Sadly, it's what his most ardent constituents want to hear.

He probably overheard a couple of his constituents talking about all of those damned illegals getting the vaccine before them when he was buying groceries at Walmart, and thought to himself "You know what? That is pretty messed up. Washington may not give a hoot about these honest, hard working Nebraskans, but I do."

You'd love to hear the made up rationale or the actual reason, because I'm certain you know the actual reason.

If you don’t vaccinate them, you can blame them for spreading the disease in NE.

I thought it should have come with the "tries too hard to be edgy" tag that okcat used to have under his name on here.

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:

Quote
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.

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

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

If most of the other republicans vote to impeach, then so will Sasse.
