Brother of an absurdity shitty governor.
Breaking: turd rises to surface as other turd sinks. Story at 11.
Daddy bought him a governorship after his failed attempt to buy him a Senate seat in 2006. No offense to @irasdad but I hope the Cubs finish in the cellar every year until Ricketts sells the team.
Former Gothamist employees must be besides themselves.
Ricketts was nominated by Trump to be deputy secretary of commerce, but withdrew from consideration for the post last year over difficulties complying with financial divestiture rules.
Hasn’t stopped Donald!
Yeah but if you everyone do as the leader does then the leader isn’t special anymore.
He’s dearly loved over here in good old Huskerland.
Glad I’m not the only one that can’t type coherently!
“Central casting? Hi, we need a new finance chair. Yes, yes, a member of the ten digits club, if you please. Oh, he sounds wonderful! A green suit emblazoned with gold dollar signs?! TREMENDOUS!!!”
It doesn’t sound as if they’ve had enough time to vet him for interesting incidents. Let the popcorn begin.
His Dad is Joe Ricketts, founder of Ameritrade. Datek was bought out by Ameritrade in 2002. Datek was a great company, Ameritrade is not.
His sister is not only a prominent LGBTQ activist, she is also a Democrat who raised millions for Obama and then for Clinton. I doubt the RNC will make (or hear) any fuss about it: in 2016 Todd raised money for Scott Walker and then even more money for Trump.
