Sasse is one the original National Review #NeverTrumper’s from day one, if I recall correctly, he even stated he voted for McMullin instead of Trump. If Trump said the sky was blue, Sasse would release a statement refuting it and calling Trump an idiot, his Trump Derangement Syndrome has turned him from a once pretty decent conservative Senator into a deranged lunatic.

For the same reason we “need” an income tax - should have never evolved as such because it allowed the government to grow into the entity that was described as “big enough to give you everything you need and also big enough to take everything you have”....Other than light houses (mostly needed in a bygone era), and other services that would not normally be worth a company delving into, and the military, there is no real valid reason for the government to be handling so much of our money...

Because while paper and ink or cable do not belong to the public the airwaves do.

Just like there are things you can not do in a public park there are things you can not do over the public airwaves. If you want to use the public airwaves there are certain standard you have to meet in return.

If NBC wanted to become a all cable channel then there is (AFAIK) no licensing issue and they can say what ever they want.

The Rinos are coming out of the woodwork!

I pity the folks in Nebraska who voted for this guy who said he was a Conservative and then turns around and votes like a Rino.

He needs to be primaried big time!

We will get them all of these Rinos out of the Republican party.

Most of this crap coming from these arrogant POSs could be resolved if senators were once again elected by their state legislatures. Most forget that the founders set it up where the House members were popularly elected to represent the people and senators were elected by their state legislatures to represent the state’s interests. But of course we screwed that up and now the Senate is just a glorified House. It needs to go back to the way it was and little POSs like McCain, Sasse, Heller etc would either be out or singing a different tune. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a hell of a lot better than it is now.

The Media is the right arm of the Rat party and they will pay dearly for the traitorous, trecherous, back stabbing, fake news, and the lies that spew out of their mouths and the print media every single hour of the day about President Trump.

They did not write one negative thing about the America Hating, Piece of Work, Imposter Obama that we had for 8 Freaking years.

Right now I would say the media prints out stuff that ain't worth the paper it is written on and nobody in their right mind is buying their stuff.

Does anyone know at what level his popularity is in Nebraska at this time?


My apologies to all for voting for BS (Ben Sasse) when he ran. I won’t make the same mistake again—though I did vote for Shane Osborn in the primary.

Popularity—hard to tell. After dissing a group in a summer, 2016, town hall meeting by not engaging on presidential politics (BS only would talk federal programs and issues), he promptly flies off to go to some Red State powwow and lambastes Trump. And there’s the Bill Maher show. State GOP censured him...

He needs to go on the “primaried” list. Quite an irony that he could be up for election in 2020 along with President Trump.

Aren’t you partially making Trump’s point? If networks are not regulated but subsidiaries are wouldn’t it be logical to examine the whole structure and then determine if networks are purposely deceiving subsidiaries and the public with unattributed, anonymous sources? Most Americans, I believe, are not sophisticated enough to question news organization’s sources believing what they hear on TV because they trust the system Trump is questioning to be giving them factual, if not complete, information on each story.

Post-17th Amendment ratification Sen. Basse’s misguided political question to Pres. Trump inspires me to mention the ultimate tax reform plan for Trump to implement.

Patriots need to support Trump in working with the states to repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment (17A). The 16th Amendment can disappear too.

When the state legislatures gave up their voices in Congress by ratifying 17A, they unthinkingly effectively repealed the whole Constitution by doing so imo.

Once the 17th Amendment is gone and unconstitutional federal taxes are stopped, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, the following will happen imo.

The states will probably find a tsunami of new revenues that they won’t know what to do with and be able to start experimenting with their own healthcare and retirement plans, increase funding for public schools, police and fire departments, and repair infrastructure for starters.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.


Patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of state sovereignty-respecting, Trump-supporting patriot candidates on the primary ballots and pink-slip career lawmakers by sending these patriot candidate lawmakers to DC on election day 2018.

Sasse is a twit, and hopefully will be ousted soon.

Sasse may be a swamp creature, but more concerning is that he is a constitutional retard.
