I’m going Pillen now. I like where he’ll be on smacking down the dyed-hair, illiberal, neo-Marxist CRT compulsory Woke speech crowd.  Take a page from the DeSantis playbook there. 

In terms of the whole Tushiegate thing, I go with believability, and Slama seems way more believable than, say, that bat-**** crazy hag they dredged up for the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings.  I’ve also spoken to some friends who are close to the matter and learned that the counter-claims against Slama (that she took money from Herbster, that she “invited him to her wedding”) are severely being misconstrued. 

The whole Herbster thing seems weird to me like an “all hat no cattle” kinda guy.  Very little sustained interest in Nebraska and probably buying a Trump endorsement.  Then a bunch of campaign ads showing him (in as tall a pair of boots as they could find) shaking hands with random people while a narrator talks.  He’s never been strong or even halfway-good on stating where he’s at on real issues.

No pushback here.

My main theme is that the timing of this event is reminiscent of previous such events that just happened to pop up during confirmation hearings and political campaigns, rather than during the actual timing when they allegedly happened.

It all has a certain whiff to it.

Opusnbill7:
Agreed.  But the credibility of the accusers in this case is much better, along with having witnesses on the record.  It shouldn't require that, but in this political day and age (R and D alike), they'll play for any advantage they can get no matter the ethics. 

Well, actually, ethics doesn't exist anymore I don't think.  Unless you're one of the subjects/plebes.

Otterf18:
I really like Julie Slama but I have a difficult time believing it took three years for her to bring up this traumatizing incident…..and she had to read the accusation from print…normally she is very verbose and doesn’t read from notes.  Indeed she was so traumatized by this event that she invited the perpetrator to her destination wedding in the Dominican Republic just 4 months ago.  Additionally he donated $10,000 to her campaign which she accepted.  And then, lo and behold, on almost the same day eight (anonymous) women came forward with similar accusations!  What a coincidence! My nose sensor isn’t great but I think I smell a rat!

Normally with these things I take a wait and see stance until more info becomes available. In this case I have more info. Last summer I helped a friend with site security at Gov Ricketts Steak fry in Nebraska city. There are two entrances to Arbor State Park. One at the Northwest corner and one at the Southeast corner. I was at the Northwest gate. Orders from the Secret Service, Homeland Security and the State Patrol were that my gate was for Law Enforcement and Vendors ONLY with a few named VIPs. MS Slama came to my gate, with I presume her husband. I explained to her that this gate was for Law Enforcement and vendors only plus a few named VIPs and that her name wasn't on my list of VIPs. She told me her staff had been instructed to have her enter the park through my gate. As she was the featured speaker that day it made sense. I told her that I would have to call my boss and he would have to call NSP and then the calls would come back to me but it would take a while. She said she understood and told me I was just doing my job. She couldn't have been more cooperative, gracious, or friendly (appropriately) the call did come back in about 10 minutes and I was told where to park her car. My boss drove up in his Gator and gave her and her husband a ride to the venue. Later that day Charles Herbster also showed up at my gate wanting to park there. I again explained that this was for Law Enforcement and Vendors only and that his name wasn't on my list of VIPs. He starts to argue with me! I explained that there was VIP parking by the Arbor Mansion and that it was closer than here would be. He continues to argue with me and then slides a $20 bill out his window to save a place for him. I blew up at him and told him not to insult my integrity like that ever again. This set of actions doesn't prove anything but it sure does lend credibility to MS Slama and take it away from Herbster!! After this I wouldn't vote for him to be a poop scooper let alone Gov!!
