2. So is he going to give back the 1.084 billion dollars received plus more for rental relief

Perhaps it has more to do with the population of the state (just over 1 million) and unemployment compared to other states. What a jackass.

4. Is this the only play the Republicans have left in their playbook?

If so. . .they are fighting the last war, not this one and only speaking to the true believers. Democrats don't care and moderates are willing to try a "far left" agenda, since far right didn't work.

6. Far Left Agenda That A Huuuuuge Majority Of Americans Agree With
Wed Apr 7, 2021, 03:06 AM
Apr 2021

Free and fair elections? Yes.
We never force people to not go to church. Don't know where this comes from. We won't discriminate. Very popular.
Most Americans think women have the right to do what they want with their bodies.
Make it harder for people to easily get guns, and assault weapons? Background checks. Almost all Americans say yes.

I guess America is truly Far Left.

In fact, this is a great opportunity to point and laugh, which is what we sane people should ALL be doing whenever some idiotic rethug does something like this. Every single time.

He has nothing to offer in place of, he has no plan for anything, outside of grand empty promises. And he's too dumb to come up with anything. So all he has left is lies and attacks.

Loser.

and Liar.

"a far-left agenda" that would institute a federal takeover of state elections, squash religious freedom, expand abortions and trample on gun rights."


OK. Notice he doesn't mention the pandemic, the vaccine rollout, the economy, opening schools safely, just god, guns, and they're letting the Black people vote.

Ricketts better be careful. HE's whining the majority, whose policies are popular with 70% of AMericans, aren't compromising with a minority. Elections have consequences.

Oh, and "Blue States" (are there not republicans and democrats in every state? It's devisive, since Blue states is just code for urban areas) subsidize Nebraska and the other "red" states every year. He better be real careful about that, lest Blue states start keeping their money in state..

and gets 12.3 billion, Nebraska gets 1.2 billion. So they get pretty much the same amount of money per person. I hope anyone who interviews him about this, mentions that fact.
