re: #131 Targetpractice

From a ground level perspective, do you figure that Ricketts is prepping for a Congressional run next year? Because it sure as fuck looks that way from here.

He is term-limited as state governor. He’s out next year.

Sen. Deb Fischer is not up for reëlection until 2024, and Sen. Ben Sasse is not up until 2026.

He could try for the US House. In Nebraska, the law says a resident can run to represent any district. (That’s why in the last election here in NE-3, we had a person from Omaha running against Adrian Smith.)

All three of our representatives voted to overturn election results in states they don’t represent, and each tries to out-Trump the other.

Ricketts also keeps getting entangled with staff members who are open Nazis. There are a whole lot of people here who despise him.

He’s a real billionaire, who earned it the hard way (he inherited it), unlike Donald Trump. I think the only reason he’s actually being so Trumpy is he’s trying to hold the state’s GOP voters together. That would explain why he has to do things like suppress Covid number reporting (they expose him as a liar) to keep the Republigrift going that Covid isn’t serious or is fake or something.
