Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Useless Gasbag Self-Promoting Half-Democrat Ben Sasse Resigning From The Senate Seat He Was Just Re-Elected To in 2020I guess he's angry that the GOP might win the Senate.
Sasse's specialty was avoiding confronting Democrats about difficult issues or taking difficult positions. He wasted valuable time in committee not asking probing questions, but instead offering pious but gauzy homilies about vague notions like "citizenship" and "a duty beyond self." Things no one could really disagree with because they sounded nice and were fundamentally... devoid of actual content. To call them platitudinous would be a gross insult to platypuses. He made these speeches because his goal from day one of his senatorship has to promote himself to run as a "centrist, moderate" candidate for President, a "different kind of Republican" who can "unite us instead of dividing us." He took second place to no man, including Barack Obama, in a contest of self-regard. A major part of establishing his bona fides on that score was to side with Democrats as often as possible, and to avoid taking positions which put him too firmly on the side of his, how do I put this delicately?, his disgusting, gross voters and constituents. He's like David French with 20% less paunch. Ian M. SwansonThis sounds right to me: there is no time to schedule a contest in time for the upcoming election, so a replacement will be appointed until the 2024 elections. The governor of Nebraska is Pete Rickets, a Republican. I don't know if he's especially conservative. Damin ToellGood-bye, Sassy. Don't let the door hit you on the assy. Can't wait for the upcoming sex scandal from his tenure as professor. I just wonder what gender the student he's caught having an affair with will be. LOL: BREAKING: The University of Florida announced that Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse is the lone finalist to be the school's next president. So now he works for DeSantis.Update: I'm starting to see a scenario where Rick Scott becomes the majority leader.It moved. That's the test, isn't it?!! If a man makes it move?!?! Below, Sasse avoids taking a position on the Democrats' grotesque hit on Kavanaugh, preferring to babble about "Schoolhouse Rock lessons" about the proper role of the judiciary.

======== Sure, he voted for Kavanaugh. Sure, there was never a doubt about whether he'd vote for any of these nominees. But, he was a limp wristed, gasbag who thought he was better than the political fighting that is inherent to government. I swear, the people who read Democracy in America once in high school and think that American governance has always been polite debate are some of the most insufferable people in the political sphere.

No idea. Posted by: Archimedes at October 06, 2022 04:27 PM (ayzS/) ========= March 19. It's the 27th state to go. DeSantis winning in Florida but losing everywhere else would not lead to DeSantis winning the primary, and the way primaries work, the early winners tend to gain traction with later states. DeSantis beating Trump in polls a year and a half out in the Florida primary means just about squat.

Boy they sure keep f'ing up in Uvalde Texas with that school shooting. One of the officers under investigation resigned from the police force was then hired as security for the exact same kids that were trapped during the shooting that are attending a new school. Parents that lost kids in the shooting recognized her and are furious. The officer is Crimson Elizondo. What really pissed people off is comments she made on video from her body cam. She is heard saying that "if my son had been in there, I would not have been outside I can promise you that" right after it happened. Unreal.

Posted by: Random Internet Asshole at October 06, 2022 04:31 PM (8LP6B) I understand this and somewhat agree, but the up side of a Trump term would be that he can take all the fire while he goes after DOJ and FBI and other corruption, etc. and then go away and leave a wide open door for DeSantis after. In other words, Trump would take all the fire and heat and hatred while getting things done and then be gone. And Trump would have a huge chip on his shoulder to go after the deep state and wouldn't have any worries about being reelected so wouldn't worry too much about approval ratings, etc. I'm certainly open to DeSantis, but I see much more upside of another Trump term.

This is good news. Sasse is much better suited to be a university president than a senator. And he could do some real good at UF, just as Mitch Daniels did some real good at Purdue.
So sick of all the whining by Ace. He whines that we shouldn't have to accept a fake Republican in a state like Oklahoma. And he's correct on this. So when Sasse quits to do something he's better suited for and a Republican governor gets to make his replacement, which sounds win-win to me, we just get more whining.

Posted by: JROD My daughter came over last night and roped me into watching part of the Dahmer series on Netflix. Two police officers early on if they had investigated Dahmer properly after walking in to his apartment with the "bad smell" and returning a drugged and injured teenager that Dahmer said was his boyfriend and only drunk after a little tiff except that he wasn't. He was a 16 year old that Dahmer picked up that night with promises of $100 for just taking photographs of him. Dahmer drugged and injured him prior to the kid's escape only to be returned by the cops who believed Dahmer's bullshit that the kid was 19 and he was just drunk after a lover's quarrel. The cops in question were fired but then re-instated with back pay of $55K. They could have saved many lives had they done their due diligence but ended up being rewarded for their incompetence.

> Cruz fucked himself over when Trump supporters were beaten up at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and Cruz came out with some wishy-washy statement instead of condemning the goons. That's when I hopped off the Cruz train.
Cruz seems to do OK when the base points him in the right direction and he decides to take on the fight. He doesn't seem to have any instincts to direct himself before a groundswell happens. It's honestly a bit baffling to watch. He doesn't seem to be able to simply observe a wrong against his base and take up arms unless enough people call out. When he does take a position without this guidance, it's too often some technocratic crap, or Washington insider popular opinion.

Those cops have defended that awful decision over and over again. One even had the balls to say there were no red flags. There's actually a recording of two of those cops joking about reuniting the two "lovers." Sure, it was a naked, underaged (14 years old, one cop thought he was ELEVEN OR TWELVE), incoherent guy bleeding out his butt, but that's normal for gay quarrels, right? Apparently they placed great import on the fact that Dahmer appeared to assist the young lad and the lad didn't attempt to break away from him. Additionally, the witness who called police that night, tried to contact the police several times to follow up. She wanted to know if they helped save the young man. They blew her off.

Actually, Sasse's voting record per the American Conservative Union was as starboard as Ted Cruz. His deficiency has been that striking attitudes mattered to him more than anything else.

"hoping to be touted as The Next John McCain."
Sasse has been immersed in evangelical subcultures since his student days and was never in the service. No domestic scandals either. You could never sell him as 'the Next McCain'. You cannot sell him as 'the Next Romney', either, because Sasse shows no evidence of regarding issues as fungible. Sasse's problem is personal vanity.
