Shad Olson mulling run for Thune seat

South Dakota’s ideological purists are incensed with Republicans John Thune and Dusty Johnson for caving on Herr Trump. 

Potential alternative party or unaffiliated candidate Shad Olson has had enough. I have already predicted Thune won’t run for re-election so Kristi Noem has a straight shot at South Dakota’s seat but Olson believes she's just another RINO lapdog.

If you believe that John Thune, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Mark Meadows, Marco Rubio, Mike Pompeo and all the rest of the traitorous milquetoast personalities of the GOP didn't know for four years and just as thoroughly as Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden that the 2020 Election would be wired comprehensively for guaranteed outcome, you get what you deserve. The GOP sycophants didn't wake up the day after the election and decide to stab Donald Trump in the back. This was the plan for four years....just as I wrote in March of 2017, that if and when Trump's political star began to wane, it would not be the Democrats to plunge the final dagger, but the establishment Republicans that he defeated in 2016. That includes Ted Cruz and Kristi Noem. Both of whom are feigning tacit support while silently watching Trump's betrayal and positioning for a 2024 political theater exercise in a nation where the only people who will ever bother voting again are dead people, Democrats and special needs Republicans who still think pro wrestling is real. Anyone silent now is a traitor. And I mean that from rank and file sycophant toadies and precinct poseurs in my home state...all the way up to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. This is treason. Anyone who acquiesces is complicit in America's death. [Faceberg post, Shad Olson]

The Dakota Progressive: "unfortunately Shad Olson doesn't have the financial resources to run an effective statewide campaign."

That's absolute defamatory balderdash. But I would pay you to convince the IRS of that idiocy prior to my next quarterly filing deadline. It might save some on 1031 property exchange sheltering and Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery itemizations on my real estate properties and ancillary deductions. Someone has been reading too much fiction. [Shad Olson] 

Former Chairwoman at the Lincoln County GOP Betty Otten is calling for Republican heads to roll so is Rapid City’s Bill Napoli. Republican former legislator Betty Olson wants Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to be driven into exile after he acknowledged Joe Biden’s win. Arch-conservative Lora Hubbel from Sioux Falls calls Thune an “embarrassment.” Gordon Howie is saying Thune and Reich Mike Rounds are “out of touch with South Dakota” and should be replaced. Recall longtime Republican stalwarts like Phil Jensen, Charlie Hoffman, Betty Olson, Florence Thompson and at least fifteen others threw up their hands in desperation with first term Representative Howdy Doody Dusty Johnson and backed Elizabeth Marty May in the Republican US House primary. 

There is a “Primary John Thune in 2022” Faceberg page with 1800+ members. They’re serious but not serious enough to run an unaffiliated big name candidate against him in the general election because nobody can match his $13 million war chest. Making him burn off a few thousand dollars won’t weaken him one bit but moderate Jeff Lassle has all but announced for the SDGOP Senate primary as a symbolic protest. A big name principled conservative running an affiliated race in the general election is the real bang for the buck. 

Recall Bill Janklow banked his war chest even after killing Randy Scott. Thune is no less greedy, that’s for sure. 

Saudi-funded SDGOP chair Dan Lederman paid Gordon Howie a five figure sum to abandon his third party insurgency. Now the chasm separating the establishment Republicans from the principled conservatives in South Dakota is widening even more. Ideological purists loathe Lederman because sleaze and crime built his business. He spent $50,000 to buy a seat in South Dakota's corrupt legislature flaunting the same class by throwing it away resigning after the 2015 session then forcing his way into the chair of South Dakota's earth hater party and challenging Trump darling Governor Kristi Noem to become a Republican elector. 

There is a mass exodus underway from the SDGOP and there isn’t a single story about it in the South Dakota media. Principled conservatives are sick of being lied to by Zionist mob boss Lederman and are already fighting back against the South Dakota Republican Party insiders in the state. South Dakota's most ardent citizens for liberty are recruiting conservatives to run not just for the legislature but for statewide offices, too. That Lederman would steer criminals like Mohammed bin Salman into South Dakota is completely within his crooked wheelhouse.

The patriot movement wants to leave the GOP and form its own party. How would that work in South Dakota?
