Eh... Bill Kintner. Sigh...

It seems horribly pointless at this late date to go back and rehash what happened--especially after Pillen won, and Slama and her girl squad dropped their allegations, and Herbster was "rehabilitated" such that he is making the rounds in Evangelicaldom and stumping for the NEGOP cause and everyone is pretending that "nothing ever happened."

Which is totally mind-bending and stinks to high heaven like the world's most massive fish kill ever...

AND I have SO VERY MANY QUESTIONS.

Is he a whipped cur brought sternly and smartly to heel--or is he the Nebraska real-politik version of a martyred saint?

One thing I have never understood about Julie Slama and her fellow accusers (and I'd understood that there are a lot of questions going around in other quarters about this too), is that if Herbster really did do something (or as frequently as any of those who accused him claimed that he did, then... how did NO ONE ever manage to catch any of that on video? If he was pinching bottoms or patting them, or otherwise feeling those women up at public functions, then... I think that at least you'd catch them jumping, or eyes widening in surprise or shock, or... other various reactions.

And... no one did. And--if the background info I was given on this is any good, if Herbster is as short as everyone says, putting him at a level where he would naturally be placing his hands where they didn't belong whether that was what he intended or not, then... there should even be compromising photos where he was caught red-handed doing that.

Not only that, but... Julie Slama accepted campaign donations from him and even invited him to her destination wedding. Which... I am now also wondering if all the girl squad also attended as well? And if so, if he was such a handsy dude and inclined to put them where he should not, WHY did she do that?

Also, FWIW, Ricketts is rumored to have thrown a hissy fit when Trump endorsed Herbster. Scuttlebutt behind the scenes insisted that Ricketts was angry because Herbster said something derogatory that he shouldn't have about Ricketts' sister, and Ricketts, being an idiot, decided to turn it into a vendetta and pay Herbster back by scuttling his chances of ever becoming governor.

Apparently, Ricketts straight up TOLD Trump that he was going to do that.

As for Epstein... ay yai yai... I am so very appalled at the way the Trump administration has mishandled all of this with the public. They haven't succeeded in protecting anyone, least of all Epstein's formerly teen victims. All they've done is created a well of great, overwhelming dissatisfaction--and it's liable to cause serious problems in the future.

NEVER EVER make promises to your political supporters that you are unable or unwilling to keep.

I'm not a fan of Ricketts, but... Andrew, why, oh, WHY can't we please have a REAL MAGA Republican to vote for instead of that nasty Ricketts?
