully implementing the worst parts of the administration's agenda
My lawd, I just re-read that article sys-Whack-A-Doo posted, change a couple of words and you've got the entire Obama presidency in a nutshell.

My favorite part is where he says trump is stupid and gullible and did bad things but trump sincerely believed he was doing good things and how could he punish a man for sincere beliefs?

There is a huge percent of pubs that would vote for Candace Owens

I have a pretty limited exposure to both, but Tim scott and maybe Nikki Haley could be alright. Pence would be the worst major party candidate in history.

Listen to Mike Duncan's Revolution's podcast. It goes through a lot of em (not just French) but the French particular ones are the 3rd Series (French Revolution), Series 6, France's June Rebellion 1832, Series 7: 1848 (though mostly all Europe but France is of course involved), Series 8: Second French Empire. They are involved in a lot of it, and yes, taking to the barricades is like their reflexive way of getting things done. In fact if you look at well, anytime they are pissed, they build barricades, it's kinda touching how traditional they are in their revolutionary angst.
On a side note, he's got 10 series/chapter, whatever, with some of those revolutions taking as many as 45 episodes, but all still good. Yes, he also covers the American Revolution, it's series 2, but the kinda sucky thing about it is that it's very short, like 15 episodes, and not that he hates that revolution or whatever, just his original goal was to try to keep things at like 15ish episodes a revolution, then he hit the French one right after, realized, holy crap, this is a lot, and just said eff it, I'll make as many as I need for each revolution (so that June Rebellion one is actually also short, but in depth, like 10 episodes, where 1848 and the French Revolution, are in the 40s/50s, and his current one the Russian, will probably end in the 90s.)
Also, there are two Revolutions in there worth listening to, Series 4, the Haitian with a lot on Toussant L'Overture, and Series 5, Gran Colombia, with Simon Boliver as those are simply not talked about as much, and the Haitian revolution is now his basically favorite and most real one, as it was literal slaves settings themselves free. But they're all good. Mexico is in there too, but I kinda found it boring.

someone from my hometown shared this big Sasse-energy post from a KS rep:
Rep. Mark Samsel, Kansas House District 5
Absolutely horrifying. Watching today's scenes brings tears to my eyes. It sickens me to the core. It is un-American.
QUIT DEMONIZING AMERICANS. QUIT DEMONIZING DEMOCRATS. QUIT DEMONIZING REPUBLICANS. QUIT TEARING APART THE INSTITUTIONS AND PEOPLE OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
This starts with you, Mr. President. You are our leader. In this regard, you have failed our nation. There is no other way to put it. If you want your legacy to be positive economic growth, do the right thing immediately, condemn this in the strongest words possible, and ensure the peaceful transition of power. Then lead your base to something positive for our country. This is not it. Your taped video on Twitter was not enough. America deserves better. America deserves to hear directly from you, Mr. President. We need courage from all elected officials right now. Not cowardice. Quit worrying about the next election. Just do what is right, right now.
My fellow Republicans, this cannot persist. We cannot lead and inspire like this. Tomorrow, we must have a serious conversation about our principles, our values, and how we treat one another. But tonight, I pray for our nation. Our President. Our law enforcement. Our young people who have seen our own U.S. Capitol attacked by fellow Americans proclaiming to be patriots.
I pray for all of us. Including those who detest me. We are all God's children. God Bless the United States of America. We need Him now more than ever.
the replies started with a "I'm so disappointed in America right now" (because it's America that's the problem but not Republicans) and then went to "antifa did this" territory including the phillyantifa.org image that dax believed.

Yes, he also covers the American Revolution, it's series 2, but the kinda sucky thing about it is that it's very short, like 15 episodes, and not that he hates that revolution or whatever, just his original goal was to try to keep things at like 15ish episodes a revolution, then he hit the French one right after, realized, holy crap, this is a lot, and just said eff it, I'll make as many as I need for each revolution (so that June Rebellion one is actually also short, but in depth, like 10 episodes, where 1848 and the French Revolution, are in the 40s/50s, and his current one the Russian, will probably end in the 90s.)
Also, there are two Revolutions in there worth listening to, Series 4, the Haitian with a lot on Toussant L'Overture, and Series 5, Gran Colombia, with Simon Boliver as those are simply not talked about as much, and the Haitian revolution is now his basically favorite and most real one, as it was literal slaves settings themselves free. But they're all good. Mexico is in there too, but I kinda found it boring.
That is a good podcast. He just dropped an ep reviewing the Russian Revolution so far and says he is going to start getting into the 1917 part of the Russian Revolution. I enjoyed the one about the American Revolution, also

Listen to Mike Duncan's Revolution's podcast. It goes through a lot of em (not just French) but the French particular ones are the 3rd Series (French Revolution), Series 6, France's June Rebellion 1832, Series 7: 1848 (though mostly all Europe but France is of course involved), Series 8: Second French Empire. They are involved in a lot of it, and yes, taking to the barricades is like their reflexive way of getting things done. In fact if you look at well, anytime they are pissed, they build barricades, it's kinda touching how traditional they are in their revolutionary angst.

Yeah, I follow him on the twitters, and I met/went in the revolutions' tour 2015 to England, Paris/Versailles. which was a lot of fun but boy are there are really nerdy people compared to me out there (nothing wrong, but next level on some of that stuff).
I haven't started back up on it recently just because with work we're heavy in starting new projects, and it's a lot of spec work, so a lot of reading and writing, not good to have other voices in my head. When I get back to drawings I'll probably listen

hopefully they'll find a tenable means of transferring the planes.
are you against providing arms to ukraine, kat kid?
-
I think some defensive weapons and small arms are fine enough, while providing something more offensive like cruise missiles capable of striking Russian cities or ICBMS or nukes would be clearly bad. I think Migs are pretty clearly past my own mental line and toward escalation and the Pentagon feels the same way so that makes me feel vindicated in my thinking.

Think of it like one of those "even the liberal New York Times says..." type of ways. If the Pentagon thinks it is too risky/dangerous in terms of escalating then it definitely is.

i don't think the pentagon feels the same way you feel (if we can assume that the pentagon feels the same way that the biden admin and congress feels), my understanding is that we are happy to facilitate the transfer, but the specific mechanics of the way poland suggested transferring the planes to ukraine was "untenable".
i think they are trying to figure out a way for ukrainian pilots to pick the planes up in a non-nato country or something like that.

That is not some minor detail and you are glossing over the fact that it would be a major escalation. There really are not very many ways for a transfer to happen even one that does not directly involve the US because Poland is in NATO.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/09/us/politics/poland-fighter-jets-ukraine-russia.html (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/09/us/politics/poland-fighter-jets-ukraine-russia.html)
In the midst of a remarkably unified alliance, the back and forth was a reminder that the joint effort to punish and ultimately repel Russia has a third rail that no one wants to touch. Ukraine’s allies will provide 17,000 anti-tank weapons in six days; they will train their cyberweapons on Russian targets. But they will not risk a dogfight over the skies of Ukraine, which, in the minds of many, is bound to bring them fully into the war.
That distinction was driven home on Wednesday, when Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken, who had initially seemed somewhat open to the idea of Poland giving its planes to Ukraine, said the idea of flying MIG-29 fighter jets to a U.S. air base in Germany for transfer to Ukraine lacked a clear “substantive rationale.”
“The prospect of fighter jets at the disposal of the United States Government departing from a U.S. NATO base in Germany to fly into airspace contested with Russia over Ukraine raises some serious concerns for the entire NATO alliance,” Mr. Blinken said during a news conference in Washington.
Then he got to his central point: “Our goal is to end the war, not to expand it — including potentially expand it to NATO territory,” Mr. Blinken said.

that passage actually supports what i wrote, but since i wrote it, i've seen other info stating that the u.s. thinks the transfer itself would be unwise and unnecessary, and it isn't just a matter of effecting the transfer in a particular way. so i no longer have much confidence that what i stated was correct.

When is the vote? Is there any reason why Senators should announce how they plan to vote beforehand? Did he give any justification other than "unfortunately, I can't"? If the vote is a fait accompli, I would think some pubs would go ahead and vote to confirm.

Herschel Walker bought an abortion and is domestic abuser and he is going to win.
Black MAGA willing to schill for white supremacy can literally get away with murder as long as they're willing to continue to coon. They're more bulletproof than white CEOs.
He's not going to win tho
He is getting dangerously close tho

It seems Ben has a friend at McKinsey. I know this play.

McKinsey never engages with clients unless the expected value provided exceeds the fees rendered.

Folks, if you thought that was a dunk I’ve got some medium news for you

It's very possible.

crap, I could be a terrific CEO/President. I am very well qualified to hire expensive consultants and defer accountability to them. You have tough questions? We are merely a SOW away from me taking care of it. I really truly despise schmoozing with professional service providers, but I am will to put in the hard work. Skiing with Boston Consulting at the Yellowstone Club, offshore fishing with Accenture, big game hunting with Tata, I am willing to do it to get the job done.
