It sounds like the kiss of death.

Rep. Flood....

Until all those MAGA protesting their MAGA reps actually vote them out in the midterms, I will not place any value to their complaints. If the congressmen continue to spout support for the draconian policies of Trump and Musk despite the protests, am afraid there may not be any elections in 2026.

Nebraskans (myself included even tho I live in Oregon now and am a blue dot) are a bit quirky even though most are pretty right. However, don’t f**k around with their stuff!

Just wait until they realize that USAID isn't there to buy their surplus crops. Many of them voted for this. Are you saying that they are OK with it as long as it affects someone other than them?

I can’t speak for them, of course. So I don’t know how they feel. I do know trump’s policies will have a huge effect on NE agriculture - and not in a good way. Republicans often vote against their best interests. They should learn stoicism to be less emotional.

Too bad most of those people voted for this. They just thought that someone other than them would be on the receiving end

Mr. Flood has failed to consider the pitchfork & torch ratio of his Nebraska constituency.

The arrogance of these reps is astounding.

shawnmcc.bsky.social•3 hours ago

They can afford to be because those people booing him will probably still vote for him. Until they lose elections they have no reason to change.

tmsoc.bsky.social•3 hours ago

They don’t sound like they would vote for him again if he keeps supporting Elon the Greedy’s destruction.

stepsfordemocracy.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Agreed. His constituents are losing jobs and health benefits. This is not business as usual & these reps are in for a rude awakening. He didn't even answer the question. They are all so locked into their own cult bubble that they can no longer think for themselves or give intelligent answers.

100 agree with you.

welshielady.bsky.social•3 hours ago

Republicans can’t help themselves. They constantly vote against their own interests. They’ll vote for him.

tmsoc.bsky.social•2 hours ago

Very true in the past. I believe the destruction happening now will move the needle.

Absolutely horrifying!!!

sbkbrian.bsky.social•7 hours ago

It's almost as if Flood knows that he won't need their votes ever again.

Musk is a very obvious liability

Encouraging. There are still lots of posts on Facebook about the thousands and thousands of jobs coming back. And gripes about Americans not doing menial labor for peanuts.
