Live at the Capitol this morning, Senator Steve Erdman moves to suspend the rules 💪 He says, "If you like the way things have went the first 50 days, vote against this rule change.
If you would like to get your bill to the floor for debate, vote for this rule change." #neleg
Speaker Jon Arch begins right off by saying he supports this rule change, then cites Mason's rules as to how this is perfectly acceptable. #neleg
Senator Conrad, from the fightin 46 🤡 cites the wildly fake news @JournalStarNews (@ChrisDunkerLJS) & says this is 'problematic' & 'unprecedented', using hyperbolic language and sounding crazy. She's big mad😳
30 votes needed to suspend the rules. Are there enough? We think so..
Senator Moser says that maybe
the rule suspension is unprecedented but the actions of his colleagues are unprecedented also 💯👍
Cooler heads prevailing here this morning on the floor, it would seem the @NebraskaDems are scrambling 🫏🫏🫏
@JaneRaybould, seen here wearing a mask with nothing more than a crash test dummy, says something about football and rules. She provides little substance, so has to yield her time to Senator Deboer.. We're often not sure what Jane is saying, & it is no different here 🤷♂️ #neleg
Senator @George4NE Dungan spends all of his time this morning trying to remind everyone he's a lawyer... 🤔
Really guys, look, he's a real lawyer okay. All the sentence summersaults prove it 🤡 #neleg
Senator Tom Briese says the integrity of legislative process is at stake and a change of rules is warranted.
He thanks the Chairman of the rules Committee (Erdman) for bringing this forth and he will support the change 👍👍 #neleg
Senator Steve Erdman, well respected and also Chairman of the rules committee, cites Senator Conrad's own words where she said-
"We can do this."
He goes on to say we can and we should 💪💯 #neleg
Senator @JohnforNE Fredrickson uses his time this morning to say he has heartburn 🔥🔥🔥
@NebraskaDems really laying it all out there today 🤡
Senator Linehan tells heartburn kid that she's been around for awhile & she wants to get some things done this year.
"We need to take care of the business of the people who sent us here." She says.
"I'm absolutely for suspending the rules so we can get our work done." #neleg
Senator @SenMcKinneyLD11 says:
"We need to wake up and be leaders and do something this year." #neleg
@senatormachaela Cavanaugh starts dronning on about mutilating children, or something.
As you can see here, even @George4NE and her own brother, @JohnCavanaughNE along with everyone else, isn't even listening to her.
What a winning strategy from @NebraskaDems 🤡
@JustinTWayne called for a point of order and has now called to overrule the chair.
He is making some decent points, and at least speaking about something relevant to the situation at hand, instead of going on emotional tirades like almost all the rest of @NebraskaDems#neleg
We will keep you updated as the body now has the opportunity to speak on what @JustinTWayne has brought up.
Underlying theme here, even as Wayne pointed to, is that things need to get done.
Sen. Steve Erdman genuinely recognizes @JustinTWayne for all he has done for his district
Members of Nebraska #fakenews media wondering how they can best paint this for a half dozen or so radical leftists on the floor of the Leg.
Always looking to provide propaganda for some reason🤷♂️ @ChrisDunkerLJS missing from the photo as we heard he took a call from @georgesoros
Senator @JaneRaybould uses her time to complain about another Senator saying some are whining...
She then proceeds to whine the rest of the time 🤔
Thankfully they sell tissues at SuperSaver! 🤧
@senatorblood is yelling for the gavel on the floor of the legislature and trying to tell people to shut up!
She said that she is unable to think while other people are speaking 🤔
These are hard times for those who are easily confused, and @senatorblood is clearly one of them 🤡
@senatormachaela Cavanaugh now says that a change to the rules would in a sense blow up the session..
And yet, all along she has taken pride in saying that she had hoped to burn this session to the ground- her own words!
It is rich coming from Cray Cray Maochaela 👺 #neleg
"We are blowing up this session. The session is over." - @NebraskaMegan
This is what @NebraskaDems have to offer... Absolutely nothing but destruction, victimhood, lies, and obstruction to anything meaningful or positive for the citizens of this state. #sad
Uncovered in Hunter Biden's indictment: a staggering evasion of $1.4M in taxes, false tax returns, and extravagant spending while owing taxes. Lavish lifestyles, with $1.2M on personal luxuries like exotic cars and hotels, all while dodging tax responsibilities.
If found guilty, such financial misconduct could lead to severe penalties, including substantial prison time per count.
Remember, this is the smartest man Joe Biden knows.
#Accountability #TaxEvasion
The indictment document reveals several instances where Hunter Biden made payments to women, which were questionable in nature:
1. Payments to Women for Personal Services:Hunter Biden made payments to various women who were either romantically involved with him or performing personal services. This included a $10,000 payment for his membership in a sex club. He also claimed these expenses as false business deductions, thus falsely reducing his reported income for tax purposes.
2. False Payroll Deductions: He falsely claimed that money paid to women with whom he had personal relationships were wages, thereby reducing his tax burden. Despite little to no business activity, he directed his personal assistant to place three women with whom he had romantic or sexual relationships, and a fourth woman related to one of them, on payroll and provide them with health care benefits. These expenses were falsely treated as business expenses on Owasco PC’s Form 1120, reducing the reported income.
3. Specific Payments to Individual’s: He made a $1,500 Venmo payment to an exotic dancer at a strip club, labeling the payment as for “artwork” when no artwork was sold. Additionally, there was a $975 payment to “Crutch Card” for the benefit of his then-girlfriend, which was unrelated to any business activity, and a $438 payment to “Shinola,” a clothing store, for personal items.
These actions suggest a pattern of using business accounts for personal expenses and falsely categorizing them as business deductions, impacting his tax liabilities.
The indictment against Hunter Biden outlines several questionable actions:
1. Tax Evasion Scheme: He engaged in a scheme from January 2017 to October 2020 to avoid paying at least $1.4 million in self-assessed federal taxes for the years 2016 through 2019. This included evading the assessment of taxes for 2018 by filing false tax returns in February 2020.
2. Extravagant Lifestyle Over Tax Payments: He spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle instead of paying his tax bills. This included large expenditures on luxury items and living expenses.
3. Failure to File Tax Returns: He willfully failed to file his tax returns for 2017 and 2018.
4. False Business Deductions:When he finally filed his 2018 tax returns, he included false business deductions to evade the assessment of substantial tax liabilities.
5. Financial Support for Personal Expenses* Between January and October 2020, an entertainment lawyer provided him with substantial financial support, including paying for a lavish house, a Porsche, and other personal expenses, amounting to over $1.2 million. This support was used for various personal expenses but not to pay his federal individual income tax liabilities.
6. Summary of Expenditures: A summary of approximate expenditures made from Owasco PC and the Defendant’s Bank Accounts from 2016 to 2019 was provided, detailing his personal expenses during this period.
These actions, as outlined in the indictment, paint a picture of significant financial mismanagement and legal transgressions, particularly concerning tax obligations and personal expenditures.
📎 Attached are photos that preview the comprehensive 27-page document that presents a compelling case for a change in Sarpy County GOP leadership. It's time for new beginnings! ⏳
The totality of these pages showcases the dire need to bid farewell to the current leadership, plagued by ineffective decision-making and incompetence. 🚫🤝
Take a look at the numerous instances outlined within the document.
From obstructing the creation of a credentialing committee to adjourning meetings without proper procedures, the evidence speaks volumes. 🗂️📝
Robbie Adams, Margie Mosier, Michael Elkins, among others, experienced unacceptable delays & disrespect in their pursuit of membership.
🚨Now at the Nebraska State Capitol 🚨
Debate on 574 is underway, well ahead of schedule!!
Senator @George4NE on the mic now, and even as lawyers go, using some of the most hyperbolic language we've heard this legislative session 🤡 We're curious, George, is your practice of law… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
We will be keeping you updated minute to minute as things proceed this afternoon.
Now on the floor, @JustinTWayne and Speaker Arch having discussions with the Clerk of the legislature and Lt. Governor Joe Kelly. The conversation is intense, as Wayne has motioned to recommit the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@JustinTWayne is now attempting to overrule the chair, reading off from Mason's Manual of Legislative Procedure.
Seen again as a way to consume time, and a way to vent frustration on the rules passed earlier in the session.
Wayne has come with some energy this afternoon, but we… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
We wondered where he went when the Unicameral floor turned to lava for the Democrats. As soon as bills starting moving and the inevitable passing of LB77 (Constitutional Carry) to final round, Dip Dunker went comms silent. Don’t read his link to the Urinal Star. We took notes:
Sen. Erdman’s rules change passed 32-13 “The new rule is narrower than a proposed change considered by the Rules Committee earlier this year, which stipulated individual senators could only introduce each of the three priority motions once per day on each stage of debate.”
“We are blowing up this session,” @senatormachaela said. “This session is over and it’s on your terms because the terms were made clear to you for the last 4-6 weeks. You ignored that, you didn’t care.
We are back this afternoon as the legislature reconvenes!
We will bring you the important updates as the day progresses but right now here's a live look 👇👇👇
Anyone inside in there? Lights are off 💭 lol
Things starting to pick up here this afternoon:
-Senator @NebraskaMegan Hunt threatens Republican colleagues a few times
- Speaker Jon Arch says Hunt was late coming back from lunch, that's why she was skipped over
Sen. Hunt is consistently late in the mornings & for committees
Senator Hunt rudely attempts to speak while the Speaker has his time. Speaker Arch proceeds to say, "Please Senator."
Arch continues to say the session is not over (in response to Hunt earlier this morning)
🚨 YUGE W 🚨 - LB 626, The Heartbeat Act, and LB 574 - Let Them Grow Act, have both advanced from committee 🙌🏼
Thank you to Senator Albrecht and Senator Kauth for bringing forward these respective bills.
and a very heartfelt thanks to the hundreds of Nebraskans across the state who traveled to Lincoln to give testimony, submitted testimonies online, or lobbied members of the committee. It would not have happened without We the People 🇺🇸
Start lobbying your Senators now & make sure they will be voting YES ✅ on each of these bills! It’s time for Nebraska to #SaveTheBabies and #ProtectTheChildren ❤️
